Testimonials

"If I never said thank you before, let me say it now. Even though it took you almost six weeks to get me to go for treatment, you never gave up on me, like I always gave up on myself. A special thanks to Jodi who never stopped believing in me. By the way, I have been in recovery for 7 months now, what a miracle."
Erin B, Minneapolis, Minnesota

"It's been 17 months, six days and four hours since I last purged, but who is counting. It turned out to be much harder to give up my eating disorder than the cocaine. You were right about going to an eating disorder treatment center that was just as skilled in drug addiction as bulimia. Life is Good!"
Brenda T., Chicago Illinois

"We wanted to thank you helping us find treatment for our daughter. She's like a different person. We are so grateful to all of your staff."
Nancy and Gary B. - Baltimore, Maryland

Sarah P. - Raleigh, North Carolina

"Donna, if there is ever anything you need from me just let me know. I am still in recovery, 2yrs., and if I didn't listen to you that day, I never would have made it. Thanks!!!!"
Barbara S. - Long Island, New York

"Bobbie at EatingDisorderClinic.org rocks! Just want you to know I took your advice and followed through with treatment. You were right, I needed to be there and yes, it changed my life."
Lisa R. - Union, New Jersey

Food Addiction Treatment

Food addiction is an eating disorder that is characterized by a preoccupation with food, body image and weight.

Call our toll-free helpline at 1-800-588-6158 and we can help you find the treatment you need to recover. The call is confidential and our professionals are available to take your call 24/7.

Is Food Addiction Treatment Possible?

People who suffer from food addiction are similar to those who battle other addictions, like alcohol or drugs. In this case, the addiction is centered on sugar, fats or flour. After binging on certain foods, food addicts will go through a withdrawal period in which they suffer from cravings. The cravings can become so severe that the individual may actually experience cramps, tremors, severe depression and periods of self-hatred.

Today's food addiction treatment programs are designed to treat the condition in a similar fashion to alcohol or drug rehabilitation. The treating physicians will develop an individualized program for each patient, based upon their needs and condition. Then, the deep-rooted psychological reasons for the food addiction will be treated while the patient is also receiving nutritional education and learning healthy eating habits. Through targeted treatment of both the emotional and physical aspects of food addiction, the patient is presented with all of the tools necessary for long-term recovery.

The Goals of Food Addiction Treatment

Achieving a healthy body weight
Learning healthy eating patterns
Understanding and treating the patient's emotional triggers that affect their eating habits
Implementing daily coping strategies that the patient can utilize outside of the program
Creating a continuing support plan to increase the chance for long-term recovery and reduce the chance of relapse

Components of a Quality Food Addiction Treatment Program

It's important to understand that not all food addiction treatment programs offer the same services, and as such, one may fill your needs better than another. Here are some things you should look for in a quality treatment program:

An individualized treatment plan
Group therapy sessions
Strong family support component
Spirituality exploration
Nutrition education services
