Before the new location, this was a wonderful treatment center with personalized care and genuine compassion from most staff; however, after changing names and moving to the new location I would strongly discourage someone from choosing this place.Instead of being supportive and friendly, staff act superior and condescending. The rules make you feel like youre in prison... Im not sure they still have this rule, but no one was allowed to have a blanket or sit casually in the room. Remember - these are people with eating disorders!! Were freaking cold all the time!They try to intimidate you into eating and will threaten to call insurance if you disobey.They also have a twelve week rotation, so you better hope you get better in 12 weeks because if not, youre doing the exact same thing over again. They print off worksheets and exercises and do not think of anything unique on their own; might as well google cognitive behavioral therapy and eating disorder recovery worksheets and that is all they do for you.Sadly, they care more about money and expanding their business more than caring for patients. It lost all personal touch when it left the old location.Finally, it was ineffective. The majority of the girls I was in group with here relapsed.

TLDR: Go if you need help.ERC, well lets see. I was worse off when I went in and better off when I left and much of that has to do with the structure of the programming.The team works hard to help you get better as a team and you will not get that in out patient unless you really push for it which is hard to do if you are really sick. They are open to your complaints and take them seriously but you do have to speak up and stand up for what you need ( as you learn what that is)My two complaints1- price- they do everything they can to keep cost low but treatment is still in the thousand of dollars which leads to a lack of diversity in the milieu which can start to look very young and white.2- the bhc (not your trained dietitian, or therapist)but the people who lead some of the groups can sometimes feel like they are just reading a script or are less than prepared to handle the full range of emotions that can come up during treatment but they really do try.

Be wary if you have good insurance. They will keep you as long as insurance covers treatment regardless of your progress. If you try to leave AMA, they will make it difficult to get treatment at a later time. Goal weights are also higher than reasonable as they set my goal weight a good 20 pounds higher than my highest healthy adult weight. I do think this was also an attempt to keep me longer. My weight would not budge past a bmi of 18 even though I was on 4000 calories a day. All vitals and bloodwork were stable, but they still wanted me to gain an additional 15 pounds. Be very very careful.

I have struggled with a eating disorder most of my life and Ive been admitted into several programs. Until I came to ERC I had never fully surrendered and was in complete denial about my ED. After a few weeks things started to make sense. But I was still denying that I had a ED. I was scared and had no idea what I was doing yet in another program! Little did I know this program saved my life! The staff are loving and supportive. I felt safe for the first time in a long time! I would highly recommend Eating Recovery Center of the Carolinas (Greenville SC)to anyone struggling with a eating disorder. I felt loved, understood and most of all I felt heard. I knew the team was fighting for me 100%HUGE THANKS TO THE STAFF FOR HELPING ME AND LOVING ON ME UNTIL I COULD LOVE MYSELF~Pam W~

ERC-Carolinas saved my life. Although going to treatment was terrifying and challenging, the staff at ERC-Carolinas was always caring and supportive. They believed in me when I did not believe in myself. The center is a safe place for someone working through the complexity of an eating disorder, and I would recommend this to anyone ready to recover. You will be welcomed with smiles and treated with respect and kindness every day you are in program.

I was a patient at ERC for two and a half weeks. Ask me why.1.) I took a medicine called Periactin that helped decrease my anxiety before meals. Well, as soon as I walked in the door of this place, they took me off of it. After I was taken off, these people didnt give me my other medicine unless I asked for it. Sometimes theyd forget to give it to me, theyd give it to me at the wrong times, and eventually, I ended up just having to start taking it at home while everyone else took their medicine at ERC.2.) When I walked in and started with the adolescents, I noticed they ewre very clique-y. I didnt feel very welcome by some of the other patients, and I felt very out of place with them.3.) During my first week, I cried a total of 11 times and vomited twice. I cried because I didnt like it there and wanted to do PHP (Partial Hospitalization Programming) at Veritas Collaborative where I had previously been before coming to ERC. The woman I said this to responded with, Thats what we call the Veritas bubble. Youre in the real world now. Both of my parents were in the room when this was said, and both were extremely angry at the womans sassy remark. When I vomited the second time, I was with one of the psychiatrists there. The psychiatrist handed me wet wipes and tissues after I had vomited and told me to clean it up off of her floor and her couch.4.) These people made very rude remarks saying that I never really had an eating disorder and that it was just my anxiety. They also said that Veritas had kept me in inpatient longer than they were supposed to. I dont know why theyd say this about me because they werent there to see my behaviors when I was in Veritas. I was severely anorexic and was almost given a feeding tube while in Veritas because I wasnt eating. I didnt think they gave you a feeding tube for anxiety.5.) While I was at ERC, I cried in total 13 times and vomited three times. My mom told me that she felt as if these people were bullying me into eating and finishing my meals. Every time I didnt finish a meal, Id have to boost. The only kind of boost supplement they had were the drinks, and the drinks were what made me vomit. The only time I vomited was when I completed 8 ounces of the boost. I told the people there that many, many times, but no one listened. And once when I had told them that I had done my best and just absolutely could not do anymore, one of the ladies told me that it wasnt good enough.6.) After telling my parents everything that was going on there, my parents had spoken with them multiple times about the way they had been treating me. Eventually, insurance denied me ever going back there again and showed my mom the report that ERC had written about me. Their report to insurance stated that I had refused to take my medicine and avoided programming. I had to ASK THEM for my medicine every single day until the nurse told me that I just needed to start taking it at home. AND I had to miss programming four days because I had gotten sick with 3 stomach bugs, Mono, AND an infection in my digestive system. I had a medical note from my pediatrician STATING that I NEEDED to miss because I was contagious.7.) At ERC, we play table games while we eat to distract ourselves and make it easier to finish our meals. Well, on my very first day there, I taught them a new table game. The TA (therapeutic assistant) told me that I wasnt allowed to play until I had finished eating. Well, there were other adolescents playing the table game that werent finished eating. No, I wasnt letting the game keep me from eating. I was eating at a normal regular pace and doing fine.There were a few people there that were kind and didnt do anything that upset me or my parents. I hope youve taken the time to read this far and understand everything Ive mentioned. I also hope everyone understands that Im not posting this review because Im angry. I just dont want anyone else to be treated the same way I was.
