Comprehensive Care Program (CCP)

The Comprehensive Care Program (CCP) is a 15-bed inpatient unit located at El Camino Hospital. The program uses a multidisciplinary approach to treating eating disorders and is part of Lucile Packard Children's Hospital's Comprehensive Eating Disorders Program. Patients admitted to this unit are adolescents who are medically compromised as a result of their eating disorder. Admission is designed to:

• Treat medical disorders resulting from abnormal eating that may affect a patient’s heart, bones, liver, kidney, brain, reproductive system, or other organs
• Prevent long-term and life-threatening complications
• Evaluate and treat psychiatric disorders that often accompany eating disorders, such as:
  - Depression
  - Obsessive-compulsive disorder
  - Anxiety

• Diagnostic evaluation (both medical and psychiatric)
• Medical management to prevent or detect complications
• Nutritional assessment and management
• Growth and development evaluation
• Assessment and management of osteopenia and osteoporosis
• Psychiatric medication evaluation and monitoring
• Individual therapy (including cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and family-based therapy)
• Coordination with the patient’s school
• Group and environment (milieu) treatment
