STEP® - Supplemental Treatment Based in Experiential and Exposure Programming
Van Dusen Nutrition® launched its STEP® programming in September of 2020. STEP® is a highly specialized and individualized eating disorder program with the objective of filling a gap in the levels of care. Our experience has been that the progression from higher levels of care down to outpatient care is often too steep and places clients at risk of relapse. Similarly, we see clients not moving forward in outpatient care due to needing more support than outpatient alone can provide. Our STEP® programming offers a variety of levels of care beneath the PHP level of care and above the outpatient level of care, intended to offer more gradual and incremental steps throughout the continuum of care.
Our STEP® Programming includes the following levels of care:
*STEP®-IOP+ - this is our highest level of care and entails 9 hours of group programming, 30 minutes of Case Management, plus approximately 10 individual sessions per week.
*STEP®-IOP - this level of care entails 9 hours of group programming, 30 minutes of Case management, plus approximately 5 individual sessions per week.
*STEP® - this level of care entails 6 hours of group, 30 minutes of Case Management, plus approximately 4 individual sessions per week.
