Eating Disorders Treatment Center

Eating Disorders Treatment Center (EDTC) is the only facility in the state of New Mexico dedicated to the treatment and recovery of eating disorders. Using a collaborative approach, EDTC offers dietitian services, personal therapy, psychiatry services, and group therapy to help each patient reach their individual goal. They can treat the most common disorders, anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder, as well as other eating disorders such as night eating syndrome, laxative abuse, body image distortion, and body dysmorphia. In addition, EDTC can treat other behavioral health issues like obsessive compulsive disorder, trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar, and dissociative identity disorders.
EDTC has tailored IOPs for adolescents, adults, and binge eating disorder. For all IOPs, patients will receive a nutritional evaluation and 1-on-1 counseling with one of their staff dietitians. Dietitians will work with patients to help them meal plan and build a simple, nutritious meal to eat with the group each evening. At the conclusion of the meal, their therapists work with patients to process the experience. Various evidence-based and expressive therapeutic methods are used throughout treatment.
Both the adolescent and adult programs meet from 4:15pm until 7:15pm 4 days each week. One session each week is devoted to family focused treatment where patients and their families will work together on issues. For the adult program, patients can bring in significant others or family members who are important in their recovery. The binge eating disorder IOP focuses on helping people of all ages and genders experiencing symptoms of binge eating disorder. The program is designed to help people discover and address the roots of their symptoms, work towards finding peace with food, and develop healthy coping skills. This program includes a monthly meeting of the individual’s family/support group to help facilitate psychoeducation and relationship building.
The PHP operates from 12:30pm until 6:30pm Monday-Friday, with an extended hour for family programming on Tuesday nights. Throughout treatment, patients are provided 2 meals and 1 snack daily under the guidance of registered dietitians and dietary aides. The program includes group instructional and counseling sessions, individual counseling, and medical and psychiatric evaluations. Patients will be exposed to various expressive and experiential therapies and will meet with a registered dietitian weekly to monitor personalized meal plans.
EDTC offers nutritional counseling services to everyone, not just individuals with a diagnosed eating disorder. Their staff dietitians will address nutritional status and eating disorders, provide weight monitoring when appropriate, and encourage healthy thinking and behaviors about food. They will provide tailored nutrition education and recommendations, explore patient’s relationship with food and body image, and set appropriate goals in working toward intuitive, healthy eating. Staff are trained to address a variety of nutrition and dietetic issues like diabetes, celiac disease, irritable bowel syndrome, weight management, and more.
