Expertise in Treating a Range of Eating Disorders and Co-Occurring Conditions

As healthcare professionals, you know that no two eating disorder cases are exactly alike. At Eating Disorder Solutions, patients benefit from individualized treatment plans designed to meet their specific needs, whether they are struggling with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, or other less common conditions such as avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID).

In addition to treating eating disorders, EDS has extensive experience in addressing co-occurring conditions, such as anxiety, depression, and trauma, which frequently complicate the recovery process. One area where EDS excels is in identifying and treating body dysmorphia, a condition that often accompanies eating disorders but may go undiagnosed. Healthcare professionals can trust EDS to perform thorough assessments and provide targeted treatment for this complex issue, allowing patients to heal on both physical and psychological levels.

EDS’s treatment programs include:

• In-Patient Residential Care: A highly structured, immersive program for individuals requiring intensive, around-the-clock care.
• Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP): For patients who are medically stable but need continued supervision and intensive therapy.
• Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): For those transitioning from higher levels of care or needing a flexible treatment option.
• Outpatient Services: Ideal for patients maintaining their recovery while managing daily responsibilities.

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): A proven method for helping patients identify and change harmful thought patterns that contribute to disordered eating.
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Focused on helping patients manage emotions and develop coping mechanisms for distressing situations.
• Family-Based Therapy (FBT): Recognizing the role of family support in recovery, EDS integrates families into the treatment process, empowering them to become part of the patient’s recovery journey.
• Nutritional Counseling: Registered dietitians help patients rebuild healthy relationships with food, ensuring that nutritional rehabilitation is a core part of recovery.

These evidence-based approaches are paired with ongoing medical monitoring and psychiatric care, ensuring that patients are supported through every step of their recovery.
