(Persistent Disturbances in Eating Behaviors)
About Disordered Eating:
Disordered eating is characterized by severe and persistent disturbances in eating behaviors, often emerging during adolescence or early adulthood. It is quite prevalent, affecting approximately 9% of the U.S. population.

How it works
The diagnosis and treatment for disordered eating is done with a multidisciplinary staff and includes behavioral and pharmacological interventions, as well as psychotherapy. At Red Sands, our qualified providers are equipped to screen, diagnose, and develop comprehensive treatment plans. We collaborate closely with other members of your care network (physicians, school counselors, family, etc.) to ensure coordinated, effective care.
What to Expect
The primary goal for individuals with disordered eating is physical and mental stability.
