What is OSFED (Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorders)?

OSFED stands for Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder. It’s an eating disorder that doesn’t fit perfectly into categories like anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating, but it’s just as serious. OSFED includes a variety of symptoms from different eating disorders, like extreme concern about body weight, unhealthy eating behaviors, or purging without binge eating. These symptoms can harm your body and mind, and it’s important to know that just because it doesn’t match a specific label, it doesn’t mean it’s any less dangerous. Many people with OSFED don’t realize they have a disorder because they don’t meet the exact criteria for other eating disorders. However, OSFED can still lead to significant health problems, such as heart issues, digestive problems, or severe emotional distress. Getting help for OSFED is crucial to improve your overall well-being, and with the right treatment, you can regain control of your life and your relationship with food.

INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING for OSFED

Individual counseling is one of the key tools in helping people overcome OSFED. In these one-on-one sessions, you’ll work with a therapist specializing in eating disorders. Together, you’ll talk through the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors connected to your eating disorder. This is a safe space to open up about your struggles without judgment. Your therapist will help you explore why certain patterns have developed and help you find healthier ways to cope. Treatment modalities for OSFED usually consist of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing (MI) therapy.

Over time, you’ll work on changing negative behaviors and building new skills to manage triggers that lead to disordered eating. Individual counseling is personalized, so your treatment plan will focus on what you need to heal. It’s not a quick fix, but with patience and support, these sessions can help you gain control over your eating behaviors and lead to long-lasting recovery.

RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT for OSFED

Residential treatment at our luxurious Las Vegas facility offers a safe and structured environment where you can focus entirely on your recovery. In this program, you’ll live at our facility and receive round-the-clock care from a team of experts who specialize in eating disorders. The program provides a daily routine filled with therapy sessions, group activities, and medical care that help you learn to manage your OSFED symptoms.

In residential treatment, you’ll also have the opportunity to interact with others facing similar challenges. These connections help you build a sense of community and remind you that you’re not alone in your journey. With both individualized and group support, residential treatment provides the resources you need to address the root causes of your OSFED and develop the skills for lasting recovery.

FAMILY STYLE treatment for OSFED

Family support is often a key part of recovery from OSFED, and our family-style treatment helps bring loved ones into the healing process. Through family therapy sessions, we work with you and your family to improve communication and strengthen relationships. These sessions help your family better understand your eating disorder and learn how to provide the right kind of support. With guidance, families can become a powerful source of encouragement and stability during recovery.

Family therapy doesn’t just focus on the person receiving treatment—it’s also about helping family members cope with their feelings and concerns. Together, we work to create a supportive home environment that fosters healing. By involving the people closest to you in your recovery, family-style treatment ensures you’ll have a strong support network both during and long after you leave the program.

Trauma-Informed Care for OSFED

Trauma-informed care for OSFED

For many people, trauma plays a big role in the development of OSFED. Our trauma-informed care approach recognizes that past traumatic experiences can contribute to unhealthy eating behaviors. In trauma-informed care, we make sure that treatment is done in a way that feels safe and supportive, focusing on both your physical and emotional needs. This approach helps you explore how trauma may have affected your relationship with food and body image.

Trauma-informed care allows you to work through past experiences at your own pace. We understand that addressing trauma can be difficult, so we provide a compassionate, judgment-free environment where you can feel safe. By addressing both trauma and eating disorder behaviors, trauma-informed care helps you build healthier coping mechanisms and sets the stage for long-term recovery.
