[Denver, 6/20/2017] – With over 15 years of eating disorder treatment experience, EDCare runs the extra mile for its patients by continuously enhancing their approaches. In terms of anorexia care, the Denver-based center applies evidence-based treatment approaches to help patients successfully achieve recovery.

“Anorexia can devastate a person’s physical and mental health, and ruin relationships with the people she or he loves,” says EDCare of the condition.

To prevent the consequences, the recovery center offers a more personalized approach that helps patients recover at every level—mind, body, and spirit.

Addressing the Risks of Anorexia

According to The National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders, Inc. (ANAD), 30 million people of all ages suffer from an eating disorder; every hour, at least one person dies directly from it.

EDCare adds that extreme food restriction substantially slows down the body’s processes, resulting in lower blood pressure, slower heart rates, and damaged heart muscles. Apart from heart problems, anorexic individuals are also at risk for kidney failure, muscle loss, and brittle bones.

To determine whether a loved one is suffering from anorexia, the center lists down the following as symptoms of the condition:

Fear of weight gain

Inadequate food intake

Troubled self esteem

Improper view of weight loss

Through a therapeutic approach, the recovery center helps patients detach from rigid behavior patterns, manage fears, and make positive life changes.

Different Care Options

EDCare’s anorexia treatments (both individual and group sessions) include Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Its multifaceted approach of experiential therapies help patients establish healthier eating patterns, as well as hone their attitudes about weight and shape. Patients are also welcome to participate in group therapies to help them connect with others going through the same experience.

The center also believes that recovery from an eating disorder is a life-long focus. They encourage anorexia patients to stay connected through their comprehensive Outpatient Treatment Program, which sustains and supports patients in their long-term recovery.
