Eating Recovery Center of Washington to Increase Access to Residential Eating Disorders Treatment in the Pacific NorthwestBELLEVUE, Wash. --(Business Wire)-- In an effort to increase access to residential eating disorders treatment in the Northwest, Eating Recovery Center has partnered with The Moore Center to develop a 24-hour treatment program for male and female adults and adolescents. Opening in Spring 2014, Eating Recovery Center of Washington is a 24-bed Residential program that mirrors Eating Recovery Center's Residential programs for adults and adolescents in Denver, Colorado, which were created and are overseen by internationally recognized eating disorders treatment experts Drs. Kenneth Weiner, Craig Johnson, Emmett Bishop and Ovidio Bermudez. "Eating Recovery Center's process for opening new residential eating disorders treatment centers is both thoughtful and deliberate," explains Ken Weiner, MD, FAED, CEDS, Founding Partner and Chief Executive Officer of Eating Recovery Center. "We look to identify regions that have a lack of specialized beds dedicated to the treatment of patients and families suffering from these serious, complex illnesses. It is also important that these regions have trusted local treatment programs to provide patients and families with comprehensive outpatient programming to facilitate continuity of care following discharge from the 24-hour care environment." Given this criteria, the Seattle area is an ideal location for Eating Recovery Center's newest Residential program in light of the Pacific Northwest's scarcity of residential eating disorder treatment options. Eating Recovery Center of Washington is located on the Overlake Hospital Medical Center campus in Bellevue, WA, in a new, state-of-the art building. The treatment center's location on a hospital campus with more than 1,000 physicians supports seamless transition to acute care if additional medical intervention is necessary. The Overlake Hospital Medical Center is just two miles from The Moore Center, a partner program of Eating Recovery Center since July 2012 and a provider of specialized outpatient eating disorders treatment for patients and families in the region since 1991. This close proximity enables The Moore Center's medical and clinical leadership to collaborate with Eating Recovery Center's experts to ensure effective delivery of evidence-based treatment philosophies, processes and interventions in a 24-hour treatment environment. Additionally, The Moore Center's Partia Hospitalization Programs for adults and adolescents offer a step-down level of care for patients discharging from the Residential program at Eating Recovery Center of Washington. These programs offer 11 hours of treatment 7 days per week, as well as opportunities to practice recovery outside of the controlled treatment environment during evenings at home or in peer- or family-supported apartment communities near the Bellevue treatment center. By offering a full day of programming every day of the week, The Moore Center's PHP supports patients through all meals and snacks and provides ample structure and containment to maintain the symptom interruption and/or weight restoration achieved in the 24-hour treatment environment. "Emphasis on continuity of care between Residential and Partial Hospitalization levels of care is critical for sustainability of eating disorder recovery," continues Dr. Weiner. "Upon discharge from Eating Recovery Center of Washington, patients and families alike will benefit greatly from the consistency of treatment philosophies and therapeutic interventions used by The Moore Center, as well as their extensive clinical and medical expertise in the treatment of eating disorders." Eating Recovery Center of Washington's Residential program offers:
