Who is Residential living treatment for?
People of all sizes
All bodies deserve to be nourished. We provide weight and size inclusive care in all residential eating disorder programs because we know that healthy, recovered people come in all shapes and sizes. This means that our treatment will focus on behavior rather than weight-focused philosophies.
All ages and genders
Our residential living treatment provides gender-affirming, culturally aware, and trauma-informed care so that everyone feels welcome and safe and they can focus on healing.
We have programs to best serve you in your stage of life. Our teams are specialized in adolescent and adult treatment.
All diagnoses
We treat all eating disorders and co-occurring conditions. Our Residential Living treatment programs provide clients with structured, 24/7 access to care.

Admissions will advise you with the most up to date packing list before you join us. However, here are items to remember:
Clothing: We suggest you bring casual, comfortable clothing as well as layers to accommodate different temperatures. This includes 1-2 weeks’ worth of comfortable clothing, undergarments, pajamas, two sets of clothes for yoga, comfortable shoes, and slippers. Some programs may have a pool, and usage is determined by the local team. Please check with admissions if packing a swimsuit is advised. You will be able to use the laundry facilities weekly.
Medications: Bring at least a 30-day supply of current medications or vitamins in original prescription containers. Our medical provider will write any additional prescriptions as needed. If a medication you take is difficult to find, notify us before admission so we can plan.
Personal Items: Bring toiletries (e.g., shampoo, conditioner, body wash, deodorant, toothpaste, and brush) and cosmetics you use daily. You may also bring hair styling tools, razors, tweezers, and nail accessories. For the safety of all clients, some items may be held when you are not using them.
Valuables: Money may be needed for outings when they occur. Bringing a credit card is preferable for your safety, but you may bring a small amount of cash if you do not have access to one.
Self-Care: Bring things that help ground and comfort you (e.g., musical instruments, coloring books, religious texts, a favorite blanket).
Technology: You may bring your cell phone, but please note that you will not have access to it unless there is an emergency or potentially until the end of your stay when the team deems it appropriate.
Personal Identification: You will need a copy of your driver’s license, passport, or other ID card, as well as a copy of your insurance card.
School Materials: Adolescent clients will have school 5 days per week, so bring whatever you need for current courses (e.g., books, laptop, or tablet). We partner with Learn Well to meet your educational needs year-round. You will have access to your laptop or tablet only during school times.
What NOT to Bring: food items, towels, bedding, sentimental or highly valuable items (e.g., expensive jewelry or electronics). We cannot be responsible for lost items. Please also arrange to be dropped off at the treatment center, as you are not permitted to drive and park your car onsite during the duration of your stay.
Visitors can bring you additional approved items, or you can purchase additional items online or on outings as needed.
If you have more questions or hesitations, we’re here to help. Please contact our admissions team at 888.228.1253 or fill out the form, and someone from our team will reach out to you soon to assist you.
