UC San Diego Health Eating Disorders Center for Treatment and Research

Treatment center

The UC San Diego Eating Health Disorders Center for Treatment and Research provides inpatient, day treatment/partial-hospitalization (PHP), and intensive outpatient (IOP) levels of care for children, adolescents, and adults struggling with food, weight, eating disorders, and related symptoms and behaviors. As a non-profit, university-based program, we are committed to providing state-of-the-art treatments based on research and new understandings of eating disorders to help people recover, prevent future relapses, and build a life worth living.

As a Center of Excellence, our clinic uses the most effective, evidence-based treatments available. In our programs, we implement DBT in a targeted way, depending on the age of the patients. Our Adult program offers comprehensive, fully adherent DBT that ensures the therapist delivers the treatment with precision and effectiveness. Our Adolescent program offers a blend of comprehensive DBT with Family Based Therapy (FBT), and include Multi-Family DBT groups so that parents can learn and reinforce the skills their children are being taught. Our Pediatric program is primarily guided by FBT and Cognitive Behavior Therapy and offers DBT skills groups.

We treat children, adolescents, and adults at our treatment facility.
