The Eating Disorders Program at The University of Chicago Hospitals provides comprehensive outpatient services for the assessment, treatment and follow-up of adolescents and adults with eating disorders.
At the Eating Disorders Program at The University of Chicago we practice evidence-based treatment. The clinic is staffed by experts in the field involved in ongoing clinical research studies and the primary focus is the treatment of eating disorders. To ensure the best possible outcome for the patient, our clinic adheres to treatments based on prior research.
Each patient, adolescent or adult, is treated by a team of physicians and therapists working together. Our approach seeks to comprehensively treat both the physical symptoms and the psychological components of the eating disorder.
For adolescent patients, we seek to incorporate the parents in treatment, because the support, encouragement and care of family is essential for recovery. Our treatment also targets the eating disorder symptoms, which are seen as separate from normal adolescent behavior.
