Discharge Planning
From the beginning of the treatment experience at McCallum Place, we work with you and your home treatment team to begin planning for when you discharge. We believe a key part of recovery is having a solid discharge plan and this means exploring themes such as your living situation, school, work and support systems.
If you had a team prior to coming to treatment we strongly recommend returning to that team upon discharge. If you have a desire to find a new team we will discuss this with you and your current team to identify the best path forward. Throughout your treatment we will be communicating with your team to ease the transition home.
If you do not have a full team when you come to treatment we will assist you in identifying a team of eating disorder professionals who can assist you in your transition back home. We recommend that each individual should have an outpatient team that consists of:
- Medical providers (this may include both a general doctor and a psychiatrist depending on your needs)
- Therapist with eating disorder experience
- Registered dietitian with eating disorder experience
Our staff at McCallum Place will help research providers in your area who are experienced and compassionate professionals who will help you feel supported in this critical transition home.
