Got Mixed Feelings About Starting Treatment This Summer?
You’re not alone. The decision to start treatment comes with plenty of questions and layers to unpack. You may be wondering:
- Am I ready?
- Will treatment even work?
- How will I make time for a treatment program?
- What will other people think?
- Do I even want to heal?
No matter your question, concern or the root of your ambivalence, we’re here to help you navigate this journey so you (or your loved ones) can find real healing. Over time our hope for you is that you’ll begin to believe the truth: Recovery is possible and your future is so bright.

Unpacking Treatment -- Answers to Common Questions
The unknown can feel daunting. Uncertainty about what treatment will really be like can get in the way of determining whether it’s the right choice for you. Here are answers to the most common questions we get about our treatment programs.
-
I'm already in therapy. How do I know if I need additional support?
If you’ve been working with an outpatient provider and find yourself “circling” the same emotions and behaviors and feeling stuck without any movement forward, it may be time to seek a higher level of care and enter a treatment program. Rest assured - whatever you need - we have the right program option for you.
-
How does the admissions process work?
Our admissions process begins with a phone call about your symptoms and medical history. From there, a member of our compassionate care team will provide you with a recommendation for treatment. From your very first call, we want you to know that you are not alone in your struggle.
-
Is treatment covered by my insurance?
Our programs are covered in-network by most major commercial insurance providers. With your approval, we contact your insurance company and provide you with all the specifics you need to move forward. That way, you can focus on healing — not financial stress.
-
Can I do treatment from home?
Yes, we offer Eating Recovery and Pathlight At Home, a virtual intensive outpatient program that you can do from the comfort and convenience of home. This program is ideal for those who are looking for more flexibility and the chance to participate in local summer activities.

Help Your Clients Unpack Recovery
It’s common for patients and their families to have mixed feelings when exploring options for higher levels of care. This ambivalence is not always easy to navigate — for you or your client.
This toolkit features resources, tips, expert videos and therapeutic activities to help you support your clients and their families so they can move from ambivalence into action this summer — no matter how small the first steps.
“When providers are willing to sit in ambivalence, explore it and not push patients out of it, it can lead their clients to beautiful places of growth.”
Dr. Elizabeth Easton, Psy.D., CEDS (she/her/hers), National Director of Psychotherapy at ERC Pathlight
