Food Addiction & Eating Disorder Treatment
Eating disorders are often complex and the consequences can be devastating for all involved; the sufferer and their loved ones. At Delamere, our team of experts will help you overcome challenging eating disorders with food addiction treatment at our luxury private rehab in Cheshire.
Food addiction help at Delamere
Eating disorders are often referred to as being psycho-physical, meaning treatment must look at both the mind and body together. That’s why at Delamere, we offer a holistic approach to eating disorder treatment. In order to create a programme that meets your specific needs, our on-site medical team will first do a complete physical assessment to identify any serious risks or dangers.
This enables us to understand exactly what is needed from a physical standpoint. Phase 2 of our intensive four-phase eating disorder treatment programme looks at the underlying factors that drive the behaviour, offering activities such as somatic healing, both 1-1 and group therapy sessions, and creative arts as part of our programmes.
What makes Delamere different?
“I didn’t have trouble with alcohol or drugs but the therapist, mentors and staff helped me greatly in my depressed state. I can honestly say I became a better, happier person.” – Michael Theodorou, Former Delamere guest

When to seek eating disorder treatment
Each eating disorder has its own set of drivers, complications, and health risks. Thankfully, with the right help and support, eating disorders are treatable and you can build a healthier relationship with food.
People typically come into a rehab centre when their relationship with food has become dangerous to their health both physically and mentally. Suffering from an eating disorder can also quickly and easily lead to alcohol addiction or drug addiction. Often when people uncontrollably eat or purge after eating, they feel guilt and shame and want to hide away from the world. This can lead them to self-medicate to mask these feelings, creating a whole new set of problems to deal with. Similarly, eating disorders are normally accompanied by a number of mental health complications too.
It’s for this reason that our approach at Delamere is person-centric, treating the whole person rather than just the symptoms they present with.
All eating disorders have psychological issues at their root driving behavioural complications and creating all kinds of physical health problems. There are many different types of eating disorders but the three most common are:
- Anorexia nervosa.
- Bulimia nervosa.
- Binge eating disorder.
Whilst the signs and signs and symptoms of a food addiction or eating disorder are varied, there are some common clues including:
- Eating very infrequently/not at all or eating much more than intended.
- Looking pale, thin, or ill.
- Feeling guilty or shameful after eating or purging.
- Regularly using food as a coping mechanism.
- Hiding eating from others.
- High harm avoidance tendencies.
- Repeatedly failing at increasing/limiting your eating.
The Delamere approach to food addiction rehab
An inpatient stay at Delamere is a deliberately intensive 4-phase food addiction rehab programme, one which we have crafted over time and has helped many participants recover. Our emphasis is on holistic care to treat addiction and associated issues. This means that we treat the whole person rather than just the symptoms they present with. We believe that successful treatment runs far deeper than simply stopping the addictive substance or behaviour.
Our approach at Delamere comprises 4 core phases: Stop, Start, Grow, & Bloom. Everything we offer at Delamere aims at effective and lasting outcomes in addiction treatment:
Encouraging someone else to get treatment for an eating disorder
We understand exactly how difficult it can be to get someone to accept they have an eating disorder.

At Delamere, we provide family support services as well as intervention services and help your loved one confront the problem and any denial surrounding it.
If you are considering organising an intervention for your loved one, friend, or colleague, contact Delamere today.
