Eating Disorder Solutions (EDS) treats eating disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions with integrated, compassionate treatment focused on nutritional, clinical, and therapeutic support. Their home-like facility, immersed in nature, offers a structured and accepting environment to recover from conditions like anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating, compulsive overeating, body dysmorphia, orthorexia, avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), and other specified feeding and eating disorders (OSFED). Eating Disorder Solutions offers residential and day treatment programs for adults 18+.
An initial assessment aims to understand clients’ immediate and ongoing mental, physical, and emotional needs. Clients meet with their psychiatrist upon admission and weekly for accurate diagnoses and medication management, as required. In a typical week, clients meet with their therapist twice for 1:1 or
family therapy. Weekly meetings with their physician and nutritionist monitor health needs and maintain meal plans for optimal nutritional health. Nurses provide 24/7 supervision and monitoring.
Eating Disorder Solutions’ integrated treatment addresses both eating disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions, including trauma, depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), bipolar disorder, and personality disorders. They use exposure therapy to help clients overcome fear foods, body dysmorphia, and social anxiety around eating. Other evidence-based therapies used include
cognitive behavioral therapy (
CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (
DBT), and off-site equine therapy. Clients can also participate in expressive arts therapy with painting, sculpting, drawing, music therapy, and more.
Eating Disorder Solutions’ nutritionists and dieticians work with clients to develop a nourishing meal plan catered to their nutritional needs. Chefs create meals and snacks. Eating Disorder Solutions caters to professionals and college students with 1.5 hours of daily computer access, quiet spaces to work, and on-site computers available. Clients can also enjoy a wide array of outdoor activities and weekly outings, including yoga, gathering in their tree house, visits to Clyde Warren Park, the zoo, botanical gardens, local festivals, and more.
