ERC Denver - Franklin St.’s residential program lights the path to recovery from eating disorders for medically stable children and adolescents of all genders. 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.

Thrive with a Comprehensive, Personalized Approach

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.

Feel Comfortable in a Calm Atmosphere

At ERC’s flagship location, everything from the hanging art to the paint colors to the spa bathrooms was chosen by current and former patients. Spaces that are most challenging, such as bathrooms and dining spaces, have been renovated and feature quieter flooring, noise reduction, and outdoor-themed, sensory-nurturing natural lighting. Patients stay in cozy bedrooms, and a state-of-the-art teaching kitchen provides hands-on experience with meal planning and emotional regulation.

Continue Outpatient Care Just Steps Away

With day treatment and intensive outpatient programs also on site, ERC’s step-down model of care provides convenient support at every phase of recovery. Their day programs run 5–7 days a week and give time to practice skills in real life. For added flexibility, intensive outpatient (IOP) care is offered 3–4 times a week, allowing patients to continue school, work, or family life while receiving therapy, nutritional counseling, and supported meals.

Testimonial
ERC saved our son! When we were at our lowest point and feeling hopeless, we found ERC for our 14 year old son. We found the residential care to be exceptional. They cared for my son and continued to challenge the ED until he was weight restored. We found the communication, education, and support for the parents throughout his stay to be support to be top notch and just the right amount.

Find Hope as a Family
Find Hope as a Family
ERC helps family members and friends navigate their loved one’s recovery process starting with a hope-filled orientation via Zoom, with additional educational opportunities available weekly online. Family therapy sessions focus on education and skill-building, as participants learn advanced caregiver skills and become effective collaborators with their loved one’s therapist.
Maintain Academics While in Treatment
Maintain Academics While in Treatment
At ERC, patients do not have to choose between staying in school or getting care for an eating disorder. The program prioritizes time for academics as part of treatment, with education specialists who coordinate with schools, reduce anxiety around missed work, and provide individualized support so patients can focus on recovery while continuing their education.
Find Stability Through Inpatient Care
Find Stability Through Inpatient Care
ERC’s inpatient level of care is for patients who have the most severe and acute symptoms, complications, and health risks, and need the highest level of support. Medical and nursing care are available around the clock. Once these patients are medically and psychiatrically stable, they have increased freedom to do the important work of recovery alongside registered dietitians, therapists, and other team members.
Stay Supported 7 Days a Week
Stay Supported 7 Days a Week
Since eating disorders don’t take the weekend off, ERC doesn’t either. Research shows that patients in typical weekday-only programs struggle with eating disorder behaviors over the weekend. That’s why ERC provides programming 7 days a week for patients in residential and day treatment levels of care, because it offers the best chance of recovery.
