Outstanding Treatment Outcomes. View our results here.

An eating disorder is a complex psychological and medical condition that can significantly impact an individual’s quality of life, relationships with others, and overall functioning without eating disorder treatment. Though an eating disorder may have once helped a person cope with circumstances in their life, it often leads to intense emotional pain and suffering. Without some form of intervention or treatment in specialized eating disorder treatment centers, an eating disorder can become chronic, have devastating emotional and physical consequences, and be potentially life-threatening.

Anorexia Nervosa

Anorexia nervosa, also referred to as anorexia, is a complex eating disorder that affects millions of people each year in the United States and around the world. Anorexia is characterized by a preoccupation with body weight or shape and limiting food intake, resulting in unhealthy weight loss. It may also be accompanied by other behaviors such as throwing up or vomiting after meals, the use of substances like diet pills, or intense exercising. Though it often develops during teenage years or adolescence, anorexia does not discriminate between age, gender, race or class.

Bulimia Nervosa

Bulimia nervosa, also referred to as bulimia, is a serious eating disorder that has potentially fatal medical and psychological consequences. It is characterized by repeated instances of eating significantly more food than what most people would eat in a short period of time, followed by one or more behaviors to attempt to compensate for the food eaten. These behaviors, also known as purging or compensatory behaviors, might include throwing up or vomiting, intense exercising, or the use of substances like diet pills or laxatives. Bulimia is associated with significant impairment in the individual's life and occurs, on average, once per week for at least three months.

Binge Eating Disorder

Binge eating disorder (BED) is the most common eating disorder in the United States, affecting an estimated 3.5% of women, 2% of men, and 1.6% of adolescents. It is characterized by recurring instances of binge eating, which can be described as eating large amounts of food in a short period of time accompanied by a loss of control. The binge eating occurs, on average, at least once per week for at least three months. Unlike anorexia and bulimia, people suffering with BED do not engage in purging or compensatory behaviors, such as throwing up or exercising intensely to counter the food eaten.

Orthorexia Nervosa

While Orthorexia is not officially recognized in the DSM-5, providers are seeing this more frequently in their practices and eating disorder treatment centers. Because it is potentially a precursor to developing a full-blown eating disorder, it is vital that therapists and dietitians know how to identify orthorexia. Orthorexia is a proposed distinct eating disorder characterized by extreme or excessive preoccupation with eating healthy food. The orthorexic client obsesses about healthy eating instead of obsessing about losing weight and being thin.

OSFED

Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (EDNOS) was a diagnosis in The Diagnostic & Statistical Manual (DSM-IV), the old version of the DSM. This eating disorder encompassed all other eating disorders and abnormal eating patterns that did not meet the strict criteria for anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder or avoidant-restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID). EDNOS was changed to Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorder (OSFED) which is now included in the current version of the DSM, known as The Diagnostic & Statistical Manual (DSM-V).

Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)

Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder, or ARFID, is a new diagnosis added to the DSM -5 in the category of eating or feeding disturbance. ARFID is characterized by an apparent lack of interest in eating or food, avoidance based on the characteristics of food, concern about aversive consequences of eating, as manifested by persistent failure to meet appropriate nutritional and or energy needs. There is often significant weight loss or failure to achieve expected weight gain, significant nutritional deficiency, dependence on enteral feeding or oral nutrition supplements, and marked psychosocial functioning.

Trauma

Traumatic lifetime experiences like death, illness, loss, abandonment or perception of abandonment, bullying, and forms of abuse significantly impact the psyche and physiological state of the individual. Trauma is also a subjective experience and individuals with a sensitive temperament may have the experience of trauma from situations that others may not perceive as traumatic. Exposure to prolonged states of stress caused by trauma can impact functioning and health and immunity, as well as lead to the development of an eating disorder and co-occurring disorders like depression and substance abuse.

Depression

Depression is the leading cause of disability in the United States for individuals 15-44 years of age. Major depressive disorder is characterized by a sad mood, inability to concentrate, loss of interest and other symptoms that affect how an individual thinks and feels. This disorder can result in stress at home, poor workplace performance, and turmoil in relationships. In adolescence or young adulthood, depression can also manifest as acting out or high risk behaviors and anger or rage.

Anxiety

Anxiety disorders consist of generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, specific phobias, panic disorder and agoraphobia and are characterized by an intense state of worry and fear resulting from a threatening event or life stressor. Anxiety can be normal in cases of everyday stress or serious life stressors and individuals usually overcome this worry once the stressor dissipates however in individuals with anxiety disorder, their state of worry becomes more intensified over time.

Reactive Attachment Disorder

Individuals with Reactive Attachment Disorder often show consistent emotionally withdrawn behavior towards caregivers often manifested as minimally responding or seeking comfort when emotionally distressed. Reactive Attachment also includes limited positive affect, episodes of unexplained irritability, sadness or emotional turmoil during what might be considered by most as nonthreatening interactions with caregivers and minimal social or emotional responsiveness to others. Reactive Attachment Disorder is characterized by a pattern of insufficient care such as neglect, physical or sexual abuse, or repeated changes between primary caregivers.

Self Harm or Self-Injury

Self-injury is the purposeful action of inducing physical harm to oneself and is a very severe sign of emotional distress. According to the Statistical and Diagnostic Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), self-harm is formally known as nonsuicidal self-injury disorder (NSSID) as these self-destructive behaviors are performed without any intention of suicide. Adolescents are at the highest risk for self-harm injury as many studies state that roughly 15% of teenagers and 17-35% of college students have inflicted self-harmful behaviors on themselves. This disorder is increasing among the young population and can have severe consequences if not treated appropriately. Cutting, burning, skin carving, biting, poisoning, purposeful interference with wound healing, extreme skin picking and hair pulling are all examples of self-injury or self-harm.

Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar affective disorder or manic-depressive illness is a mood disorder characterized by periods of profound depression that alternate with periods of excessive elation and irritable mood known as mania. Individuals will suffer from extreme mood swings that interfere with personal relationships, occupational function, and daily activities. It is common for bipolar disorder to be apart of a co-occurring disorder, which refers to mental health illnesses that co-occur with substance abuse disorders such as opioid, alcohol or cocaine abuse. Bipolar disorder can often co-occur with anxiety disorders such as generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder and when these disorders co-occur, there is a higher likelihood of substance abuse and suicide attempts. Bipolar disorder can be characterized into three types: bipolar disorder type I (BPI), bipolar disorder type II (BPII) and cyclothymia and differences depend on the frequency, duration and severity of the alternating symptoms.

Substance Abuse Treatment Centers

Drug and alcohol abuse are continuing to rise in the United States and according to studies, 23.5 million Americans are addicted to alcohol and drugs and only 11% of those people are seeking substance abuse treatment. In 2016, the age-adjusted rate of drug overdose deaths in the United States was more than three times the rate in 1999 with 174 overdose related deaths per day - one every 8 1/2 minutes. The number one reason individuals are not seeking treatment for substance abuse is due to costs and access to substance abuse treatment. Because of this, at Center For Discovery we are in network with every major insurance company in the United States and offer payment plan options for out of pocket expenses.

Alcohol Abuse and Addiction

Alcohol use is the fourth leading cause of preventable death in the United States-approximately 88,000 lives are lost each year in the United States and 3.3 million worldwide from alcohol related deaths. Alcoholism affects individuals of all ages, genders, social classes, and nationalities. Alcohol affects several neurotransmitters, or brain communication chemicals, and when ingested results in central nervous system depression. Alcoholism can result in overdose and withdrawing from alcohol without the supervision of professionals can create central nervous system excitability resulting in seizures and even death.

Marijuana Abuse and Addiction

Contrary to popular belief, studies have shown that marijuana is a drug of addiction, tolerance, and dependence. Cannabis is composed of two main ingredients: delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, more commonly known as THC, and cannabidiol, which is commonly known as CBD. THC is known to produce the mind-altering effects associated with “high” whereas CBD is known to produce the proposed medicinal effects associated with marijuana. Negative side effects of marijuana abuse or addiction is what is commonly referred to as amotivational syndrome which refers to a loss of desire or interest in social or other activities, inability to concentrate, and lack of motivation to complete tasks.

Opiate Abuse and Addiction

Opiates range from heroin and opium or “poppies” or “poppy tea” which teens are abusing to prescription pills such as Vicodin or Oxycodone. The abuse potential for opioids begins at a young age, usually during adolescence or early adulthood and without proper treatment can continue into middle and late adulthood. Prescription opioids alone result in 46 deaths per day in 2012.

Hallucinogenics

Hallucinogens are a class of drugs used to enhance or alter mood, perceptions and emotions. A common misconception is that these drugs cause hallucinations, which by definition are false idea or beliefs when in reality; these substances are known to cause a change in thought and mood.
Today, hallucinogens are being abused by individuals as young as 12 years old. These agents are quite common among high school and college students due to their mind-altering effects however they come with serious side effects and addiction potentially. According to the 2013 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 229,000 Americans ages 12 and older reported current (past-month) use of LSD and 33,000 reported current use of PCP (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2013). Among high school seniors, salvia was significantly more popular than LSD or PCP.

Prescription Pill Abuse and Addiction

The most commonly abused prescription pills are: 1)opiates or pain medications like oxycodone, Vicodin (hydrocodone), and morphine, 2) benzodiazepines or “nerve pills” such as Xanax, Klonopin, Valium, or Ativan, and 3) stimulants (such as Adderall, Ritalin, and Concerta). While opiates have the highest abuse potential, benzo abuse resulted in 8,000 overdoses deaths in 2015 and is on the rise. Withdrawals alone can result in seizures and even death and therefore individuals taking benzodiazepines usually need to be slowly weaned in order to prevent deadly withdrawals. Stimulant abuse is also considered to be on the rise amongst high school students and young adults and of particular concern because those who abuse this class of medications are twice as likely to also binge drink.

Club Drug Abuse and Addiction

Ecstasy, “Molly,” 4-hydroxybutanoic acid (GHB), ketamine, rohypnol, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), and methamphetamines are all commonly abused club drugs. Club drugs were initiated during the rave phenomenon and popular among teenagers and young adults. Many of these club drugs are also known as designer drugs because they are synthetic or man-made as opposed to naturally occurring. Raves and clubs are usually associated with club drugs, which are often taken to induce a rush or energy, increase euphoria, stimulate the senses and heighten one’s sexuality. Club drugs can be extremely dangerous resulting in aggressive behaviors, lowered inhibitions, short-term amnesia and even death in some cases.

Drug and alcohol abuse are continuing to rise in the United States and according to studies, 23.5 million Americans are addicted to alcohol and drugs and only 11% of those people are seeking substance abuse treatment. In 2016, the age-adjusted rate of drug overdose deaths in the United States was more than three times the rate in 1999 with 174 overdose related deaths per day - one every 8 1/2 minutes. The number one reason individuals are not seeking treatment for substance abuse is due to costs and access to substance abuse treatment.

Alcohol use is the fourth leading cause of preventable death in the United States-approximately 88,000 lives are lost each year in the United States and 3.3 million worldwide from alcohol related deaths. Alcoholism affects individuals of all ages, genders, social classes, and nationalities. Alcohol affects several neurotransmitters, or brain communication chemicals, and when ingested results in central nervous system depression. Alcoholism can result in overdose and withdrawing from alcohol without the supervision of professionals can create central nervous system excitability resulting in seizures and even death.

Contrary to popular belief, studies have shown that marijuana is a drug of addiction, tolerance, and dependence. Cannabis is composed of two main ingredients: delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, more commonly known as THC, and cannabidiol, which is commonly known as CBD. THC is known to produce the mind-altering effects associated with “high” whereas CBD is known to produce the proposed medicinal effects associated with marijuana. Negative side effects of marijuana abuse or addiction is what is commonly referred to as amotivational syndrome which refers to a loss of desire or interest in social or other activities, inability to concentrate, and lack of motivation to complete tasks.

Hallucinogens are a class of drugs used to enhance or alter mood, perceptions and emotions. A common misconception is that these drugs cause hallucinations, which by definition are false idea or beliefs when in reality; these substances are known to cause a change in thought and mood. Today, hallucinogens are being abused by individuals as young as 12 years old. These agents are quite common among high school and college students due to their mind-altering effects however they come with serious side effects and addiction potentially. According to the 2013 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 229,000 Americans ages 12 and older reported current (past-month) use of LSD and 33,000 reported current use of PCP (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2013). Among high school seniors, salvia was significantly more popular than LSD or PCP.

Prescription Pill Abuse and Addiction

Read More...Read Less

The most commonly abused prescription pills are: 1)opiates or pain medications like oxycodone, Vicodin (hydrocodone), and morphine, 2) benzodiazepines or “nerve pills” such as Xanax, Klonopin, Valium, or Ativan, and 3) stimulants (such as Adderall, Ritalin, and Concerta). While opiates have the highest abuse potential, benzo abuse resulted in 8,000 overdoses deaths in 2015 and is on the rise. Withdrawals alone can result in seizures and even death and therefore individuals taking benzodiazepines usually need to be slowly weaned in order to prevent deadly withdrawals. Stimulant abuse is also considered to be on the rise amongst high school students and young adults and of particular concern because those who abuse this class of medications are twice as likely to also binge drink.
