The New Directions Program

Treatment with Dignity and Compassion

The New Directions Program is offered solely via telehealth so people all over California can get treatment.

At New Directions Eating Disorders Center, we prioritize accessibility and affordability in our eating disorder treatment programs. We have contracts with many insurance companies in California to help cover the cost of our program. Costs vary according to the insurance plan coverage, and when the initial assessment is completed our dedicated staff will obtain authorizations for visits and determine any applicable co-pay and/or deductible based on your insurance coverage.

For self-pay clients, please don't hesitate to reach out to our staff for information on pricing and payment options.

Our comprehensive eating disorder treatment program cost includes key components to support your journey to recovery. This includes an initial assessment, 15 weeks of Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and an individual session with our licensed dietitian. Depending on your insurance coverage, aftercare may also be included in the program cost. During IOP, our dietitian will be co-facilitating group sessions at least once per week, providing invaluable support and guidance; however, for those individuals who wish to meet with our dietitian for additional individual sessions, this will be on a self-pay basis. Additionally, services by a medical doctor and/or psychiatrist are not included in the program costs. However, we can assist you in coordinating these services as needed. At New Directions Eating Disorders Center, we are committed to providing comprehensive, compassionate care to support you on your path to recovery. You don’t have to suffer in silence. Help is here!

Eating Disorders

Treatment Strategies

According to NEDA (National Eating Disorders Association), the most effective treatment for an eating disorder is some form of psychotherapy coupled with careful attention to medical and nutritional needs. Ideally, this treatment needs to be tailored to the individual and will vary according to both the severity of the disorder and the client’s individual problems, needs, and strengths.

In the Intensive Outpatient program provided by New Directions Eating Disorders Center, we provide small group sessions by a licensed clinician specializing in eating disorders, and we also provide the services of a nutritionist and will refer to an M.D. psychiatrist when appropriate. Counseling addresses both the eating disordered symptoms and the psychological, interpersonal, and cultural forces that contribute to the eating disorder. We offer family sessions which include significant others as well as family members, and encourage their participation in the recovery process. We also coordinate care with the family physician to ensure that the client is medically stable and can benefit from an intensive outpatient program.
