The best treatment is the program that takes analysis of the the
woman's entire being and medical history. The process of treating
women at a top treatment center like ours begins with an evaluation by
a physician or counselor. Recommendations include any or all of the
following. In general, the more components included in the treatment
plan, the faster the person will make progress.
1) Hospitalization to prevent death, suicide, and medical crisis.
2) Weight restoration to improve health, mood, and cognitive
functioning. Note: An anorexics fear of weight gain, especially
forced weight gain in hospital, is a huge obstacle to treatment and
recovery. Nevertheless, it is clear that the closer to normal weight
is at the end of treatment, the better the chances of complete
recovery. In study after study, low body weight is strongly correlated
with treatment failure and relapse.
3) Medication to relieve depression and anxiety.
4) Dental work to repair damage and minimize future problems.
5) Individual counseling to develop healthy ways of taking control of
one's life. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has proved effective in
treating bulimia and binge eating disorder. The counseling of choice
for anorexia is determined by individual and family circumstances.
6) Group counseling to learn how to manage relationships effectively.
7) Family counseling to change old patterns and create healthier new
ones.
8) Nutrition counseling to debunk food myths and design healthy meals.
9) Support groups to break down isolation and alienation.
