Eating disorders manifest in various forms, but they all need to be treated in a centre where trusted and effective treatment methods are used. At Primrose Lodge, we offer holistic therapy for the treatment of eating disorders such as binge eating, bulimia and anorexia.

In our full-service facility, rest assured our fully-trained and experienced multi-disciplinary team of experts will deliver around-the-clock care for you. We are CQC registered and have the facilities and certification required to successfully treat eating disorders.

Counselling

For the best possible quality of holistic care, every client at our facility has a multidisciplinary team assigned to them, providing all the tools needed for a full, permanent recovery. To attain the ultimate goal of recovery, counselling and psychotherapy are added to the treatment plan.

There are two distinct forms which counselling can take: individual or one-to one counselling and group counselling. Each of these therapy forms has its own unique benefits and they’re often used to complement each other. While individual therapy is between you and the counsellor alone, group therapy is peer-based.

Nutrition, Diet & Weight Management

While counselling is important to get to the root of the problem and take care of the related psychological issues, an eating disorder visibly affects your physical health. Treatment could not be complete or even effective if your body is not taken care of as well. Our team of registered dieticians offer nutrition and diet management to help you overcome any eating disorders, including binge eating, bulimia nervosa and anorexia nervosa.

Taking your individual needs into consideration and with permanent recovery as the focus, the clinical medical team will work with our dietitians to provide therapeutic support while your food intake is normalised. With 24/7 care, you’ll have a safe and nurturing environment in which to get better.

If you have any questions regarding the details of our treatment programme for eating disorders, please phone us or live chat with one of our representatives.

Rehabilitation

Full, comprehensive rehabilitation is crucial for recovery from eating disorders, as opposed to nutrition therapy alone. The rehabilitation process begins with a preliminary physical check-up, which will include several health checks, as well as a weigh-in. Next, you’ll be placed on a strictly-controlled diet designed to return your body to a healthy function and weight.

Behavioural therapy then follows, allowing you to understand the underlying causes of your condition. The counsellor will also help you address the problem in a healthy manner. At Primrose Lodge, we have various rehab programmes, but our most comprehensive and intensive is the 28-day programme, which is designed to ensure that you’re treated not only physically, but also mentally and spiritually.

After you’ve recovered and have been released from the facility, you’ll continue to have regular meetings with therapists to reduce your chances of relapsing and to keep track of your progress.

Rehab Programme

If you or a loved one is dealing with an eating disorder, whether it’s binge eating, bulimia or anorexia, you don’t have to suffer in silence any longer. Our sister centre in Banbury, Oxfordshire, offers treatment for eating disorders and is one of the few facilities in the country to have a specialised programme for teenagers. You can spot an eating disorder by identifying some of these symptoms:

• Body dysmorphia, that is, seeing your physical size inaccurately.
• Extreme monitoring of calories and food intake.
• Using weight loss supplements.
• Exercising excessively.
• Using laxatives or forced vomiting.
• Deliberating avoiding food while lying about eating.
• Depression or anxiety about weight loss or gain.

Don’t waste another day with an eating disorder that’s costing you your health. You can learn more about our treatment locations and costs when you call us on 0203 553 9263. You can also speak to our treatment experts via live chat.

Rehab Benefits

Rehab is the best option for treating an eating disorder because it includes holistic treatments, nutritional counselling, and group support and therapy, all of which are necessary for full recovery. You’ll also get 24/7 care and supervision, as well as a supportive environment in which to get better. There are several other benefits to private rehab for eating disorders, including:

• Safe and comforting environment to recovery, away from triggers
• Identification with others suffering with an eating disorder
• Healthy structure around food, nutrition and weight management
• It gives you time to heal, away from the stress and worries of daily life.
• Regular group and one-to-one therapy
• Removal of shame, guilt and embarrassment around your illness

16 -18 Treatment

The teenage years are particularly sensitive years for many people, with teens having body image issues which can develop into serious eating disorders. Our sister centre in Banbury, Oxfordshire, offers world-class treatment for eating disorders, not only for adults, but also for teens between the ages of 16 and 18.

Being one of the few facilities in the country to offer treatment specifically for adolescents, you can expect your teenager to get specialised care that is best suited to them in our facility. Please reach out to us today to find out about our teen treatment programme.

1 Year Free Aftercare

Once rehab is complete, recovery isn’t necessarily over and done with. With eating disorders, you or a loved one may have to continue getting professional help for several months or even several years after formal treatment.

We know how important it is to stay on track after treatment, but we’re also aware of how difficult it can be, so we offer free aftercare for a year, which includes phone support, one-to-one therapy, weekly sessions and outpatient support. While we want to get you to a healthy weight, we are more interested in ensuring you can sustain recovery on your own.

In Summary

Eating disorders can be dangerous to your health, so it’s best to get treatment as soon as you possibly can. Not only can they affect your physical health, but they can also be detrimental to your mental and emotional health, so a comprehensive intervention is essential for full recovery.

Your loved ones won’t be left out of the loop either because your condition is bound to affect them. You can begin the treatment process today by picking up the phone and dialling 0203 553 9263. Whatever questions you may have regarding treatment programmes or locations, we’ll gladly answer them.
