Specialized Eating Disorder Treatment
Specialized Eating Disorder Treatment
Fairwinds Treatment Center treats eating disorders in adults. Their on-staff nutritionists, dieticians, physicians, and therapists offer meal support, nutrition education, and a safe healing environment. They provide eating disorder care in an inpatient setting with 24/7 monitoring, a residential setting, and in outpatient settings (day treatment, IOP, and standard outpatient).
Non-Diet Approach
Non-Diet Approach
Fairwinds Treatment Center uses a non-diet approach to help clients heal from eating disorders. They focus on normalized eating behaviors and total health, not ideal weight. Treatment promotes non-emotional eating and mindful movement over rigid exercise routines. Staff at Fairwinds Treatment Center additionally share a respect for all body types, not idealized stereotypes.
Treating Co-Occurring Mental Health Conditions
Treating Co-Occurring Mental Health Conditions
Fairwinds Treatment Center treats mental health conditions that may occur alongside eating disorders. They address anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and underlying trauma. Initial assessments help diagnose mental health conditions and allow their team to create an appropriate treatment plan.

Care Options

Levels of Care

Eating disorders interfere with healthy eating habits, potentially causing weight changes, poor mental health, and physical harm. Treatment addresses underlying thoughts and beliefs, aiming to heal relationships with food. Weight restoration and other medical interventions stabilize physical health.
Residential
Residential eating disorder treatment provides intensive medical and therapeutic care in a safe, structured setting with 24/7 monitoring, meal-time support, therapy, and services for weight restoration as needed.
Day Treatment
In a PHP, patients live at home but follow an intensive schedule of treatment. Most programs require you to be on-site for about 40 hours per week.
Intensive Outpatient Program
An intensive outpatient program (IOP) falls between inpatient care and traditional outpatient services, with therapy and skills-building activities designed to support recovery and provide flexibility. IOP is ideal for those needing support but not the 24/7 care of a residential facility.
Outpatient
Outpatient treatment offers flexible therapeutic and medical care without the need to stay overnight in a hospital or inpatient facility. Outpatient care typically offers a range of therapies and medical interventions individuals can attend alongside daily life.
Virtual & In-Home Care
Not Offered at This Center
The delivery of therapeutic services utilizing technology such as video conferencing, online messaging or phone calls, allowing for flexibility, comfort and increased access to care.
Intensive Inpatient
The highest level of care, medically managed with 24-hour nursing and physician care in a residential or medically-based setting, and can include any combination of medication, counseling and therapy.
Co-Occurring Disorders
Conditions like depression, substance use, and trauma can co-occur with eating disorders. Many programs provide co-occurring eating disorder treatment for comprehensive healing.
