Patient Resources for Adults
Adults of all ages, genders, and backgrounds come to Veritas Collaborative. Many have struggled for years with disordered behaviors, and some have sought treatment before. For others, this is the first time they've acknowledged the negative impact of their eating disorder and are taking the first step toward letting go of this destructive relationship.
Whoever you are and whatever your story, we welcome you to Veritas. We are committed to meeting you wherever you are on your journey, and to providing you with an effective treatment plan that considers all aspects of your life, with the goal of getting you back to it.
Even before treatment, there are resources that can help. Below you will find blogs, videos, testimonials, and recovery resources that can help support you where you are today and provide useful insights as you consider your treatment options. If you have specific questions-or simply want to talkt to someone who understands what you're going through-please don't hesitate to call us. We are here to help.
