Eating Disorder Recovery Center
An eating disorder recovery center is similar to a rehabilitation facility, but the focus of the center is on improving eating habits to improve personal health. The center provides eating disorder sufferers with the means to break free of the disorder and live a healthy lifestyle. Our facility offers treatment for a wide range of eating disorders including anorexia, bulimia, binge-eating and compulsive-eating.
Danger of Eating Disorders:
Eating disorders are statistically a danger to the individual with a problem. Of the individuals who develop an eating disorder, between 10 and 25 percent will end up dying. From those who die, 2 to 5 percent commit suicide.
Beyond the death rates, many who suffer from eating disorders also suffer from serious health conditions. All eating disorders are potentially dangerous to health. Conditions that might occur as a result of an eating disorder include malnutrition, dehydration, electrolyte imbalances and hyponatremia, or too little salt in the body.
Underlying Causes:
As any eating disorder recovery center is aware, treating an eating disorder requires more than focusing on food. It requires finding the underlying cause of the disorder and working on dealing with the emotional pain associated with the eating challenges.
The emotional situations that might cause the disorder or the attitude toward weight is as important to recovery as improving the behaviors where food is concerned.
Treatment:
Our eating disorder recovery center focuses treatment on the needs of the patient. We are able to offer out-patient treatment options as well as in-patient options for those with more serious or life-threatening conditions.
Both the out-patient and in-patient treatment provides group therapy to help our patients. Group therapy provides patients with support and understanding from other patients who are suffering from a similar complicated situation.
We also offer one on one counseling therapy to help individuals work through their personal needs and start recovering. Our counseling and group therapy treatment is designed to help patients reach for success and recover from harmful eating disorders.
