Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is characterized by recurring episodes of eating large amounts of food in a short period, accompanied by a feeling of loss of control. Unlike bulimia, individuals with BED do not engage in purging behaviors, which can lead to significant weight gain and related health issues.
CBT to Identify Triggers
At Virtue Recovery Las Vegas, our therapists use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help patients identify the emotional and situational triggers that lead to binge eating episodes. By understanding these patterns, patients develop healthier responses to stress, boredom, and emotional pain.
Residential Treatment
Our residential program provides a structured environment with supervised meals, nutritional education, and daily therapy sessions. This immersive setting removes external triggers and allows patients to focus entirely on recovery.
Outpatient PHP/IOP
For patients who need flexibility or are stepping down from residential care, our PHP and IOP programs offer continued therapeutic support while allowing gradual reintegration into daily routines.
Family Therapy & Trauma-Informed Care
Many individuals with BED have experienced trauma or use food to cope with emotional pain. Our trauma-informed approach addresses these root causes, and family therapy sessions help loved ones understand and support the recovery process.
