Data demonstrates patient desire for virtual
treatment and power of Adaptive Care Model®
in reducing eating disorder symptoms
ST.
LOUIS, Aug. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Alsana, an eating disorder recovery community, released its
2023 Treatment Outcomes Report, revealing that 91% of clients
reported virtual treatment options provided comprehensive and
adaptive care. Alsana's ongoing Perception of Care (PoC) and
treatment outcomes survey identifies opportunities for improvement
and provides patients the chance to reflect on their care
experience. Of the clients enrolled in virtual treatment, 97% said
they "would recommend Alsana to others in need of treatment."
Furthermore, 97% of those who identify as LGBTQ+ described
Alsana as an accepting and affirming environment, while 99%
reported that their sexual and gender identity was affirmed by the
clinical team.
"Eating disorders are a festering mental health condition that
don't just affect one's physical body, but also quality of life and
mental state," said Allan Benham,
CEO of Alsana. "Our clinical team is comprised of professionals who
use the Adaptive Care Model® to approach the
body, mind and soul for holistic healing. Alsana's in-person or
virtual treatment journey utilizes the power of community and
connection to support patients every step of the way for sustained
recovery."
The 2023 Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q),
which surveyed respondents located at in-person treatment programs,
features substantial data supporting the efficacy of eating
disorder treatment, affirming care and positive treatment outcomes
and reviews. The 2023 results demonstrated significant improvement
in eating disorder symptoms (with a large effect size of .415).
This measurement quantifies eating disorder symptom changes from
admission to discharge.
Among the Treatment Outcomes Report measurements, clients saw
the most improvement in their quality of life, reporting
statistically significant improvement before and after treatment
with the largest effect size of .481. Other positive outcomes found
in the report include improvements in anxiety, depression and
trauma related symptoms, emotion regulation, and the compulsive
exercise test.
Alsana offers in-person Residential and PHP/IOP programs in
Alabama, California and Missouri as well as thriving virtual programs
