Whether you are a client struggling with an eating disorder, a clinician, medical provider, a family member or loved one of someone battling an eating disorder you have been touched by the difficulty of finding the right treatment that fits the client’s individual needs. The difficult thing about recovery from an eating disorder is that everyone has unique needs, individual life circumstances, different support systems, different access to resources and different schedules. If you have gone to treatment and it didn’t feel like the right fit or it didn’t match your needs, it can be easy to feel like there is something wrong with you or you do not have what it takes to recover.
At Sinnergy Wellness Group we believe that recovery is possible and that finding the right treatment is essential. While standard treatment programs are well intentioned, they are unable to offer services that work for every individual’s experience and can leave clients feeling like they are doing something wrong. Thankfully when you step down to a lower level of care or outpatient, there are now many more resources available to find a more realistic and sustainable recovery.
If you are struggling to find the right fit or frustrated with your recovery, you are not alone. At Sinnergy we have developed an alternative solution to the standard intensive outpatient programs (IOP) to offer options that are more flexible and individualized for clients working towards recovery and needing additional support. This alternative model is called Individualized Intensive Services (IIS).
Most standard IOP programs are dictated by insurance companies that limit client care, even with hard-working clinicians on staff. With IIS, there are no restrictions to receiving the individualized care you need. Compared to other programs we are able to offer longer sessions with registered dietitians, therapists and recovery coaches, rather than being limited to what insurance companies are willing to cover. You can build your own treatment team with the providers you truly connect with. IIS offers additional options, such as 1:1, coaching, meal support and eating disorder informed yoga. IIS also provides the option to join groups of your choosing, rather than having to sit through groups that do not feel like they adhere to your own recovery journey or struggles.
When you are able to get what you actually need from your individual treatment team, your time seeking treatment can be shortened. IIS can be more financially feasible than insurance directed treatment because you are actually getting what you are paying for from the beginning. If you receive care that directly speaks to your own life and recovery your process can be quicker and more cost effective in the long run.
IIS offers clients the autonomy that they so often want and need to find sustainable recovery from an eating disorder. Individualized care allows you to stay engaged in your life and find recovery that suits your own particular story. It allows you to get back to all of the things you enjoy in your life as quickly as possible. If any of this resonated with you, reach out to Sinnergy Wellness Group to starting working with any of our providers and building your own unique treatment plan. We would be honored to work with you!
