EHN Sandstone Recovery Centre

EHN Sandstone Recovery Centre is dedicated to treating eating disorders in youth and adolescents.

Dedicated to the treatment of eating disorders in adolescents and young adults, EHN Sandstone Recovery Centre provides a safe place to work toward recovery. We offer around-the-clock support from our experienced and compassionate staff, including physicians, nurses, counsellors, support staff, and a registered dietitian. Individualized care plans guide patients through each step of the recovery process, and younger patients have the opportunity to keep up on their school work. As of February 1, 2024, we no longer offer treatment for addiction or mental health disorders at EHN Sandstone Recovery Centre (formerly Sandstone Inpatient Treatment Centre). If you are looking for information about addiction or mental health disorder programs, please explore our offerings at EHN Edgewood Rockies (formerly Recovery Ranch).

No, eating disorders are serious, often life-threatening mental illnesses driven by a combination of genetics, trauma, neurobiology, and environment.

Telling someone with an eating disorder to “just eat” is like telling someone with depression to “just be happy.” If recovery were that simple, no one would be suffering in silence.

Meal support is a vital part of recovery at EHN Sandstone. During each meal and snack, clients are guided by trained staff who provide calm, structured support and help reduce distress around eating.

This process helps normalize food, reduce fear, and challenge eating disorder behaviours in real time. It also gives clients the skills they need to eventually eat independently and confidently.

Food is part of the healing process and we approach it with compassion and care.

Eating disorders are not simply about food or appearance. They are serious mental health conditions often rooted in trauma, anxiety, emotional regulation difficulties, and the need for control.

EHN Sandstone offers specialized, evidence-based care for adolescents and young adults living with these complex conditions.

Our approach supports healing at every level—emotional, physical, and psychological.

At EHN Sandstone Recovery Centre, we offer compassionate, evidence-based eating disorder treatment for adolescents and young adults in a real-world, community setting.

Our integrative model includes nutritional rehabilitation with supervised meals, individual therapy for reflection and goal-setting, and family sessions to support healing at home. We use DBT to build emotional regulation and mindfulness, and CBT to challenge harmful thought patterns and behaviours.

Clients participate in process groups, psychoeducation, and life skills sessions to build insight and resilience. Wellness activities like yoga and art therapy support body connection, while medication-assisted therapy is available when needed.

Orthorexia is an eating disorder rooted not in the desire to lose weight, but in the fear of eating “wrong.” It’s the compulsive pursuit of purity by avoiding foods with additives, obsessing over labels, cutting out entire groups in the name of “health.” What starts as a lifestyle can quickly become a cage.

Orthorexia is anxiety, guilt, and control, all disguised as discipline. But make no mistake: this is not balance. This is fear with a fork. And it can be just as dangerous as any other eating disorder.

Many signs often go unnoticed. These can include changes in weight, rigid food rules or rituals, eating in secret, social withdrawal, and a constant preoccupation with body image or food. If you recognize these patterns in someone close to you, trust your instincts.

EHN Sandstone provides specialized treatment and support for individuals aged 12 to 24. Early intervention can make a meaningful difference. We are here to help.

This is where quiet moments happen between therapy sessions, where connections form, and where clients begin to feel safe in stillness again.

For many, recovery involves learning how to be in a body, in a room, in a relationship, but with less fear. This space is designed for that kind of healing. It’s calm, comfortable, and held with care by our team.

Anorexia nervosa has the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric illness — yes, higher than depression, higher than substance use. That’s not opinion, that’s what decades of research and data have consistently shown.

And yet it’s still misunderstood, still minimized, still framed as a lifestyle choice or a quest for thinness. The truth is, eating disorders are not about vanity. They are about pain. When that pain goes unseen or untreated, it can become deadly. Many suffer in silence, ashamed to be struggling with food in a world obsessed with control.

Early intervention can be lifesaving and the time to talk is now.

If you or someone you love is struggling with disordered eating, we can help.

In a world that tells us to keep our struggles quiet and our bodies smaller, group therapy offers something radical—connection.

Group therapy breaks that cycle, creating a space where experiences are both heard and understood. Where guilt after eating, fear of judgment, and the constant mental calculations aren’t strange or taboo but shared and validated.

Research shows that peer connection can reduce symptoms, improve body image, and support long-term recovery. When someone else says out loud the thing you’ve been afraid to admit, something shifts. Healing begins.

Eating disorders come in many forms, and they affect people of all body types, genders, and backgrounds.

You don’t have to be underweight to be struggling. You don’t have to look sick to need help. For many, the signs are subtle, hidden, or deliberately masked. That’s why assumptions can be dangerous.

At EHN Sandstone Recovery Centre, we listen carefully, ask different questions, and provide care that’s shaped around the full picture—not just weight or appearance.
