Within University

The Within University is a safe place for students to recover from their eating disorders while continuing their education and everyday life.

We provide higher levels of care for students, including IOP+ and PHP+, and involve families and loved ones every step of the way.

We go where patients go

The beauty of Within Health is that the treatment program goes where patients go—they don’t need to pause recovery because they’re going out of state for the holidays. We are continually expanding our reach to eventually cover all U.S. states.

Patient recovery prioritized

We coordinate with the patient’s family, student health services, Dean’s offices, coaches, disability services, campus dining, professors, and outpatient providers to prioritize their recovery journey and help them integrate back into real life. We also work with their insurance provider to maximize coverage and offer financial planning support.

Recovery is possible and we're here every step of the way.

Outcomes for undergraduate and graduate students:

36%
decrease in eating disorder symptoms.
41%
decrease in depressive symptoms.
48%
improvement in quality of life.
13%
decrease in trait anxiety.

Meal delivery and support

Patients benefit from a personalized meal plan and delivery service so they can take the guesswork out of mealtimes. We also offer a Portioning Lab that allows them to practice eating in the dining hall, at parties and other social events, and on the road.

Student groups and support

We offer groups designed specifically for college students, including:

  • Within University Process Group
  • RO-DBT and Beyond Movement
  • Movement specialists for all students, including specializations for athletes
"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."
