What is Binge Eating Disorder?

Struggling with binge eating, or any eating disorder, can be overwhelming and debilitating. Binge-eating is a serious eating disorder that involves frequent consumption of unusually large amounts of food and feeling unable to stop eating.

Almost everyone overeats on occasion, such as having seconds or thirds of a holiday meal. But for some people, excessive overeating that feels out of control and becomes a regular occurrence crosses the line to binge-eating disorder. It is the most prevalent eating disorder in the United States, affecting up to 5% of men, women and teenagers. Overeating can create many uncomfortable and dangerous physical symptoms over time.

Recognizing Binge Eating Disorder Symptoms

Many signs and symptoms of binge eating are quite easy for people close to the individual to see. Because of the large quantities of food typically eaten, many clients seeking binge eating disorder treatment have above-average weight. Many individuals recognize these symptoms in themselves, but may feel too much shame to seek treatment. Therefore, it is often up to family and friends to encourage those experiencing it to seek binge eating disorder treatment.

Binge Eating Disorder Treatment

Residential Binge Eating Treatment

Residential treatment is the highest level of care offered at Eating Disorder Solutions. Our center offers a quiet, peaceful, recovery-focused space for addressing the root causes of disordered eating and other harmful habits to help you build toward a healthier future.

During residential treatment for binge eating disorder, our clients receive three peer supported, supervised meals and snacks per day as planned by our staff nutritionist and dietitian. Between meals, clients participate in processing groups and individual therapy sessions to begin addressing underlying traumas and co-occurring mental health conditions. Our weekly experiential therapy groups include trips to local restaurants, grocery stores, and other fun outings to challenge disordered thinking and enrich the recovery process.

Partial Hospitalization for Binge Eating

As part of our full continuum of care, our partial hospitalization program helps support early recovery during the transition between residential and outpatient care, helping our clients stay on the path of recovery and achieve their goals.

Eating Disorder Solutions’ partial hospitalization program keeps the focus on daily binge eating treatment while allowing clients to return home or to our transitional housing at the end of each day. At this stage of care, clients receive three supervised meals and two snacks during the course of treatment and continue to participate in group and individual therapy. Clients are responsible for a final snack each night and weekend meals to begin practicing new life skills in real world scenarios.

Intensive Outpatient Program for Binge Eating

Similar to our partial hospitalization program, our intensive outpatient program helps to maintain long-term recovery through peer support, group and individual therapy sessions, and other resources to keep clients on the right path. Treatment is three to five days a week depending on specific continued care needs. At this level of care, our primary focus is sustaining the positive lifestyle and behavioral changes while also providing a safe space for processing challenges as they arise.

Eating Disorder Solutions’ outpatient treatment center is conveniently located near downtown Dallas, TX and accessible by car, bus, or train. We offer flexible scheduling options to allow you to get the help you need while working, going to school, or tending to other obligations. Additionally, as a member of the EDS recovery community, our clients and alumni gain access to support resources such as our active online alumni community, so you know help is there whenever you need it.

The Impact of Binge Eating if Left Unchecked:

If BED is allowed to progress without treatment, it could result in several serious physical complications. Common side effects of binge eating include:
  • Heart disease
  • Diabetes
  • Gastrointestinal distress
  • High cholesterol
  • High blood pressure
  • Gallbladder disease
Many people with binge eating disorder also have concurrent mental illnesses, such as depression, anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. BED along with these concurrent issues can create a very poor quality of life, can destroy key relationships and can cause trouble at work. For the best chance of long-term recovery, binge eating disorder treatment must focus on both physical and emotional manifestations of the disorder as well as on the mental roots of the problem to be effective.
