SPECIALISED DIABULIMIA TREATMENT CENTRES
The Cumberland Hospital in Virginia, USA has a specialised programme recognised by the American Diabetes Association that is designed for those suffering with an eating disorder and diabetes and other chronic illnesses. For more information please refer to the 'recovery' section of this website.
Park Nicollet have a specialised programme created for those with diabulimia. You will need to speak to them over the phone about it but the the hospital incorporates pediatric and adult endocrinologists, psychiatrist, psychologist, diabetes nurse educator and diabetes nutrition educator in to your care.
The Center For Hope Of The Sierras Centre in Nevada, USA have a programme created for diabulimia. Incorporates nutritional education and rehabilitation, blood sugar monitoring, insulin administration, an exercise programme, individual, group and family therapy, a home-like environment with 24-hour nuring and care from a team of experts including a pediatric endocrinologist, a dietician, psychologists, marriage and family therapists, a psychiatrist and residential staff.
The Marcé Center in Washington DC, USA holds a very detailed view of what diabulimia is and how to treat it. They have what seems a very good treatment programme for bulimia which includes therapy, meal planning, cooking classes, experimental therapies including yoga and dance and meditation, psychotherapy groups and further ongoing outpatient services.
The Priory Group is a private UK chain of mental health hospitals, many specialising in eating disorders. Although they do not have programmes tailored for diabulimia, I myself had inpatient stays at both the Roehampton and Chelmsford priory hospitals and I highly reccomend both. Much to my disgust, at present, there is no inpatient treatment in the UK that specialises in diabetes and eating disorders. All the eating disorder programmes ran by the Priory chain will concentrate on the psychological, social, behavioural and physical sides of an eating disorder which includes acute medical care with on-site, 24-7 doctors, trained medical staff to assist with diabetes management, psychotherapists, psychotherapy and CBT groups, meal-time support and rehabilitation work.
