Bulimia Treatment & Rehab - Honolulu

At Exclusive Hawaii Rehab, we believe that treating an eating disorder is similar to treating a drug or alcohol addiction. Eating disorders are a condition that is developed from underlying causes, usually past painful memories or traumas and negative self-narratives that impact your ability to respond in a healthy manner to triggers or stressors in life. Identifying what is at the core of your eating disorder will help you develop a new path for healing and managing the ups and downs of life while still holding your physical and emotional health in the highest regard. 

Bulimia is an eating disorder that is characterized by the actions of binging and purging. Individuals will often consume large amounts of food, even at times when they are not hungry, and then use various methods of ridding their body of the calories consumed whether it be through self-induced vomiting, the use of diuretics, using laxatives,  taking weight loss supplements, or performing personal enemas. Typically, in between these binge eating sessions, individuals will fast for long periods of time and may engage in unhealthy patterns such as excessive exercise and following strict eating patterns or diets to monitor their weight. Individuals engaging in bulimic behaviors for a long time run the risk of serious health consequences if their eating disorder continues untreated including the following:

  • Fertility complications and issues with menstrual cycles 
  • Compromised bone density and potential osteoporosis or osteopenia 
  • Decay in tooth enamel and gums 
  • Severe dehydration levels lead to kidney disease 
  • Long term digestion issues including IBS 
  • Chronic acid reflux and irritated esophagus can lead to cancer 
  • DIfficulty managing social relationships due to impacted self-esteem and self-worth 
  • Increase in mental health concerns including depression and anxiety 
  • High risk for developing suicidal ideations
  • Muscle cramps and weakness 
  • Bloating 

Your eating disorder is personal to you and you will have your own underlying reasons that have led to your current views of body image and relationship with food. Eating disorders can be triggered by:

  • Societal pressure to be thin or look a certain way 
  • Poor body image 
  • Bullying that is targeted around your appearance 
  • Family norms placed upon eating and expectations around finishing your food 
  • Engaging in dieting from a young age to work towards a certain body image 
  • Previous history of trauma 
  • Having a history of childhood obesity or weight gain that is due to lack of education around healthy eating habits 
  • Participating in sports or activities that require participants to have a certain body type including various sports or hobbies such as modeling or dancing 
  • Underlying co-occurring behavioral or emotional disorders such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, or depression 

Whatever your underlying cause may be, our team at Exclusive Hawaii Rehab will help you uncover what has been behind your eating disorder behaviors and develop new methods of coping and managing stressors and triggers in the future to maintain a healthy body image and eating pattern.

Why Choose Exclusive Hawaii Rehab for Residential Bulimia & Eating Disorders - Honolulu

Exclusive Hawaii Rehab is the top choice for addressing your eating disorder and healing from the underlying causes for it through our whole-person integrated approach to treatment. While other treatment centers place an emphasis on healing through the 12 steps models, we believe that to truly heal from the emotional turmoils of your past your rehab program needs to be geared towards your own personal history and needs. That is why we offer each patient a customized treatment program that utilizes comprehensive approaches for treatment that include traditional therapy, alternative therapeutic measures, and holistic measures of treatment. 

Exclusive Hawaii Rehab offers patients opportunities to heal through the following methods:

  • Trauma-informed therapy  where you can address your previous traumas and emotional pains that have impacted your self-worth and esteem 
  • Person-centered therapy- treating you as a person rather than treating the eating disorder 
  • Engaging in modern therapy methods including emotional freedom technique, stimulus belief response, and life contract therapy 
  • Addressing your own self-esteem and image through therapeutic methods of redefining self-narrative therapy, mission therapy, journaling, and personal development  
  • Healing within the serene setting of Honolulu with nature immersion and experiential therapy. You can connect with nature through therapeutic activities such as swimming with dolphins, surf therapy, hiking active volcanoes, exploring world-renowned botanical gardens, and swimming in the pacific ocean 
  • Focus on nutritional well being with one on one sessions with a nutritional counselor and access to holistic treatments such as vitamin supplementation, IV therapy to replenish your body of the vitamins and minerals that you are lacking, and meals prepared for you by our onsite private chefs who create healthy, organic meals. 
  • Holistic therapy methods include yoga, pilates, massage therapy, craniosacral therapy, and bodywork sessions 

How Long Is Rehab?

Healing from your eating disorder will require taking the time to fully engage in therapeutic processes to create a long-lasting change. Exclusive Hawaii Rehab wants to offer patients the time and space they need to engage in the various therapy methods and develop a new path of health and wellness while learning new skills and tools for success. We also recognize that each patient will have their own personal commitments outside of rehab that needs to be attended to which is why we offer a 30, 60, or 90-day rehab in Honolulu to ensure that you have the time you need to develop a new life foundation while also being mindful of your commitments. If you choose a shorter-term stay and decide you need longer to engage in therapy methods, you have the option of extending your stay by 30-day increments. 

Why Choose Residential Rehab For Treating Bulimia

At the height of your eating disorder, it is common to feel like you are alone and that there is no one you can turn to in your greatest time of need. Exclusive Hawaii Rehab offers patients a safe environment that is surrounded by counselors and fellow patients who share the same overarching goals of developing a healthy, balanced life in recovery. Throughout your time in residential rehab, you won’t have to worry about outside distractions, triggers, or societal pressures surrounding body image as you will be in an environment that fosters self-love and acceptance through healthy body image and positive self-talk. For many individuals, the constant images through tv, media, and social media platforms perpetuate feelings of not being enough and negative self-image. In residential treatment, you will be removed from those outside triggers so that you can have the time you need to gain an understanding of how these external factors have impacted your self-esteem and eating disorder behaviors. 

Benefits of Residential Bulimia Treatment

You may have tried to change your eating disorder behaviors on your own and found that your DIY attempts were unsuccessful no matter how hard you tried. While your intentions are true and you know you want to overcome your bulimia, you simply have not had the therapeutic and medical support to help you create a long-lasting change. When you attend residential treatment with Exclusive Honolulu, you will have access to physicians, therapists, and dieticians that are experts in treating eating disorders. Your health and safety are our first priority and will be continuously monitored while you stay with us and adjustments will be made throughout your rehab program to ensure you are getting relevant, progressive care.
