Eating Disorder Recovery That’s Fit for Real Life
For over 25 years, Center for Discovery has been helping thousands of patients recover from eating disorders using our Real-Life Recovery approach. We offer effective teen, adult, gender affirmative and LGBTQIA+ inclusive programs in our residential, partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient care with proven results within the first week. We are also proud to offer a unique Stars & Stripes Program to serve those who serve. Our therapeutic practices help patients know when/ how to use effective coping skills for avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), binge eating disorder, anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, orthorexia nervosa, other specified eating disorders and co-occurring disorders like anxiety, depression, PTSD and OCD. CFD’s outcomes are excellent, with 86.3% of patients who discharged at or above 90% total body weight maintaining their weight post-discharge. Patients demonstrated a 99.3% reduction in binge behaviors and 97.9% reduction in purge behaviors upon completing treatment. We CARE and Believe All Foods Fit
Healing, growth and a positive relationship with food is possible with the Center for Discovery Dietary Program. We use the CARE Model, which stands for “consistent attuned relational eating.” This means patients have the steadiness of a dietary plan that is adaptable to what’s happening in their life. We believe in Health at Every Size because everyone can be healthy regardless of size, shape, weight or BMI. We encourage Intuitive Eating — nourishing ourselves when we’re hungry and recognizing when we feel full. We utilize the All Foods Fit model, which celebrates that all foods are nourishment, and no foods are off-limits in moderation. These core elements help our patients walk out of treatment feeling engaged, empowered and transformed so that they can manage long-term recovery. In fact, 86.5% of clients who completed treatment didn’t need to return to Center for Discovery or any other program for a higher level of care for eating disorder treatment.
