Care levels at The Kahm Center for Eating Disorders

On care levels specifically: Care-level specifics for The Kahm Center for Eating Disorders are not well-documented in the public SAMHSA record; a direct conversation with the admissions team is the reliable way to confirm what the facility actually provides.

Insurance and payment

That document is the answer to most post-admission billing disputes.

Before you call

Before admission to The Kahm Center for Eating Disorders, three questions consistently produce the most useful information: (1) which ASAM level of care are you treating me at, and what is the clinical rationale; (2) can you send me a written Verification of Benefits for my specific insurance plan; (3) what is your policy on medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder — specifically, do you continue patients on buprenorphine or methadone during residential programming. If the clinical situation involves opioid use disorder, confirm explicitly whether The Kahm Center for Eating Disorders offers medication-assisted treatment — buprenorphine, methadone, or naltrexone. Programs that do not are operating outside the current standard of care.
