For adults and mature adults
It’s becoming more and more important for adult and mature adults to receive specialty care for eating disorders as many will not be diagnosed with an eating disorder until midlife or experience a relapse later in life.1 This is true particularly for women, as perimenopause may make them more vulnerable to disordered eating behaviors.2
At Within, we offer personalized treatment for adults in two distinct milieus—young to mid-adult and mature adult—to best meet their life needs and prioritize recovery, health, and well-being.

We offer more contact hours than other PHP and IOP programs because support through your journey is imperative.
