About Eating Disorders Treatment
At Santa Cruz Drug Rehab, we understand the complex relationship between eating disorders and addiction. Our directory features treatment centers that provide integrated care for individuals struggling with both conditions.
The Eating Disorder-Addiction Connection
According to the National Eating Disorders Association, up to 50% of individuals with eating disorders abuse alcohol or illicit drugs, compared to 9% of the general population. Both conditions share similar risk factors, including trauma, low self-esteem, and family history.
Common reasons for co-occurrence:
- Using stimulants (cocaine, amphetamines) to suppress appetite
- Using alcohol to cope with shame and body image distress
- Replacing one compulsive behavior with another during recovery
- Shared personality traits like perfectionism and impulsivity
- Common underlying trauma or emotional dysregulation
Types of Eating Disorders
- Anorexia Nervosa: Severe food restriction, fear of weight gain, distorted body image
- Bulimia Nervosa: Binge eating followed by purging (vomiting, laxatives, excessive exercise)
- Binge Eating Disorder: Recurrent episodes of eating large amounts without purging
- OSFED (Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorders): Serious eating problems that don't meet full criteria for other diagnoses
Integrated Treatment Approach
Treating eating disorders and addiction together is essential because addressing only one often leads to worsening of the other. Integrated treatment programs have expertise in both conditions.
Medical Stabilization
Both eating disorders and substance use can cause serious medical complications. Medical teams monitor vital signs, manage refeeding if necessary, and oversee safe detoxification.
Nutritional Rehabilitation
Registered dietitians help restore healthy eating patterns, address nutritional deficiencies, and work through food-related fears and rituals.
Evidence-Based Therapies
- CBT-E (Enhanced CBT for Eating Disorders): Addresses distorted thinking about food, weight, and shape
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Builds emotional regulation and distress tolerance
- Family-Based Treatment (Maudsley Method): Involves family in refeeding and recovery
- Body Image Therapy: Addresses distorted perceptions and promotes body acceptance
Addressing Underlying Issues
Treatment explores the emotional functions of both eating behaviors and substance use. Trauma therapy, anxiety treatment, and depression treatment may be integrated.
