Eating disorder treatment in Kannapolis, North Carolina

The Within program treats eating disorders remotely, meaning you can stay in the comfort of your home, work, or travel outside of Kannapolis while getting the help and support you need. You'll be connected with your treatment team, which includes a nurse, medical doctor, registered dietitian, nutritionist, therapist, and more.

You'll need clearance from your primary care doctor or medical provider before being admitted to a program. Once your onboarding and clinical assessments have been completed, you'll have access to a team of professionals licensed in North Carolina via the Within app. Here, you will also be able to see your weekly schedule, join therapy sessions, and view your treatment plan.

There are several benefits of receiving treatment for eating disorders in a remote environment. First, you'll be able to get help no matter where you live in Kannapolis, North Carolina. No more searching for a physical treatment center that is convenient to travel to—you can connect with your treatment team all online.

Additionally, a remote treatment approach means getting help in your usual environment. In traditional in-person recovery centers, you're removed from your everyday surroundings and people, which can be your triggers. Once you return home, you need to learn how to deal with the triggers you were removed from during treatment.

Your Within treatment team will help you recognize and deal with your triggers as part of your program, which supports a longer-lasting recovery.

Depending on your health insurance plan, it may cover your treatment to some extent. Tell your eating disorder care team about your insurance during your initial call to see what your options are.

At Within, our team will work directly with your insurance carrier.

Treating eating disorders involves several different aspects and different health professionals, so you can expect regular contact with different people throughout your treatment.

You'll have your own personal Within treatment team, licensed in Kannapolis, with whom you'll regularly see and connect, including a mental health professional, nutrition experts, registered dietitians, nurses, and more. They are all there to address both your mental health and physical health.

You'll learn healthy eating behaviors and healthier habits through nutritional counseling and working with a registered dietitian. In addition, you'll understand why unhealthy eating behaviors began in the first place by attending individual and family therapy. Even if your family doesn’t live locally in Kannapolis, they’ll still be able to participate in therapy sessions remotely—that’s the beauty of remote care.

Your treatment team will create a personalized treatment plan that will address any other mental health conditions that may be present and work to improve your physical health.

Individual and family-based therapy are both important during the recovery process for eating disorders. They help you work through eating disorder behaviors and allow a mental health professional to reframe how you feel about food.

Family members are encouraged to attend therapy to understand the eating disorder and learn how to support their loved ones. Whether they live in Kannapolis or don’t live in North Carolina at all, they’ll be able to attend sessions remotely and be there to support you on your journey.

The great thing about treating eating disorders online is that you won't need to leave the program if you move to another city or out of North Carolina entirely. As long as you're moving to a state where we have licensed clinicians, you can continue your Within program without a problem.

Unlike in-person residential treatment options, you won't need to find another program in your new state and start over again.

All types of eating disorders are treated through the Within program. Whether it's bulimia, anorexia, binge eating disorder, or other types, help is available. In addition to treating the eating disorder in question, your Within care team will also address other factors that may play a role in the disorder, such as co-occurring mental health issues and other health problems.
