Eating disorders can be categorised into different types, but what all of them have in common is an extreme preoccupation with food and body weight that prevents the victims from leading a normal life. Fortunately, help is available in the form of multiple eating disorder treatment centres spread all across the UK to help individuals recover in a resort-style facility studded with luxuries like massage parlours, spas, and pools. These upscale facilities combine high-end treatment and care plans with first-class experience to help clients feel relaxed and focus completely on their recovery.

This guide covers eating disorder rehabilitation centres, their salient features and services, and why someone suffering from an eating disorder should choose these facilities instead of opting for a hospital.

Eating disorders can be regarded as a multi-layered problem that often stems from a deeply-lacking sense of self-worth. These issues can portray themselves in multiple ways with some people restricting their food intake to an unhealthy level, some eating compulsively, and others purging or engaging in binge eating sessions.

Some common symptoms that may raise suspicion of an eating disorder include:

  • Losing control around food/ having an unhealthy relationship with food
  • Spending a lot of time planning about your next meal of the day
  • Hiding the eating habits from friends and family
  • Drastic fluctuations in body weight due to altered eating habits
  • A decrease in self-esteem due to an unhealthy connection with food
  • Aberrant attitude with food, including food restrictions, purging after having meals, or frequent binge eating episodes

If you or a loved one suffers from the above-mentioned symptoms, it’s perfectly normal and you are not alone. Getting help with eating disorders is now easier than ever with the widespread availability of multiple private rehabilitation centres that offer different holistic approaches and therapies to regain control of food and shift the way of thinking towards a healthier side.

Eating disorders are extremely complex issues, usually associated with multiple problems, such as a distorted self-image and obsessive behaviour. Developing unhealthy relationships with food can often become a coping mechanism to tackle painful life events, negative emotions, stressful situations, and other challenges where things feel like getting out of control. Unless the underlying issue leading to these eating disorders is not addressed, the problem is not likely to go away.

A private eating disorder clinic works on this principle to provide exclusive, comprehensive, and highly-individualised treatment for an eating disorder. Focusing on one client at a time, the team of professionals appointed in these facilities address both psychological as well as physical symptoms to repair the damage done to the body. More importantly, these teams are trained to tackle the underlying issues that lead to the eating disorder in the first place.

A residential eating disorder rehab normally lasts between one to two months and offers specially-curated programs to support clients develop a healthy connection with food. These programs also include approaches to identify any causative triggers and offer various therapeutic approaches to address them while increasing self-awareness and self-esteem and healing the feelings of guilt and shame.

Eating disorders can easily be one of the most difficult mental health issues to treat and most people suffering from them require professional help. The goal of treatment centres working to help such people is to provide adequate eating disorder counselling in an environment that allows them to rewire their brains and let go of unhealthy eating patterns smoothly. To achieve this goal, the rehab team particularly focuses on addressing the symptoms while equipping the clients with the tools necessary to gain control of their eating habits. Most of these facilities also offer ongoing support in the form of aftercare programs to ensure sustainable results and long-term recovery.

360-degree Initial Assessment
