A Day at EHN Sandstone Recovery Centre's Private Eating Disorder Treatment Program
At EHN Sandstone Recovery Centre, our clinical and nutritional experts thoughtfully design every aspect of inpatient care to create the best possible environment for eating disorder recovery. While each person’s plan is individualized and we continually refine our approach based on current evidence, here’s an example of what a typical day in our Private Eating Disorder Treatment Program might look like.
Meals & Snacks
Shared, family-style dining is a core part of the day. Meals and snacks are supported by staff who provide gentle guidance and structured meal pacing to help you stay on track. Our two Red Seal chefs prepare high-quality, balanced meals, and staff join for all meals to offer additional support and encouragement.

Therapeutic programming runs seven days a week and includes both individual and group counselling. Masters-level clinicians use evidence-based approaches and tailor sessions to your goals, providing education, skills practice, and compassionate support throughout your stay.
Activities
Guided activities help you reconnect with rest, creativity, and community. Depending on the day, you might participate in yoga, art, movies, games, or crafts—each designed to reduce stress, build coping skills, and round out a balanced daily routine.
