I have a wife with bulimia and it was getting to the point where I couldn't take it any more. She needed bulimia treatment badly, but I didn't know where to turn. Through the internet I came across your site and sent my wife for bulimia treatment at your center.
Whoever she first spoke with made her feel so comfortable, she even became excited about the possibility of not having to binge and purge any more. The change in her is amazing. I know she will always be recovering, but I am proud to say she is the most courageous person I know. Thank you for all of your help.

I needed to find an eating disorder clinic so badly. I used to eat compulsively and had swung over completely to purging and laxatives. I felt so bad about myself, the shame and guilt was just killing me. I had been to an eating disorder clinic before, but they really did not address my mood swings, that I have since understood them to be a bipolar disorder.
Your staff kept telling me that my eating behavior was a symptom of other problems. Well even though I didn't believe them they turned out to be right. I don't use laxatives, I have even learned to exercise moderately. Thank you so much. By the way, it has been ten months since I last purged.

Well Shelly, I told you I would write when I had one year in recovery and here I am. Who would have guessed. I have so much gratitude for you taking your time and referring me to a great facility. I knew from the moment I walked in there that I was in the right place. The next time I come by it will be to visit, not as a patient. You are absolutely the greatest.

Bulimia Nervosa Treatment
Find bulimia nervosa treatment by calling our nationally recognized toll-free eating disorder helpline at 1-800-941-5313. Get the help you need to recover your health and reclaim your life. Caring professionals are standing by 24/7 to assist you and all calls are confidential.
Bulimia nervosa treatment is best sought in a residential eating disorder treatment center. The cycle of binging and purging is extremely difficult for a bulimic to discontinue without the help of a bulimia nervosa treatment center, and an outpatient setting lacks the structure and support the bulimic requires for recovery.
Most people in need of bulimia treatment also suffer from medical and emotional problems. In fact, over 80% of bulimics suffer from some form of psychiatric disorder (bipolar disorder, depression, mood disorder or obsessive-compulsive disorder) For this reason, the bulimia nervosa treatment center you choose needs an experienced staff proficient in the treatment of dual diagnosis disorders along with medical supervision and strong psychiatric services.
Choosing the Right Bulimia Nervosa Treatment Center
Finding an effective bulimia nervosa treatment center is a very important step toward your lasting recovery and it is important to consider the following factors before choosing a treatment center:
Does the bulimia treatment center provide various levels of care to meet individual treatment needs?
Does the center have adequate medical and psychiatric services?
Does the staff have adequate training and proper credentialing?
Does the center provide clinical services to address body image issues, nutrition, emotional and sexual trauma?
How does the bulimia nervosa treatment center handle the person with bulimia and a drug addiction?
Are there drug detox services at the bulimia treatment center?
Does the treatment center provide dual diagnosis services?
How does the treatment center interact with a member of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning community?
