Equip Launches Transition Track to Cut Eating Disorder Readmissions
San Diego – October 07, 2026 -- Equip, a virtual eating disorder treatment provider, has launched Transition Track, a new care protocol designed to move medically stable patients ages 6 to 24 directly from inpatient hospitalization to home-based recovery without stopping at residential, PHP or IOP facilities.
Protocol targets the highest-risk window after hospital discharge
Transition Track is built on Family-Based Treatment (FBT), combining frequent therapy sessions, daily virtual meal supervision and caregiver coaching during the first weeks post-discharge, then continuing with the same multidisciplinary care team for a full 12 months. The approach aligns with guidance from the American Psychiatric Association, the Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine, and the American Academy of Pediatrics, all of which recommend family-supported outpatient care as the first-line treatment for medically stable patients.
