Residential Eating Disorder Treatment for Athletes Application

Specialized Residential Treatment for Athletes with Eating Disorders

Athletes face unique pressures that can contribute to disordered eating—performance expectations, weight requirements, body composition goals, and the intense scrutiny that comes with competitive sport. Our residential eating disorder treatment program is designed specifically for athletes who need comprehensive support to heal their relationship with food, movement, and their bodies while planning a healthy return to sport.

Why Choose Athlete-Centered Eating Disorder Treatment?

Traditional eating disorder programs often don't address the complex intersection of athletic identity, performance culture, and recovery. Our residential program integrates evidence-based eating disorder treatment with sports psychology, body image work, and individualized return-to-sport planning to support your complete recovery—both as a person and as an athlete.

This application form helps our clinical team understand your unique story, athletic background, treatment needs, and goals so we can create a personalized treatment plan that honors your identity as an athlete while prioritizing your health and wellbeing.

What Our Program Offers

Specialized Sports Psychology Support: Work with clinicians who understand athletic culture, performance anxiety, coaching relationships, and the psychological challenges of stepping away from—and eventually returning to—your sport.

Body Image Therapy: Address the specific body image challenges athletes face, from uniform anxiety to comparison with teammates, weight-class pressures, and the disconnect between performance metrics and health.

Medical & Nutritional Care: Receive comprehensive medical monitoring and work with registered dietitians who specialize in both eating disorder recovery and sports nutrition to rebuild a healthy relationship with fueling your body.

Return-to-Sport Planning: Collaborate with our team to create a gradual, safe return-to-sport plan that protects your recovery while helping you reconnect with the joy of movement and competition when you're ready.

Peer Support: Connect with other athletes in recovery who understand the unique challenges of balancing competitive goals with health and wellbeing.

Who This Program Serves

Our residential program supports athletes across all levels—from youth and collegiate athletes to professionals and former competitors—dealing with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, orthorexia, relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-S), and other eating disorders. Whether you're currently competing, taking time away from sport, or navigating retirement, our program can support your recovery journey.

Paperform: The Right Tool for Sensitive Healthcare Applications

Healthcare providers and treatment centers trust Paperform for collecting sensitive intake information because the platform offers professional design, conditional logic that creates a supportive user experience, and robust security features. While Paperform itself is SOC 2 Type II compliant and handles data securely, organizations can implement additional HIPAA-compliant workflows using integrations and secure data storage solutions.

For treatment centers managing multiple referral sources and intake pathways, Stepper (stepper.io) can automate the journey from application to admission—routing urgent cases to clinical review, sending personalized follow-up communications based on readiness, coordinating insurance verification, and ensuring no applicant falls through the cracks during this critical moment.

Treatment centers, mental health practices, and wellness providers across the healthcare spectrum use Paperform to create intake experiences that feel warm and human rather than clinical and intimidating. When someone is taking the courageous step to seek treatment, the application itself should honor that bravery—and that's exactly what Paperform enables you to create.
