Residential Eating Disorder Treatment for Adults in Los Angeles, CA
Reconnect with yourself in a welcoming, home-like environment designed for healing.
Affirming Eating Disorder Treatment: Why Choose Us?
The residential treatment program at Reasons Eating Disorder Center helps adults (18+) in strengthening recovery and creating a life that feels meaningful and sustainable. We offer two tranquil, private locations in the L.A. area where you’ll find the structure and immersive therapy you need to heal.
At Reasons, inclusive care is at the core of our treatment philosophy. We believe that people of color, the LGBTQ+ community and people in larger bodies deserve access to high-quality eating disorder care. We create a person-centered, affirming space where you can feel safe sharing your experiences and perspective.
When you turn to us for care, you’ll find:
- Affirming providers: Psychiatrists, therapists, nurses and dietitians provide care that respects your identity, including using your chosen name and pronouns.
- Gender-diverse facilities: We offer one residence for all genders and another for people who identify as female or non-binary so that everyone can feel, safe, supported and respected.
- 24/7 nursing care: Nurses are on duty at all times to check your health, manage medications and address any medical complications that arise.
- High staff-to-patient ratio: Our residential homes are intentionally small, allowing for more one-on-one support and individualized care from our treatment team.
Who Needs a Residential Eating Disorder Program?
Residential treatment at Reasons is a live-in program for people who need structured, immersive therapy and 24-hour support in a home-like setting. It is designed for individuals who are medically stable but still benefit from consistent therapeutic care, meal support, and close staff presence throughout the day and night.
Residential care offers a unique opportunity to live in a supportive environment while practicing recovery skills in real time — working through daily challenges, strengthening coping strategies, and preparing for life at home. This setting allows you to focus on healing while building confidence in navigating relationships, routines, and everyday stressors.
Our Approach to Eating Disorder Treatment
At Reasons, eating disorder treatment begins with understanding the whole person. Our whole-person approach supports physical health, emotional well-being, and mental health together, with care that adapts to each person’s needs and lived experience. We also specialize in treating co-occurring conditions such as depression, anxiety, trauma-related concerns, and substance use, so recovery reflects the full picture of each individual’s life.
Residential treatment involves:
- Individual, group and family therapy
- Daily psychiatrist visits
- Behavioral therapies
- Creative therapies, such as yoga, art and writing
- Nutritional rehabilitation and supported meals
- Process groups that discuss topics such as, beyond body image, coping skills and relapse prevention
- Trauma-informed care
- Pet therapy through our partnership with SoulPaws
- Equine-assisted therapy to support emotional awareness, connection, and confidence
- Life skills and experiential activities, such as cooking, grocery shopping, and guided nature walks

Exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy
ERP therapy is an important part of residential treatment for adults. This evidence-based approach supports you in gradually facing foods and situations that feel stressful or anxiety-provoking, so they become more manageable over time.
With guidance from your treatment team, you build new ways of responding to urges and distress — reducing eating disorder behaviors such as purging, bingeing, or compulsive exercise. Exposures are practiced both within the residence and in the community to help you strengthen real-life coping skills and feel more confident navigating daily life.
Recovery After Residential Treatment
After residential treatment, you can continue your recovery in our virtual outpatient program for adults. We offer a full-day partial hospitalization program (PHP) and half-day intensive outpatient program (IOP). Virtual care lets you receive treatment from the comfort and privacy of home with flexible scheduling that fits your busy life.
