​What Is Integrative Treatment?
​Eating disorders and addiction are often treated separately, but there are many underlying behaviors and issues that overlap and would benefit from a more integrated approach. 

In addition, addiction treatment may often foster unhealthy behaviors and attitudes towards food and nutrition. 

Many treatment centers are recognizing these links and integrating nutrition into addiction treatment programs. 

David Wiss is a leading voice in integrative treatment and shares why nutrition-inclusive plans are the future of addiction treatment.
