treatment tiers

exceptional treatment at every level of care

For someone struggling with an eating disorder, depression, anxiety, trauma, or other mental health conditions, finding a sense of belonging, forming connections, discovering purpose in life, and having day-to-day support are crucial for achieving better outcomes, long-term health, and overall well-being.

Our individualized nature of our programming allows us to accommodate clients with a wide range of needs and presentations. Whether you are dealing with new mental health challenges or have been struggling for a longer period, we are prepared to adapt to your unique circumstances and create a treatment plan that will help you achieve your goals.

At Galen Hope, we offer four treatment tiers (levels of care) of mental health treatment for both adults and adolescents, including Intensive Outpatient Programming (IOP), Partial Hospitalization Programming (PHP), and a unique 12-hour/day, 7-day/week program, all of which offer community integration options. Some of our clients are entering treatment for the first time, while others are transitioning from inpatient or residential treatment and want to be sure that they are taking the next steps with intention.  

The intimate size of our program enables us to work with each individual that comes through our door by developing a treatment plan that addresses the nuance of their diagnoses and symptoms. We recognize that not everyone’s symptoms or experiences will neatly fit into set diagnostic categories, and many people are dealing with more than one issue.

The clinical team at Galen Hope is here to listen, and learn, so we can fully understand each person’s challenges and needs. This enables us to think creatively and offer therapeutic opportunities that are best suited for each client’s unique circumstances, preferences, and goals. Contact our Coral Gables or Delray Beach location today to speak with an expert about your care.

Clients receive high-frequency individual therapy, sessions with our psychiatrist and registered dietitian, and medication management as needed.

dual diagnoses and complex clinical presentations

Galen Hope specializes in treating individuals with complex psychiatric disorders, including primary mental health, primary eating disorder, and dual diagnoses. It’s common for certain mental health disorders to go hand-in-hand with other conditions.  

Researchers are still working to determine which genetic or biological underpinnings are shared across various conditions. Our expertise in a broad range of diagnoses allows us to get to the heart of an individual’s struggles and find the eating disorder and/or mental health treatment solutions that support long-term emotional and psychological wellness. By treating all of the conditions that an individual is facing, our clients can truly begin to heal, and leave treatment ready to experience a life that’s productive, fulfilling, and joyful.
