About
ERC Northbrook offers a residential program dedicated to supporting children's and adolescents' recovery from eating disorders, catering to individuals of all genders who are medically stable. Patients benefit from around-the-clock assistance, including continuous monitoring and daytime medical and psychiatric care provided by a specialized team experienced in addressing eating disorders and associated mental health challenges. With tailored plans that encompass therapeutic interventions, education, medical guidance, and family engagement, ERC aims to foster both physical and psychological well-being.
At ERC, individuals participate in evidence-based therapies and cultivate practical recovery skills applicable to everyday life. Through individual, group, and family therapy sessions, patients have opportunities to delve into their values, develop resilience strategies, and learn from peers facing similar challenges. Expert dietitians create structured meal plans that emphasize the principles of balance, variety, and adaptability.
Nestled in a welcoming community, the residential facility of ERC is designed to be a safe and nurturing space. Patients enjoy comfortable accommodations in thoughtfully designed bedrooms for children and adolescents. The center features an advanced teaching kitchen that enables hands-on experience with meal preparation and emotional coping skills, while a cozy café offers a setting for practicing mindful eating during meals. There are also conveniently located apartments available for those coming from out of state who require lodging.
In addition to its residential program, ERC Northbrook provides day treatment and intensive outpatient programs, ensuring a comprehensive approach to recovery at all stages. Day programs are available five to seven days a week, allowing patients to rehearse skills in everyday scenarios.
