At Center for Discovery we offer intensive residential specialty programs for adolescent females and males with eating disorders. Anorexia and bulimia focus around food and may involve restricting, bingeing and purging. At Discovery we want to help teens and their families regain a healthy life.

Anorexia: Adolescents with anorexia starve themselves and become extremely thin. Both females and males diet obsessively, are preoccupied with food, calories, and nutrition. Those with eating disorders deny hunger, may exercise excessively, weigh constantly and may suffer from depression.

Bulimia: Teenagers with bulimia may consume large amounts of food and then purge by vomiting, laxatives, diuretics or exercise. Both females and males may follow strict diets, frequent the restroom during and immediately after meals, become extremely secretive, and have depressive moods.
