Inpatient Eating Disorder Treatment Center

Hospital Level Care in a Home-like Setting

Our inpatient eating disorder treatment center is the highest level of care at Selah for clients who need medical stabilization as a result of their eating disorder. Moreover, it offers 24/7 medical care, 24/7 nursing supervision, and medical management. Unlike a hospital, clients are not restricted to their beds but are free to enjoy the home and community. Through approval by the treatment team, patients participate in programming and interact with a supportive treatment community of patients and staff.

In fact, the treatment and medical team surround our clients with support to address any complications that often accompany eating disorders. This coordinated care and support help create a seamless transition from this acute level of care to a residential eating disorder treatment center.

Should emergency medical intervention become necessary, we have an on-call physician who will assess clients on an individual basis and have close relationships with local hospitals

When is Inpatient Care Needed?

For example, signs indicating inpatient care for eating disorders:

The person has been in outpatient care and has not been showing improvement.
A medical condition is present due to the disorder.
The person is self-harming.
The person cannot control restricting or purging behaviors without strong supervision.
There are trauma issues that would be too challenging to uncover and deal with in an outpatient setting.
There is a secondary diagnosis present that would benefit from intensive, focused treatment.

Inpatient Program Capabilities

Our inpatient treatment program offers robust capabilities that differ from our residential treatment program. These capabilities include:

24/7 medical care
24/7 nursing supervision
Medication management
Nasogastric (NG) Tube Feeding: For individuals facing severe malnutrition or encountering significant obstacles in ingesting sufficient nutrition orally, NG tube feeding offers a crucial support system. This method guarantees a steady and regulated supply of vital nutrients, facilitating physical stabilization and halting further decline. The addition of NG tube feeding allows for a better step-down option for clients from a hospital setting to an inpatient level of care.
