What This Page Is For
Our Outpatient Eating Disorder Support, and What It Is Not
Our outpatient eating disorder support is therapy for the eating and for whatever is driving it. Olympic Behavioral Health provides it at three levels in Lantana, Florida, for adults aged 18 to 65.
Disordered eating and body image worries usually show up long before anybody reaches for the words eating disorder.
What this is not is a hospital. There is no medical monitoring here, and an active eating disorder goes to a higher level of care first.
Nutritional counseling and family therapy both run on site for eating disorder support, and the plan decides who gets the one-to-one version of each.
What to Say, and What to Say Instead
Both Sides of ItAlmost everything that comes naturally here lands sideways, and that is not a failure of caring on anybody's part. Say which side of it you are on, then pick whichever phrase is closest.
I'm worried about you
Detail appears here.
What they tend to hear

Try this instead
Appears here.
If you have said several of these, so has everyone, and if you have heard them all, that is worth saying out loud too. They are the natural things to say, which is exactly why they are worth replacing. None of this is instinct and none of it is scored here. It is roughly what the first family session covers on the outpatient track at Lantana, and if somebody is in crisis, call or text 988.
When to Get Help
When a Friend or Partner Needs More Than Reassurance
The signs that matter are the ones that have started organizing somebody’s week around the eating. Olympic Behavioral Health admits adults after a phone assessment, and a friend, a partner or a relative can make that call instead of the person themselves.
Nobody has to be certain the eating is a disorder before calling. Callers describe five patterns:
- ✓Meals arranged around who else will be there
- ✓Eating that speeds up in private and stops in company
- ✓Exercise that cannot be skipped
- ✓Drinking that has grown around the same hours
- ✓A mood for the day set by what the mirror said
Ask Before You Are Sure
Admissions can say whether the eating is something the program helps with. The call costs nothing and takes about 30 minutes.
What to Expect
Weekly Sessions and Daily Groups for Disordered Eating
Every level of eating disorder support carries weekly individual therapy of 50 minutes to 1 hour plus daily groups. Olympic Behavioral Health assigns each client a primary therapist at admission who holds the case through every change of level.
The eating is not worked on by itself, because it almost never arrives by itself. Trauma-informed care works on both at once, and the plan may route into trauma treatment or the dual diagnosis track from there. Olympic Behavioral Health writes the eating into the plan alongside what is driving it.
- ✓Screening at intake for anxiety, PTSD, depression and substance use
- ✓Daily groups on the mental health track, separate from the substance abuse groups
- ✓Medication reviewed on site by a certified family nurse practitioner, with psychiatrist referrals available
Levels of Care
Which of Olympic Behavioral Health's Three Levels Fits
Olympic Behavioral Health places each client at the lightest of three levels that will hold the eating, and average stay at the two intensive levels runs 30 to 45 days.
| Level of Care | Hours per Week | Schedule | Clinical Content | Admission Profile |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PHP, Partial Hospitalization | 30+ hours | Seven days. Weekdays 9 AM to 3:30 PM, weekends 10 AM to 1 PM | Daily groups, individual sessions, psychiatric review, family therapy | A history of an eating disorder, with the anxiety or trauma acute |
| IOP, Intensive Outpatient | 9 to 12 hours | Monday to Saturday, 9 AM to 12 PM | Morning groups, weekly individual therapy, medication management | Working, and stepping down from a higher level |
| OP, Outpatient Eating Disorder Support | 4 hours | One 3-hour group each week | Group work, coping skills, relapse prevention | Steady with the eating, and holding the gains |
Some referrals are better made than taken. Olympic Behavioral Health works with a history of an eating disorder and refers an active one out. That is said on the first call rather than after an assessment.
Find Out If This Is the Right Service
One call settles whether Olympic Behavioral Health fits the eating or whether a different level of care does. Same-day admission is available when criteria are met.
Evidence-Based Therapies
CBT, DBT and Trauma-Informed Care for Disordered Eating
Olympic Behavioral Health sets the order of these six therapies with each client at intake, and the order matters more than which ones appear.
Family Therapy
Family sessions cover what to say and what to stop saying, because the household is where the eating is watched.
Group Therapy
Group runs daily on the mental health track. Hearing the eating described accurately by somebody else does what explaining it does not.
Individual Therapy
Weekly one-to-one sessions with the Olympic Behavioral Health therapist who carries the eating on the plan through every level change.
DBT Skills Training
Distress tolerance and emotion regulation, for the hours when the urge to restrict or binge arrives faster than any insight does.
Nutritional Counseling
Weekly nutritional groups led by the nutritionist run for every client, and one-to-one nutritionist sessions are added where the plan indicates them. Nutritional screening runs for everyone with an eating disorder history.
No medication is named here, because prescribing follows the psychiatric evaluation rather than the diagnosis label.
Conditions Treated
What Else Olympic Behavioral Health Works On With the Eating
Eating is rarely the only issue at play. Olympic Behavioral Health identifies the underlying conditions associated with eating behaviors during the intake process, rather than focusing solely on the eating itself. Below, we discuss four of these conditions.
Binge Eating
Binge eating is the presentation outpatient support is best placed to hold, because it rarely needs the medical monitoring this program does not provide.
Anxiety Treatment
Where the eating is what makes a day survivable, the anxiety underneath it is treated at the same time rather than afterwards.
Depression Treatment
Where low mood came first and the eating followed it, the plan treats the depression as the primary problem.
Trauma Treatment
Trauma-informed care applies where the eating started as a way of managing a trauma.
Where drinking or using is running alongside the eating, Olympic Behavioral Health carries both together on the dual diagnosis track. The program treats adults only.
Insurance and Cost
What Eating Disorder Support Costs in Florida
Eating disorder support bills as an outpatient behavioral health benefit. Olympic Behavioral Health is in-network with TRICARE, works with PPO plans on out-of-network benefits, and confirms the cost before admission rather than after the first week.
Coverage follows the level of care rather than the diagnosis label, so the benefit check is worth doing before anybody settles on a level. Olympic Behavioral Health accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, UMR, GEHA, Humana and Anthem on out-of-network PPO benefits.
INSURANCES WE ACCEPTTRICARE is the only in-network plan. Every other payer named is accepted on out-of-network PPO benefits. Olympic Behavioral Health does not accept Medicaid or Medicare.
Eating Disorder Insurance Verification
There is no cost, and your information stays confidential. The Olympic Behavioral Health admissions team answers Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM.

Why Olympic Behavioral Health
Why We Say No to Some Referrals
A program that admits every eating referral helps nobody. Olympic Behavioral Health takes the presentations it can hold and refers an active eating disorder to a higher level of care.
Told Plainly on the First Call
Where Olympic Behavioral Health is not the right service for the eating, admissions says so before an assessment is booked rather than after.
Named on the Treatment Plan
The eating is written down rather than folded into the anxiety, so nobody explains the eating again at each level change.
A Prescriber in the Building
Psychiatric medication management is provided in-house, and psychiatrist referrals are available.
Screened for Anxiety and Trauma
Intake checks for trauma, anxiety, depression and substance use, because the eating on its own is rarely the whole picture.
One Therapist Through the Step Down
The primary therapist assigned at intake stays as hours reduce, so nobody explains the eating twice.
Family Therapy on Site
Family therapy runs on site weekly as needed, and can include couples sessions or sessions with children.
Admissions
Who Can Make the First Call to Olympic Behavioral Health
Anyone close to the person can make the first call about the eating, and so can the person themselves. Olympic Behavioral Health's clinical director approves each admission, so the decision is a clinical one.
1
Call or Submit the Form
Olympic Behavioral Health admissions staff ask what has changed about the eating and over what period. A friend or a relative can make the inquiry instead.
2
Benefits Checked at No Charge
An Olympic Behavioral Health benefit check returns the payable amount at all three levels of eating disorder support. The check obligates nobody.
3
Phone Assessment
Olympic Behavioral Health records what the eating looks like now, plus mood, sleep, drinking and daily function by phone. That call settles which level fits.
4
Intake and Screening
Paperwork first, then screening for anxiety, trauma, depression and substance use. Olympic Behavioral Health assigns a case manager and a primary therapist that day.
Start Today
Same-day admission available, subject to criteria.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to Help Someone With an Eating Disorder, and What People Ask
Helping someone with an eating disorder starts with the words you choose. Seven questions follow, on what Olympic Behavioral Health holds, what it refers out, and what it costs.
How do you help someone with an eating disorder?
Say something, stay available, and leave the body out of it. Name what you have noticed rather than how they look, and make the offer specific. Olympic Behavioral Health covers this in family sessions because instinct usually points the wrong way here.
How do you help a friend with an eating disorder?
Knowing how to help a friend with an eating disorder differs from helping a relative, because meals are not shared and the history is shorter. Keep inviting them to things that are not about food, and do not make the friendship conditional on them getting help.
Do I need help for disordered eating, or can I manage alone?
A call is worth making once eating has started to organize the day, and nothing more certain than that is needed. Nobody has to be waiting for permission, or for it to get bad enough. There is no threshold to cross first.
Who fits outpatient eating disorder support?
Adults with a history of an eating disorder fit outpatient support. An active eating disorder needs a higher level of care, and Olympic Behavioral Health says which on the first call.
What is trauma-informed eating disorder support?
Trauma-informed eating disorder support treats the eating as something that started for a reason rather than a behavior to be corrected. Where trauma is driving the eating, that work runs alongside rather than afterwards, because pushing on the eating alone tends to make the rest louder.
Do I need a diagnosis before I call?
No. A diagnosis is not needed to call Olympic Behavioral Health in Lantana, and the caller does not have to be the person concerned. The phone assessment takes about thirty minutes and costs nothing, and the clinical assessment at intake establishes whether this program is the right fit.
Where in Lantana, Florida is eating disorder support provided?
Eating disorder support runs at one address, 3618 Lantana Road, Suite 200, Lantana, FL 33462. Exit 61 on I-95 reaches the building, and all three levels of care run there.

Olympic saved my life. I didn’t know who Emma was when I got there and forget thinking I could ever love her, but after 3 months… I know Emma and I love her. Shoutout to all the staff, techs, my therapist Stephanie, SuSu, Bronson, Dom, Kim, Andi, Lee, Kyle, Gina, Jackie and everyone else that played part in me getting back to where I need to be, with my babies. I’ll never forget my time there. 🩷

Truly changed my life. Came from residential program feeling ready to return home but decided to step to Olympic before I made the journey home. Best decision I ever made. It truly strengthened everything I learned and provides an opportunity to put it into practice. If you come with the right mindset and attitude you will truly be grateful. Love all the staff and alumni the support is truly out of this world. Love you and miss you guys!

Olympic saved my life! When I first got there, I was absolutely against it, but Meg and her crew did some things different for me and made the place to fit me so that I would stay. They made me feel welcome and comfortable Which is hard to do! But it’s been amazing success that we had is truly unprecedented. They’re friendly and they know what they’re doing. God bless them!
