Eating Disorders Treated at our North Carolina Locations
The Emily Program personalizes treatment to address each individual’s needs, circumstances, and symptoms. This approach addresses the disorder and any other conditions that may make it worse.
- Anorexia Treatment in North Carolina: Our treatment approach for anorexia allows us to work with patients who are struggling with this disorder. Anorexia patients can often see their weight in a distorted way. Our centers are designed to understand the root causes of their issues and guide them through the recovery process.
- Bulimia Treatments in North Carolina: Bulimia nervosa is defined by cycles of binge eating and subsequent compensatory behaviors like restriction, excessive exercise, or self-induced vomiting. That’s why we have designed our centers to treat and help heal those who might be struggling with it.
- Binge Eating Disorder Treatment in North Carolina: This disorder involves eating large amounts of food without control, which often leads to feelings of distress and helplessness. In our treatment centers, our patients learn how best to combat these urges in an empathetic environment and with the specialized help from our team.
- Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is when someone severely limits their food intake. This can happen because of sensory issues, fears, or a lack of interest in eating.
- Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorders (OSFED): Eating disorders that exist outside the strict diagnostic categories of anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating disorder
The Emily Program recognizes that eating disorders manifest in various ways, encompassing not just restrictive eating but also disordered behaviors like compulsive overeating. This deep understanding of the entire spectrum allows our compassionate, multidisciplinary team to tailor treatment plans specifically to your unique recovery journey.
