Teens face pressures we could only imagine, making them vulnerable to eating any number of disorders and abuse problems. Teenage eating disorders bring with them special needs that need to be considered when treatment is sought. Treatment that is directed at teens has been found to be much more effective and successful and offers your child the greatest chance of success when trying to overcome their eating disorders.
Many teens also face a dual diagnosis, meaning that a substance abuse problem may accompany their eating disorder. Programs designed for teens should take this under consideration and also allow for other disorders to be treated at the same time. At Center for Discovery we focus on teenage eating disorders and all their special challenges, we offer a residential program specially designed for teens to help them recover and go on to live healthy happy lives.
