Satori House - Eating Disorder Living Facility

Our society's emphasis on appearance and idealization of thinness promotes dangerous dieting behavior and obscures those in need of treatment. Learn more about eating disorders here.

Many young children in our society feel badly about their bodies and are encouraged to engage in unhealthy dieting behaviors.

Sometimes the structure of residential treatment is necessary to interrupt eating disorder behaviour.

Anorexia nervosa is the 3rd most common chronic illness among adolescents. Many young children report feeling badly about their bodies and are encouraged to diet.

The mental anguish of an eating disorder is tremendous, and may persist well beyond the medical consequences. Depression and anxiety are often common. Contact us if you suspect a loved one is suffering from an eating disorder.

Full recovery can take months to years, but early interventions and appropriate levels of care can improve prognosis. Click here to learn more about Shoreline's philosophy to eating disorder treatment.

Eating disorders do not discriminate: male and female, young and old, all economic classes and races are affected. Shoreline provides many levels of care for adolescents and adults, males and females. Click here to read more about our programs.

Welcome to Shoreline California Eating Disorder Treatment Center

Where We Integrate Recovery with Life

Since 1995, Shoreline Center for Eating Disorder Treatment has successfully been helping individuals achieve recovery from anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder for both men and women. We offer personalized, compassionate programs, delivered by highly-trained and experienced eating disorder experts, many of whom are recovered themselves.

The journey of recovery from an eating disorder can be scary and challenging. Not only for the individual trying to break free from the dominating and familiar sounds of their thoughts and behaviors, but also for the family and friends who are trying to support their eating disorder recovery process.

Shoreline specializes in the treatment of:

Anorexia Nervosa
Bulimia Nervosa
Binge Eating Disorder (BED)
Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorder (OSFED)
Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)

We believe that eating disorder symptoms have been useful to a person in some way. This may sound strange, but whether they have helped disguise unhappy feelings, reduce intense bouts of anxiety or relieve the frustration of feeling out of control, the symptoms have worked to temporarily disguise inner conflict, even if at a great cost. We work with clients to develop new ways of coping with those intense emotions, without resorting to self-destructive behaviors. We recognize that it is rarely the case that an individual comes in with “just” an eating disorder. We often treat co-occurring depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, self-injury and substance abuse. Our eating disorder treatment programs are comprehensive and include interventions for complex situations.

Thank you for guiding, teaching and working with my daughter over the of the last several months. There really are not words to express our gratitude to all of you. She has worked so hard and come so far and learned so much about herself and her eating disorder. Your kindness, patience and firmness (in a good way) and knowledge will stay with us and as we go forward in this journey. Shoreline has been a place for her to learn, get well and find strength to battle her eating disorder. Thank you again for everything. All the best."

"What separates Shoreline from other ED centers is Satori and how phenomenal the therapists are. They care deeply about everybody and really know us. They keep in mind all aspects of a person, they know the ED is just part of the bigger picture. We talk not just about the past, but also about our inner adult. They help us see our recovery months and years down the road."
