About

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.

What sets us apart

The Renfrew Center opened in 1985 as the first residential treatment facility in the U.S. focused solely on eating disorders, and it remains a family-owned and operated organization rooted in its founding mission. Coupled with its evidence-based Unified Treatment Model and full continuum of care, Renfrew blends clinical expertise with a deeply relational, individualized approach that honors each person's journey to recovery.

Treatment Models

The Renfrew Center’s Unified Treatment Model focuses on treating the whole person, not just eating disorder behaviors. At Renfrew, care is individualized rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, adapting to each person’s needs, strengths, and stage of recovery. The model brings together evidence-based therapies, nutrition support, and medical care to address the emotional, physical, and relational factors that sustain eating disorders. By helping individuals build coping skills, strengthen self-trust, and reconnect with their bodies, the Unified Treatment Model supports meaningful and lasting change.
