TESTIMONIALS

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.

-- Preston V., Nashua, New Hampshire

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.

-- Bonnie S., Boston, Massachusetts

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.

Compulsive Overeating Treatment

Effective Compulsive Overeating Treatment

For a very long time doctors and nutritionists alike believed that the best treatment for compulsive overeating was dieting. But it seems the only truth behind dieting is that it can be expensive and ineffective. Some people may experience a significant amount of weight loss through dieting initially, but most seem to gain it right back. This cycle of quickly losing weight and gaining it right back creates a sense of depression and shame in many people. Today, health professionals have discovered new compulsive overeating treatment methods that have proven to be much more successful than the typical diet.

For help in finding compulsive overeating treatment call 1-800-941-5313. Our friendly staff can be reached 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. All calls are strictly confidential.

Compulsive overeating is classified as an addiction to food where the individual uses food to cope with feelings such as anger, anxiety or stress. An addiction to food is no different than a drug addiction where the individual will binge to cope with painful emotions, become depressed over the binging and then binge to cope with the depression. Fortunately, there are residential compulsive overeating treatment programs available that provide the individual with structure, accountability and support around their meals along with a variety of clinical tools to prevent relapse. Some of the services provided in a residential compulsive overeating treatment program include:

  • Individual psychotherapy
  • Group psychotherapy
  • Nutritional counseling
  • Body image class
  • Dual diagnosis treatment
  • Family recovery program
  • Relapse prevention program
  • Aftercare

Patients in compulsive overeating treatment programs work on developing their self-esteem, self worth and confidence needed to lose the weight and keep it off. Patients also learn the importance of accepting themselves exactly as they are -- no matter what the number on the scale. In addition, a high quality compulsive overeating treatment program should provide a personalized aftercare plan designed to support and empower the individual as they continue to work towards their goals.

For help locating compulsive overeating treatment, call us any time day or night at 1-800-941-5313. Operators are standing by and all calls are confidential.
