The Moore Center is the longest-established outpatient eating disorder program in Washington State. Since its inception in June 1991, the Moore Center's goal has been to provide the highest-quality and most cost effective care and treatment for patients with eating disorders. Because recovery from an eating disorder can be a lengthy process, they have developed a series of program components which provide both short term intervention and long term care. They treat patients in a "milieu" style environment which provides comprehensive support to help minimize acute episodes, which can lead to expensive inpatient hospital care. This is accomplished utilizing all or select components of their therapeutic offerings. Visit the website for more information on the services offered at the Moore Center for Eating Disorders.

Treats Anorexia and Bulimia; also specializes in chemical dependency.
Treatment Philosophy: The Center's philosophy is that you must treat the whole person-Mental, Emotional, Physical, and Spiritual. Their team approach to treating these issues includes individual and group counseling, as well as nutritional education, medical care by our staff physician (or for those who are currently working with a physician, we will gladly work in conjunction with them) and physical care based on each client's individual needs. Individualized intensive recovery programs available.
Anybody that is suffering from an eating disorder needs to have unconditional love, acceptance and forgiveness. They also need to learn how to forgive themselves, and forgive others who may have abused or harmed them. The Center does not believe force will change those suffering from eating disorders. Force does not work. It can drive the eating disorder deeper and deeper. Instead of force, at The Center, they provide an atmosphere of acceptance where change can take place. They look beyond the eating disorder and reach into the person's heart and see them as a person who needs love and acceptance.
