What Is Family-Based Therapy?

Family-based therapy (FBT) is a form of psychotherapy meant for several individuals who belong to a family unit – they get to work with a therapist in a private setting.

The purpose of this method of treatment is to recognize that the problems of one family member may impact their loved ones, restore the emotional closeness that has been damaged due to a severe eating disorder, and uncover underlying issues that may have contributed to disordered eating.

Patient-Centeredness

Treatment approaches we utilize at our recovery center are informed by cultural sensitivity and adaptability – we will map out the strategy of treatment based on your needs and preferences without compromising clinical standards.

Welcoming Space

Numerous individuals are reluctant to seek professional help for their eating disorders due to the harsh judgment they may face. This is not something you should worry about when you undergo family-based eating disorder treatment at our clinic – we make sure our clients feel safe and secure.

Relapse Prevention

There is no well-rounded path to recovery without the ability of the patient to manage life’s challenges on their own after their residential treatment program comes to an end. Our specialists will introduce you to healthy coping mechanisms you will be able to incorporate into your daily life for lasting recovery.

How Does Family-Based Therapy Work at Wellness Recovery Center?

Family engagement can make all the difference for a recovering patient. Modifying your eating habits, staying accountable as you adhere to an individualized treatment plan developed by a therapist, and understanding there is another issue or illness you may need to address – all this is much easier when the family of a patient provides them with emotional and practical support.

Integrated family therapy is especially important when an individual is suffering from a mental health condition that currently has no cure. If you suspect you have depression, you were diagnosed with bipolar disorder, or you are trying to live with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), your family can join you in therapy and learn more about the most efficient ways to protect your wellness and help you accomplish your therapy goals.

Family-Based Therapy FAQs

What therapies are used in family-based therapy (FBT) at Wellness Recovery Center?

Depending on the wishes and current emotional state of the patient, we can invite your family members to join counseling sessions with you, accompany you to nutritional counseling & meal support sessions, and master mindfulness-based interventions alongside you.

How does family-based therapy address eating disorders in your programs?

Every FBT program we develop will take the patient’s needs into consideration – some people recover at a quicker pace when they can stay at the facility with occasional visits from their loved ones while others prefer to sign up for trauma-informed care if they need to process a traumatic event that affected them and their family members.

Can psychiatric medication management be combined with FBT?

Studies have shown that the combination of several therapeutic approaches is the most effective way to cope with severe eating disorders like anorexia nervosa or laxative abuse. A psychiatrist will examine your physical condition and prescribe the medication that will target the symptoms you cannot alleviate with therapy alone.

What makes your Orange County facility ideal for family-based therapy?

Family-based treatment we offer at our clinic means an additional level of accountability – while you can trust our specialists to take care of you 24/7, you will also have to show your family you attend therapy sessions, practice mindfulness, and take prescription medication to combat your eating disorder.
