About Eating Recovery Center
Located in San Antonio, The Eating Recovery Center provides specialized inpatient and day treatment for adults, adolescents, and children who are dealing with eating disorders alongside other mental health concerns. The program uses an integrated, research-informed approach that brings together medical, psychological, and nutritional services to support even the most challenging situations, such as anorexia, bulimia, ARFID, binge and compulsive overeating, and orthorexia. Clients receive care from a multidisciplinary team that includes psychiatrists, registered dietitians, family clinicians, nursing staff, and education specialists, creating a structured yet compassionate setting.
At The Eating Recovery Center, clinicians incorporate therapies such as body image therapy, exposure-based strategies, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy. These evidence-based methods are designed to help clients strengthen coping skills, manage stress, and develop meaningful, supportive relationships. Treatment also includes group sessions, family therapy, and individualized nutritional counseling to promote sustained progress.
The Eating Recovery Center is designed to feel modern and welcoming, with a range of programs and comfort-focused features. Patients have access to calm therapy rooms, creative art groups, yoga therapy, and a fully equipped kitchen that supports cooking classes. Outdoor spaces include gardens that encourage patients to learn about growing ingredients, and a golf course view from the property offers a peaceful atmosphere. For families traveling from out of state, nearby apartment accommodations are available. Ongoing aftercare helps alumni continue building recovery through alumni and family support groups, reunion gatherings, and guidance for additional services when needed.
