Alsana’s Virtual PHP/IOP Program Features

Alsana Connect virtual programming offers the same quality of personalized care as our traditional in-person programs.

Aurora online eating disorder treatment is offered every day of the week with flexible programming throughout the day. In addition:

Every client receives a full clinical assessment at admission to aid in the creation of their individualized treatment map-regardless of care method.
Virtual PHP/IOP programming includes group and individual therapy, nutrition counseling and nourishment support, and recovery-minded movement/yoga.
We offer support for members of clients’ support network, including family members and supportive others.
Care is provided by a compassion-focused, licensed care team with experience treating eating disorders in the virtual space.

An Eating Recovery Community in Aurora

Because eating disorders often worsen in isolation, we believe recovery is more successful in a community. We’ve intentionally structured our virtual 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 Online Eating Disorder Treatment Right For Me?

Flexible, online eating disorder treatment in Aurora makes it well-suited to support individuals who:

Are transitioning from a higher level of care.
Are caregivers/parents.
Have severe food-related allergies.
Are ready for more autonomy/less structure.
Are working or attending school.
Are seeking early intervention to avoid needing a higher level of care in the future.
Want to be with family and other members of their support network while in treatment.

The flexibility of virtual care makes it a valuable care option for adults of all genders who are ready to practice recovery skills and cope with triggers in a less-structured, ‘real-life’ treatment environment.

Because safe recovery is our top priority, every client must complete medical and clinical assessments so we can determine the most appropriate method and level of care. Contact our admissions team via 24/7 live chat to learn more.
