Eating Disorder Treatment in New Hampshire

Virtual Eating Disorder Treatment

While many people benefit from seeing New Hampshire eating disorder therapists and dietitians in person, it's not the only way to receive quality care.

Virtual eating disorder treatment has become increasingly popular over the years. Requiring nothing more than internet access and an enabled device, the method has expanded healthcare access to those who live far from in-person treatment centers and patients with challenges related to transportation or mobility, but it also provides a convenient alternative for anyone seeking this type of mental health help.

While virtual eating disorder programs are still relatively new, studies have already shown they can be just as helpful as in-person sessions in many cases.²

Other Eating Disorder Resources in New Hampshire

From Portsmouth to Hanover and many places in between, there are many places to find New Hampshire eating disorder therapists and dietitians. But help can be found elsewhere, as well. The state's Department of Health can handle general inquiries about the conditions and offer further resources on care coordination, program or specialist referrals, and additional education on eating disorders.

Some residents will also qualify for New Hampshire's Medicaid Behavioral Health Services. This program offers more direct assistance, including therapy sessions and medical evaluations. Referrals for residential treatment, medical nutrition therapy, and other specialized types of care, as well as support for potentially related mental health concerns, such as substance use disorder, are also available.
