If you are considering EDCC as a treatment option for your client's eating or exercise disorder, the following are some important things for you to know:
When you have a client you think might need our service, call our central office at (310) 457-9958 to give us information about the client, and to get any of your questions answered.
You can give your client our contact information and suggest they call us to have their questions answered and to set up the time and date for a phone interview. (We can also arrange for them to have a tour at the facility or speak to an EDCC alumni.)
We want your involvement with any client who comes to us. We believe that a smooth transition and a good follow-up plan after treatment is an essential part of client success. From the very beginning of a client's treatment at the EDCC, we will consult with you about your knowledge of the client and your hopes in referring them to treatment. Then, throughout the process the client's primary therapist will consult with you about ongoing issues. If you are available, we encourage you to attend our Tuesday staff meeting to hear the entire staff's assessment of the client's progress.
If possible, we like to encourage a client to continue to see their outside therapist while they are in treatment. This provides time for the client to discuss issues they are dealing with and encourages ongoing connection. When a client steps down to our three day a week program we believe it is essential that they see their outside therapist and, if possible, attend any groups they plan to attend after treatment. During the step-down phase of treatment clients are expected to experiment with challenging situations and demonstrate their ability to utilize the support network they will continue with after treatment.
The bottom line is we value the input of referring therapists and all past treatment professionals who are or have been involved in the person's recovery process.
We believe that a smooth transition and a good follow-up plan after treatment is an essential part of client success.
