Anorexia Treatment

Heal Your Body, Strengthen Your Mind, and Embrace Recovery

Anorexia nervosa is a serious and complex eating disorder marked by an intense fear of gaining weight and a distorted self-image. Individuals often go to dangerous lengths to control their weight—through extreme dieting, excessive exercise, or restrictive behaviors—placing their physical and mental health at serious risk.

At Innervisions Recovery Center, we treat anorexia only when it occurs alongside substance use. Our compassionate team understands the deeply rooted emotional pain behind these behaviors. Through personalized, evidence-based care, we help clients regain physical health, improve emotional well-being, and rebuild a healthy relationship with food and self-worth.

"We treat these conditions in conjunction with substance use, not independently"

Understanding Anorexia Nervosa

When Control Over Food Becomes a Coping Mechanism
Anorexia nervosa affects every aspect of a person’s life—from physical functioning to emotional health and social connection. It is driven by an overwhelming fear of weight gain, often despite being significantly underweight, and a distorted perception of one’s body.

Common signs of anorexia include:

  • Severe restriction of food intake or obsessive calorie control

  • Intense fear of gaining weight, even when underweight

  • Preoccupation with body size, shape, or dieting

  • Over-exercising, purging, or use of diet pills/laxatives

  • Fatigue, brittle hair, poor circulation, or menstrual irregularities

  • Mood changes such as irritability, anxiety, or withdrawal from others

Anorexia may occur alongside conditions like depression, anxiety, trauma, or substance use. Many individuals use food control as a way to manage emotional distress—making an integrated treatment approach essential for long-term healing.

Our Comprehensive Approach to Anorexia Treatment

At Innervisions Recovery Center, we offer individualized care for anorexia when it coexists with substance use. Our treatment addresses both the emotional patterns behind disordered eating and the behaviors associated with addiction.

Our integrated program includes:

Dual Diagnosis Care That Supports the Whole Person

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

We treat anorexia alongside co-occurring substance use and mental health conditions—addressing the underlying drivers of both for sustainable recovery.

Family-Based Therapy (FBT)

Also known as the Maudsley approach, FBT actively involves family members in the recovery process—particularly effective for adolescents. Families are empowered to help guide the client’s nutritional restoration and emotional healing.

Individual and Group Therapy

Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based methods, clients learn to challenge distorted beliefs around food, body image, and control.

Nutritional Counseling

Registered dietitians develop personalized meal plans and help clients overcome food fears, educating them on balanced eating and mindful nourishment.

Medical Monitoring

Due to the physical dangers of anorexia, we provide regular health assessments, monitoring vital signs and addressing any complications that may arise.

Aftercare and Relapse Prevention

Long-term recovery requires continued support. Our aftercare planning equips clients with tools to manage triggers, maintain progress, and access ongoing care post-treatment.
