If you have been told that your child needs professional help for their eating disorder, you may be concerned about how best to choose from the eating disorder centers that are available to you. The first and most important thing to keep in mind is that if you are getting treatment for an adolescent that the treatment should be focused on adolescents. Teens and preteens have a completely unique set of issues from those of adults and this can have a significant impact on their recovery.
You should also look at the type of program eating disorder centers offer, whether it is a residential program, outpatient or something in between. What your child will need will depend largely on how deeply entrenched their disorder is as well as what treatments have been tried to this point in time.
Center for Discovery offers a uniquely adolescent eating disorder program, we recognize the distinct needs of teens with eating disorders and strive to offer them the support and tools they need to overcome their eating disorder.
