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.

Food Addiction Treatment - Steps to Recovery
Those individuals most likely to benefit from food addiction treatment are those willing to work with professionals, towards their recovery. Steps to a lasting recovery include:
Identifying "trigger foods," that is the foods that cause cravings.
Beginning to modify eating patterns and lifestyle, guided by professionals.
Beginning a manageable exercise program.
Breaking an individual's psychological and physiological dependency of food is most effective once the person recognizes that they are powerless to combat the food addiction by themselves.
If you have a food addiction, you should contact an eating disorder professional or find an eating disorder program for a complete evaluation to determine what type of food addiction treatment will best benefit you. Research has proven that people attending inpatient eating disorder treatment programs derive better results than individuals attending outpatient programs. Inpatient food addiction treatment programs provide more structure than outpatient facilities and feature around-the-clock medical and psychological support.
