Center for Discovery is proud to announce that we are accepting new patients at our residential treatment facility in Orange, California!

CFD Orange will support adolescents of all genders who have been diagnosed with an eating disorder and would benefit from a higher level of care in a residential treatment setting. Using evidence-based techniques, our highly trained expert staff is eager to serve every patient in finding the confidence and reassurance they need to succeed and discover the best version of themselves.

At Center for Discovery, we are committed to continuing to be good partners to those in and around Orange County, particularly with neighboring Chapman Global Medical Center.

Every patient who comes to Center for Discovery has a story. And for them to be able to tell their story once they’re done with treatment is part of the healing journey.

During Recovery Month, we’re highlighting a few stories of patients who have triumphed after being in the throes of an eating disorder. Each perspective can show you that you are not alone in this – finding freedom from this condition is possible.

The term "picky eater" is common in parental circles. But for some children, and even adults, being selective about food can be a serious issue and it has a name: ARFID.

You may have heard the saying that eating disorders don’t discriminate – they affect people of all ages, genders, classes, ethnicities and sexual orientations. But did you know that student athletes are at a greater risk of developing disordered eating habits?

It’s true. According to the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD), one in four student athletes develop an eating disorder. The pressure to maintain a certain weight, shape and/or size, coupled with the need to “win,” outperform competition and advance to the next level, has shown to be highly influential toward athletes. This often prompts various behavioral changes (for example, eating and exercising habits) to achieve desired outcomes.
