Question by Jess: Does anyone have experience with the Eating Recovery Center of Denver?

Best answer:

Answer by Sarah
I recommend Eating Recovery Center. They have been open for about a year and just expanded to have more inpatient beds because of the increasing need to be able to accommodate more patients in their treatment program. The doctors that founded the center are Dr. Weiner and Dr. Bishop and both have worked in the eating disorders field for 25+ years.

The center is a licensed hospital but feels warm and welcoming. There is a lot of beautiful artwork and modern decor, with carpeted hallways and rooms, and bedrooms that feel more like home than a sterile white hospital. The staff is very nice and help create a peaceful recovery environment.
