The Road to a Lasting Recovery from Eating Disorders

The mission of our residential eating disorders program is to provide quality treatment that is sufficient in length to provide clients with the tools necessary to achieve a growing and lasting recovery. At Fairwinds, we recognize that every client is unique, and some individuals may require longer, more intensive anorexia treatment or bulimia treatment.

In fact, research indicates more positive outcomes from eating disorders treatment when clients remain in treatment until they have relinquished the anorexia and bulimia hallmark behaviors including starvation and/or binge/purge cycles and are able to achieve a normal weight. No matter how long it takes, our eating disorders treatment team will work diligently and patiently with you to reach these goals:

• Reintegrate the mind and body.
• Restore a healthy body weight and treat physiological problems.
• Treat the underlying physiological problems resulting from starvation, binge-eating or purging.
• Treat the co-occurring psychiatric and substance abuse disorders that may accompany the eating disorder.
• Normalize eating patterns and behaviors.
• Reframe cognitive and body image distortions.
• Engage the family in cooperation and support.
• Reintegrate the client back into the community.
• Create a structured aftercare program and plan to prevent eating disorder relapse.

Transition and Aftercare: A New and Healthy You

Our facility’s holistic approach to eating disorders treatment stresses the importance of family support and psychological rehabilitation so that every client can achieve self-realization, a sense of personal responsibility and a renewed self-worth. When you’re ready to leave Fairwinds, our treatment team will help you create a personalized discharge and aftercare plan designed to give you ongoing support in your daily life.

Fairwinds Treatment Center promotes a treatment philosophy based on our clients closely following their individual aftercare and discharge plans. When you attend follow-up visits to therapists, doctors and nutritionists, as well as participate in support group meetings, our success as a team increases significantly!
