Integrated Eating Disorder Services
At Breathe Life Healing Centers, we understand the deep impact eating disorders can have in active addiction. For many, disordered eating is more than just a food issue, it’s a coping mechanism tied to trauma, control, shame, and emotional regulation. Eating behaviors often mirror substance use patterns, driven by the same underlying struggles. That’s why we’ve integrated eating disorder support into our Substance Use Disorder (SUD) treatment program, because treating one without the other isn’t enough for true healing.
An Integrated Trauma-Informed Approach
We treat eating disorders as co-occurring conditions alongside addiction, using a trauma-informed model that addresses both simultaneously. Clients participate in therapeutic programming that includes targeted nutrition interventions, support around emotional eating, and structured coaching to promote habit change, consistency, and long-term adherence. Our approach is collaborative and compassionate, meeting each client where they are in their recovery journey.
Nutrition & Food Philosophy
Our team uses evidence-based, weight-neutral nutrition counseling grounded in the principles of:
Health at Every Size® (HAES)
All Foods Fit philosophy
Intuitive Eating tools
Clients receive education and coaching to help reduce fear around food, develop body trust, and move away from restrictive or compensatory eating behaviors. We don’t moralize food, we help clients build a more peaceful, balanced relationship with it.
Body Image & Emotional Wellness
We offer a dedicated Body Image Process Group where clients explore how identity, shame, trauma, and body image intersect in recovery. This group supports all body sizes and gender identities through open, inclusive conversations rooted in HAES and body neutrality. The goal isn’t to “fix” the body, it’s to challenge internalized stigma and cultivate self-compassion.
Get Help Today
When eating disorders and addiction are treated together, in a supportive, inclusive, and trauma-informed environment, lasting change becomes possible. Our integrated approach at Breathe helps clients heal not just from behaviors, but from the beliefs that fuel them. Recovery is not about perfection, it’s about connection, compassion, and coming home to yourself.
