Our approach to eating disorder treatment
While many people mistakenly believe that an eating disorder is primarily about a person’s eating habits and physical appearance, we believe that it is often an expression of underlying mental, psychological or emotional pain. That’s why we use a unique and effective approach, combining clinical treatment and therapeutic counseling. We personalize these treatment plans to meet each patient’s individual needs, promoting healing of the mind, body and spirit and putting them on the path to lasting and sustainable wellness.
Anorexia Nervosa
Anorexia, one of the most common disorders, is characterized by deliberate starvation. People with this condition often obsess about their weight and the types of food they eat. This fixation leads sufferers to maintain a body weight that is dangerously lower than the healthy requirement for their age and height

Bulimia Nervosa
Those who suffer from bulimia nervosa obsess over how much food they eat and their weight. Sufferers often feel like they’ve lost control over their dietary habits, leading them to binge eat. These binging periods are then followed by purging sessions to prevent weight gain. Many people associate bulimia with self-induced vomiting, but it may also involve the misuse of laxatives and diuretics, fasting or excessive exercise. If you or a loved one is struggling with these behaviors, click below to learn more about the Eating Disorder treatment programs at Fairwinds Treatment Center.

Tips for Parents
Too often parents dismiss eating disorders off as a “phase” or a simple case of low self-esteem, but they represent severe mental illness and can prove fatal if not treated.

Male Eating Disorder Treatment
Many people mistakenly believe that males can’t develop issues like anorexia, bulimia and compulsive overeating. While these potentially life-threatening conditions are more common among females, they can target both men and women from any race or background.

Nutrition Services
Fairwinds Treatment Center uses a non-diet approach for bulimia or anorexia treatment. Upon admission to our facility and initial assessment, the attending physician and the registered dietitian will work together to determine a treatment plan that considers caloric intake, final goal weight, menu planning and the psycho-therapeutic steps needed for recovery.
