Compulsive Eating Disorder Treatment Program for Teens

Compulsive eating, also known as emotional or uncontrolled eating, is more than just overeating. It’s a complex behavior often rooted in deep emotional pain, anxiety, or stress. Teens may feel driven to eat in large amounts even when they’re not hungry—and may feel shame, guilt, or distress afterward.

At Silver State, our residential treatment program creates the space teens need to step out of this cycle. With 24/7 support, structured routines, therapeutic meals, and individualized therapy, we help teens begin to understand the “why” behind their eating behaviors—and guide them toward real, lasting change.

We focus on healing—not blame—and help teens rebuild a positive connection with food and themselves.

What is Compulsive Eating Disorder?

Compulsive eating disorder involves frequent, repeated episodes of uncontrolled eating—often triggered by emotional stress, anxiety, sadness, or boredom. Unlike Binge Eating Disorder, these episodes may vary in size and frequency, but still result in a feeling of loss of control and emotional distress.

Compulsive eating is not about laziness or lack of willpower. It’s a mental and emotional health concern that can be tied to trauma, body image issues, low self-esteem, or difficulty regulating emotions.

Our program treats compulsive eating at its root—through therapy, emotional support, skill-building, and nutrition—not through dieting, restriction, or shame.

Signs and Symptoms of Compulsive Eating Disorder in Teens

It can be difficult to recognize when a teen is struggling with compulsive eating, especially if they’re hiding the behavior or feel ashamed. Common signs include:

  • Frequent eating episodes, especially at night or when alone

  • Eating rapidly or past the point of fullness

  • Using food to cope with stress, sadness, or anxiety

  • Difficulty stopping or controlling eating once started

  • Feelings of guilt, shame, or distress after eating

  • Withdrawal from social situations or meal avoidance with others

  • Preoccupation with food, dieting, or weight

  • Fluctuating weight and body dissatisfaction

If your teen is showing any of these signs, our residential program can help them regain control and begin to heal.

Why Individualized Plans Matter for Teens with Compulsive Eating Disorder

Each teen’s journey with compulsive eating is different. Some may be reacting to emotional trauma, while others are overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or pressure to look a certain way. That’s why every teen at Silver State receives a fully individualized treatment plan.

These personalized plans may include:

  • Individual therapy and trauma work

  • Nutritional guidance without restriction or shame

  • Supervised therapeutic meals

  • Emotional regulation skill-building

  • Group therapy and peer support

  • Family therapy and education

  • Holistic therapy (movement, art, mindfulness)

We also support teens with relapse prevention planning and aftercare coordination to ensure long-term success.

The Silver State Adolescent Approach

At Silver State Adolescent Treatment, we believe teens deserve compassionate care that honors both their emotional pain and their potential for healing. Our residential program gives teens the space to pause, reset, and begin developing healthier relationships—with food, emotions, and themselves.

We don’t treat compulsive eating with judgment or diet plans. We treat it with empathy, clinical expertise, and a whole-person recovery model that supports emotional and physical well-being.

Recovery isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress, understanding, and connection. And it starts here, with a team that never gives up on your teen.
