You're not meant to go through this alone

When eating struggles start shaping your days, it’s hard to know what kind of support makes sense for you. Many people come to ERC Denver unsure if they’re “sick enough,” or worried that getting help means losing control.

Our PHP and IOP programs offer structured, supportive care that fits into real life. Designed to steady eating and body image thoughts while you stay connected to your life.

Talk to a team member

We’ve supported thousands of individuals in lasting recovery

This is what healing looks like.

We connect you with nearby housing

ERC Denver offers nearby apartment housing for patients in PHP, including adults and adolescents with caregivers. If apartments are unavailable, we help coordinate nearby hotel options. Our team can also support travel-related questions so patients can focus on treatment.

You stay with the same team throughout treatment

You don’t have to start over or retell your story. As you move through levels of care, you stay with the same clinical team you already know and trust. More continuity. Deeper support.

Practice food skills in real life

With guided meal outings and real-world food experiences, patients practice skills in supportive, everyday settings to build confidence around food.

Seven-day care when consistency matters most

Eating disorders don’t take weekends off, and neither do we. Our 7-day partial hospitalization program provides steady structure and support all week long.

I will never not be grateful for my time there

My team and the other staff managed to be both incredibly empathetic and still challenge me in ways that were necessary for the best of my recovery. Nobody likes going to ED treatment, but ERC Denver was a place of community and healing for me, and I will never not be grateful for my time there.
