About The Kahm Center for Eating Disorders

Located in the riverside of Burlington, Vermont, The Kahm Center for Eating Disorders is a family-run outpatient treatment facility specializing in eating disorder recovery. Founded by a mother-and-son team, the center offers personalized care that blends medical and psychological expertise. By integrating metabolic testing and rejecting outdated weight-focused models, it challenges stigma and enhances patient outcomes.

IOP typically involves 3-hour sessions, three days a week, while day treatment consists of 5-hour sessions, five days a week. These programs incorporate individual therapy, group therapy, nutritional counseling, and supported meals to promote sustainable recovery.
The Kahm Center serves individuals aged 16 and older, offering gender-inclusive treatment. As an outpatient facility, it allows patients to maintain their daily routines while receiving structured support. The center also provides step-down programs, alumni groups, and ongoing outpatient care to help patients sustain their recovery long-term.

Is treatment confidential?
Yes. Federal law (42 CFR Part 2) provides strict confidentiality protections for substance use treatment records — stricter than HIPAA. Records cannot be disclosed without written consent, even to family, employers, or law enforcement.
What happens when you call? (general intake process)

Most treatment centers follow a 4-step intake: (1) confidential assessment — substance history, mental health, insurance, preferences (protected by 42 CFR Part 2); (2) insurance verification — facility contacts your plan to confirm coverage and out-of-pocket costs; (3) level-of-care recommendation — clinical staff match you to detox, residential, PHP, IOP, or outpatient based on severity; (4) admission typically within 24–48 hours. Timing varies by facility and bed availability.
