The Importance of Eating Disorder Treatment
Provided below are alarming statistics related to eating disorders.
Approximately 20 million women will experience a clinically significant eating disorder in their lifetime. Of these, it is estimated that:
- 0.5% to 3.7% will suffer from anorexia nervosa
- 1% to 4.2% will struggle with bulimia nervosa
- 5% will be affected by binge eating disorder (BED)
A variety of factors contribute to the development of eating disorders, including societal pressures, neurobiological factors, trauma histories, family dynamics, and high levels of stress.
At Magnolia Creek, our therapeutic environment is designed to provide a whole-person approach to treatment. We explore the underlying issues and experiences associated with eating disorders, challenging the thoughts and behaviors that prevent women from fully living their lives.
Evidence-Based Treatment at Magnolia Creek
At Magnolia Creek, evidence-based treatment is at the heart of everything we do. We combine this with a holistic approach, providing comprehensive care in a welcoming, home-like environment. So, what sets our evidence-based treatment for eating disorders apart from other programs?
Our programs prioritize self-acceptance, validation, and personal empowerment, recognizing that each client is the most important member of their treatment team. The evidence-based treatment for eating disorders at Magnolia Creek is:
- Active rather than passive
- Collaborative rather than imposed
- Personal rather than detached
Our holistic program addresses the medical, nutritional, psychological, spiritual, social-emotional, and behavioral needs of our clients, ensuring they can achieve full recovery rather than simply managing their eating disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions.
