This is how we work with Our Eating Disorder Clinic In Cape Town

This clinic really is one of a kind as it possesses the ideal balance between both clinical professionalism and a welcoming and homely environment. Clients are always pre-assessed and checks have to be made before our overseas clients travel, because of the serious nature of many eating disorders and the impact on physical health. Once everybody is happy and ready, the client will book their flight and we will pick them up from the airport and transfer them directly to the facility where they will be given the best care and treatment for a three month period. After this spell we will look at the next most appropriate step, either an extension of their current stay in the treatment centre or an extended period of time in our secondary/tertiary facility or our fully supported sober living home, during which time they can mix with and become a part of the large and vibrant recovery community of Cape Town, joining in with all our associated activities. Our unique and special relationship with the clinic here ensures that we are always kept informed every single step of the way and any decisions or advice will always be given based purely on what is best for the individual client.
There are a small number of specific and diagnosable types of eating disorders and you can find more information about them on the main Eating Disorder Page of the website. We are extremely serious about ensuring that each of our clients receives, not only the best value for money with every one of our ‘CapeRecovery Experiences’, but is also given the most appropriate and complete individualised care possible. We are fussy about whom we work with and we only place our clients solely dependant on their individual requirements. We support them throughout the entire process and beyond and offer our unique level of support to all the friends and family back home. The great news for everybody needing help with food addiction or any eating disorder, who becomes a client of CapeRecovery's, is that we now partner with the single finest specialist eating disorder clinic in Cape Town and all our overseas clients can now be assured that they are receiving the best possible treatment available anywhere in the world at the lowest local prices possible and not the hugely inflated prices that many places continue to charge for often inappropriate treatment. Treating food addiction effectively is definitely possible and so is eating disorder recovery when it is managed in the correct way. It doesn’t really matter which category you or your loved one falls into, or even somewhere in between, food addiction treatment and eating disorder treatment is professionally assessed and appropriately treated at our incredible Cape Town clinic.

Food Addiction Treatment – Treating Food Addiction – How do we do it?

What is Food Addiction?

Many places don’t look at or indeed practice Eating Disorder Treatment and Food Addiction Treatment in the same way, some treat them as completely different, some treat them all as they would treat addictions and others find a balance someplace in between. This is because the lines between the two are sometimes blurred and it is also why time in a specialist clinic is the only truly effective way to determine exactly what it is that's going on. I do strongly believe and always make sure that all CapeRecovery clients suffering from one or both of these are initially treated in our highly experienced and professional eating disorder clinic. The thing is, with the lines between the two of them being blurred, the client has to be stabilised fully before any true and accurate diagnosis can be made. The key to the unique way that we treat clients is that we do not label them unnecessarily and we encourage them that there is always hope so we view it all as a process and as such, individualised treatment is the answer because every single person is different. I do not agree that eating disorder clients or indeed food addiction clients should ever be 'treated' in a mainstream rehab environment, in the initial stages, however and I would always advise our CapeRecovery clients from all around the world, those with any food issues, to attend our excellent eating disorder clinic in Cape Town.

Why are all the CapeRecovery food related problem and eating disorder clients treated differently and not in mainstream rehabs and treatment centres?

We truly want every single one of our clients to find recovery and to be treated appropriately and certainly not just placed in a rehab where they will only be contained and will not receive the specialist treatment that they desperately need. Sadly, this is actually happening here in Cape Town and there are still many people who say that they work with eating disorders but they simply cannot because they are not equipped and do not have the knowledge. These people are essentially destroying lives in order to make money and we must to stop this practice right away. It makes us mad and it is not only the treatment centres but psychologists, psychiatrists and even dietitians who are often taking on cases that they have no clue about.

I asked the clinical director of our incredible eating disorder clinic how we should work with these clients when treating food addiction and encouraging eating disorder recovery and she said……
”To work effectively with an eating disorder client means knowing and understanding the self hate, the grief and the identity issues that eating disorders thrive in. To work with eating disorder clients you must have strength, courage and be firm as no one wants to hear where they are going wrong, treating an eating disorder can get ugly. These are complex issues the person is facing up to and add in a bit of personality disorder or a co-morbid condition or dual-diagnosis issue and it really is hard work. Advice for anyone suffering would be to get talking about it. One of the reason eating disorders continue to thrive in society is because it is secretive and it is not taken seriously enough before it gets too late. Talk about the pain and get to a support group and ask people in recovery from eating disorders who they were treated by”
So, I listened to them and I do just that, so when looking for guidance of how to go about treating food addiction, I believe that this is the best place to send my CapeRecovery clients for the best eating disorder recovery and food addiction treatment and I have now formed a unique relationship with our incredible eating disorder clinic so book in today for a full CapeRecovery Eating Disorder or Food Addiction Experience.
At CapeRecovery our aim has always been to offer the most affordable mid to long term addiction treatment to everyone who wants recovery from any addiction (drug or alcohol), behavioural addiction (Porn, Love, Sex, Gaming, Gambling, etc), dual-diagnosis issue (including depression) and of course, eating disorder (including anorexia, bulimia, binge-eating and food addiction).
