Wellness Recovery Center Opens New Residential Eating Disorder Treatment Center in Orange County

The Tustin Ranch-area facility offers 24/7 inpatient care in a residential setting for adults 18 and older living with eating disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions

SANTA ANA, CA / ACCESS Newswire / September 24, 2026 / Wellness Recovery Center has opened a new residential eating disorder treatment center in the Tustin Ranch area of Orange County, expanding access to specialized, round-the-clock care for adults across Southern California and beyond.

Located at 12061 Browning Ave, Santa Ana, CA 92705, the center provides residential treatment for adults 18 and older who are navigating a complicated relationship with food, their body, or themselves. Programming is built around individualized treatment plans, 24/7 medical and clinical oversight, and a care team that includes licensed therapists, registered dietitians, nurses, and psychiatric providers.

A Growing Need for Specialized Care in Orange County

Eating disorders are among the most serious mental health conditions, and they rarely appear alone. Many people seeking treatment are also managing anxiety, depression, trauma, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or other co-occurring conditions – and finding a program equipped to treat all of it at once can be difficult, particularly at the residential level of care.

Wellness Recovery Center was designed to close that gap locally, so people in Orange County and the surrounding region can begin treatment without leaving their support systems behind.

Conditions Treated

The center provides residential care for a range of feeding and eating disorders, including:

• Anorexia nervosa and atypical anorexia
• Bulimia nervosa
• Binge eating disorder (BED)
• Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID)
• Rumination disorder
• Other specified feeding or eating disorder (OSFED)

Integrated treatment is also available for co-occurring conditions such as anxiety disorders, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and body dysmorphic disorder.

A Narrative-Centered Clinical Approach

Clinically, the program is anchored in narrative therapy – an approach that helps clients separate their identity from the disorder and reconnect with their own values and strengths. That foundation is paired with evidence-based modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, body image therapy, group therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, nutritional counseling and meal support, and psychiatric medication management.

Residents stay in private and shared rooms in a quiet, distraction-free setting, with structured aftercare and discharge planning built into treatment from the start. The center offers LGBTQIA+ affirming, trauma-informed care and accepts most major insurance plans, with eligibility verification available through the admissions team.

Admissions

Admissions are available 24/7. To learn more, verify insurance benefits, or begin the intake process, call (949) 738-9855 or visit wellnessrecoverycenter.com/insurance-verification/.
