Bulimia Treatment

Break Free from Bulimia and Rediscover Balance and Self-Worth

Bulimia nervosa is a serious eating disorder that involves recurring episodes of binge eating followed by purging or other compensatory behaviors. These cycles can deeply impact a person’s emotional, physical, and social well-being. At Star City Recovery, we provide compassionate and individualized treatment that addresses both the symptoms and underlying causes of bulimia, helping individuals rebuild a healthy relationship with food and self-worth.

Understanding Bulimia Nervosa

Bulimia is marked by episodes of consuming large amounts of food in a short time, followed by behaviors such as vomiting, fasting, or excessive exercise to prevent weight gain. These behaviors are typically driven by deep emotional distress, body image issues, and a desire for control.

Common symptoms include:

Frequent binge-purge episodes and extreme dieting behaviors
Preoccupation with food, weight, and body shape
Physical signs such as fatigue, dental issues, and gastrointestinal problems
Emotional struggles like guilt, shame, anxiety, and low self-esteem

Bulimia can be linked to trauma, perfectionism, and difficulty regulating emotions. If left untreated, it may cause serious health complications, including electrolyte imbalances, digestive disorders, and heart issues. Understanding and addressing the emotional triggers behind bulimia is key to lasting recovery.
