Excessive and uncontrolled consumption of food or a particular food without the regular use of compensatory measures to counter the binge eating; often present with a pattern of “yo-yo dieting.”

Excessive and uncontrollable consumption of a variety of foods or one food in particular, often to the point of feeling unwell. Typically, there are no purging behaviors that follow consumption.

Eating disorders often occur alongside struggles with alcohol and drugs. If left untreated, these disorders can cause significant ongoing problems and prevent you from recovering fully. We believe that simultaneously treating both disorders in a dual diagnosis is the most effective approach for a lifetime of recovery.
