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.

Our Comprehensive Approach to Anorexia Treatment

Our approach to anorexia treatment at Casa Leona is rooted in compassion, clinical expertise, and individualized care. We address not only the physical aspects of the disorder but also the emotional, social, and psychological factors that contribute to its persistence.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Many clients with anorexia also face co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, depression, or substance use. Our dual diagnosis treatment ensures all conditions are treated in a coordinated and effective manner.

Family-Based Therapy (FBT)

FBT, or the Maudsley Approach, empowers families to play an active role in the recovery process. Especially effective for adolescents, this therapy supports healing within the home environment.

Individual and Group Therapy

Using evidence-based modalities like CBT and DBT, we help individuals explore the root causes of anorexia, build emotional resilience, and develop healthier coping mechanisms.

Nutritional Counseling

Our licensed dietitians create personalized meal plans and offer education to restore proper nutrition and reduce food-related anxiety. Clients learn how to nourish their bodies without fear or guilt.

Medical Monitoring

Given the serious physical consequences of anorexia, we offer close medical supervision, including regular monitoring of vital signs, weight stabilization, and lab assessments.

Relapse Prevention and Aftercare

Long-term success requires ongoing support. Our aftercare planning includes practical tools for managing triggers, building accountability, and sustaining healthy habits beyond treatment.
