    Harvard Square is a living neighborhood — cafés, shops, transit, community. Patients practice recovery in real, everyday settings, making the transition home more natural.

  • Continuity of care across every level

    Step down from residential to PHP to IOP with your treatment history, plan, and progress moving with you at each stage of recovery.

  • More than 25 years of specialized experience

    CEDC has provided specialized eating disorder treatment since 2000, with a multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, therapists, and registered dietitians.

  • Easy to reach from anywhere in Greater Boston

    Steps from the Harvard Square Red Line station — accessible for families visiting and for PHP and IOP patients commuting from across the region.
