Cumberland Hospital’s Inpatient Eating Disorder program, RISE (Renewing Identity, Self-Confidence, and Empowerment) for children and adolescents is located in New Kent, VA. The program consists of sixteen beds with three beds being used for those patients who are non-compliant with NG tube feeding. Patient ages range from 6 through 17 with case-by-case review for ages 2 to 5 and 18 to 22. RISE can help with a range of issues that can result from an eating disorder. We treat a variety of diagnoses including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) and other specified feeding or eating disorders (OSFED). Patients work through phases that help them practice varying degrees of responsibility and autonomy over their meals and activity. This allows for more predictability, provides clear expectations for advancement and fosters camaraderie with others on similar paths. Individualized interventions are considered by the treatment team if needed.
