Eating Disorders Treated at Our 24/7 Residential Treatment Center in Cleveland
Recovery from an eating disorder is a unique journey for everyone. At our Cleveland 24/7 residential treatment center, The Emily Program’s compassionate team will work closely with you to design a plan tailored to your specific needs. Ensuring you have the support you need to heal, we address the full spectrum of eating disorders and related mental health concerns.
- Anorexia Nervosa: Defined by an unrelenting pursuit of thinness and a significantly low body weight, accompanied by an intense fear of gaining weight and a distorted body image
- Bulimia Nervosa: Characterized by repeated cycles of binge eating followed by purging behaviors like self-induced vomiting or excessive exercise to compensate for the calories consumed
- Binge Eating Disorder (BED): Defined by repeated episodes of eating excessive amounts of food while experiencing a loss of control
- Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID): Characterized by highly restricted food choices due to anxiety, sensory sensitivities, or a lack of interest in food, leading to nutritional deficiencies and difficulties functioning
- Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorders (OSFED): Disordered eating patterns and associated symptoms that are clinically significant but do not fit the precise definitions of the other eating disorder diagnoses
Eating disorders are multidimensional illnesses that present with a range of symptoms, such as restriction and compulsive overeating. No matter your specific challenges, our programming offers a wide range of personalized treatment approaches designed to provide a path to recovery that respects your unique journey.
Components of our residential eating disorder treatment program in Columbus

Group Psychotherapy:
Group sessions offer a powerful antidote to the isolation often felt by those with eating disorders. In this safe and judgment-free environment, you’ll gain a stronger sense of community, along with practical skills informed by DBT (dialectical behavior therapy) and CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy).

Family Therapy:
Our family therapy sessions, grounded in family-based treatment (FBT) principles, recognize that eating disorders affect the entire family, not just the individual. You and your loved ones will learn to navigate your eating disorder challenges together, creating a supportive recovery environment at home. By strengthening your collective understanding, these sessions will empower your family to be an integral part of your healing process, enhancing both relationships and treatment outcomes.

Nutrition Therapy:
Our nutrition therapy goes beyond meal planning. It’s about helping you reconnect with your body’s signals and needs. You’ll learn practical skills in a supportive environment, enabling you to address any misconceptions around food, increase your ability to remain present while eating, and embrace an “All Foods Fit” mindset without fear.

Medical Care:
Restoring your physical health is our priority. Our medical team — including 24/nurses — collaborates closely with your therapists, psychiatrist, and registered dietitian to provide a tailored approach that supports your overall recovery. By continuously assessing and adapting your treatment, we ensure you regain and maintain the physical health needed to fully engage in your recovery journey.

Psychiatric Care:
Our psychiatric care is tailored to address both your eating disorder and any co-occurring mental health issues, ensuring a comprehensive approach to your well-being. Our psychiatrists offer empathy and personalized treatment strategies, including effective medication management (if needed), to enhance your emotional and psychological health during your recovery.

Experiential Activities:
Our experiential activities extend recovery skills into real-world settings. Through activities like guided grocery shopping and varied dining experiences, you’ll build confidence and practical skills for nourishing your body. These hands-on experiences are vital for developing a positive relationship with food and navigating everyday eating challenges.

Additional Therapies:
Our individualized treatment plans include integrative interventions tailored to your needs. These additional therapies help deepen your recovery experience and include:
- Expressive Arts: Art-making offers a way to visualize and explore intense emotions, helping to gain self-awareness and self-compassion in a safe, supportive setting.
- Movement Therapy: Engaging in gentle physical activities like yoga will respect your body’s current state and recovery needs. Movement therapy enhances your mind-body connection and promotes emotional balance.
