Thank you for helping me find a great rehab. I am really glad I called. Privacy was a big concern for me. Alan was very knowledgeable about all the top-tier rehabs and helped me narrow it down to the ones where I could be sure my privacy would be respected. " |

Janet J. "I just want to say thank you. You found me a rehab center where for the first time I was able to get the healing I needed in a quiet, private space without constant attention. All I could hear when I woke up in the morning was the sound of the ocean and the birds. It was exactly the kind of space I needed to heal." |

| Have You Been Diagnosed With An Eating Disorder? |
 |
| Filed under: Eating Disorder — admin @ 7:40 pm |
The battle against depression is an increasingly relevant one in America. Every year, thousands of people across the country are diagnosed with depression and depression-related diseases. The good news is that many of them go on to win the fight. The key, of course, is finding a proper treatment program.
Depression is not a choice and neither is addiction. No one ever “decides” to succumb to the disease. Often, depression is caused by a number of issues, for example, an eating disorder and alcohol addiction. By the same token, no one ever simply “decides” to get better. Depression recovery and eating disorder treatment
, on the contrary, is always a product of professional medical intervention. If you’re going to get better, in other words, it’s going to be because you get the right kind of help from the right kind of people in a rehab center.
There are a great many depression treatment facilities in Malibu. Many of them fail to deliver on their promises. At least one, though, is capable of helping you get where you need to go. In conjunction with its drug and alcohol treatment programs, the center offers dual diagnosis and depression therapies that are renowned around the world for their effectiveness. Don’t wait any longer to take the first step. You owe it to yourself, and to the people who care about you, to learn the truth on your own terms.

| Being a victim of an eating disorder can kill you |
 |
| Filed under: Eating Disorder — Suki @ 2:08 pm |
An eating disorder is a disease, not a choice. Like all diseases, it can’t simply be willed or wished away. You wouldn’t expect someone to overcome diabetes without professional medical help. The same is true of eating disorders. If you or someone you care about is a victim, eating disorder treatment is the last best hope you have to get better. For your own sake, don’t force yourself to learn that lesson the hard way.
The good news is that eating disorder treatment really does work…but only for those patients who are willing to seek it out. No one can heal you against your will. No one can help you beat an eating disorder if you won’t first enroll in an eating disorder treatment program. If you’ve made it this far, you already know that anorexia and bulimia strip victims of their dignity, and their hope. Now you know what you can do about it. Given the stakes, you can’t afford not to make the right choice.

| You can't beat an eating disorder without eating disorder treatment |
 |
| Filed under: Eating Disorder — Suki @ 4:36 pm |
You can’t beat an eating disorder without eating disorder treatment. Period. An eating disorder is not a choice. No one ever decides to suffer from anorexia or bulimia. By the same token, no one can ever simply decide to get better. Eating disorders result from concrete pathological roots, which can only be eradicated with competent clinical care. The good news is that the right eating disorder treatment program can make a world of difference. The only catch is that you have to seek it out.
Remember, no one can help you if you refuse to be helped. Eating disorder treatment doesn’t work by magic. If you’re going to get better, it’s going to be because you find the courage to enroll in a treatment facility. Make no mistake, the day you start eating disorder treatment is the day you start rediscovering life as you used to know it, and yourself as you used to be. All you have to do is make the right choice. Given the stakes, any other course of action is simply unacceptable.

| Eating Disorders |

| Filed under: Eating Disorder — Suki @ 7:37 pm |
An eating disorder is any condition in which an individual has an unhealthy relationship with food and the act of consumption. Eating disorders can entail undernourishment, as in the case of anorexia and bulimia, or overnourishment, as in the case of binge eating and overeating. In any event, an eating disorder is always the product of an underlying psychological disturbance, and thus can only be overcome with the help of acute psychological care. No one ever chooses to be a problem eater. And no one can ever just simply choose to get better. On the contrary, if you’re going to master your disease, it’s going to be because you get help from people you can trust.
It’s important to note here that an eating disorder can often stem from the same underlying condition that causes addiction. In that sense, addiction treatment and eating disorder treatment are to a significant degree different sides of the same process. A successful addiction treatment program is one that addresses and heals the whole addict. Eating disorder recovery, where relevant, has to be part of the equation. Anything less simply isn’t good enough.

| It surprises many people to learn that overeating can be indicative of an underlying psychological disorder |
 |
| Filed under: Eating Disorder — Suki @ 6:57 pm |
It surprises many people to learn that overeating can be indicative of an underlying psychological disorder. In fact, chronic overeating is a disease, no less so than anorexia or bulimia…or diabetes or hypertension, for that matter. Overeaters are not weak-willed, or gluttonous. They do not overeat because they choose to. They overeat because they’re sick. An eating disorder, in other words, is never the product of a rational decision. And eating disorder recovery can never be achieved without competent clinical care.
If you or someone you care about is a victim of overeating, you need help from counselors and therapists you can trust. Successful eating disorder treatment is that administered by compassionate professionals. What’s more, successful eating disorder treatment has to be holistic in scope. Overeating results from both physiological and emotional causes. Only treatment that addresses both roots can ever help patients get sober for good.

| Not eating wasn't just a choice I made |
 |
| Filed under: Eating Disorder — Suki @ 3:16 pm |
You’re eating disorder is not a choice. It is not an indication or personal weakness, or a sign of moral failure. Most importantly, is not something to be ashamed of. Too many eating disorder victims don’t get help because they don’t want to admit they have a problem. Please, don’t make the same mistake. Your isn’t your fault…but you can’t get better until you find the courage to seek eating disorder treatment. With so much to lose, and so much more to win, you just can’t afford to do anything less.
If you’re here, you shouldn’t need to be told that eating disorders are disastrous for their victims. The good news is that eating disorder treatment can help. Anorexics and bulimics get better in eating disorder treatments centers. They really do. The key, of course, lies in having the courage to seek care in the first place. For your own sake, make today the day you finally do the right thing.

You can’t ignore an eating disorder into submission. If you or someone you care about is an eating disorder victim, not talking about the problem very certainly won’t make it go away. On the contrary, if you’re going to get healed, you’ve got to get help from eating disorder treatment professionals. Nothing less could ever be good enough.
The truth about eating disorder treatment? It is ultimately what you make of it. To get healed, you’ve got to engage with the process, and commit yourself to the fight; it isn’t enough to simply enroll in an program and then wait for someone else to do the heavy lifting for you. When you check into an eating disorder treatment center, your future is quite literally in your hands.
If you’ve made it this far, you already know how destructive an eating disorder can be. Now, it’s incumbent upon you to do something about it. Knowledge without action, after all, isn’t good for much of anything…and your journey to eating disorder recovery has got to start with a first step. For you own sake, make today the day you start putting one foot in front of the other.
