Eating Disorder Treatment

TREATMENT

9 & 12 Week Eating Disorder Programs

The Bay’s comprehensive, inpatient Eating Disorder treatment offers nine-week and twelve-week programs to individuals 16 and over.

Our clinical team understands the challenges and sensitivities when treating eating disorders. All clients will receive support during all meals from compassionate and experienced support staff who have a lived experience with eating disorders.

Disordered eating encompasses an array of negative behaviours, obsessive thoughts, and overwhelming feelings focused on and around one’s relationship to weight, food, body shape and appearance. At the heart of these psychological issues is often complex and deep-seated trauma, self-loathing, shame, and exhausting emotions resulting in an overall lack of quality of life.

Testimonials

What our guests say

I have attended other programs and felt overlooked due to the needs of the more complex clients that were in the program. At The Bay I was the focus of the team and gained a greater understanding of my situation… to make the changes required to live the life I wanted.

Having a psychology background I was very particular about what I was looking for, I didn’t want group therapy because I was at a point where I knew I needed individual therapy… it has been five months since I left The Bay, it has changed my life.

I have been in treatment before but couldn’t seem to achieve the changes I wanted. The compassion shown to me by the incredible team at The Bay has taught me to set boundaries with others, allowed me to re-align my expectations of myself and others and live the life I have been craving.

The compassion shown to me by the incredible team at the bay has taught me to set boundaries with others, allowed me to re-align my expectations of myself and others and finally live the life I have been craving for many years.

My wife found The Bay after doing a lot of research looking at programs all over the world. Treatment centres here in the US are very different! My life has changed in so many ways and I continue to stay clean and sober, thank you for all you have done.
