The Recovery Model

Full Recovery IS Possible!

Canopy Cove's Eating Disorder Treatment Programs are based on the Recovery Model's beliefs about eating disorders.  The Recovery Model maintains that a full recovery is possible.  It focuses on the underlying issues within the individual and/or the family.

The Recovery Model identifies the eating disorder as a symptom of deeper, unresolved issues.  Once you learn how to effectively confront these issues and the emotions they produce, your eating pattern and relationship with food stabilizes.  Consequently, you can "recover" from an eating disorder, rather than remaining in the perpetual process of "recovering."

The true heart of the Recovery Model is more than behavioral change; it encompasses personal growth and development of life management skills.  We believe that full recovery from an eating disorder is possible and within your reach.  We assist you in identifying and resolving the underlying causes of the eating disorder as well as developing a more balanced relationship with food.
