Bulimia Treatment

Break the Cycle and Reclaim Your Health, Confidence, and Peace of Mind

Bulimia nervosa is a complex and often hidden eating disorder characterized by recurring episodes of binge eating followed by purging, fasting, or compulsive exercise. These behaviors are typically fueled by emotional pain, low self-worth, and a need to regain control. When paired with substance use, the risks to both mental and physical health become even more severe.

At Innervisions Recovery Center, we provide compassionate, dual diagnosis care for individuals struggling with bulimia and co-occurring substance use. Our goal is to help clients break free from destructive patterns, address underlying emotional wounds, and restore a healthy relationship with food, body image, and self.

Understanding Bulimia Nervosa

When Shame, Control, and Food Collide
Bulimia involves repeated episodes of uncontrolled eating, often followed by purging behaviors such as vomiting, laxative use, or excessive exercise. These cycles may be driven by anxiety, guilt, or a deep fear of weight gain—regardless of actual body size.

Common signs and symptoms include:

  • Binge eating followed by purging or restrictive behaviors

  • Preoccupation with food, calories, and weight

  • Avoiding meals or eating in secret

  • Frequent trips to the bathroom after eating

  • Sore throat, dental issues, or digestive discomfort

  • Emotional distress including guilt, shame, or self-criticism

Bulimia affects not just the body but also the heart, mind, and relationships. Left untreated, it can lead to electrolyte imbalances, cardiac issues, and long-term psychological distress. At Innervisions, we help clients untangle the deeper emotional and behavioral roots of the disorder—especially when substance use is part of the cycle.

Our Comprehensive Approach to Bulimia Treatment

Our program offers a multi-faceted and individualized approach that addresses both eating disorder behaviors and substance use through evidence-based therapies, nutritional support, and emotional healing.

Our treatment includes:

Take The First Step

The Journey to Recovery Starts Here

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

We treat bulimia alongside co-occurring mental health and substance use conditions—ensuring that all contributing factors are addressed together for more sustainable results.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps individuals identify distorted thinking around food, weight, and self-worth, and empowers them to replace harmful behaviors with healthier coping skills.

Family-Based Therapy (FBT)

Particularly effective for adolescents, FBT engages loved ones in the healing process, helping them support nutritional restoration and emotional recovery at home.

Nutritional Counseling

Our dietitians develop realistic, balanced meal plans and work with clients to reduce anxiety around eating while repairing physical health and body image.

Medical Monitoring

Due to the physical complications of bulimia, we monitor vitals, hydration, and organ function closely, intervening when needed to protect client safety.

Relapse Prevention and Aftercare

We help clients recognize triggers, strengthen self-care routines, and stay connected to long-term support through customized aftercare planning.
