Eating Disorder Clinic

Our Eating Disorder Clinic addresses both your underlying issues as well as behavioral changes that must take place. We offer an expansive avenue to mental health matters, and our knowledgeable health professionals excel in women’s psychology. Our clinic agenda favors individuality for every woman and encourages women to take part in their own growth and recovery. Our creative programs stress the value and restorative promise of healthy interpersonal relationships. Our Eating Disorder Clinic offers a very broad extent of services so that clinical treatment can be customized to meet the needs of each individual.

After you are assessed, your eating disorder goals and designs will be developed in cooperation with the resident and her referring therapist. Our goal is to offer the precise level of treatment according to each woman’s situation and to assist the progress of timely changes to less intensive degrees of care. We recognize that eating disorders are very serious because they damage the body both physically and emotionally. Receiving treatment as early as possible makes recovery that much easier. Initially it is common for you to lash out in fits of anger or rage because often we have been able to reach this problem and address the condition before it has advanced too far, therefore you may still be in denial. We want to make it clear initially that we are in this for the long haul and we will always be here for you.

Right now you might still believe that losing more weight is the answer to everything, it will make you feel better, make your life happier and that you will have more self confidence and become more successful but the truth is that this is nothing more than an illusion. Time heals everything and before long, with the proper help, you will understand that being thin has nothing to do with being happy. You will never have a life of purpose and meaning by purging, starving, bingeing, and inducing vomiting. We are going to teach you better ways to build the life that you truly want without hurting yourself. Please let us help! Call Cliffside Malibu at 1-800-501-1988.

Eating Disorder Clinic

There are going to be challenges and obstacles on your road to success. There is no quick and easy solution to this problem. Too often people give up when you discover that recovery can take a very long time and will require a lot of hard work before you will be free of your destructive behaviors and gain control of your life. Recovery requires big commitments on your part such as getting into treatment, staying in treatment, making the necessary lifestyle changes, and resolving the underlying psychological and emotional problems that led to your eating disorder in the first place.

An Eating Disorder Clinic will be able to treat your eating problem and you will be able to recover. You should know and understand in advance that this is a difficult process that can take years to correct. Yes, eating disorders are treatable, and lots of people recover from them. Recovery, however, as noted above, is a difficult process that can take seven to ten years or even longer. Some do better than others and achieve much quicker progress. Those that do the best are the ones that work with physicians and counselors to assist them in resolving both the medical and psychological issues that embrace your eating disorder. Call Cliffside Malibu today at 1-800-501-1988 to experience our Eating Disorder Clinic for yourself.

Recovery Begins

Your recovery program will entail so much more than just no longer bingeing and purging or starving you, it encompasses a lot more than that. To be fully recovered and maintain health we want to see you at a normal weight and the ability to maintain that weight, regular menstrual periods without needing medication, a regular diet of normal foods, a major reduction or the total elimination of irrational food fears, the ability to stop yearning for unrealistic thinness and that you display effective ways of repudiating those demands.

We want to make sure that you have the ability to have at least one mutually satisfying friendship with a healthy, normal person, strong problem solving skills, engaging in activities that have nothing to do with weight or food, grasping the process of choices and consequences, that you have set goals and a realistic plan for achieving them, and that you have learned how to be kind to not only yourself but others as well. This is what real life is all about. Reach out today for help, we are waiting for you. Call Cliffside Malibu today at 1-800-501-1988.
