When I arrived at EBITC I was desperate. I had a lifetime of dieting and bingeing and knew nothing about eating disorders. I just knew I could not stop restricting and bingeing. Since I am from a state without treatment for eating disorders, I spent two months there. In the beginning, I had a long list of food I would not eat...my fear foods.

I would highly caution anyone who looks to seek treatment here. The stove was broken and there was no chef, which made food inconsistent. Meal plans were numbers/calories-based.

I left and went somewhere else, but I can't imagine any healing could actually be done here.
When I was admitted, the stove was broken and not yet fixed PLUS there was no chef. Menus were always changing because of that but they don't always inform us the changes, and meal times were very often delayed. Please be reminded that it's an eating disorder residential treatment facility. I don't disagree with the previous review that this new facility is a joke, and shady management.
How dare you have pretended to be a professionally run facility and charge the thousands, and thousands of dollars you did, for WHAT?! You have some nerve admitting truly sick patients who absolutely need help and offering NOTHING appropriate in return. For anyone considering going there or sending a loved one there: They do not even have the professionalism to return phone calls or respond to emails after they have taken your money. This place is an absolute mess and have caused a lot of emotional and psychological damage. ... read more
The new residential facility in Frederick, Md is a joke ( an expensive one). The staff is inexperienced in eating disorders, self harm or anxiety. Both Andrew awaken and Francis Iacobucci are NOT part of the program. Very expensive ($1000) a day if you pay out of pocket. Shady management
