Eating Disorders Treatment Program

Program Overview

Established in 1988, The Children's Hospital Eating Disorders Treatment Program is the Rocky Mountain region’s most comprehensive center for evaluation and treatment of eating disorders in children, adolescents and young adults through age 21. Due to our unique location within a children’s hospital, we are able to address the full spectrum of symptoms that can be associated with an eating disorder.

Our program focuses on the many factors which contribute to the onset and maintenance of the eating disorder, the role of the family and support system, and establishing a plan to achieve and maintain recovery. Our multidisciplinary treatment team includes specialists from adolescent medicine, psychiatry and nutrition. The program emphasizes family based therapy for a comprehensive approach to care.

• Eating disorders inpatient unit
