"Casa Palmera Eating Disorder Treatment Center Helps Families Recognize Signs Of Anorexia And Bulimia"
Recognizing that a family member has an eating disorder isn't always easy. Those with anorexia and bulimia hide the condition well, with only a small percentage of the estimated 11 million people in the United States who have these eating disorders ever seeking treatment. The Casa Palmera eating disorder treatment facility in Del Mar, California, helps families recognize the signs of anorexia and bulimia and get their loved ones into treatment as soon as possible. The anorexia and bulimia treatment programs at Casa Palmera heal both the body and the mind, allowing clients to live healthy lives again.
June 2010 – Did you know that fatigue and thinning hair can be signs of anorexia? And that callused knuckles and broken blood vessels in the eyes might indicate bulimia? Casa Palmera begins helping clients long before they check into the eating disorder treatment facility, by educating their families about the signs of anorexia and bulimia. The facility for anorexia and bulimia treatment offers extensive information on its website – CasaPalmera.com – plus counseling by live chat and phone, so that families can better understand the condition before approaching a loved one about treatment.
CasaPalmera.com lists 10 symptoms for each of these diseases, to give families a starting point. For anorexia, the website includes more-obvious symptoms such as extreme weight loss and constant complaints about weight loss, and less-obvious signs such as dry skin, susceptibility to cold, thinning hair and dehydration. Families who see these symptoms in a loved one can call Casa Palmera to learn the next step toward anorexia treatment.
For bulimia, the website lists signs families easily can spot, such as going to the bathroom after meals and binge eating. It also lets families know to look for swollen cheeks or jaw as signs that a loved one might need to undergo Eating Disorder Treatment at Casa Palmera, specifically the bulimia treatment program.
Both the bulimia and anorexia treatment programs at Casa Palmera are holistic, involve a 5-to-1 staff-to-client ratio, and revolve around four core elements: medical/psychological, lifestyle, complementary medicine and environmental.
As part of the medical/psychological core, a client receives a complete assessment upon arrival at the eating disorder treatment facility. Both aspects are monitored throughout the treatment program, which involves therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral, body image and relapse prevention. Family members join the client during anorexia and bulimia treatment so that they can continue to learn about the conditions and be a part of the healing process.
Within the lifestyle core, a client takes part in nutritional counseling to learn the basics of healthy eating, and to set achievable goals for during bulimia and anorexia treatment at Casa Palmera and after. Clients feel an increase in energy as a result of this core, as well as improved sleep patterns and a strengthened immune system.
The complementary medicine core involves mind-body support for the client. She takes part in meditation, self-hypnosis, yoga, and tai chi classes in a state-of-the-art fitness center, to learn how to better control stress and calm her mind. Acupuncture, therapeutic massage and nutritional supplements also support this core element of the bulimia and anorexia treatment programs.
The final core element of Casa Palmera's eating disorder treatment programs is environmental, and it is the facility itself. Spanning 37,000 square feet, the Spanish-influenced accommodations rival that of a five-star hotel. A client can request a private room or stay with another client in a double. There are numerous areas for relaxation, including a meditation garden and koi pond.
