Cambridge Eating Disorder Center – CEDC - Addiction Treatment Services

About Cambridge Eating Disorder Center – CEDC – Concord

The Cambridge Eating Disorder Center in Concord, Massachusetts, treats more than eating disorders. They have a dual diagnosis program for mental health or behavioral issues along with an eating disorder diagnosis. They have partial hospitalization (PHP) level 1 and 2 programs as well as intensive outpatient programs (IOP). They treat children, teens, and adults.

While the main focus of programming here is disordered eating treatment, they used trauma-informed, evidence-based therapy models such as acceptance & commitment (ACT), cognitive (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivation, and emotion regulation.

They also have holistic approaches to therapy. This includes mindfulness, yoga, art and music and other expressive therapies.

Programming at CEDC allows clients to stay home and still get intensive treatment. PHPs have clients spend each day in a supportive treatment environment. Their IOP has clients attend three times a week. This allows participants to focus on treatment and healing during the day and still sleep in their own beds.

Licensed and experienced mental health and eating disorder experts help clients develop the tools to identify and deal with disordered eating, dysmorphic thinking, and negative coping mechanisms. Individuals learn how to set motivational and healthy goals and build the skills to reach them.

Insurance from most major health insurance companies is accepted, including state and federal insurance plans. There’s also a sliding scale and financial assistance available for those who can’t afford their out-of-pocket expenses due to co-pay or lack of insurance.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Partial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

Sober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
