01
Condition assessment
At the start, we analyze physical and psycho-emotional condition, medical risks, symptom severity and the person’s ability to cope with everyday demands.
Eating disorder treatment formats
After diagnosis, the Redefine team selects the level of support according to the person’s condition, medical risks, emotional stability and the environment they are in. Treatment may take place in an inpatient, day treatment or outpatient format, and its intensity changes depending on the dynamics of recovery.
Before choosing a format
How the treatment format is selected
The eating disorder treatment format is not determined by diagnosis alone. We consider physical condition, medical risks, emotional stability, behavioral symptoms, the level of support at home and the family’s capacity to be part of the process.
Selection logic
The treatment format is determined gradually: from the initial assessment to a personal plan and a review of progress.
02
Environment assessment
It is important to understand whether there is a safe and stable environment outside the center. If support is insufficient, a more intensive treatment format may be recommended.
03
Format selection
Depending on the person’s condition, the team may recommend inpatient care, day treatment or outpatient treatment. Each level has a different intensity of support.
04
Reviewing progress
The treatment format is not fixed forever. If the condition stabilizes, support may become less intensive. If risks increase, the level of care may be strengthened.
Who may be involved in the process
The exact treatment format, duration and intensity level are determined after diagnosis and team assessment of the condition.
Psychiatrist
Assesses psycho-emotional state, risks, the need for medical monitoring and possible medication support.
Psychologist or psychotherapist
Works with anxiety, control, emotional instability, body image and behavioral patterns.
Eating behavior specialist
Helps gradually restore a safe eating routine and supports changes without pressure or shame.

Individual specialist consultations
Important conditions
Work with an individual specialist is possible only after the initial diagnostic consultation and provided that the patient has support from other necessary specialists outside the center.
A multidisciplinary team is important in eating disorder treatment: psychologist, dietitian and psychiatrist.
Separate consultations with different specialists at the center are not combined with each other and do not form an alternative to the outpatient program.
If the patient needs to work with several specialists within the center, this is done exclusively through outpatient programs that include coordinated team work.
