It's Never Too Late to Get Your Life Back... 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." "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!" "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." "I was so scared to go to treatment, but Belinda never gave up on me. She found me the greatest treatment center. If you could thank her for me I would appreciate it." "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!!!!" "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." |

What is Residential Eating Disorder Treatment?The eating disorder treatment programs that take place in residential treatment centers are specifically designed to offer long-term care for those diagnosed with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating or other type of eating disorder. These programs allow clients to stay at the facility 24-hours a day as they undergo treatment for their eating disorder. Residential treatment offers patients structure and stability as they go through therapy sessions, nutritional counseling, medical treatment and other activities. Many facilities also offer alternative therapies, such as art, dance and music programs, recreational sessions, yoga and meditation sessions and more. These programs accompany traditional eating disorder treatment. Residential treatment is often appropriate for those with severe cases of the illness. The Difference Between Inpatient & Residential Eating Disorder TreatmentMany people think inpatient and residential eating disorder treatment facilities are synonymous, but they are actually somewhat different. Inpatient eating disorder treatment also offers 24-hour care but has shorter terms of stay, and often patients continue their therapy as they "step down" into an associated outpatient program In 2006, the International Journal of Eating Disorders conducted a study on U.S. residential eating disorder treatment centers. The study showed that the average length of stay for a residential eating disorder program was 83 days, while an inpatient eating disorder program had a 23.7-day average length of stay. Another difference is that unlike residential treatment facilities, inpatient eating disorder programs are often associated with a hospital or medical center. Clients with co-occurring medical disorders or physical complications from their illness may benefit from this method of treatment, as inpatient programs have access to a continuum of care for each client. The Popularity of Residential Treatment CentersResidential treatment centers for eating disorders are experiencing rapid growth, especially for treatment of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. One explanation for their growing popularity is cost-effectiveness. The International Journal of Eating Disorders study determined that the average daily cost for residential eating disorder treatment was $956, while the average inpatient daily cost was around $2,000. No matter what the draw, residential eating disorder treatment centers are on the rise, and offering clients a variety of therapies and treatment options.
