About Eating Disorders

Anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, compulsive overeating ... eating disorders and food addiction can touch anyone and without proper treatment can result in a ruined and hopeless life. People with eating disorders have one thing in common - they have a disease that is treatable; yet if left untreated, the disease can be fatal.

For those who suffer from a dual diagnosis, like anorexia and depression or an anxiety disorder, the problems are compounded. For many of these individuals, their eating disorder may be an attempt to cope with their psychological symptoms.

The good news is that help is available.

Brookhaven offers hope and help to people suffering from eating disorders, and support for the people who love them. At Brookhaven, we host the Rader Program, an internationally recognized eating disorder treatment program. We understand the complexity of eating disorders and address the medical, psychological, physical, nutritional and spiritual aspects of the disease. Our customer satisfaction studies consistently show that 91% of the people we serve would recommend Brookhaven to others.

Brookhaven's Eating Disorders Program provides intensive, focused treatment programs for individuals suffering from these eating problems: Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, and Compulsive Overeating.

We provide personal care and effective treatment in a warm, supportive environment, where individuals and their families can implement new lifestyles of recovery. Our professional staff designs a treatment plan for each person which includes counseling, psychotherapy, nutrition education, meal planning, body image therapy, exercise groups, family therapy and support group participation.

If you or someone you know is struggling with an eating disorder, please contact Brookhaven today at 1-888-298-HOPE (4673). A healthy life awaits you.
