"Casa Palmera Eating Disorder Treatment Center Heals Both The Body And Mind"
More than 11 million people in the United States have an eating disorder. These are secretive disorders, with only 30 percent of those suffering from anorexia seeking treatment and less than 10 percent of those who have bulimia receiving care. The staff at Casa Palmera – an eating disorder treatment center in Del Mar, California – understands that because of the shame felt by someone suffering from an eating disorder, treatment must be holistic to be successful. The anorexia and bulimia treatment programs at Casa Palmera heal both the body and mind, allowing a client to regain control of her life.
May, 2010 – Eating disorders continue to plague our population. More than 10 million women and 1 million men suffer from anorexia or bulimia, according to the National Eating Disorders Association, with only a small percentage receiving treatment. When someone does take that positive step toward a healthier life, Casa Palmera is there to help with its innovative eating disorder treatment. The bulimia and anorexia treatment programs take a holistic approach that incorporates four core elements to heal both the body and mind.
The first core element involves the medical and psychological aspects of treatment. Each client receives a complete physical and psychological assessment upon arrival. She is then monitored throughout her treatment in both areas. The eating disorder treatment programs use several therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioral, body image and relapse prevention. Bulimia and anorexia treatment programs also involve family therapy so that loved ones affected by the disorder can learn more about it and be a part of the healing process.
Lifestyle is the second core element incorporated into the Eating Disorder Treatment programs at Casa Palmera. Each client receives nutritional counseling that teaches the basics of healthy eating, and achievable health goals are set to be met during treatment and after. An increase in energy, a better quality of sleep and a strengthened immune system are just a few of the results of this core element of the anorexia and bulimia treatment programs.
The third core element involves mind-body support. A client in one of Casa Palmera's eating disorder treatment programs takes meditation, yoga, tai chi and self-hypnosis classes so that she may learn how to control stress and calm her mind both during treatment and after. Acupuncture, therapeutic massage and nutritional supplements also contribute to this core element of the bulimia and anorexia treatment programs.
Casa Palmera itself is the fourth core element. The Del Mar facility spans 37,000 square feet of space and features contemporary Spanish architecture. Accommodations are luxurious, and a client can chose to stay alone or with another client in a semi-private room. There are meditation gardens and a koi pond on the grounds, as well as an organic vegetable garden and a state-of-the-art fitness center.
In addition to the four core elements that make up its holistic approach to bulimia and anorexia treatment, Casa Palmera boasts experienced staff members and board-certified physicians. The staff-to-client ratio is 5:1.
