Chrysalis Center offers specialized Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) for adults struggling with eating disorders or trauma. Our IOPs provide a structured, trauma-informed level of care that includes individual therapy, group support, nutrition services, and skill-building to promote lasting recovery. These programs are ideal for clients who need more support than weekly outpatient therapy can provide but do not require inpatient treatment.

 Our mission is to provide exceptional, compassionate care for our clients and to create a safe, healthy, healing environment, which will foster change and promote growth and recovery.  It is our goal to treat every client in a caring, respectful, and responsive manner. 

Chrysalis Center’s Intensive Outpatient Programs strive to offer expert level, evidence-based treatment. In both our Trauma Focused (TF) and Eating Disorder (ED) IOP, it is our goal to provide care to clients experiencing all types of eating disorders and a wide range of symptoms secondary to traumatic life experiences.  Our goal is to provide individualized care that targets every aspect of the client’s well-being in order to improve medical, nutritional, psychological, and interpersonal functioning. We seek to understand and challenge the underlying and maintaining factors of eating disorders and symptoms resulting from traumatic life experiences in order to achieve and sustain lasting recovery. It is our desire to restore hope and health to clients by empowering them to fulfill their goals, make positive changes, and prevent relapse. We believe that collaboration amongst the treatment team, clients, families, and the community will facilitate a path to successful outcomes. 

Lodging: For clients considering one of Chrysalis Center’s Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) who live outside the Wilmington area, we have partnered with Home2 Suites by Hilton to provide a comfortable and affordable place to stay during treatment.

Each of Home2’s studio suites feature a kitchenette with a refrigerator, microwave, and sink – an especially helpful feature for clients in our Eating Disorder IOP, who may need space to prepare and store meals as part of their recovery.
