This reduction signifies a positive shift in thought patterns and behaviors related to eating, shape, and weight. Our patients discover freedom from constant food and body concerns and spend less time engaging in disordered eating behaviors when their scores drop below this threshold.
The Within results
Within is leading the way by utilizing an evidence-based practice approach and measurement-based care model to ensure highly personalized, effective treatment experiences. We are able to improve outcomes and support our patients on their unique journeys toward recovery by combining the extensive expertise of our clinical team with research-backed treatments designed to address eating disorders and co-occurring symptoms.
Our results speak for themselves—meaningful and lasting outcomes for our patients and their families.
Our results speak for themselves
We use validated patient-reported outcome measures* to track patient progress and evaluate our treatment programs as a whole. Our data shows that, on average, our patients experience significant improvements in symptoms and functioning by the time they are discharged from the Within treatment program. These changes are substantial, demonstrating treatment effects comparable to in-person treatment programs.

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.

"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.

I truly value this 45 minutes each week."

No other program has done that for me, and I think that is what makes Within truly unique."

Testimonials received from real patients. Photos are not of actual patients.
“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.”
