You don’t have to face eating struggles alone

If you’re looking for help for yourself or someone you care about, steady support matters. We work with children, teens, and adults, offering structured care designed for different stages of life and different needs. You bring your experience. We help guide treatment in a way that fits where you are right now.

Schedule intro call

We’ve supported thousands of families in lasting recovery

This is what healing looks like.

Care built for real life

Patients take part in supported outings that pair food with everyday activities like visiting Tanaka Farms, taking pottery or art classes, shopping for crafts at Michael’s, or spending time at the zoo.

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.

Support that keeps school on track

Eating disorder treatment shouldn’t mean falling behind in school. With on-site education support, we help children and teens stay connected to their coursework while they focus on healing.

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.

Google Review

Every member of staff I encountered cared for me for me more than I cared about myself

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.”

Learn about family support

One of our primary goals is to provide frequent communication touchpoints and coordinate with local outpatient community providers. At every step of the journey, we work to ensure continuity of care through regular updates on treatment progress, changes in treatment planning and discharge instructions.

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.

Our clinician-led team of Community Outreach Liaisons, provide ongoing support for patients who have transitioned to outpatient care through alumni events, free support groups, social recovery communities and resources for patients and caregivers.

ERC Irvine treats adolescents (ages 12-17) and adults with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID and other unspecified eating disorders and general body image disturbances.

Our three-day-a-week IOP includes one meal per IOP day, process groups and skill-building groups with an emphasis on Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Radically Open DBT (RO-DBT).
