The Renfrew Center saved my life. After 18 years of struggling with an eating disorder, at Renfrew I finally learned how to feel my feelings, utilize tools to manage my emotions, and nurture myself. Since I completed treatment in 2017, I have flourished emotionally, interpersonally, and professionally. I feel like I am thriving, and that wouldn’t be possible without the foundation of recovery that Renfrew helped me establish. I am forever grateful!
