In this chapter, we will explore the non-dietary treatment options for food addiction (FA). There has been little research done specifically on the treatment of FA, and more work is needed. However, much can be borrowed from traditional treatments for substance use disorders (SUD) and other eating disorders (EDs). Many of the approaches may be used simultaneously and could possibly be synergistic. Potentially useful interventions include psychoeducation regarding the neurobiological underpinnings of FA, evidence-based psychosocial approaches to SUD adapted for FA, psychopharmacology, emphasis on the importance of sleep and exercise, self-help programs and other support, and treatment of underlying psychiatric comorbidities. Bariatric surgery and neuromodulation may also beneficially affect the course of FA. Finally, we will explore the concept of treatment matching in order to assist providers in determining the best course of treatment for individual patients. |
