An Eating Disorder Recovery House is where someone lives with other individuals also have eating disorders or issues around food. Theses houses can be safe places for people to talk about the things that keep them from getting better. If a person has gone to inpatient therapy, an eating disorder house has similar elements including being accountable to other house members, using support and 12-step groups as necessary, finding churches or other organizations that help people recovering from eating disorders and nutritional/exercise plans.

One of the main benefits of living in a eating disorder recovery house is that you realize how difficult the transition between inpatient treatment and the real world is. Some of the underlying issues that are dealt with in treatment including body image, low self-esteem, past abuse, PTSD, co-occurring mental and psychological issues, are all only touched upon in the first 30 days of treatment. A recovery house is a good means by which to continue to explore these issues so that relapse is less frightening that it seems.

Recovery homes can be facilitated at a weekly or monthly basis and offer all the amenities of home. Contact ED Treatment and find out if an eating disorder recovery home is right for you.
