Eating Disorders

Treatment

At Keys Behavioral Health, we provide comprehensive support for substance abuse and mental health challenges, helping individuals unlock their potential for a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Understanding Eating Disorders

Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions characterized by unhealthy eating habits and severe concern about body weight or shape. These disorders can have significant physical, emotional, and psychological consequences. Common eating disorders include:

Anorexia Nervosa: An intense fear of gaining weight and a distorted body image lead to severe restriction of food intake and excessive weight loss.
Bulimia Nervosa: Involves cycles of binge eating followed by purging through vomiting, excessive exercise, or the use of laxatives.
Binge Eating Disorder: Characterized by regular episodes of eating large quantities of food, often quickly and to the point of discomfort, without subsequent purging behaviors.

Our Approach to Eating Disorders Treatment

At Keys Behavioral Health, we recognize that eating disorders are not merely about food. They are often rooted in underlying emotional issues, trauma, or co-occurring mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Our comprehensive treatment approach addresses both the symptoms and the underlying causes of eating disorders.

Personalized Treatment Plans

Each individual’s experience with an eating disorder is unique, and so is their path to recovery. Our multidisciplinary team of professionals works collaboratively to create personalized treatment plans tailored to each client’s specific needs. These plans typically include:

Medical Monitoring: Regular health check-ups to address and monitor any medical complications arising from eating disorders.
Nutritional Counseling: Guidance from registered dietitians to help clients develop a healthy relationship with food and establish balanced eating habits.
Psychotherapy: Evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Family-Based Therapy (FBT) to address underlying psychological issues and develop coping strategies.
Group Therapy: Provides a supportive environment where clients can share their experiences, gain insights, and build a sense of community.
Holistic Therapies: Incorporation of mindfulness practices, yoga, art therapy, and other holistic approaches to promote overall well-being.

Family Involvement

We believe that family support plays a crucial role in the recovery process. Our family therapy sessions aim to educate and involve family members in the treatment process, helping them understand the nature of eating disorders and learn how to support their loved ones effectively.

Continuum of Care

Recovery from an eating disorder is a journey, and we are committed to providing ongoing support even after the initial treatment phase. Our continuum of care includes outpatient services, support groups, and aftercare planning to ensure that clients have the resources they need to maintain their recovery and prevent relapse.
