Eating Disorder Treatment in Rio Rancho
Eating disorder care for Rio Rancho patients, offered in Albuquerque
Serving Rio Rancho patients at our Albuquerque office.
Eating disorders affect both body and mind, and they often grow quietly before anyone notices. If food, weight, or body image has started to control your life or your child’s life, help is available. Vigor Health Services evaluates and treats eating disorders for patients from Rio Rancho at our Albuquerque office. Our provider, Stephanie Nnamchi, NP, creates a plan that fits each person and connects patients with other support when needed.
Warning signs to watch for
Eating disorders can include restricting food, binge eating, purging, or intense fear of gaining weight. Other signs are skipping meals, eating in secret, rigid food rules, excessive exercise, and strong distress about body shape. These conditions can affect people of any age, gender, or body size. Many also live with anxiety, depression, or OCD at the same time.
What treatment involves
We start by listening. During the evaluation, your provider asks about eating patterns, medical and mental health history, relationships, and goals. Questionnaires may be included. Based on what we learn, your plan can bring together therapy strategies, lifestyle support, medication management when appropriate, and referrals to other professionals when that would help. Medication is never prescribed before the evaluation is complete.
Care for patients who live in Rio Rancho
Recovery usually takes ongoing support. Our office is roughly 25 to 35 minutes from Rio Rancho, so regular follow-up appointments are easy to fit into a week. Visits happen in person at our Albuquerque location and are scheduled ahead of time. When a sooner appointment is needed, ask about same-day availability. Parents are welcome to be part of a child’s or teen’s care.
Your first visit is about an hour long. Bring completed paperwork, photo ID, your insurance card, and any co-pay. Visit our new patient page to get ready.
