Eating Disorders& Addiction
For many women, food is a way to numb or deal with uncomfortable emotions. Anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and other disordered behavior can emerge as a result of trauma or mental illness. Often, newly sober people will see an old eating disorder emerge in recovery. Other times, when there is no access to drugs or alcohol, food becomes a new coping strategy.
What WeTreat
Eating disorders may be categorized in a variety of ways. There are many common diagnoses, but sometimes, women display restrictive eating behaviors, obsession with healthful eating, or over-exercising. These behaviors may not qualify as diagnosable eating disorders, but they require professional intervention. Regardless of your situation, the Canyon Crossing team is ready to help you begin your journey to recovery.
Our team of experts provides treatment for the following eating disorders:
- Anorexia nervosa
- Bulimia nervosa
- Binge eating disorder (BED)
- Orthorexia
- Avoidant and restrictive eating
