Equip Transition Track
An enhanced at-home protocol for inpatient step-downs
Equip's evidence-based eating disorder treatment program empowers patients to recover at home with the support of a multidisciplinary care team. The Transition Track protocol provides high-touch support for patients discharging from inpatient care.


Eyebrow
Continuous care that adapts to your patient’s needs
While Equip's adaptable, virtual model effectively treats medically stable patients of any severity level, those discharging directly from inpatient care receive enhanced support.
Transition Track provides an at-home alternative for patients who would otherwise have qualified for traditional in-person programs. Bringing care into families’ daily routines sets them up for long-term success as they build skills and face challenges in real life.
How Transition Track works
Pre-discharge family supportSupport and resources for patients and caregivers begins prior to hospital discharge and continues all the way through relapse prevention.
Seamless transition and collaborationEquip clinicians collaborate with hospital staff on a care plan, and communicate ongoing progress updates throughout treatment.

High-touch care integrated into real lifeTreatment plans include increased therapy frequency, weekday meal supervision, and weekly dietary and medical sessions—all delivered virtually.
Enhanced caregiver coaching Caregivers are empowered to guide at-home treatment through group sessions, skill-building video curriculum, and hands-on support from a dedicated coach.

Real-life care for lasting recoveryEating disorders have high relapse rates. When patients and families are empowered to get better at home, they eliminate the abrupt transitions and “treatment bubble” effect that causes so many to cycle in and out of care.
