Day clinic for eating disorders

TK is intended for patients for whom traditional outpatient therapy is not sufficient, but who do not wish to be hospitalized because they do not want to or cannot leave their social environment. TK also offers an ideal transition to everyday life following inpatient treatment.

The day clinic program includes various elements, some of which overlap with those of inpatient therapy, as well as communal meals. Patients can participate for half or full days and spend the night at home.

Target group

This service is aimed at people with eating disorders for whom outpatient therapy is not sufficient but inpatient therapy is not necessary. TC also serves to improve the transition between inpatient and outpatient treatment and to stabilize and further develop the therapy goals achieved. TK often allows us to shorten the length of inpatient stays.

Program

The TC program takes place five days a week and can be adapted and put together to suit the individual situation:

• Individual therapy
• Discussion groups
• Nutritional Counseling
• Occupational therapy
• Physiotherapy
• Body therapy
• practical elements such as supervised meals, lunches out, meal planning for the home and cooking

The minimum attendance for the day clinic is two half-days per week.

The connection to everyday life is of central importance during TC. Through intensive individual support, the aim is to gradually implement what has been learned in everyday life and at home. This intensive examination should lead to changes in eating disorder-specific thoughts and behavior.
