Virtual Eating Disorder Treatment

While many Illinois eating disorder centers are set up to help patients in the state, they don't represent the only viable options. Virtual eating disorder treatment has become an increasingly popular way for patients to receive specialized attention and care.

These programs expand access to eating disorder treatment for people all over Illinois, including those who have challenges around mobility or transportation or those who live far from in-person centers. Studies have shown that virtual care can be just as effective as in-person treatment in many cases, meaning you don't have to compromise quality for convenience.2

Additional Eating Disorder Resources in Illinois

If you're seeking treatment for eating disorders in Illinois, there are other avenues to find help. The state's Department of Health offers several general health services, including educational materials and additional resources. The agency may also be able to help you coordinate care or get referrals to specialized treatment programs, such as nutrition counseling.

Similarly, the Illinois Medicaid Behavioral Health Services can offer further assistance for some residents, including group and individual therapy sessions and other mental health support. The service also specializes in substance use issues, so it could be particularly helpful for those with certain co-occurring disorders.

Finding the Best Illinois Eating Disorder Centers

Whether you're looking for an outpatient program, residential treatment, or other treatment options, the search process can feel overwhelming. Asking yourself some of these questions may help streamline the selection process:3

  • How would you describe your treatment style? Do you have an overriding philosophy?
  • How do you deal with co-occurring conditions or other potential underlying factors?
  • What measurements do you use to gauge progress or recovery?
  • Do you only treat a specific eating disorder or offer care for several conditions?
  • Do you involve friends or family members in treatment?

Starting with questions like this can help you get a clearer picture of your wants and needs and ensure your recovery journey is as fruitful as possible.
