Overview
Eating Disorder Treatment covers specialized programs providing intensive inpatient, partial-hospitalization (PHP), and outpatient care for eating disorders. It is a high-acuity, specialized niche led by dedicated platforms (Monte Nido, Eating Recovery Center) serving a complex, often long-duration patient population.
Demand has grown with rising recognition and prevalence of eating disorders, and private equity has built multi-site treatment platforms. The intensive, residential nature of care makes it capital- and labor-intensive, with reimbursement and length-of-stay central to the economics.
Market snapshot
No discrete Census NAICS code — eating-disorder treatment sits within residential (623220) and outpatient behavioral classifications, so the segment is not separately sized by the Census Bureau.
