What is an Eating Disorder?
Eating Disorder Treatment - Compulsive Overeating / Binge Eating Disorder - Anorexia & Bulimia
What is an eating disorder, and how do you know if you or a loved one needs eating disorder treatment? A Place of Hope had provided compassionate treatment for eating disorders including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder and compulsive overeating for 25 years, and in that time we've created a unique and highly effective whole person approach to therapy for eating disorders. We believe in addressing the physical, emotional, relational, nutritional, spiritual and intellectual issues at play, because by doing so we can pinpoint the root causes of your disorder and bring balance and order to your mind, body and spirit.
Not dealing with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder or compulsive overeating will only makes these problems worse. But what if there was hope? What if through eating disorder treatment you could:
- Find compassion in a safe, confidential and supportive place
- Get “whole-person” help - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually
- Stay for a length of time best-suited to you
- Talk with people who understand there's no “snapping out of it”
- Express what you're really feeling, not what you think people want to hear
- Confront the dreams and flashbacks that won't stop haunting you
- Share your experiences through individual and group counseling
- Start planning for the future without anxiety or fear
- Reclaim a life worth living in a world where your feelings do matter
All of this is possible when you seek treatment for eating disorders at A Place of Hope.
We don't believe that you can force an eating disorder treatment on someone. Instead we believe that through an atmosphere of acceptance we can help you confront the issues that are behind your anorexia, compulsive overeating or binge eating disorder. We take the time to tailor treatment for eating disorders to the needs of you the individual, and provide a safe atmosphere where change can take place.
What is an eating disorder treatment program like at A Place of Hope? Here treatment for eating disorders is warm, welcoming, compassionate, all-encompassing and, most of all, highly effective.
