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 are Compulsive Overeating Programs?
Compulsive overeating programs, binge eating programs or food addiction programs are all designed to treat someone for their high consumption of calories and food. This type of overeating can occur throughout the day or in one extended episode. Most people entering a compulsive overeating program report they constantly lie about the amount of food they eat, eat alone, consume large amounts of sugar and refined flour products and suffer from depression. This is not unusual as the compulsive eater tries to self medicate through the use of food which creates a never ending cycle for them
Philosophy for Compulsive Overeating Programs
Compulsive overeating programs usually view compulsive overeating as an addiction to food types such as those high in sugar or refined flour. As with any addiction, the first thing to do is discontinue the use of self destructive substances. In many cases this period of time in the compulsive overeating program will be referred to as detox and patients will be assisted to cope with their cravings and mood swings.
When the patient is medically stable, they will enter a phase of treatment where they will begin to explore the root cause of their compulsive overeating. As this is being accomplished, patients will be introduced to 12 step programs and the addiction philosophy they embrace.
Treatment within a compulsive overeating program is based on the premise that compulsive overeating is an addiction that is progressive and chronic. Medical problems associated with compulsive eating such as; diabetes, cardio vascular disease, high blood pressure or kidney and liver problems can be fatal if left untreated.
