Understanding Addiction involving food/eating
disorder
Eating disorders and addiction involving food can
manifest differently for people but there are
lots of commonalities. Our approach acknowledges
the individuality of each person, tailoring the
treatment plan based on understanding what is
driving the behavior vs just treating behavior
and symptoms. With psychotherapy and education,
the focus is to build self-awareness so you can
take action that supports health and recovery.
5
Creating an individualized treatment plan
To commence your journey in recovery, working
with a specialized treatment team that has
expertise in addiction and eating disorders is
crucial. We work in partnership with the patient
and collaborate with various professionals,
including naturopaths, registered dietitians, and
other medical specialists if needed. We
encourage transparency and involvement of your
family, especially for young individuals if it is
beneficial for the patient.

The Power of Psychotherapy
Recognising that psychotherapy is the cornerstone
of treatment, we offer a range of therapeutic
modalities tailored to your unique situation.
This includes an eclectic approach which includes
cognitive-behavioural therapy, family-based
therapy, motivational interviewing, ART, EMDR and
group psychotherapy. The goal is to build
awareness to take recovery action and manage
relapses, triggers and other challenges that
occur. We address the root causes, distorted
thoughts and feelings as well as unhealthy
behaviours that perpetuate the cycle of addiction
involving food/eating disorders.

Cognitive Behavioural TherapyCBT is one
modality we include as part of psychotherapy as
individual sessions are based on issues that
arise during the session.
Group Therapy Our group therapy sessions provide
a supportive environment where individuals with
addiction involving food/an eating disorder can
share experiences, learn valuable skills, and
regain healthy eating patterns under the guidance
of mental health professionals and others in
recovery.
Family-Based TherapyEspecially beneficial for
adolescents, this therapy involves family members
actively participating in the restoration of
healthy eating patterns.

Exploring food choices, top and bottom line
behaviors
We all need food to survive so its not possible
to abstain from food. With support from the HUM
team, we help you determine what behaviors or
food require abstinence, what food or behaviors
may be risky and what food or behaviors support
your health and wellness.
