BULIMIA
Treatment for Bulimia in Adults at Growth Extended
Adults who are dealing with bulimia alternate between binging (consuming large amounts of food in a short time) and purging (expelling the food through self-induced vomiting, using laxatives or diuretics and engaging in excessive exercise). Typically, adults with bulimia have an unrealistic body image and struggle with low self-esteem, which further drives them to engage in harmful binging and purging.
The negative impact of adult bulimia can lead to serious medical problems ranging from tooth erosion, damage to the esophagus, depression, anxiety and more. However, with the right treatment for bulimia, adults struggling with this disorder can—and do—recover, going on to live healthy, happy lives.
The comprehensive adult bulimia treatment program at Growth Extended addresses not only the outward symptoms of the disorder but also any co-occurring conditions and underlying causes that may be present.
Treatment for Bulimia: Does it Work?
Anyone considering treatment for bulimia—either for themselves or a loved one—wants to know if it can be effective. It’s a simple question without a simple answer. At Growth Extended, we recognize that no two people are identical. Naturally, adult bulimia treatment that works for one person, isn’t guaranteed to work for the next person. So, our approach to treatment is to create customized programs tailored to the specific needs of every client who turns to us for help. In our experience, personalized treatment for bulimia yields the best results.
