Bulimia Treatment & Rehab
Bulimia and other eating disorders are characterized by an unusual relationship with food and body image that usually manifests from underlying emotional, social, and psychological issues. Some of the reasons a person may develop bulimia include:
- Beliefs about the morality or negativity surrounding weight gain or having a particular body shape being formed at a young age, with family members being overly concerned about looks
- A history of trauma, or having depression, anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive disorder
- Being obese or overweight as a child
- Being involved in sports or other activities where you are expected to look a certain way, like dancing or wrestling
- Having complex relationships with food, including those who were forced to clean their plate when they were already full, those who grew up with food scarcity and feel driven to eat, and those who never learned about proper nutrition and self-regulation.
Complications that can form due to prolonged bulimia include:
- Self-esteem issues that can harm social development
- Heart issues
- Digestion issues
- Bloating/edema
- Hypertension
- Severe tooth decay and gum disease
- Severe dehydration and electrolyte imbalances
- Mental health disorders
If left untreated, some of these issues can escalate to become life-threatening and will reduce the quality of life of the person with the eating disorder. In order to live a fulfilling life without continued stress, health issues, and food-related triggers constantly affecting you, a stay in residential bulimia treatment is recommended.

Other benefits for remaining in our residential treatment program include:
- Our facility is safe and secure, so our high net worth, celebrity, and otherwise high-profile clients do not have to worry about being seen or photographed while undergoing treatment
- We provide a high level of medical support for the health issues that come with bulimia
- You can remain connected to home, as we allow phones, laptops, and personal devices in your room; executive clients can even have the space and time they need to continue to attend meetings or take important phone calls if necessary
- We provide a supportive environment that is completely removed from the people, places and issues that would normally trigger you
- We provide dual diagnosis treatment to help you with any underlying mental health issues and co-occurring conditions like PTSD that occur alongside eating disorders
- Through therapy and other treatments, you will learn more about yourself, your core beliefs, and how to access your inner resilience, skills that will serve you for years to come as you deal with the challenges of life
- Your treatments can be customized to best suit your preferences, so, for example, if you have a horse allergy then equine therapy will not be on your schedule, and our onsite chefs are happy to customize your meals to suit any dietary preference
- Our facility has been designed to help you relax, enjoy your time with us, and heal your mind, body, and spirit as you work on meeting your recovery goals, finding a balance in your life between the spiritual, mental, and physical aspects, and dealing with inner criticisms and pain
- We know that each of our clients is an intelligent person who deserves respect and dignity in all aspects of their care, and we will treat you as such. We will not force you to ask to use the bathroom or tell you what you can or cannot eat; punishment and humiliation are not used at our facility
- We are a non-12-step program, meaning we do not tell you what to do, nor do we give you specific one-size-fits-all steps to follow; you are a unique individual with whom we will collaborate to find the best ways for you to heal
How Long is Rehab?
Rehab in Kauai is not a one-size-fits-all treatment, as each of our clients is a unique individual with their own mental, physical, and spiritual needs. We can work with you to determine what length of stay will be right for you, with the minimum time in inpatient rehab taking 30 days to complete, as we have determined this is the shortest amount of time it takes to make long-term behavioral changes and gain new, lasting habits and thought patterns.
We are not only a comfortable wellness retreat, we place our focus on recovery, and doing the deeper work of self-reflection, digging into the underlying social, psychological, physical, and spiritual issues that may be contributing to your eating disorder. This can take time, and for some, it may be longer than 30 days. For this reason, we offer longer rehab programs that can take 60 or even 90 days in inpatient care. Your health is paramount, and we want to ensure that when you leave our program you feel ready to return to your life, armed with the tools you need for a lasting recovery.
Why Choose Residential Rehab for Treating Bulimia?
When treating an eating disorder, it is important to ensure you are in a safe and supportive environment, away from negative messaging, unhelpful chatter about weight loss or body shape from others, advertisements showing unrealistic body images, and well-meaning but harmful talk about exercise, diet, and health.
In residential rehab, you will be surrounded by peers and professionals who all want what is best for you. You will be removed from the stress of everyday life, and other things that may trigger you and cause a relapse. This distance will provide you with the space you need to remove the programming about weight and diets from your psyche, so you can truly challenge your thoughts and beliefs through critical thinking to be able to make core-level changes. You will gain new methods to deal with external messaging and societal pressures, work through fight or flight sensations in the body, and you will learn to challenge unhelpful thoughts and emotions, and cope with them in healthy ways.
Benefits of Residential Bulimia Treatment
Some of the benefits of coming to the Exclusive Hawaii Rehab for inpatient bulimia treatment include:
- Physical removal from external sources of pressure, stress, triggers, and unhelpful messaging
- A supportive environment filled with medical, holistic, and psychiatric professionals
- A combination of integrated treatments that will help you get to the root of your eating disorder
- Learning new ways to deal with external sources of pressure like well-meaning parents or peers
- Gaining coping tools like yoga, mindfulness, and meditation techniques that will last you a lifetime
- Regaining your health and physical wellness through supplementation, vitamins, nutritional counseling, and physical activity
- Improving your relationship with food, body image, and self-control
- Dealing with the underlying pain, trauma, and mental health issues that may contribute to your eating disorder
