ALL Applicants:
Atlanta-based Outpatient/Intensive Outpatient/
Partial Hospitalization Program Scholarships
Currently, Manna Fund continues to receive numerous inquiries about eating disorder treatment scholarships from individuals in need of funding at the inpatient/residential levels of care. Unfortunately, because of low funding, we are unable to provide National scholarships at this time. If you are in need of inpatient or residential care, please complete the application, and we will reach out to our treatment partners to see if they can support your current treatment needs.
We are, however, currently accepting applications and providing treatment at our local IOP/PHP program in Northeast Atlanta. Those who are interested in this program should contact us at 770-495-9775.
Our PHP program consists of:
- Group Therapy, 5 days per week, 6 hours per day
- Individual therapy, once per week
- Family Therapy, once per week
- Psychiatric Evaluation and follow-up
- Nursing Evaluation and follow Up
- Dietary Assessment and follow up, weekly
Our IOP program consists of:
- Group Therapy, 4 days per week, 3 hours per day
- Individual therapy, once per week
- Family Therapy, once per week
- Psychiatric Evaluation and follow-up
- Nursing Evaluation and follow Up
- Dietary Assessment and follow up, weekly
Many of our recipients are on a percentage discount for their treatment. While we significantly discount these costs for our recipients, we do require some payment for this program. We received our CARF accreditation in December 2017 and are applying to most private insurance companies to be in-network. Stay tuned as we reach these milestones to become fully self-sustaining! Currently, we are able to utilize most private insurance benefits through single-case agreements. In a few short months, we will be applying with Medicaid in order to accept those who have state-based insurance.
National Residential/Inpatient Treatment Scholarships
The funding needs for inpatient treatment for Eating Disorder (ED) patients is not diminishing. Recent statistics show that 26 Million women and men suffer from eating disorders (Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating Disorder), and that some 500,000 teenagers (age 13-18) have some form of an eating disorder, and do not receive any form of treatment. Because many hospitals charge $1,000-$2000 per day, not including physician’s fees, we decided to be pro-active and raise money for direct payment to such hospitals, on behalf of these individuals. In our clinical practice, we know of individuals who have up to $500,000+ in medical bills, and have taken 2nd and 3rd mortgages on their homes to fund their treatment.
We will notify those who are on our Applicants for Scholarship list when we are able to open up the application for the national residential scholarship. We anticipate that after our accreditation process in 2017, we will be more able to provide scholarships for national residential treatment in 2018. If you have a potential donor, please email us: info@mannafund.org and we willl follow up with them.
