  • All team members at our eating disorder treatment centers are highly trained, understand the challenges of eating disorders recovery and engage you actively in the treatment process.

Comprehensive, individualized eating disorder treatment

  • Specialized eating disorder treatment tracks address co-morbid medical and mood disorders, including anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, substance use disorder, diabetes, gastrointestinal illness and other organ disease.
  • Evidence-based therapeutic interventions include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Emphasis on sustaining recovery following treatment

  • Extensive aftercare planning conducted by an Aftercare Coordinator helps ensure you have a “plan of action” for continuity of care and maintaining recovery progress; pre-arranged appointments set with an outpatient team experienced in the treatment of eating disorders.
  • ​Programming designed specifically to support alumni, including individualized follow up, events, retreats and more.

An evidence-based approach to healing

Our treatment approach is an evidence-based perspective that utilizes behavioral interventions to address behavioral health symptoms while simultaneously seeking to understand the underlying meaning and function of behaviors. 

Evidence-based interventions are congruent across ERC Pathlight's programming, creating a common language from which to approach treatment.
