We’ve been helping patients recover for decades

Many people who come here feel unsure about treatment. Some have been through higher levels of care, others worry they are not “sick enough,” and parents often feel torn about what getting help might mean. ERC Austin offers structure and support without removing you or your child from daily life. Treatment does not have to look one way to be helpful, and sometimes the right step is simply getting support before things get harder.

Talk With Our Team

We’ve supported thousands of families in lasting recovery

This is what healing looks like.

Food work happens in real settings

Nutrition support includes on-site meal support and supported outings that help patients practice eating outside of treatment. Patients gradually choose meals, snacks, and foods from grocery stores or nearby restaurants. The goal is to build confidence that carries into everyday life.

Families aren’t on the sidelines here

We don’t expect you to do this alone. Families play an important role in their loved one’s routines and recovery. Through family therapy, we equip caregivers with the tools and support they need to continue progress when their loved one returns home.

We’re located near hospitals and medical specialists

ERC Austin is located across the street from St. David’s, one of the area’s largest hospital systems. This proximity allows for easier coordination of care when additional medical or specialty support is needed.

We’re equipped to treat co-occurring mental health concerns

Many adults come to treatment with layered mental health concerns, and this may not be their first time seeking care. We’re equipped to support complex cases involving conditions like OCD, depression, anxiety, and more.

Great therapists dietitian and staff

From my first day and my husband ushering me gently inside because I was nervous to my last day, procrastinating leaving, I am exceptionally grateful for ERC and their staff. Every member of staff I encountered cared for me for me more than I cared about myself both physically and mentally. Other patients journeys were inspiring to witness and helped boost my recovery journey. Highly highly recommend.”
