It can be done: outpatient, but I would wonder why you would not want to try more intensive outpatient psychotherapy. There are Intensive Outpatient Therapy Programs, where they can help you start to have healthier eating habits and get to the core of what has led to the eating disorder. Consult with a hospital that has both in and out patient treatment options. They will help you decide.
