Eating Disorder Rehab Centers

Eating disorders can cause stress and concern for the family members of the person suffering from them. Doctors have categorized several types of eating disorders, including anorexia and bulimia. Organizations throughout the country work to help those with eating disorders overcome the condition and go on to lead productive lives.

  1. The Ranch

    • The Ranch provides treatment for several of the most common eating disorders including bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa and binge eating. Located in Nunnelly, TN, the program intentionally limits itself to nine clients at a time. The program also deals with co-morbid issues including addiction, depression and anxiety. Therapists, nutritionists and medical staff members work with clients to address all their needs while going through treatment. Using food logs, exposure to "fear foods" and working with nutritionists to develop healthy eating habits, clients learn to socialize with others during meal times to remove the secrecy of eating. Clients must submit to weekly weigh ins during which they do not learn their weight. Emotional counseling as well as relaxation classes including yoga and horseback riding round out the total treatment plan that can last up to one year. It is a residential program.
