Anorexia Treatment
Understanding Anorexia
Anorexia Nervosa is a serious mental health condition characterized by an intense fear of gaining weight and a distorted body image, leading to extreme dietary restrictions and excessive weight loss. It affects both physical and mental health, often requiring comprehensive treatment to address the complex interplay of psychological, emotional, and physical factors.
Our Approach
At Lois Bridges, we offer a compassionate and individualized approach to anorexia treatment. Our holistic program is designed to support and guide individuals on their journey to recovery, focusing on both the mind and body.
Comprehensive Assessment
Every treatment plan begins with a thorough assessment conducted by our multidisciplinary team of experts, including psychiatrists, psychologists, nutritionists, and medical doctors. This initial evaluation helps us understand the unique needs of each client and develop a personalized treatment plan.
Evidence-Based Therapies
Our treatment program incorporates evidence-based therapies that have been proven effective in treating anorexia, including:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps clients understand and change their distorted thoughts and behaviors related to food and body image.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Focuses on developing coping skills to manage stress, regulate emotions, and improve relationships.
Family-Based Therapy (FBT): Involves family members in the treatment process to provide support and address any familial dynamics that may contribute to the disorder.
Nutritional Support
Proper nutrition is a critical component of recovery. Our team of experienced dietitians and nutritionists work closely with clients to develop balanced meal plans that meet their individual needs and preferences. We provide education on healthy eating habits and support clients in restoring a positive relationship with food.
Supportive Environment
We believe that a supportive and nurturing environment is essential for recovery. At Lois Bridges, clients receive care in a safe and welcoming setting where they can focus on healing without judgment. Our residential and day programs offer a sense of community and encouragement, fostering connections with others who are on similar journeys.
Medical Care
Anorexia can have severe health consequences. Our medical team monitors clients’ physical health, addressing any medical complications that may arise and ensuring that each client is on a safe path to recovery.
Aftercare and Ongoing Support
Recovery from anorexia is an ongoing process. To support long-term success, we provide aftercare programs and ongoing support, including regular follow-up sessions and access to resources that help clients maintain their progress and prevent relapse.
