A Special Place to Heal

At The Renfrew Center, the country's first residential eating disorder treatment facility, we empower individuals to actively participate in their own growth and recovery.

Specializing solely in the treatment of anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder, our innovative programs emphasize the value and healing potential of healthy relationships.

Why Choose The Renfrew Center?

Here are just a few distinguishing qualities of our programs:

• Expert, Individualized Care: As the nation’s first residential treatment facility for eating disorders, The Renfrew Center has over 20 years of experience and has treated more than 50,000 people. Our programs are backed by experienced staff members in the field who work with each patient to develop an individualized treatment plan.

• Positive Outcomes: Our patients make great progress. Follow-up studies have found a significant reduction in the intensity of symptoms for the majority of participants in our residential program. We know first-hand that recovery is possible (hear from past patients) and does happen, as it has for many of our patients.

• Warm & Nurturing Environment: We provide a safe, nurturing community in which individuals learn to risk new, healthier behaviors and heal. While none of our 10 locations are completely alike, all of our facilities have comfortable, non-institutional, peaceful environments.

• Insurance Accepted: Unlike many other facilities, we work with most major managed care companies. We have many active contracts with insurance carriers, and are the Preferred Provider for many major insurance companies. We also routinely petition out-of-network carriers to extend benefits to their members. We encourage callers to speak with Program Information Coordinators at 1-800-RENFREW to explore their insurance benefits. Coordinators will work with individuals to create a financial plan that meets the need of each prospective Renfrew patient.

• The Joint Commission Accreditation: We have earned accreditation by the prestigious Joint Commission, which assures that we meet or exceed rigorous standards.
