Referrals
DECC is currently accepting new child / adolescent and adult referrals. We request that referrals may be made by a healthcare providers. Please download and fax the DECC referral form located at the button below, or call the WVU DECC Scheduling Specialist at 304-388-1000. DECC Schedulers can assist with making appointments with psychiatrists, dietitian, and psychotherapist.
Due to provider availability, DECC may have limited ability to accommodate adult psychotherapy referrals. In part, this circumstance is because DECC is located within a training institution, and therefore clinicians are only able to accept new patients during certain rotations. Sadly, we are facing a critical shortage of available clinicians with specialized skills and knowledge for treating eating disorders.
Please note that DECC does not assist patients with attempts to lose weight. DECC does not treat food addiction. And DECC clinicians do not make recommendations for any weight loss surgery / procedure.
