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.

Mental Health Center Misconceptions
In the past, mental health centers were looked upon as negative treatment entities, used only for the treatment of schizophrenics and those suffering from severe paranoia.
Unfortunately, because of these past associations, many people living with eating disorders fail to receive the treatment they need. They don’t consider themselves in need of mental health treatment because they don’t label themselves as “crazy.” The reality is, eating disorders are considered mental health issues and by treating the emotional and psychological reasons behind the disorder, the patient can more effectively experience a long-term recovery.
Today, mental health centers feature innovative techniques and philosophies designed to benefit many different types of patients, including those with eating disorders and addiction problems.
Why are Mental Health Centers Effective at Treating Eating Disorders?
Eating disorders are very complex diseases that present many physical and mental challenges for the patient. In most of these cases, if the psychological reasons for the development of the disorder are not recognized and brought to light, it can prove extremely difficult for the patient to recover.
The treatment programs available at quality residential mental health centers offer the patient the best opportunity to overcome their eating disorder through select and targeted counseling efforts. Treatment focuses on the core reasons behind the disease through comprehensive therapies, including talk, medicinal or a combination of both.
Finding the Best Mental Health Center for Your Situation
Your best chance of experiencing recovery relies on you being admitted into the mental health center that best fits your specific case. For example, if you are also suffering from an alcohol or drug addition, then you will be best suited for treatment in a center capable of caring for dual diagnosis cases. Or, if you prefer; there are certain centers that offer a holistic approach to recovery, in which natural and spiritual methods are use to heal the mind, body and spirit. Whatever the case, we can help you find the right one for you.
All you have to do is pick up the phone and dial our toll-free number -- 1-800-941-5313. We have the resources necessary for finding you the perfect treatment center. We’re here 24 hours a day, seven days a week to assist you and all calls are confidential, so do it today – call now!
