About EDTC
Coming Soon to the Greater New Orleans Area
Eating Disorder Treatment Centers (EDTC) was founded to fill a critical gap in care. As one of the only residential treatment facilities for eating disorders in Louisiana, we are dedicated to providing high-quality, whole-person care that goes beyond symptom management. Our approach integrates medical, clinical, wellness, and relationship-based support to foster deep, lasting healing. With a team of experienced professionals who genuinely care, we help patients rebuild their health, restore balance, and rediscover hope.

Our Purpose
In building EDTC, we knew we wanted to create a place where women feel seen, heard, and supported as they work toward recovery. As members of this community, we saw friends, family, and neighbors struggling to find compassionate, specialized care close to home. It wasn’t enough to hope for better, we set out to create it.
Strength & Beauty in Transformation
Our logo, an origami butterfly, represents transformation, resilience, and the journey to recovery. Just as an intricate origami piece is created with patience and care, the path to healing is built step by step. The butterfly symbolizes the beauty of self-discovery and the strength it takes to emerge from the struggle with renewed hope.
Our Residential Campus
Healing doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens in a space that feels safe, welcoming, and supportive. That’s what we designed at EDTC.
Our residential campus near New Orleans is more than just a treatment center; it’s a home away from home. It’s a place where patients can breathe, reconnect with themselves, and focus on healing. With peaceful outdoor areas, thoughtfully designed living spaces, and treatment rooms that encourage comfort and growth, every element of our campus is built with recovery in mind.
We know that healing is a journey, and starting in the right environment can make all the difference. At EDTC, we’ve created a space where patients can take that journey surrounded by support, encouragement, and hope.
Let us help you take the first step.
You don’t have to face this journey alone. At EDTC, we’re here to provide the expert care, support, and encouragement you need to heal. Whether you're seeking help for yourself or a loved one, we’re ready to walk this path with you.
