Massachusetts Locations

Massachusetts is home to our flagship location and national eating disorder treatment headquarters. With care facilities conveniently located near Boston – one of the nation’s leading hubs of medical and clinical innovation, we offer all levels of specialized eating disorder care for children, teens and adults of all genders. Our specialized programs across the state include the only dedicated eating disorder hospital, one of the nation’s only athlete-specific eating disorder programs and treatment offerings for adults living with binge eating disorder. In addition to our hospital, we also have a residential program in Dedham and satellite locations providing day and evening programs.

Because we know that eating disorders thrive in secrecy, we do our best to include family and/or loved ones into your treatment as much as possible. The focal point of our adolescent treatment program is the Family-Based Treatment approach and is designed to give parents an active and positive role in helping their child to reduce disordered eating behaviors, restore weight and resume proper adolescent development. Our welcoming and compassionate care team look forward to supporting you on your healing journey.

Adolescent Intensive Outpatient Eating Disorder Treatment

Designed for teens in need of more structured support than their outpatient team can provide, this level of care utilizes Family-Based Treatment, an evidence-based intervention proven to support lasting eating disorder recovery that is meant to equip you and your family with the skills necessary to best help your child.

Ideal for teens in need of medical stabilization and highly structured 24-hour support, this program introduces aspects of Family-Based Treatment (FBT) while providing medical and psychological stabilization.
