Do patients in the eating disorders program interact with general psychiatry patients?
Patients in the inpatient eating disorders program reside in a distinct, self-contained section of a general psychiatry unit. Other than adolescents interacting with general psychiatry patients in the school classroom, the programming for inpatients in the eating disorders program is completely separate from the programming for our general psychiatry inpatients. For adolescents in partial hospitalization, general psychiatry and eating disorders program patients are combined during much of the program day. For adults in partial hospitalization, general psychiatry and eating disorders program patients are combined in some groups but most of their programming is separate.
