Treating Eating and Related Disorders
Eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder are complex on their own. When combined with other disorders or special circumstances, treatment of these eating disorders can be more difficult.
But we at Rader Programs know we can help you recover from your eating disorder, despite the existence of any co-occurring disorders or special circumstances.
That is because we have been the experts in eating disorder treatment for more than 25 years. Rader Programs’ eating disorder clinic provides a supportive environment for both men and women to overcome their eating and related disorders.
Our multi-disciplinary team of caring and experienced professionals, which includes psychiatrists, physicians, psychologists, registered nurses, master’s-level clinicians and nutritionists, can help you develop an individualized treatment plan that addresses both your eating disorder and any additional issues you may be facing.
Rader Programs’ eating disorder hospital has expertise in providing anorexia treatment, bulimia treatment and compulsive eating disorder treatment along with the following co-occurring disorders:
- Drug and alcohol abuse: People who suffer from an eating disorder such as anorexia, bulimia or binge eating disorder often struggle with drug and alcohol abuse. Substances can be used to suppress hunger, lose weight and self-medicate. We understand the difficulties of an eating disorder complicated by substance abuse and are skilled at addressing the specific treatment needs of both disorders.
- Depression and anxiety: Mood disorders such as depression and anxiety often develop as a result of an eating disorder, leaving you feeling even more out of control of your body. Our team of professionals can work to address any depression or anxiety you are experiencing along with your eating disorder for a more comprehensive recovery.
- Self-harm: If you are suffering from an eating disorder, you may also be engaging in self-harm such as cutting, burning or scratching. Much like an eating disorder, self-harm is often used as a method to help cope with and take control of negative feelings and emotions. At our premier eating disorder clinic, you will learn to face and process your negative feelings and emotions so that eating disorders and self-harm are no longer your means of coping.
- Diabulimia: If you have been diagnosed with diabetes, you have a higher risk for developing an eating disorder. You may have fallen into the dangerous behaviors of dieting, restricting and bingeing, or of misusing your insulin to control your weight. The expert team of physicians and psychologists at our eating disorder hospital can help you learn to better manage your diabetes and recover from your eating disorder so you can lead a healthier life.
In addition to treating co-occurring disorders, Rader Programs has expertise in treating people with eating disorders who also have any of the following special circumstances:
- Men: Eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder can be just as devastating to men as they are to women. They can wreak havoc on your self-esteem, health and body image. Rader Programs recognizes the unique needs of men with eating disorders and is here to help you recover.
- Athletes: Athletes are prone to eating disorders because of their concentration on working out, being competitive and staying in shape. The effects of eating disorders are no less severe for athletes, and eating disorder symptoms can often be easily masked by athletes. Rader Programs offers eating disorder treatment that can help athletes find recovery while meeting their athletic goals.
- Vegetarians, Vegans and People Who Keep Kosher: If you or your loved one has special dietary needs, we can tailor eating disorder treatment to maintain those during recovery. We want to help you gain the knowledge and skills needed to nourish instead of abuse your body with food. We know that changing nutritional habits can be difficult, but we are committed to helping you work through the changes.
- Diet Pills, Ipecac and Laxatives: People with eating disorders may use diet pills, Ipecac or laxatives to help control their weight. This is a dangerous habit that can cause severe medical complications. Our multidisciplinary treatment team has the expertise and experience to address the medical and psychological components of misuse of any of these substances.
If you or a loved one is suffering from an eating disorder such as anorexia, bulimia or binge eating disorder, as well as any of the above, Rader Programs has the eating disorders treatment that will help.
