Treatment addresses underlying thoughts and beliefs, aiming to heal relationships with food. Weight restoration and other medical interventions stabilize physical health.
Residential
Residential eating disorder treatment provides intensive medical and therapeutic care in a safe, structured setting with 24/7 monitoring, meal-time support, therapy, and services for weight restoration as needed.
Day Treatment

Virtual & In-Home Care
