"It’s really great to be able to receive treatment and still live my life. I’m really glad that I didn’t have to choose between treatment or school and could do both."

"I think that Within really does a great job overall. The opportunity to do my eating disorder treatment at home was a game changer. I would have never done residential treatment."

"Within has given me the tools I need to stay afloat outside of treatment. From day one, my team has supported me in so many ways. From somatic exercises to art therapy and even movement groups. I am lucky to have gotten the support I needed to be where I am today."

"My Care Partner was the glue holding everything together. She connected the dots between my other caregivers. It was nice to review my assignments with her or process something that happened during the week."

"The alumni group has been part of my weekly recovery since I stepped down. It has been such a helpful bridge in my transition from IOP to outpatient. The clients and leaders have given me the space to be truly vulnerable and honest. It is so special to continue to connect with the people I have met at Within Health. I truly value this 45 minutes each week."

"My dietitian was always there for me. When I started the program, I was anxious and uncomfortable, but my dietitian made sure my comfort was always the first priority. I probably would have quit programming at the start if not for him."

improvement in quality of life
Our patients experience enhanced quality of life across psychological, physical, cognitive, financial, and work/school domains as the impact of the eating disorder declines throughout treatment. Scores below the norm for impairment are a testament to our program’s mission to integrate treatment into their lives rather than removing them from what they care about most.

Weight restoration
Weight increases by discharge for patients with anorexia nervosa
Patients enjoy enhanced health and vitality through increased intake, a more varied diet, and restored weight for those with suppressed levels. Reaching and maintaining at least 90% of ideal body weight is a key milestone that boosts the chances of achieving full, long-term recovery.
What our clinicians say about Within's online virtual program
“Within’s groundbreaking and innovative eating disorder treatment program provides every body, everywhere, access to comprehensive, measurement-based care. Our outcomes demonstrate that remote care can be equally effective and, in some cases, superior to traditional brick-and-mortar care for some patients. I’m so grateful to our entire team and the outstanding results we are seeing.”
“We knew we could build a platform to treat people in their homes, but what we didn’t anticipate was how powerful it would be to extend recovery and support into someone’s space, work with them through the triggers in their own environment, and how powerful it would be to tap into their support system and teach them about sustaining recovery.”
We’re continually improving our program
Within is committed to clinical excellence and offering the highest quality care. Not only do we use outcome data collected during treatment to improve our program, but we continue to gather data from our patients after completion. With this post-discharge data, we can further enhance our program to ensure the best outcomes.
