The Meadows Ranch is a place where eating disorders don’t define an individual. The individual defines their treatment. Programs are tailored to meet the specific needs of each patient. Because eating disorders often occur with other co-occurring issues such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse, or trauma, we accompany group and individual therapy with other innovative treatment approaches.
Treatment as a Verb
Treatment is an active process that requires participation. As we treat women and girls for anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, compulsive overeating, and other food-related disorders, we use a variety of methods, from proven therapies to experiential offerings and cutting-edge approaches, which all combine to create a comprehensive program that gets results.
Change, emotional growth, and personal empowerment are all among the benefits of participating in eating disorder treatment at The Meadows Ranch, where we work with patients to help them develop the skills needed to make the healthy choices required for lasting recovery.
Therapy Methods
Individualized patient treatment plans employ a wide range of trusted therapies, including:
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Meal Exposure Therapy
- Trauma Resolution
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
- Exposure and Response Therapy (ERP)
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Experiential Therapies
Patients also participate in experiential therapies to create a genuinely diversified therapeutic approach. As patients progress through structured experiential therapy activities at The Meadows Ranch, they are provided opportunities to experience successes, identify obstacles, develop improved self-esteem, and take greater responsibility for their actions. The feeling of being able to overcome challenges helps patients feel that they are capable of doing what they thought was impossible and gives them confidence over their eating disorder.
Experiential options include:
- Equine Therapy
- Expressive Arts
- Music & Movement
- Group Recreation
- Yoga
- Creative Writing
- Challenge Course
