The ED-180 Program Difference

ED-180 of Long Island…one of a kind!

ED-180 Eating Disorder Treatment Programs, provided by Dr. Jeffrey DeSarbo, is located in Garden City, New York. Under the direct supervision of Dr. DeSarbo, a Board Certified psychiatrist and renowned expert in eating disorder treatment, our clients will be treated by a dedicated team of physicians, therapists, nutritionists and other clinicians who recognized that there was a “missing-link” in eating disorder treatment. ED-180 programs were created to help fill the void of a shortage of effective programs for patients that needed additional services and/or a higher level of care for patients who struggle with eating disorders, self-esteem issues, mood disorders and related conditions.

Also, as indicated in the F.E.A.S.T. Family Guide to Eating Disorder Treatment, as well as the Academy of Eating Disorder’s Report, when evaluating a treatment program, it is important that a treatment program covers all of the four core components of eating disorder treatment: medical/nursing, nutritional, psychological and psychiatric care services. Along with an ED-180 designed program, we have the capability to cover all four components, on-site, at one location.

Dr. DeSarbo’s philosophy has always been to develop a program that has the following attributes:

• An environment that promotes peace and tranquility with a feeling of safety and comfort.
• A treatment approach that is comprehensive and evidence-based, using a combination of proven techniques and cutting-edge methods.
• A multi-disciplinary staff of physicians, therapists, nutritionist and support staff that can fully integrate the medical/biological, psychological, social and spiritual aspects of patient care.
• A treatment team that is caring and compassionate and dedicated to remaining up-to-date on research and all the latest treatment advances.
• Individual therapy, groups, programs, excursions and courses that make an impact, create change, and are innovative and non-traumatic.
• A group program that can also be custom tailored to the individual’s needs.
• A program that addresses the importance of having family involved in the treatment and recovery process.
• A program that is outcome-driven towards specific goals, not time-frame driven.
