Forest View's professional reputation has been developed
through eighteen years of experience in the treatment of Eating Disorders.
Forest View provides services for children, adolescents and adults
struggling with anorexia nervosa (self-starvation) and bulimia nervosa
(binge-purge syndrome). The treatment team provides services and addresses
co-existing psychiatric disorders such as major depression, substance
abuse and trauma disorders. Eating disorders treatment is provided
as an integrated part of general adult and adolescent inpatient and
partial hospital treatment programs.
- Acute Inpatient Treatment is for those individuals whose behavior
has placed them at serious risk due to medical complications and
for those who are suicidal or self-abusive. Patients receive treatment
on the inpatient unit which is staffed 24 hours per day.
- Partial Hospitalization is available for patients needing significant
structure in order to control eating behaviors. Many patients transition
from inpatient to partial during their treatment. Patients attend
programming 6 hours per day, Monday through Friday while residing
in the community.
The more warning signs a person has, the higher the probability
the person has or is developing an eating disorder. If you think you
or someone you know has an eating disorder, please call and talk
to a mental health professional who is prepared to answer questions
and provide information. Our Assessment and Referral Center is open
24 hours a day and all assessments are provided free of charge.
