What Is Residential Eating Disorder Treatment?
Residential eating disorder treatment provides a live-in level of care for individuals who need intensive support to manage their eating disorder. This type of treatment offers a structured, recovery-focused environment where individuals receive medical, nutritional, and therapeutic care. Unlike outpatient or day programs, residential eating disorder recovery immerses patients in a community dedicated to healing, giving them the time and resources needed to focus solely on recovery.
At EDCare, we take a unique approach to residential treatment for eating disorders. Patients participate in therapy and meals at our state-of-the-art eating disorder treatment center during the day and return to our tranquil, off-site residential house in the evening. This balance offers a sense of routine and normalcy while maintaining continuous care.

When Is Residential Treatment Necessary?
Residential care for eating disorders may be necessary when an eating disorder severely impacts an individual’s physical health, emotional well-being, or daily functioning. It is often recommended for individuals who:
- Require round-the-clock medical and nutritional supervision.
- Struggle to interrupt eating disorder behaviors in less intensive settings.
- Face significant health risks, such as malnutrition or medical instability.
- Experience severe co-occurring conditions, including anxiety, depression, or trauma.
- Need a supportive environment to focus on recovery without external stressors.
Residential eating disorder treatment provides the safety and support needed to stabilize patients and equip them with recovery tools, preparing them for the next stages of treatment.
