Finding Resources for Eating Disorder Treatment

If you or someone you care about is affected by an eating disorder, it is important to seek help!

Admitting you have an eating, exercise, or body image problem that requires treatment is difficult. We understand that taking those first steps to seeking help are filled with fear, anxiety, but also HOPE! Finding and getting the right help is essential! There are a variety of treatment options available: individual therapy, group therapy, nutritional support, psychiatric care, outpatient, inpatient, residential and we can help you locate these resources.

You are not alone, do not be afraid to take the first steps toward recovery.

The Eating Disorder Referral and Information Center is dedicated to the prevention and treatment of eating disorders. We provide information and treatment resources for all forms of eating disorders. The Eating Disorder Referral and Information Center was created to fill an important community need, that of providing prompt information to individuals needing assistance in finding eating disorder treatment in their area. We provide referrals to eating disorder practitioners, treatment facilities, and support groups. Referrals to eating disorder specialists are offered at no charge as a community service. In addition, we offer general information to the public about the treatment and prevention of eating disorders and we hope to promote social attitudes that enhance a healthy body image and self-esteem.

Those who would like eating disorder information or need a referral can contact The Eating Disorder Referral and Information Center by telephone, "snail" mail or by e-mail. The Eating Disorder Referral and Information Center is able to link those needing treatment resources with eating disorder professionals who provide individual, family, and group treatment. If an agency or treatment center can fit a client's needs better than a private practitioner, then the service will refer to that organization. nnn
