Eating Disorder Services
of Rogers Memorial Hospital
Rogers Memorial Hospital is nationally recognized for its comprehensive, effective treatment of eating disorders.
Board-certified adult psychiatrist Theodore E. Weltzin, MD, leads a team of more than 80 professionals specializing in the treatment of eating disorders.
We offer specialized treatment programs for children and teens, men and women, and adults with co-occurring anxiety disorders.
Prior to admission, prospective patients complete a free screening that is reviewed by the program’s medical director to determine what level of care will meet the needs of each individual.
Three levels of care, inpatient, residential and partial hospitalization, are available for individuals struggling with:
- Anorexia nervosa
- Bulimia nervosa
- Binge eating disorder
- Eating disorder not otherwise specified (NOS).
Our first priority for patients is medical and nutritional stabilization, followed by identifying and changing errors in thinking as well as addressing any obstacles to recovery.
We invite patients, families and referring treatment team members to contribute to developing the individual’s treatment plan. Family members and friends are also encouraged to participate in our monthly family and friends program.
