Bulimia Treatment

Rebuild Your Relationship with Food, Body, and Self in a Safe Healing Space

"We treat these conditions in conjunction with substance use, not independently."

A Cycle of Control, Shame, and Emotional Pain

Understanding Bulimia Nervosa

Bulimia involves repeated episodes of consuming large amounts of food, followed by actions to “undo” the effects, such as vomiting, fasting, or excessive exercise. This cycle is often secretive, fueled by guilt, distorted body image, or fear of weight gain.

Common signs and symptoms include:

Binge eating followed by purging or restrictive behaviors
Obsession with food, weight, and calories
Avoiding meals or eating in secret
Frequent bathroom visits after eating
Fatigue, sore throat, or dental issues from vomiting
Low self-esteem, shame, or feelings of loss of control

Substance use may be used as a way to suppress appetite or numb emotional pain, but it ultimately intensifies the disorder. Integrated treatment is essential to lasting recovery.
