Bulimia Treatment
Understanding Bulimia
Bulimia Nervosa is a serious eating disorder characterized by cycles of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviors such as vomiting, excessive exercise, or the use of laxatives. This condition can have severe physical and emotional consequences, making comprehensive treatment essential for recovery.
Our Approach
At Lois Bridges, we offer a tailored and compassionate approach to treating bulimia. Our multidisciplinary team is dedicated to helping individuals break the cycle of bulimia and achieve lasting recovery through personalized care and evidence-based practices.
Comprehensive Assessment
Treatment begins with an in-depth assessment by our team of specialists, including psychiatrists, psychologists, nutritionists, and medical doctors. This evaluation helps us understand the specific needs and challenges of each client, forming the basis for a customized treatment plan.
Evidence-Based Therapies
Our treatment program incorporates a variety of evidence-based therapies designed to address the psychological, emotional, and behavioral aspects of bulimia, including:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Focuses on changing unhealthy eating behaviors and thoughts related to food, body image, and self-esteem.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Teaches skills to manage stress, regulate emotions, and improve interpersonal relationships.
Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT): Addresses interpersonal issues that may contribute to the disorder, helping clients improve communication and relationship skills.
Nutritional Support
A key component of our treatment is nutritional rehabilitation. Our experienced dietitians and nutritionists work with clients to develop balanced meal plans that restore healthy eating patterns and nutritional balance. We provide education on nutrition and support clients in building a positive relationship with food.
