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.

What is a Compulsive Behavior?
Compulsive behavior can best be described as an irresistible urge to perform a certain act, regardless of its rationality or consequences. Research shows that compulsive behavior affects millions of people throughout the nation. Compulsive behavior does not discriminate between gender, religion or culture. Research shows however, that women tend to seek compulsive behavior treatment more than men.
Compulsive behavior can be either physical or psychological. Some compulsive behaviors include:
Drug abuse
Alcohol abuse
Overeating or other eating disorders
Gambling
Sex
Work
Compulsive Behavior Treatment
The foundation for compulsive behavior is generally established in childhood and is progressive in nature. Once compulsive behavior treatment is sought, an individual must be "reprogrammed" to stop seeking pleasure from the addictive activity.
The most effective compulsive behavior treatment usually takes place within a residential treatment center. Inpatient treatment provides 24 hour structure and clinical care to support the patient as they discontinue their compulsive behavior.
The treatment for compulsive behavior can take on several forms with the two most prevalent being medication therapy and cognitive therapy, both within a supportive environment. Research has shown that most people with compulsive behaviors greatly benefit from the use of prescribed psychiatric medication in conjunction with psychotherapy.
