Weight Management Program in Huntington
Safe and Effective Approaches to Weight Loss and Management
At House of Grace Treatment Center, we offer a structured, medically supervised weight management program that’s designed for real life — especially for people whose weight concerns are connected to stress, mood, trauma history, ADHD symptoms, cravings, or recovery from substance use.
Weight change isn’t just “willpower.” For many people, appetite, cravings, sleep, motivation, and reward pathways in the brain all play a role, often overlapping with the same systems involved in addiction and mental health. Our approach is built to support the body and the mind, with a plan you can actually follow.
What we offer
Comprehensive Weight Management & Evaluation
Your first visit focuses on understanding the full picture:
Weight history and past attempts (what helped, what didn’t)
Appetite/craving patterns, sleep, stress, and daily routine
Screening for binge eating disorder and related concerns
Medication review (including psychiatric meds that can affect weight)
Basic medical risk review and coordination with your primary care clinician when needed
Why weight and mental health are connected
Many people struggling with weight also struggle with:
Emotional eating, binge eating, or “all-or-nothing” patterns
Depression, anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, or chronic stress
ADHD-related impulsivity and difficulty with routines
Substance use recovery, where food cravings can intensify when substances are reduced
Because these patterns are common, our weight management services are designed to include psychiatric insight, behavior change support, and medical oversight, not just a scale check.
Medication options for weight loss
When clinically appropriate, we may discuss FDA-approved or evidence-supported medication options as part of a broader plan that includes nutrition and behavior change.
Examples may include:
Semaglutide (a GLP-1 medication used for chronic weight management as an adjunct to diet and activity).
Phentermine* (a short-term option for select patients after careful screening/monitoring).
Topiramate (sometimes used off-label in certain situations, including binge-eating patterns; used thoughtfully based on risks/benefits).
Lisdexamfetamine* (Vyvanse) for moderate to severe binge eating disorder in adults that meet criteria after careful assessment.
*Important note: Medications like phentermine and Vyvanse are controlled substances and are prescribed only by a medical provider when appropriate. It requires screening, informed consent, and close follow-up to maintain safety.
Therapy-based approaches for lasting change
CBT for Binge Eating Disorder and Emotional Eating
If binge eating or loss of control eating is part of the picture, we use CBT-informed strategies to reduce binge frequency and build stable eating patterns. CBT is recommended as an effective treatment approach for binge-eating disorder.
Motivational Interviewing
We also use motivational interviewing (MI) to help you move from “I know what to do” to “I can actually do it,” especially when change feels stuck or overwhelming. MI has been studied as an approach that can support behavior change for weight management.
Mindfulness-based coping skills
For cravings, stress eating, and emotional reactivity, we teach practical mindfulness and grounding tools that support awareness, pause, and choice.
A realistic diet and exercise plan you can sustain
We help you build a plan around:
Your schedule, budget, and food environment
Protein/fiber routines that support fullness
Simple activity goals that fit your body and energy level
Sleep and stress strategies (often the hidden drivers of cravings)
Tracking tools that build insight without shame
