Inner Haven Wellness Expands Virtual Eating Disorder Treatment with New Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Five-Day Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

MADISON, Wis., Feb. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Inner Haven Wellness, a leading eating disorder treatment provider with programs in Madison and Neenah, Wisconsin, is proud to announce the launch of a new adult virtual Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and the expansion of its adult virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) to five days a week. These additions will enhance access to high-quality, specialized eating disorder care for Wisconsinites.

Eating disorders affect nearly 30 million Americans in their lifetime, with prevalence rising across all demographics. In Wisconsin, hospitalizations for eating disorders have increased by over 50% in the last decade, yet access to specialized treatment remains limited. By expanding its virtual programs, Inner Haven Wellness is breaking down barriers to recovery, offering structured, high-quality care from the comfort of clients' homes.

Lee Neagle, MA, LPC, Co-Founder and Therapist at Inner Haven Wellness shared, "Our virtual PHP and expanded IOP allow us to provide more intensive, flexible support to adults in Wisconsin who need comprehensive eating disorder care but may not have access to in-person treatment." He continued, "By increasing the number of IOP sessions and introducing PHP, we can offer a full spectrum of virtual care that accommodates various levels of need."

The virtual PHP provides a higher level of care for individuals requiring more structured daily support. It includes five days per week of group and individual therapy, meal support, skill-building, nutritional counseling, psychiatric counseling and support, and medical supervision, all delivered by a team of licensed clinicians and doctors. This program is ideal for those who need more intensive care than IOP but want to remain at home.

"Virtual treatment is a lifeline for many individuals who might not be able to step away from work, family, or other responsibilities. We're ensuring that more people have access to the care they need without having to relocate or take extended time off," added Margherita Mascolo, MD, CEDS-S, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Medical Officer at Inner Haven Wellness. "With PHP and IOP both available online, we can provide high-quality, structured support to more individuals throughout Wisconsin, regardless of their location."

Inner Haven Wellness's virtual programs are grounded in evidence-based approaches, including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), experiential therapy, and mindful movement. At the IOP level, clients work individually with both a dietitian and an eating disorder therapist, while at the PHP level, they also receive care from a psychiatrist and nursing staff, ensuring a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to treatment.

With these expansions, Inner Haven Wellness continues to adapt to the needs of individuals struggling with eating disorders, providing accessible, flexible, and high-quality virtual treatment options.
