Eating disorder treatment options can be overwhelming and may be limited by finances, geography, or not knowing where to begin.
There are a variety of eating disorder treatment approaches dependent upon the resources available to the individual:
For many, Eating Disorders Anonymous (EDA) is a helpful resource as well as other 12 Step Programs. A fellowship of individuals who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problems and help others to recover from their eating disorders, they offer hope that people can and do fully recover from having an eating disorder. The free support groups help one another identify and claim milestones of recovery, which means living without obsessing on food, weight and body image. Go to http://www.eatingdisordersanonymous.org for information on in-person, telephone and online group meetings.
The Eating Disorder Support Groups at SupportGroups.com is for individuals, friends and families who are looking to connect during life's challenging times. Share personal experiences, evaluate information and get support during times of need, illness, treatment or recovery.
