The longer a patient stays in a structured eating disorder treatment setting, the better the chance they will have long-term abstinence from their disease. With this correlation in mind, The Victorian introduces their “Sober Living Environment” that allows patients to gradually “step down” to a less strictly monitored, but still very supportive environment from their much more highly intensive residential program.
