Breathe isn't a dedicated eating disorder treatment center. If specialized, intensive eating disorder care is your primary need, we're not the right fit on our own, and we'll help you find a program that is. What we offer is support for body image and emotional eating patterns in the context of treating substance use and mental health together, including depression, anxiety, and trauma when they're part of the picture.

Questions people ask about this support
Straight answers about fit, scope, and how this is addressed alongside your care.
Does Breathe treat eating disorders?+
Breathe isn't a dedicated eating disorder treatment center. What we offer is support for body image and emotional eating patterns in the context of treating substance use and mental health together. If specialized, intensive eating disorder care is your primary need, we'll help you find a program built for that.
I'm not sure if what I'm dealing with counts as an eating disorder. Should I still reach out?+
Yes. You don't need a diagnosis to have a conversation. If food, eating, or body image has become part of a harder picture for you, our admissions team can talk through whether we're the right fit.
Will my eating patterns be addressed even if that's not why I'm coming to treatment?+
Yes. If these patterns come up during your care, they're part of the conversation, not something set aside because they weren't the reason you first reached out.
What if I need more specialized eating disorder care than Breathe offers?+
We'll tell you honestly if that's the case, and help point you toward a program built specifically for that level of care.
Is this addressed differently for different genders or body types?+
Care is approached the same way regardless of gender or body type. No assumptions are made about who experiences body image or food-related struggles, it's addressed as part of your individual care, whoever you are.
Does insurance cover this kind of support?+
It's part of your overall treatment plan, not a separate billable program. Our admissions team can walk you through your specific coverage.
