Addressing Eating Disorders in the Substance Abuse Treatment Field Virtual: February 18, 2026

This virtual training is being sponsored by the HHSC Substance Use Disorders (SUD) Programs. SUD contractors have priority for this training.

Eating disorders are often overlooked in the addiction treatment world, yet they can

interfere with recovery. The conflicting messages we all receive related to body image and

healthy eating can be passed on to our clients, reinforcing perilous behaviors and disorders

and putting the clients and providers at risk. Eating disorders impact all ages,

socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds, genders, and communities.

Increased knowledge, early screening, and intervention are possible alongside SUD

treatment.
