Now Sanford Comprehensive Treatment for Eating Disorders, this group of therapists and registered dieticians provide treatment in an intimate, personalized setting. They offer traditional outpatient sessions, as well as eating disorder specific Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), with Partial Hospitalization (PHP) day programs coming soon.
What’s in the works for Gail Hall and Sanford CTED?
“My biggest thrill about merging services with Sanford Behavioral Health, is looking forward to combining our expertise and resources. Because this will bring the complete continuum of care to individuals and their families struggling with eating disorders and substance use disorders,” says Gail Hall.
Eating Disorder Services

MiEDA raises awareness, increases prevention, and decreases stigma for those who suffer from eating disorders. And Gail and her talented team at Sanford CTED are busy raising the standard of eating disorder treatment in Michigan and beyond. Programs offered are:
