Welcome to Summit
We are a medically supervised, comprehensive treatment program in Sacramento, California, serving adults and adolescents with anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder. We offer a variety of levels of care depending on your needs. Our approach is comprehensive, compassionate, and thorough. We believe that everyone can recover, and we make it our job to see this happen.
Our patients come from throughout the United States, and for those residing outside of the greater Sacramento area, we offer free housing while they are receiving treatment.
Day Treatment Now Available for Adolescents
Summit is pleased to extend our Day Treatment Program to teens struggling with anorexia and bulimia. An alternative to residential treatment, the program provides medically-supervised, intense treatment to teens who need a higher level of care and supervision in order to make progress in their recovery. Clients receive daily medical monitoring, weekly appointments with our physician and psychiatrist, as well as individual, family, nutrition and group therapy. Supervised meals and snacks are also included. Special time and support are allotted for teens to continue their academic/independent studies. To learn more about this alternative to residential treatment, please contact our Director of Admissions, Jennifer Lombardi, MFT, at (916) 920-5276, ext. 11, or e-mail her, jennifer@sedop.org.
