What is Trauma-Informed Treatment?

Trauma-Informed Treatment is a care approach that acknowledges the widespread impact of trauma on mental and physical health. It recognizes how past trauma can contribute to the development or persistence of eating disorders and ensures that treatment is delivered in a way that avoids re-traumatization.

At Virtue Recovery, trauma-informed treatment isn’t just a therapy — it’s an organizational philosophy woven into every level of care. From our intake process to daily programming, we prioritize safety, trust, empowerment, and collaboration so that every client feels respected and supported.

5 Core Principles of Trauma-Informed Treatment

Safety

Ensuring clients feel physically and emotionally secure throughout treatment.

Trust & Transparency

Building consistent and reliable relationships between staff and clients.

Empowerment & Choice

Giving clients a voice in their recovery and treatment decisions.

Collaboration

Working together as a team — clients, families, and providers.

Cultural Sensitivity

Respecting and honoring each client’s unique background and experiences.
