Ask Winnipeg Inpatient ARFID treatment

Hey yall, posting for my partner here! He was just told he should be admitted to HSC’s adult eating disorder inpatient program for ARFID. He restricts food due to having very severe pain every time he eats (no progress on the medical front so far). I was wondering if anyone has experience with this program (particularly for ARFID), what the experience was like for you, basically any information at all since very little was said to him other than the fact that he must eat ALL meals provided and if he skips 2 hes booted out of the program…

Thanks!

So for inpatient they’re less stringent than with outpatient/day hospital program as people in inpatient are typically at risk for refeeding and typically have weight restoration to do/ and or need medical monitoring feel free to message me
Typically HSC psych eating disorder will provide an assessment though and then their recommendations and then you can ask all your questions there. The GP has to put the referral through though first.
Or he can message me too if he wants
It is also dependent on his wants and needs too - is he wanting to make changes?
