We’ve intentionally structured our virtual adolescent PHP/IOP programs so that each client is part of a cohesive, consistent group from day one to discharge. This aids in creating a sense of community and support within the comfort and safety of each client’s home environment.

Is Virtual Eating Disorder Treatment a Good Fit for Me?

Our adaptable, virtual eating disorder programs in Sacramento are designed to assist adolescents who:

  • require ongoing support following a transition from intensive care.
  • desire early intervention for developing eating disorder patterns.
  • experience heightened comfort and engagement in therapy from their residence.
  • manage demanding schedules with academic or extracurricular obligations.
  • reside in regions with limited access to specialized eating disorder care.

Virtual Perception of Care

Alsana’s care teams administer Perception of Care Surveys for all clients when they step down to a new level of care or discharge from Alsana, regardless of discharge type. This aids our teams in identifying opportunities for improvement while also inviting clients to reflect on their online eating disorder treatment experience and use their authentic voices.

    Testimonials
  • Stars

    Alsana gave me tools to help myself. I learned what was underneath my ED and also that I may never fully know its origin. I was given the space and opportunity to explore this and more. I’m still healing and will continue to put into action what I have learned. Very grateful for this program and the community and support it gave me.
