About Eating Recovery Center Baltimore Residential
ERC Baltimore’s residential program lights the way for medically stable adults, adolescents (ages 13 to 17), and children (ages 8 to 12) 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.
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 Healing Surroundings
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. A state-of-the-art teaching kitchen provides hands-on experience with meal planning and emotional regulation, and an inviting café allows patients to practice mindful eating during mealtimes.
Continue Outpatient Care Across the Street
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. Frequent communication and coordination with outpatient providers helps ensure continuity of care and positive outcomes.
