Professional Treatment ResourcesHere is a list of resources for professionals and facilities specializing in all types of eating disorder treatment. While you may not be sure you have an eating disorder--if you think it is simply weight control you need--this is still where you need to start. If you go to someone who doesn't understand the nuances of binge eating disorder or compulsive overeating, you will find yourself stuck and frustrated. You will head down the same path you've been countless times already. To really make a permanent change, you need to really understand what is going on behind the eating.
