You don’t have to handle this by yourself
Whether you’re seeking care for yourself or someone you care about, our team at Eating Recovery Center is here for you. We provide structured treatment for children, teens, and adults, designed to meet people where they are and help you move forward.
We’ve helped thousands find lasting recovery
This is what healing looks like.
ERC Sacramento 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.
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.
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.
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.

Being at ERC changed my life.
“I was struggling to maintain recovery before I started their PHP program. After some time in PHP, I was able to accept the help I needed, with all the support from PHP hours/staff. I loved everyone on my team, and having peer support helped me so much; and I will continue to do groups even though my time at ERC ended. I highly recommend ERC to anyone struggling with and ED or disordered eating habits.”
