Eating Disorder Treatment
At Rader Programs we want those millions of individuals suffering from eating disorders like Anorexia, Bulimia or Compulsive Overeating to know three vital facts: It’s not your fault; You are not alone; We can help.
We understand how your lives are controlled by food and that gaining or losing weight has become the focus of your existence. We are familiar with the guilt, isolation, depression and shame that you endure. Whether the behavior is compulsive overeating, binge purging, or self-starvation, there’s one thing in common - you are suffering from an eating disorder which can be fatal if left untreated.
With professional support, lifelong recovery and freedom from an eating disorder can be achieved. The key to recovery is to understand the cause of the self-destructive behavior and to acquire the tools to facilitate the necessary changes. This is the core of the Rader Programs' philosophy.
We believe that eating disorders develop as a survival mechanism to help individuals cope with life. For this reason, we not only address the mistaken beliefs underlying eating disorders but also teach each individual new, positive coping techniques to handle life's situations.
Rader Programs is different from most other eating disorder treatment programs. Other eating disorder programs typically employ a reward and punishment system. We do not. Why? Because such systems are ineffective. Individuals with eating disordered behavior have already spent enough time punishing themselves. Rader Programs' approach focuses on the individual. All aspects of the individual's life are explored and addressed in a supportive environment. We do not concentrate solely on the symptoms of the eating disorders, or emphasize dieting. Instead, individual, family, and group counseling, as well as nutritional guidance, exercise training, and educational sessions are all combined to create the path toward recovery.
