The Renfrew Center, a multi-generational, family-owned eating disorder treatment organization, has been a pioneer since opening the nation's first residential facility in 1985. With 15 locations nationwide and virtual care in 25+ states through Renfrew@Home, we have supported more than 100,000 adolescent girls, women, transgender, and non-binary individuals on the path to recovery. Our evidence-based treatment addresses the full range of eating disorders—anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating—along with co-occurring presentations such as anxiety, depression, and trauma. Care is grounded in The Renfrew Center Unified Treatment Model for Eating Disorders?, part of Oxford University Press’s Treatments That Work series, with outcomes published in peer-reviewed journals. We offer a full continuum of care, from Residential to Day Treatment, Intensive Outpatient, and Outpatient Services, tailored to each individual’s unique needs.
