ERC Baltimore’s residential program lights the way for medically stable children, adolescents, and adults of all genders to recover from eating disorders. Patients receive 24-hour support—including continued observation and daytime medical and psychiatric supervision—from a team of experts who specialize in eating disorders and other co-occurring mental health conditions. Through personalized plans that include therapy, education, medical support, and family involvement, ERC helps patients achieve optimal physical and mental health.
Patients at ERC engage in evidence-based therapies and develop recovery skills for real-world situations. Individual, group, and family therapy sessions give patients the chance to explore what matters most to them, build coping skills, and gain insight from peers who share their struggles. Registered dietitians provide supportive, structured meal planning that emphasizes balance, variety, and flexibility.
Just north of Baltimore in beautiful suburban surroundings, ERC’s residential facility is a safe, nurturing environment. Patients stay in cozy bedrooms, and the child and adolescent units are designed with youth in mind.

With day treatment and intensive outpatient programs directly across the street, ERC Baltimore’s step-down model of care provides convenient support at every phase of recovery. The buildings are in the same campus-like environment, offering a safer, more supportive atmosphere that promotes collaboration and closeness.
