Anorexia Treatment
Restore Health and Rediscover Balance Through Compassionate Care
Anorexia nervosa is a severe eating disorder that distorts body image and drives individuals to engage in dangerous behaviors to avoid weight gain. This condition can have devastating consequences for both physical and mental health, leading to malnutrition, isolation, and life-threatening complications. At Casa Leona Treatment Center, we provide individualized, trauma-informed treatment to help individuals reclaim control of their health, rebuild their relationship with food, and move forward in recovery with strength and hope.
"We treat these conditions in conjunction with substance use, not independently"
Understanding Anorexia Nervosa
Anorexia is a complex disorder that often stems from deep emotional distress, low self-worth, and a need for control. It involves severe food restriction, intense fear of weight gain, and a distorted perception of body image. Without intervention, anorexia can lead to dangerous physical complications, including heart damage, electrolyte imbalance, infertility, and organ failure.
Common Symptoms of Anorexia Include:
Persistent fear of gaining weight despite being underweight
Severe calorie restriction or avoidance of entire food groups
Excessive exercise or use of laxatives, diuretics, or diet pills
Distorted body image and obsession with appearance
Fatigue, dizziness, hair loss, and signs of malnutrition
Social withdrawal or isolation from friends and family
Anorexia is not simply about food—it’s a deeply rooted mental health issue that requires professional care, understanding, and long-term support. With the right treatment, recovery is possible.
