The inpatient program is subject to a waiting list but decisions to enter into the voluntary inpatient program are discussed at sessional visits with your health professional.

For the face to face high intensity program we recommend twelve face to face weekly therapy sessions however, we have found that some people show significant improvement or full recovery within four to five sessions. The number of sessions varies from person to person.
