An eating disorder is not an extreme diet or lifestyle choice; it is a serious and multifaceted mental health condition that may be deeply rooted in past trauma. Although the causes are not yet fully understood, many experts believe illnesses such as bulimia, anorexia, and compulsive overeating stem from a complex interplay of various biological, psychological, and environmental factors. Therefore, for the best chance at long-term recovery, it is essential to seek professional support.
For more than 30 years, the team at Fairwinds Treatment Center near Palm Harbor, Florida, has been providing personalized medical care, psychiatric and psychological services, and nutrition therapy for patients with eating disorders. As pioneers of dual-diagnosis treatment, we take a holistic approach to patient care. In addition to addressing your eating disorder, we will work with you to uncover and treat any co-existing conditions that may be causing or contributing to your illness.
Fairwinds Treatment Center offers fully integrated, highly individualized care delivered by a collaborative team of physicians, psychologists, dietitians, and other specialists. If you opt for inpatient or residential treatment, you will live full-time at our comfortable, cottage-inspired recovery center for 28 to 60 days. During that time, you can receive the compassionate support you need—any time of the day or night—to conquer your eating disorder.
As you advance on your journey toward full recovery, you may wish to transition to an intensive outpatient eating disorder program. That way, we can help you stay on track as you return to work, school, and other environments that are fraught with the triggers and temptations of your eating disorder. Although you will live at home, you will check in with our team regularly, and we will continue to monitor your progress and provide any support you need, such as individual psychotherapy, behavioral therapy, family therapy, meal planning, and/or fitness counseling.
