People struggling with binge eating disorders often exhibit behaviors that resemble the behaviors of people with substance use disorder. We also know that many people struggling with substance use disorder also struggle with a binge eating disorder. This combination of co-occurring mental health concerns is known as a dual diagnosis. At Crestview, we provide treatment for binge eating disorders when they occur alongside substance use disorder. Recovery isn’t easy, but we can help show you that it’s worth it. If you are struggling with a substance use disorder and binge eating disorder, contact Crestview Recovery by calling 866.262.0531.

Binge eating disorder is one of the most common eating disorders in the United States today. However, that doesn’t mean that it’s not treatable. At the eating disorder treatment center at Crestview Recovery, we provide a range of evidence-based and holistic treatment options. We’ve designed our mental health treatment programs to treat the needs of those suffering from a range of conditions, including binge eating disorders.

What Happens in Binge Eating Disorder Treatment?

Your binge eating disorder treatment starts with a thorough evaluation after you decide on a facility. Of course, finding a facility is never easy. But your chosen rehab becomes an essential part of your present and future wellness. It is in this program you learn healthy eating skills while gaining the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual help you need for recovery. This evaluation also helps to determine what level of care you require. There is a range of care options available, including:

• Inpatient treatment
• Partial hospitalization programs
• Intensive outpatient programs
• Outpatient programs
• Men’s treatment programs
• Women’s treatment programs

Once you go through your initial evaluation, you gain an individualized treatment plan. This treatment plan meets your own unique needs, whether those include other addictions, mental illnesses, or just the eating disorder itself. The overall goal of your binge eating disorder treatment plan is for lasting control over your eating behaviors.

The treatment plan includes a mix of approaches, including therapies, support, and education. Your family also receives some support, so going home does not trigger you back into your eating disorder. You gain coping skills, communication skills, and relapse prevention techniques. You can also develop plans and goals for your future. Of course, getting this treatment involves finding the right rehab. Such programs exist if you know where to look.

About Your Eating Disorder Therapies

Your eating disorder therapies include a range of styles, types, and methods. You possibly need effective medications, and if you suffer from drug or alcohol addiction, you may need to detox. But all of these come together in your treatment plan.

Some essential parts of your binge eating disorder treatment include:

Psychotherapy or Talk Therapy

Talk therapy helps you build better communication skills while exploring your root causes of disordered eating, as well as other problems in your life. This therapy takes place in a one-on-one setting, in which you develop trust with your therapist.

This trust lets you discuss any topic you feel you need to, with the therapist guiding you to possible ways of changing negative behaviors or fixing problems. The therapist works with you to change your thinking and behaviors regarding food through cognitive-behavioral therapy or other approaches.

Medication

Some people need FDA-approved medication to treat their binge eating disorders. One such drug is lisdexamfetamine. This medication helps reduce your number of binging episodes as the first drug approved for this use. Some people also need an anti-seizure drug called topiramate. Others require an antidepressant or anti-anxiety medication for depression or anxiety disorders.

Nutrition Counseling

Of course, one of the most significant parts of your binge eating disorder treatment program is learning and adapting to healthy eating behaviors. You gain these with the help of a dietary specialist. Through their guidance and over your time in rehab, you re-establish normal eating patterns while learning about a balanced diet, nutrition, and other physical fitness measures.

Group and Family Therapy

Group therapy works very well in that it allows you to hear others’ experiences similar to yours while your group members provide support for you. In turn, you also support them and practice your healthy communication skills. Your family also needs some therapy to help them understand your problem and how to recognize its signs and symptoms. After all, you need support at home, too.
