Nutrition education in addiction treatment
People struggling with an eating disorder may also turn to alcohol or drugs to cope. At Marworth, we have a registered dietician on staff who is experienced with co-ocurring eating disorders and substance abuse.
In addition to recovery support groups, Marworth offers a nutrition-focused educational program to help addicted individuals with an eating disorder start on a road to recovery.
The Marworth Nutrition Education Program focuses on topics such as:
- Substance abuse affects food relationships
- Building balanced meals
- Sugar and recovery
- What type of eater are you?
- Mindful eating
Additionally, our dietician presents a monthly nutrition education seminar for all Marworth patients.
Marworth uses targeted support groups to help people who’ve had past trauma. Our team can help with these trauma symptoms:
- Difficulty managing stress
- Difficulty connecting with others
- Feeling unsafe
- Flashbacks or recurrent dreams
- Disassociation
- Sense of blame to self or others
- Inability to remember key aspects of trauma
- Grief
- Survivor's guilt
Our addiction treatment program also offers trauma support through Seeking Safety: Trauma and PTSD Support Groups, which focus on topics such as:
- Grounding skills
- Asking for help
- Boundaries
- Recovery thinking
- Anger and trauma
