Farrington Specialty Centers Indianapolis treats adults and adolescents 14+ with anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), binge eating disorder (BED), avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), other specified eating disorder (OSFED), rumination, compulsive exercise, and other eating disorder and body image concerns. Farrington offers
outpatient,
intensive outpatient (IOP), and
partial hospitalization (PHP) programs. They create evidence-based, individualized, and trauma-informed treatment plans using a weight-inclusive perspective.
Farrington's PHP, which they call Neossia, operates 5 days a week, 7.5 hours per day, providing intensive care for individuals who are medically stable but require extensive treatment. It includes daily therapy and nutrition groups, semiweekly individual sessions with therapists and dietitians, weekly medical and psychiatric sessions, and experiential therapies like yoga, dance, and movement. They offer PHP as long as clients need.
Their IOP operates 3 days a week, 3 hours a day for about 6-8 weeks. Their components are daily therapy groups, weekly nutrition groups, a family day, hands-on nutrition counseling and practice, and experiential therapies.
Their regular outpatient sessions meet individually, in groups, and with families. Farrington schedules outpatient sessions with a different frequency for each client to meet the client's needs.
Additionally, they offer add-on art therapy. The art therapy meets as a group for 6 weeks. Farrington organizes the groups based on individuals' therapeutic preferences, concerns, and level of art therapy experience.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Farrington Specialty Centers Indianapolis provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
