If you, or someone you know, have a serious eating disorder, it’s important to seek treatment as soon as you can. Eating disorders can be fatal, but the risk of death or permanent injury decreases with prompt and aggressive treatment.
The term “eating disorder clinic” can describe several types of treatment, but the likelihood of full recovery is higher for inpatient and residential eating disorder treatment programs.
Treatment in an eating disorder clinic will be designed not just to reduce the symptoms of the eating disorder, but to treat the possible causes, and learn about body image, healthy exercise, family dynamics, and relapse prevention (among many other things!)
