What is Eating Disorder Aftercare?

Aftercare is the ongoing support you receive after completing a higher level of eating disorder treatment, such as residential, PHP, or IOP. It helps you maintain progress, prevent relapse, and continue building healthy coping skills as you transition back into everyday life.

Why is Aftercare Important for Eating Disorder Recovery?

Eating disorders are complex and often long-term conditions, which means recovery does not end when structured treatment does. Aftercare provides continued guidance, accountability, and emotional support during the vulnerable transition back to school, work, and daily routines.

Ongoing Support After Eating Disorder Treatment in Dallas

We meticulously schedule your follow-up appointments and connect you with resources to make your transition as seamless as possible. If you are from out of state, our dedicated outreach team will assist in identifying the right resources in your local area. In Texas, we offer partial hospitalization (PHP) and an intensive outpatient program (IOP), as well as a virtual IOP for those who prefer to continue eating disorder therapy online.

Our empathetic approach is crafted with your prosperity at the forefront, aiming to facilitate a seamless transition from our care to your ongoing support system. We are dedicated to walking alongside you every step of the way, ensuring that you feel supported and provided with the necessary tools and resources to thrive beyond our program. Your continued recovery and overall well-being are of utmost importance to us, and we remain committed to providing unwavering support throughout your journey.

We deeply admire the courage it takes to embark on the path to recovery and fully engage in the experience. Your decision to prioritize your health and well-being is commendable, and you should take pride in this courageous step forward. As you navigate through the challenges and triumphs of your recovery journey, know that we stand by you, offering our empathy, expertise, and encouragement to help you reach your goals and lead a fulfilling life beyond our program.

What is Aftercare at Eating Disorder Solutions?

We understand the critical role that aftercare plays in supporting your recovery journey. That’s why we make sure you have access to a multidisciplinary team that includes professionals like dietitians, therapists, and psychiatrists to address various aspects of your well-being. Whether you need guidance on nutritional strategies, therapeutic support to navigate underlying emotions, or medication management for any mental health concerns, our team is here to provide comprehensive care tailored to your individual needs.

From the moment you’re admitted to residential eating disorder treatment, we initiate planning for your discharge. This is not to rush your recovery journey; but to enhance it. We prioritize understanding your future needs and identifying the essential resources to support you throughout your recovery journey.

Moreover, we recognize the importance of maintaining continuity of care. That’s why we collaborate closely with you to ensure a seamless transition for ongoing support. By coordinating the best choices for lower levels of care, such as PHP or IOP, we aim to bridge the gap between our specialized care and your broader healthcare needs, ensuring that you have a strong foundation of support even after you complete residential treatment. Our ultimate aim is to equip you with the resources and tools necessary to sustain your journey towards recovery, extending far beyond your time in our care.

Why is Aftercare Important in Eating Disorder Recovery?

Having a robust aftercare plan is not just a formality, it’s a crucial part of your recovery journey:

It ensures continuity of care, which is essential for maintaining the progress you’ve made during your time with us. Without consistent support, there is a higher risk of relapse or setbacks in your recovery. An effective aftercare plan helps bridge the gap between structured treatment and independent living, providing you with the resources and guidance needed to navigate potential challenges.
Aftercare reinforces the coping strategies and skills you have developed during treatment. It offers ongoing support and accountability, which are vital for long-term recovery. Regular follow-up appointments and therapy sessions allow you to address any emerging issues promptly, preventing them from escalating.

Who Is This Aftercare Program For?

Our aftercare program is designed for individuals who have completed a higher level of eating disorder treatment and need continued structure, accountability, and support as they transition back into daily life. It’s a strong fit for clients stepping down from residential or partial hospitalization who are medically stable and ready to practice recovery skills in real-world settings.

This program works well for those who benefit from ongoing therapeutic guidance, nutrition support, and relapse prevention while rebuilding independence at home, school, or work. Aftercare may not be appropriate for individuals who require intensive medical monitoring, inpatient stabilization, or who are actively engaging in behaviors that require a higher level of care. Our admissions team helps ensure the level of support matches each person’s current needs.

Specialized Programs

We understand that different ages and situations require different approaches. Our specialized programs are tailored to meet specific needs.

What Does a Typical Week in Aftercare Look Like?

Aftercare follows a structured but flexible weekly schedule that supports consistency without overwhelming clients. Treatment typically includes a combination of group therapy, individual therapy, and nutrition support, depending on the level of care and individual treatment plan.

Clients focus on skill-building, emotional regulation, meal support strategies, and applying recovery tools to everyday situations. Family involvement may also be incorporated when clinically appropriate. The goal is to provide enough structure to support recovery while allowing clients to practice independence, responsibility, and self-trust in real-life environments.

How Do Clients Transition Into Aftercare From Higher Levels of Care?

Transitioning into aftercare is a planned, collaborative process designed to prevent gaps in support. Clients typically step down into aftercare after completing residential or partial hospitalization treatment, once clinical and medical stability has been established.

Our team coordinates care across levels to ensure continuity, shared goals, and a smooth adjustment to increased independence. As clients move into aftercare, the intensity of treatment gradually decreases while accountability and skill application increase. This step-down approach helps clients maintain progress, build confidence, and reduce the risk of relapse during a critical phase of recovery.
