Every person will have their own personal needs but we do understand how important it is for you to work with a team of health care professionals that you trust. While you are in treatment at our facility, whether it's for anorexia nervosa or bulimia, you will be receive a structured living environment where you will have access to clinical support constantly. Eating Disorder Center also caters to situations that involve life-threatening situations.

For most addictions and compulsive behaviors, inpatient treatment programs are the final stage of treatment. It is slightly different with eating disorders. Inpatient treatment is a first line approach for treatment. In most cases it works even better in the beginning stages. Most eating disorders do not require hospitalization, at least on a long term basis unless you are medically impaired or indicate that you may hurt yourself or others. While hospitalization is not the standard treatment, most with eating disorders may require constant supervision and extensive treatment. We are here to help you, our hands are extended, and won't you please reach out?

Finding the Right Eating Disorder Center

Only with residential treatment and in a positive and nurturing environment will you be able to thrive and meet your own expectations. While you are with us you will learn the fundamentals of living such as focusing and how to make decisions. Until now you have not had the ability to make the best decisions regarding your life but that can change with some effort, direction, and guidance. Life is very complicated and challenging and we will help you use the right tools to manage your life efficiently. Each resident will offer residents with peer support which is a very important tool used for being successful during this time. You will find a multitude of personalities in a Eating Disorder Center but each resident is committed to the same goal. You will remain in the Eating Disorder Center for as long as it takes you to get solidly grounded.

An Eating Disorder Center is also a way for you to work on the relationships between you and your friends and family. These people want you to come home healthy because they love you, but you have broken their trust. You will soon see that friends and family are very forgiving and we will show you how to heal these broken relationships while gaining back their trust. Eating disorder treatment, like bulimia treatment, is the way that you can begin laying the stepping stones for your future independence.

Getting the Help You Need

An Eating Disorder Center plays the second most important role in your treatment and recovery process. You play the star role. We have worked very hard at creating an environment that supports both your physical and mental needs. While you are in our center, you are encouraged to organize and participate in self-help meetings and other group meetings that help you to advance.

Eating Disorder living is designed to assist you in making a transition from residential treatment and allowing you to slowly move back into a daily life. Most of you are fully aware that if you were to return home to your old environments where you abused your body, like binging for example, it would be very stressful and you are not yet fully armored to fully fight off the triggers. This is what makes structured living so important because it will help you to make a smooth transition back into society while also helping you maintain your optimum health.
