 Program
Philosophy
Eating Disorders are serious health problems that affect
all aspects of a person’s life. Eating disorder behavior
such as starvation, binge eating, purging and compulsive
exercising, are examples of self destructive coping skills
which often develop as a means to cope with emotional pain
and suffering. Recovery can occur with specialized professional
treatment in addition to strong, consistent support.
The Eating Disorder Treatment Program:
Treatment for patients affected by eating disorders such
as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder.
Treatment is provided for coexisting psychiatric diagnosis,
as needed.
A comprehensive program designed to treat the physical,
psychological, and nutritional aspects of eating disorders.
A structured schedule of therapies designed to assist individuals
to manage their emotional, social and behavioral symptoms.
A supportive environment created by a staff of caring and
experienced professionals who focus on the reduction of symptoms
through the development and utilization of healthy coping
strategies.
An individualized treatment plan coordinated with the patient’s
primary care physician and other outpatient treatment providers.
Free and anonymous screenings every Wednesday from 1:00
