The Benefits of Body Dysmorphic Disorder Treatment
Seeking body dysmorphic disorder treatment offers countless benefits to so many areas of your life, including your relationships and your physical and emotional health.
While in body dysmorphic disorder treatment, you will gain the tools you need to start managing the feelings that have kept you from functioning in your daily life, like going out with friends, wearing your favorite clothes, or going to work. As you progress through mental health treatment for body dysmorphic disorder, you will feel empowered to take control of the thoughts and behaviors that cause you so much distress.
Getting body dysmorphic disorder treatment can also help you discover that there are others who share your experiences. You will find the strength that comes with having a support community throughout your healing journey.
Choosing the Right Body Dysmorphic Disorder Treatment
Not everyone heals from body dysmorphic disorder the same way, so it’s essential to find the right body dysmorphic treatment for you.
Timberline Knolls Residential Treatment Center offers residential care for women and adolescent girls age 12 and older and a partial hospitalization program (PHP) for adult women age 18 and older.
Residential treatment for body dysmorphic disorder features round-the-clock care in an environment that allows women and young girls to step away from the stressors and distractions of daily life. This is an excellent atmosphere for girls and women to truly focus on their wellness.
In our PHP, adult women receive intensive, structured care that helps them build on the skills they need to transition back to their daily lives. When the treatment day ends, you can return home or stay in one of our on-campus residences.
We work closely with you to determine which level of body dysmorphic disorder treatment you may benefit from most.
