Teenage Eating Disorder Treatment at Fairwinds Treatment Center
If your son or daughter has developed an eating disorder, it is crucial you take action now.
If gone untreated an eating disorder such as anorexia, bulimia and binge eating can become a lifelong struggle for your child and in many cases become deadly.
- Fairwinds Treatment Center is one of the nation’s leading teenage eating disorder treatment facilities, offering specialized programs for adolescent males and females ages 12-17.
- Fairwinds is a dual diagnosis
psychiatric facility
- Fairwinds has been treating teenage clients for eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, binge eating and other complex issues for over 14 years.
- Our physicians, therapists and dietitians work together to develop an individualized treatment plan for your child, identifying and addressing the underlying issues causing the eating disorder in order to ensure a lasting recovery.
School:
- We are sensitive to the educational needs of our teenage clients.
- Together with the Pinellas County school system, we offer Homebound Educational Services to ensure that students maintain their current academic schedules while in treatment.
- Through this program, each student receives an individualized educational plan that works in tandem with his or her personal treatment plan.
- Every effort will be made to have the adolescent continue in school and receive credits so that he or she will not have to repeat a semester of school or fall behind.
Family:
- Family treatment services at Fairwinds Treatment Center are critical in assisting teenage clients with their eating disorder treatment program and recovery process.
- Our goal is to help improve communications between the adolescent and family members, as well as identify family dynamics and intervene for positive outcomes.
- In addition, a parent education/ support group meets once weekly on the weekends, and family visitation is highly encouraged for support of the loved one.
Without treatment, up to 20% of people with eating disorders will die. With treatment, that number falls to 2-3%*
