Eating Disorders

Residential Treatment Centers

Submitted by jteichroew on

A residential treatment center (RTC), sometimes called a rehab, is a live-in health care facility providing therapy for substance abuse, mental illness, or other behavioral problems.  Please note that there are very few in-patient residential treatment centers that focus on anxiety and depression. Most centers focus on substance abuse.

Eating Disorders

Most people can find something they don’t like about their body, and many take steps to eat more healthfully or start an exercise plan to improve their appearance.

Those with eating disorders develop habits that can cause a great deal of harm. They may fast or severely restrict their calories, exercise for hours on end each day, or take other actions to prevent any weight gain. Even though they are often underweight, they have an intense fear of becoming fat.
