24-hour Care with the Comforts of Home
Our adult residential eating disorder program, located in Dunwoody, is the only adult residential eating disorder program in Georgia and provides an intimate, home-like setting for adults who need a more structured and monitored treatment environment. One thing people are often surprised to learn is that you don’t have to be a Georgia resident to seek treatment there, and often there is not a waitlist, so you can begin treatment right away.
Walden offers specialized eating disorder support at varying levels of care for adults, and we treat all genders and all diagnoses. Our diverse team of care professionals has experience working with all types of people and understands that all healing journeys are unique. Day and evening eating disorder treatment programs are also available online through our Alpharetta, Georgia location.

What is treatment like at our Georgia residential facility?
Our house is a warm and welcoming place for all with a knowledgeable, friendly, and caring staff. Individuals in our residential program have access to a dedicated team of care professionals including a dietitian, nurse, therapist, and mental health counselor. Together, the team develops a personalized treatment plan and goals to help guide our clients on their path to recovery.
Offering cozy, home-like environments, our treatment spaces are designed to provide residents with the support they need. We welcome all individuals who are medically stable, and we are here to help our residents prepare for real-life experiences outside of treatment including grocery shopping and dining out.
During treatment, clients will be encouraged to cook and prepare their own meals while receiving help from compassionate staff members who are trained in evidence-based therapies including CBT and DBT.
