Life Changing Treatment for Eating Disorders

How Eating Disorder Solutions Is Different

Whether your eating disorder is newly developed or you've been struggling for years, know that recovery is possible. Our holistic approach can help you restore your physical health, repair your relationship with food, and teach you healthy coping skills for lifelong recovery.

We offer individualized, trauma-informed treatment that focuses on each aspect of your personal healing process. It’s imperative that you feel safe, cared for, and prioritized. Every diagnosis is different, with various co-occurring disorders. No condition is too “basic” and no condition is “too far gone.”

While other eating disorder treatment facilities can feel institutionalized and intimidating, our location radiates healing and tranquility in a comfortable, homelike environment. This is not a locked-down facility. We allow for autonomy within your recovery; you have a voice in your treatment. If something is not working for you, we quickly adapt and change your treatment based on your needs and healing process.

We pride ourselves on ‘staying human’. Although this is a medical center, we stay in tune with your emotions, feelings, and behaviors. Every day, you will be surrounded by people who care and understand the gravity of your condition. We exude compassion, love, and understanding.

Eating Disorder Recovery Stories

“This is completely opposite of a clinical facility. I felt incredibly relaxed here, capable of opening up and sharing what I was going through without feeling like I was doing so in a hospital or strict atmosphere. I don’t ever feel like I was rushed through my treatment plan, and I think that’s absolutley essential […]

“It was life-changing. I no longer felt alone. I had people around me who understood. I just feel like I gained so, so much of my life back that I lost.”

“I want other people to know that there are people like them that went through this process. And I want them to come here, I want them to be happy, and I want them to find their purpose and advocate for themselves. I never felt like I could accomplish anything because of my eating disorder, […]

“I’ve seen them turn people’s lives around; they’ve turned mine around. I feel like I got control of my life again. I have clarity; I can problem-solve. There are all kinds of things that I have learned here that will definitely benefit my life moving forward.”

“This is a healthy amount of anxiety to place yourself under in an environment where there are people who are there to help you recover and stay by your side when you need them. There are peers to help you, staff to help you, and an amazing outdoor environment to reestablish yourself in connection with […]

“My stay here has been really transformational…they’ve really taken my whole being into account, so I’ve been able to address all parts of myself that have been holding me back in life.”

I don’t feel that heavy depression weighing me down anymore, and I feel like I can actually open up and talk to people about the things that I kept inside of me for most of my life. I’m finally where I want to be.”

“I’ve never been with a staff where they care so much. You can tell they love to be here; it shows in how they care for us.”

“The team treated me like an adult who had a voice in the process, not someone who needed to be parented.”

Integrated Treatment

Our eating disorder treatment center in Texas provides integrated programs that address the underlying causes of eating disorders while also treating physical symptoms and nurturing a new, healthier relationship with food.

Individualized Care

Overcoming an eating disorder is a personal and transformative journey. At Eating Disorder Solutions in Dallas, TX, we will guide your journey through an individualized full continuum of care.

Nutritional Support

Our nutrition philosophy is that all foods are good foods in moderation. We believe in an individualized meal plan as each client is not the same.

You Deserve Recovery

We often hear "I'm not sick enough for treatment" or "it's not that bad." Your eating disorder lies to you - it makes you believe that you’re not sick enough, or you don’t deserve care, treatment, or recovery. If you have an unhealthy relationship with food or your body, you need to get help. Eating disorders are extremely serious and complex psychological conditions. If left untreated, they can get progressively worse and cause social, emotional, and physical harm.

Regardless of how much time has already passed, recovery is always possible and is most definitely within your reach. Our experienced, multidisciplinary team can diagnose and treat your specific condition through various modalities such as behavioral therapy, recovery coach guidance, dietary support, psychiatric care, access to medical nurses and doctors, and more.

"It's so important to reach out for support, especially when it feels hardest to do that. I shed a lot of tears going into treatment and making that decision and putting things in my life on hold, and I would say that it's worth it. You can find people who will help you and make this work. There absolutely is a place that can help you. EDS does a great job at figuring out specifically what you need.” - Tori, EDS Alum

Everyone is Welcome

Eating disorders can affect anyone and can cross any demographic, cultural, gender, or financial lines. Eating disorders don’t discriminate - and neither do we. Unfortunately, research shows that the LGBTQ+ community is at a higher risk of developing an eating disorder. This is often associated with past trauma and difficulties in coming out. It’s important for those in the LGBTQ+ community who are struggling with an eating disorder to receive specialized treatment in a supportive community. We’re here to help – contact our team to start your journey to recovery.

Levels of Care at our Texas Eating Disorder Treatment Center

Residential Treatment

Our eating disorder treatment center in Texas offers a residential program that provides 24/7 care in a safe, supportive environment free of daily stressors. The focus of residential treatment is to work on mental and physical stability in order to lay a strong foundation to enable progress in recovery.

Partial Hospitalization

Offered 5 days per week, partial hospitalization offers the same compassionate care as residential programs while allowing you to return home in the evenings. The focus is on addressing underlying stressors and triggers that led to the eating disorder and developing new coping skills.

Intensive Outpatient

Offered 3-5 days per week, a flexible schedule allows you to spend time with family and friends, work part time or go to school. You will begin applying newly developed coping and life skills in real-world situations with continued guidance from our team of specialists.

Common Types of Eating Disorders

Eating disorders cover a broad spectrum of mental and physical health conditions that are typically categorized as follows: Anorexia Nervosa (AN), Bulimia Nervosa (BN), Binge Eating Disorder (BED), Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), and Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder (OSFED). Many individuals may experience more than one type of eating disorder. Therefore, Eating Disorder Solutions focuses on the individual, not his or her diagnosis, to better understand the underlying cause and best treatment approach for each client.
