About Focus Treatment Centers

Focus Treatment Centers recognizes that various forms of eating disorders are serious and complex illnesses that manifest through a variety of factors.

As a Center of Excellence, Focus provides gold-standard treatment modalities with experienced and compassionate professionals in the fields of psychology, nutrition, and psychiatry.

Our multi-disciplinary approach offers an emotionally and medically safe environment to encompass treating the full spectrum of disordered eating.

Focus specializes in “dual diagnosis” treatment, which is designed to address co-occurring issues of trauma, substance abuse, depression, and/or anxiety in addition to eating disorders.

Support and education throughout the treatment process is provided by our experienced and caring staff, who believe that full recovery from an eating disorder is possible.

We practice clinical excellence through established therapeutic models. Our treatment techniques include:

Somatic Attachment Trauma Therapy Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Dialectical Behavior Therapy Nutrition Classes and Meal Planning Family Therapy Shame Resiliency Self-Compassion Work Mindfulness and Spirituality Interpersonal Neurobiology Addiction Treatment (for those with co-occurring addictions)

Every patient is valued for his/her unique journey and individual needs, with whole-person care as the basis of every treatment plan.

Choosing treatment is life-changing, courageous, and at times, challenging.

Focus understands the struggle and is available for support at every step of the journey via phone call, email, or text.
