Aster Springs Richmond Outpatient

Aster Springs Outpatient in Richmond offers specialized treatment for eating disorders and co-occurring conditions through a partial hospitalization program (PHP), and an intensive outpatient program (IOP) for adolescents and adults of any gender. Clients work closely with experienced and licensed staff, with personally tailored recovery plans addressing each individual's unique needs. Aster Springs can offer treatment for individuals struggling with anorexia nervosa, avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), binge eating disorder (BED), bulimia nervosa, compulsive exercise disorder, and other specified feeding or eating disorder (OSFED).

Comprehensive Approach

Clients in PHP will participate in treatment for 6 hours per day, 5 days per week, with treatment consisting of individual, group, and family therapy. Individually tailored treatment plans may also include nutrition counseling, meal support, and medical and psychiatric services. IOP consists of treatment for 3 hours per day, 3-5 days per week and offers daytime and evening programs. Patients in IOP will also participate in similar therapies as those in PHP while working toward meaningful improvements that will create a solid foundation before moving on to a more traditional, less intensive outpatient treatment.

Individualized Treatment

As part of their individualized treatment, the credentialed therapists and staff use trauma-informed and evidence-based treatment methods. Some of these therapies may include acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP), nutrition therapy, and yoga.
