Compulsive overeating treatment used to be based around diets alone, with the hope that one day the individual would be slim and trim. Diet companies made a fortune on special diets and pills but they very rarely worked. This form of compulsive overeating treatment usually back-fired, with the individual gaining back more weight than they initially lost on these programs. Yoyo weight loss and weight gain is a common complaint when using diet programs alone as compulsive overeating treatment. The fact is, they just don't work.

Compulsive Overeating Treatment - Fighting the Addiction

Compulsive overeating is an addiction where the individual uses food to cope with feelings such as anger, anxiety or stress. Similar to drug addiction, the best compulsive overeating treatment is found in a residential treatment program. The residential program provides the individual with structure, accountability, support around their meals and a variety of clinical tools to avoid relapse. Some of the other services provided in a residential center for the treatment of compulsive overeating are:

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

It is important that the compulsive overeating treatment help the affected individual understand that their self-esteem should not be tied to a number. Many people entering compulsive overeating treatment believe that if the scale reveals a lower number then everything will be ok. Nothing could be farther from the truth. One of the things taught in treatment is that a person must learn to accept themselves exactly as they are and that recovery has to do with building self esteem, self worth, confidence and a sense of well being. Maintaining weight loss will come as a direct result of feeling good about oneself and following the aftercare plan developed for them in compulsive overeating treatment. For help locating treatment, call us any time day or night at 1-800-542-4610. All calls are toll-free and confidential.
