Eating Disorder Treatment Program for Teens
Eating disorders are serious mental health conditions that affect more than just a teen’s eating habits—they impact self-worth, emotional well-being, and physical health. Teens may feel ashamed, secretive, or out of control, often struggling to express what they’re going through.
At Silver State, our residential program offers a supportive and therapeutic space where teens can focus on healing without the pressure of daily triggers. We treat eating disorders as both medical and emotional conditions, using a team-based approach that includes therapy, nutrition planning, and consistent structure.
Whether your teen is restricting food, binge eating, purging, or avoiding food altogether, we meet them with empathy—not judgment—and guide them toward recovery one step at a time.
What is an Eating Disorder?
Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions that affect how someone thinks about food, body image, weight, and control. They often involve unhealthy behaviors such as restricting, bingeing, purging, or obsessive thinking around meals and appearance.
Common eating disorders in teens include:
Anorexia Nervosa – extreme food restriction, weight loss, and body image distortion
Bulimia Nervosa – cycles of binge eating followed by purging
Binge Eating Disorder – eating large quantities of food, often in secret, followed by guilt
ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) – extreme avoidance of certain foods or eating due to sensory issues, fear, or trauma
OSFED (Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder) – serious eating issues that don’t fit one diagnosis
Eating disorders can be life-threatening and often co-occur with anxiety, depression, OCD, or trauma. Early intervention can save lives—and restore hope.
Signs and Symptoms of Eating Disorders in Teens
The signs of an eating disorder aren’t always obvious. Teens may go to great lengths to hide their behavior, but early warning signs can include:
Sudden weight loss or gain
Skipping meals or eating in secret
Obsession with calories, food, or weight
Excessive exercise
Isolation from friends and family
Mood swings, depression, or anxiety
Digestive issues or dizziness
Irregular periods or fatigue
If you’re seeing signs like these in your teen, residential treatment can provide the structure and care they need to begin recovery in a safe, supervised setting.
Why Individualized Plans Matter for Teens with Eating Disorders
No two teens have the same reason for developing an eating disorder. That’s why we never use a one-size-fits-all approach. Every teen who enters our care receives a personalized treatment plan tailored to their unique emotional, behavioral, medical, and nutritional needs.
Our team includes licensed therapists, dietitians, medical staff, and mentors who collaborate to help teens restore a healthy relationship with food, their bodies, and themselves. We help them rebuild trust in the recovery process while developing long-term tools for emotional resilience.
Family involvement is essential. We work closely with parents and caregivers to ensure the support continues well beyond discharge—because healing doesn’t end at the facility door.
The Silver State Adolescent Approach
At Silver State, we believe every teen deserves the chance to heal from disordered eating with dignity and support. Our treatment model emphasizes compassion over control, and empowerment over punishment. We teach teens that they are more than their diagnosis—and help them begin the journey of rebuilding self-worth.
We focus on three pillars of recovery: emotional healing, medical stabilization, and nutrition restoration. We offer a safe, structured environment where teens can interrupt harmful behaviors and build a new foundation of wellness.
With experienced clinicians, daily therapeutic programming, and a deep understanding of adolescent mental health, we create a space where recovery is not only possible—it’s expected.
We’re here to support teens and families every step of the way.
