Eating Disorders Treatment
Meals become a source of dread, and family dinners turn into standoffs that leave everyone worn out. At Skilton Institute, our clinicians treat anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating with genuine care, including when an eating disorder shows up alongside substance use. Real recovery is possible, and we help you build it.
Treating Eating Disorders
Meals can turn into a private battle: counting, avoiding, or feeling like food controls the day. That is exhausting to live with, and it is exhausting to watch a loved one struggle through. At Skilton Institute, eating disorders are treated with licensed therapy that gets at the thoughts and habits underneath the behavior, plus medication management when it is clinically appropriate.
Alongside that clinical work, you build practical coping skills for real situations, like sitting down to eat with family or handling a rough afternoon.
When substance use shows up too, we treat both together through integrated dual-diagnosis care, because addressing one while ignoring the other rarely holds. Steady progress is possible, and you do not have to sort it out alone.
