Alsana's Virtual Programs Help College Students Recover from Eating Disorders
College life presents unique challenges, and for many students, these can trigger or exacerbate disordered eating behaviors. As noted in a recent press release, Alsana, a leader in eating disorder recovery, is offering virtual treatment programs tailored specifically to the needs of college students.
With studies showing that nearly 28% of college students suffer from eating disorders, Alsana’s virtual programs are a critical resource. These programs, which offer group and individual therapy, nutrition counseling, and peer support, are designed to help students maintain their academic schedules while receiving the care they need. By providing flexible access to professional treatment, Alsana makes it easier for students to prioritize their health without sacrificing their education.
According to Margot Rittenhouse, MS, LPCC, Director of Clinical Services at Alsana’s Westlake Village facility, "The pressures of staying on top of school is tough enough as it is. These stressors can trigger disordered eating habits, and treatment can help students improve their overall health to achieve a successful college career." The virtual format allows students to participate in therapy sessions between classes, during breaks, or whenever their schedule allows, creating an adaptable solution for their recovery journey.
This remote approach offers a broad range of therapeutic services, including individual and group therapy, nutritional guidance, and meal support. With access to care five days a week and support from peers who understand the recovery process, students are empowered to rebuild healthy habits while navigating the complexities of college life.
The flexibility of virtual treatment ensures that students can stay engaged in their recovery from their dorm rooms, apartments, or wherever they reside, providing a level of convenience that traditional treatment formats might lack.
