Typical treatment for children and adolescents involves active family and caregiver support, focusing on nutritional rehabilitation, skill-building, and rediscovering a sense of self beyond the eating disorder. We then build a foundation for long-term recovery and well-being. We expect to see nutritional/emotional rehab improving in the first few weeks of treatment.
