Life at Eating Recovery Center Northbrook
The mental health crisis among our nation’s youth is no secret. The number of children and adolescents hospitalized for suicidal thoughts or attempts has more than doubled since 2008. And, young people ages 15-24 with anorexia have 10 times the risk of dying compared to their same age peers.
Our treatment center in Northbrook, Illinois, provides comprehensive child and adolescent treatment to meet this growing need and help prevent the cycle of crisis intervention at hospitals and emergency rooms.
Accredited by the Joint Commission, ERC Illinois operates numerous treatment centers in the Chicago area including downtown Chicago, Northbrook, Evanston, Oak Park and Oak Brook.
They are also a teaching affiliate of Northwestern University Medical School and Rush University Medical School. Additionally, ERC, Illinois and the University of Chicago’s Eating Disorder Program, led by Daniel LeGrange, have teamed up to study new options for adolescent patients with anorexia nervosa who do not respond to current treatment protocols.
