Binge eating disorder treatment helps people stop the cycle of binges, shame, and isolation while building healthier patterns that last. Many individuals don’t realize that binge eating is a diagnosable condition with effective therapies and levels of care supported by research. Recovery is possible, and it can start with compassionate, evidence-based care in Central Massachusetts.¹,²

At The Grove Recovery Center, we meet you where you are. Our team takes time to understand your history, current stressors, and goals so we can create a plan that fits your life in Leominster and the greater Worcester County community.

Understanding Binge Eating Disorder Treatment

Binge eating disorder (BED) is defined by recurrent episodes of eating large amounts of food in a short time with a sense of loss of control, followed by guilt or distress. It is distinct from occasional overeating, and it is treatable with structured care.¹,² 

People often report eating when not physically hungry, eating rapidly, or eating alone because of embarrassment, which can increase medical and emotional risks if left unaddressed.² 

In addition to treatment for BED, we also provide care for related eating concerns such as other specified feeding or eating disorders (OSFED), ensuring that those who may not meet every binge eating criterion still receive the support they need.¹

Signs You May Need Binge Eating Disorder Treatment

If you notice frequent episodes of eating far more than intended, secrecy around food, or persistent shame that affects work, school, or relationships, it may be time to seek help.² Many people benefit from a structured setting that addresses triggers, mood, body image, and health concerns, along with practical skills for urges and cravings. Our center provides a warm, judgment-free place to start.

Our Approach to Binge Eating Disorder Treatment

We combine cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, nutrition counseling, and supportive groups to address the whole person.¹,² Because co-occurring conditions are common, our clinicians coordinate eating disorder treatment with mood, anxiety, or substance use support through our dual diagnosis program. As patients progress, we help them practice relapse-prevention skills and build a sustainable plan at home.

Levels of Care for Binge Eating Disorder Treatment

Care intensity matches your needs. Our levels of care include a partial hospitalization program (PHP), an intensive outpatient program (IOP), outpatient therapy, and step-down aftercare. PHP offers structured daytime support with therapy, nutrition guidance, and medical coordination, while IOP focuses on skills, accountability, and real-life application during the week.
