Let's Talk About Getting Help. We'll Walk You Through It.
Reaching out for help is a huge step, and it's completely normal to feel nervous, unsure, or even overwhelmed. The truth is, you don't have to have everything figured out to get started. You just have to reach out.
At Eating Disorder Treatment Centers (EDTC), our admissions process is designed to be clear, compassionate, and tailored to you. Whether you're exploring options for the first time or already working with a provider, we're here to make the path to care as smooth as possible.

Let’s Talk
Once we connect, we'll talk about what's going on and how you're feeling. We'll ask some questions to get a better picture of your needs.
We'll cover topics like eating habits, mental health, medical history, and support systems. This conversation helps us gather information and learn how we can best support you.

Personalized Clinical Assessment
If it feels like a good fit, we'll complete a more in-depth clinical and medical assessment. This step allows us to create a personalized treatment plan for your eating disorder and also helps us determine if residential treatment is the appropriate level of care for you.
If you're already working with a therapist or physician, great! We collaborate with other healthcare providers to ensure your care remains connected and cohesive.

Insurance & Financial Support
We know that figuring out insurance coverage and treatment costs can raise many questions. Our team is here to make that process straightforward and transparent.
Here's how we help:
- Verify your insurance benefits
- Clearly explain what is and isn't covered in your plan
- Discuss payment options tailored to your situation
Affordability and access to care matter. Our goal is to help you understand your financial options so you can focus on getting the support you need without added stress.
