Eating Disorder Treatment Centers of Louisiana

Specializing in treating eating disorders, this center offers a safe place for women to take the first step toward long-lasting recovery. Eating Disorder Treatment Centers of Louisiana (EDTC) works with its sister facility, Longbranch Recovery, to help treat any co-occurring drug and alcohol addiction and mental health conditions for seamless, specialized support. This integrated approach ensures all symptoms and aspects of clients' behavioral health needs are addressed at the same time, leading to better and longer lasting treatment results.
EDTC combines medical, clinical, and wellness methods for a whole-person approach to eating disorder treatment. Because eating disorders often involve complex medical needs, the program includes supervised medical and nutritional support to help restore proper nutrition. They use evidence-based therapies and gradually expose clients to new foods in a safe and supportive environment. EDTC also teaches practical techniques like breathing, movement, and mindfulness to support emotional regulation around eating. Whenever necessary, EDTC will communicate with other healthcare providers for coordinated care.
EDTC helps heal family relationships and offers support for family members who already have a loved one in treatment or are looking for help for a family member. They provide education on eating disorders through in-person workshops along with family support groups, where loved ones can find strength in community. EDTC will also communicate with families during treatment of their loved one as appropriate and with consent.
Every client will receive personalized meal plans that consider their unique nutritional needs and recovery goals. EDTC staff provides guided meal support in a structured and supportive setting that helps individuals move towards a healthy relationship with food. They also offer 1-on-1 sessions with a dietitian to set goals and navigate challenges around food and eating.
