Best Eating Disorder Treatment Center Daly City Near Me

4worldlovers:
Eating disorders—anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating and others—are complex diseases that require a multidisciplinary approach to treatment.

Many factors contribute to development of these conditions, including a biologic pre-disposition, physiologic consequences of semi-starvation, aberrant nutritional patterns, cultural pressures, family dysfunction, and psychological stressors as well as psychological make-up. Recovery is best achieved when each of these issues is addressed through individualized treatment plans.

The Center for Anorexia and Bulimia at our Herrick campus in Berkeley is the Bay Area's only full-spectrum, psychiatric eating disorder program for both adolescents and adults. We are fully accredited by the Joint Commission, which means that we have met the highest standards for quality care.

The program bridges outpatient and inpatient levels of care for people with anorexia and bulimia. It is staffed by qualified and caring professionals with experience treating thousands of people with eating disorders and is successful at treating individuals who have failed in their past attempts to heal from their eating disorders.

The goal of the eating disorder program is for all participants to be well on the way to full and sustained recovery and to minimize risk of relapse. We are very successful at treating individuals who have failed in other specialty treatment centers.

Offering Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient programming in the San Francisco Bay Area

Eating disorders create significant challenges for teens and their families in all aspects of their lives. Sometimes these challenges require intensive treatment. Through our multidisciplinary approach, we address physical, emotional, and nutritional health, academic functioning, and family and peer relationships. Our goal is to provide holistic care that supports adolescents and their families in finding new and healthy ways of living.

So often, teens with eating disorders and their families feel isolated and alone. Our program provides structure and support. It gives clients a chance to connect, relate and problem solve with others that struggle with similar issues. We help guide families in supporting their loved ones in a safe and caring way.

The Healthy Teen Project believes a teenager-only therapeutic environment is important when treating teens with eating disorders. Teens have specific needs that are different than those of adults:

With teens, family support and therapy is an integral component, both for nutritional rehabilitation and to explore other challenges of adolescence and mental health.

Group therapy allows teenagers to find a place where they can open up and be honest and real about their struggles, relate to others, and receive much needed support. Teenagers are at very different places in life than adults and it is other teenagers that provide the validation and support they require.

Greater focus on behavioral and experiential opportunities vs. cognitive/verbal skills

Teenagers get more out of “doing” rather than “talking about doing”. At HTP, teenagers are actively engaged in experiential opportunities and behavioral approaches, such as art therapy, yoga therapy, meal preparation and restaurant exposures.

Additionally, HTP provides a teen-oriented environment (from self-expressive activities to teen-oriented meals/snack choices) where teens can feel safe, nurtured and hopeful. By not treating adolescents along side adult peers, HTP is able to provide the interventions specific to teens with eating disorders.
