The therapy is decent. They give you A LOT of food, and the quality of the food is low.

Do not come here. Though there are counselors here that seem like they care, there are def ones that don’t seem like they do. I would leave every session sobbing, and not because I had “made a break through” or “opened up.” It was because I was made to feel worthless and less than and broken. There’s a counselor in particular that I really really dislike. It’s been over a year since I’ve been there and I still hold the same hatred because she made me feel so badly about myself. Maybe she didn’t intentionally make me feel that way, but it doesn’t matter. It shouldn’t have even gotten to that point to begin with.I’m giving two stars because I met a lot of amazing women there—other patients—and it was honestly so nice to connect with others going through similar things as I was. Other than that, it was not good.I only went to renfrew because it was the only institution my insurance covered. I have not been to any other centers since. If you have the means, I would suggest spending more money to attend a place that is more attuned and caring for your individual needs than just picking a place because insurance covers it.One last thing: when you’re here, you’re so so vulnerable. I’ve never felt as unprotected as I felt here. In my opinion, renfrew should either train or vet their employees better to make sure they can accommodate their patients because it’s supposed to be an environment where you feel comfortable opening up and tackling the deepest, darkest parts of yourself.

Please do not come here. They have a one plan fits all mindset and their staff is never consistent and they are just all around horrible. This was my experience with outpatient... imagine how residential is. Please choose another place if you can.

Honestly this place changed my life. It didnt seem major at first but how I think of food and my body is just different down to my everyday thoughts. Its not going to be easy at all. When I went to renfrew I had already been in some form of treatment so some of my work was already in progress. I think it was the push I needed in recovery. I do believe that I am still recovering and not everyday is perfect but this place has a lot of mental health professionals that care. I wasnt always a big talker in the groups but I definitely learned a lot about myself and others. I do recommend this treatment for anyone thats really struggling and is looking for a community.

Renfrew saved my life. I was in the thick of my eating disorder when I came. I am so grateful for the warmth and support of this community. I felt so safe and loved. Thank you to all the staff.

Renfrew is an awful place and if I could give it zero stars I would. You guys err just focused on the weight aspect of eating disorders and made it so that the social aspect of meal times was ruined with the looming nutrient drink that was over our heads if we didn’t conpletely clean our plates. Furthermore when I tried to leave you guys wouldn’t let me even though I insisted multiple times that I had too and you even called social services knowing that that’s was completely unnecessary. You guys further put me in a black hole and worsened my disordered eating. I hate you guys.

This was a really bad place for me (the worst experience in my life), cause no one is listening to you and all they have in plan is to gain weight, your mental and physical health do not interest them much, only the number on a scale. After being with them for a month and deciding to leave, they were hesistent to provide any recomendation with regards to private therapists or any further assistance (when I needed a document for insurance), awful place
