Eating Disorder Treatment

Our Multidisciplinary Team

• Hospitalists

  Our hospitalists, whether internal medicine or family practice doctors, oversee a patient’s care, including monitoring, evaluation, and pharmacological interventions. They also regularly consult with the rest of the treatment team to set treatment goals.

• Psychiatrists

  Our psychiatrists serve as consultants to the hospitalist to help diagnose and treat any co-occurring mental health conditions, enabling patients to fully engage in their treatment.

• Psychologists

  Each patient is assigned a primary psychologist, either a PsyD or PhD, who will meet with them in individual sessions three to four times a week for therapeutic support to help cope with the stress of hospitalization.

• Registered Dietitians

  Registered dietitians will meet with patients four or five days a week to develop meal plans that meet their specific dietary needs.

• Physical Therapists

  Our physical therapists will evaluate and assess patients throughout their treatment, helping to restore physical function and reduce pain and discomfort using various physical therapy techniques.

• Occupational Therapists

  Occupational therapists will meet with patients to identify their specific treatment goals. They work with patients where they are to enhance their ability to perform daily tasks and explore various coping strategies.

• Social Workers

  Every patient is assigned a primary social worker that will serve as a point person for family members, referring providers and other healthcare facilities. They assist with insurance approval, discharge planning and coordinating paperwork so patients can focus on their treatment.

• Other Services

  ACUTE also collaborates with speech-language pathologists, child life services, chaplain services and pet therapists based on patient needs. ACUTE also has access to specialty consultants through Denver Health. Learn more.
