ERC has been helping patients recover for nearly two decades
Many of our patients come in scared, overwhelmed, and worried about getting started. You aren’t alone. ERC Dallas treats both children and adults in a dedicated space built to meet you or your loved one exactly where they are. You can do this, we’ve seen it happen thousands of times over.
We’ve supported thousands of families in lasting recovery
This is what healing looks like.
Recovery takes time - ups, downs, and everything in between. Our team has been treating eating disorders since 2008. We know what works, what sticks, and do what is best for our patients, not what is easiest.
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.
Many patients at ERC Dallas come from athletic backgrounds. We understand how identity, performance pressure, injury, and expectations can complicate eating disorder recovery, and we approach these challenges with care and clinical expertise.
A common concern we hear from parents and college-age patients is how treatment may impact school. Our partnerships with local universities help patients stay connected
