Early intervention for successful reintegration.
Treatment works best when delivered early. The risks of struggling with an eating disorder are not to be ignored, and treatment should not be delayed. vIOP can offer early intervention support for individuals with the medical stability to thrive within a virtual treatment environment. Online eating disorder treatment is also a valuable option for individuals who are transitioning from higher levels of care and want to hone their recovery skills with virtual peer support and more autonomy.
Early intervention can keep eating disorder behaviors contained before symptoms and health risks and higher levels of care are required. vIOP clients can continue to work with their outpatient team while in treatment, with minimal disruption to their daily lives.

All-Inclusive nutrition philosophy
With our “All-Inclusive Nutrition” approach, we believe in flexibility and enjoyment of foods without shame or judgment. Alsana’s All-Inclusive Nutrition approach embraces the usefulness of all foods, including those that are compact, innovative, and nutrient-rich, to aid in restoring and healing the brain, body, and gut microbiome. This approach broadens nutrition healing for our clients from all cultural and diverse backgrounds. It is a cornerstone of our online eating disorder treatment, ensuring a comprehensive and compassionate recovery journey. Our goal is to create food neutrality by taking out the moral judgment of food and focusing on nourishment, flexibility, and pleasure in the nutritional healing process.
Two-Week Intensives for relapse prevention
Eating disorder recovery is not linear, and eating disorder lapses happen. The good news is lapses do not have to turn into relapses. With support, you can nourish your hard-earned recovery and regain your balance.
Two-Week Intensives are relapse prevention programs at PHP/IOP levels of care, designed to support those struggling to maintain their recovery from eating disorders. Relapse prevention programming is available virtually and in person. If you or someone you know needs help, contact us today and connect with a real person via 24/7 Live Chat.
