Eating Disorder Recovery and Treatment

Residential eating disorder treatment, in most cases, proves to be the pivotal point in one beginning their eating disorder recovery. We know that most people try to discontinue their disordered eating behaviors on their own with little success and may then transition to outpatient therapy with the same results, This is because both of these choices lack the support, structure and comprehensive clinical and medical care most people with eating disorders require. This is not to insinuate that outpatient care cannot assist individuals with eating disorders at all. In our experience we have found that outpatient eating disorder treatment is generally helpful for people in the early stages of their eating disorder. For people who have been suffering from eating disorders for a long time, residential treatment has proven to be most effective.  

Eating disorder treatment in a residential setting provides the patient with:

• 24 hour nursing and clinical support
• Nutritional and dietary guidance
• Medical and psychiatric care
• Medication management
• Relapse prevention
• Aftercare planning.

In addition to these services, patients will also have access to:

• Experiential therapy
• Sexual abuse and trauma groups
• Groups dealing with sexual orientation
• Dual diagnosis treatment

Being able to address one's core issues, knowing there is constant support to help you through the fear and pain is crucial to one's eating disorder recovery.

After treatment is completed, an aftercare plan will be designed for each patient to bolster their continued eating disorder recovery. Each patient will be referred to a therapist for outpatient counseling, and a psychiatrist for medication management. They will also be encouraged to attend eating disorder support groups. These support groups are designed to help each person form a network of people who are also recovering from eating disorders to assist them in their continued eating disorder recovery.
