Lodging Accommodations 


Esperanza understands that sometimes an obstacle to getting treatment can be location. This is why we have established a relationship with the local Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Antonio. They are committed to assisting in the health and well-being of children by offering free accommodations for a family member and their adolescent during time in eating disorder treatment.

If you are considering treatment and live outside the San Antonio area, please connect with our Intake Coordinator, Dessimber Lauber, LVN for an assessment. To receive details on this housing opportunity contact Beth Confer, Director of Community Outreach at 210.749.1030 or email bethc@EsperanzaEDC.com.

SHOULD I BE CONCERNED?

If you answer “yes” to one or more of these questions, an evaluation by an experienced eating disorder professional could help with assessment and treatment recommendations:

  • Do you find yourself preoccupied with thoughts of food?
  • Do you ever eat in secret due to feelings of shame?
  • Do you find yourself eating until you are uncomfortably full?
  • Does your weight affect the way you feel about yourself?
  • Have any members of your family suffered from an eating disorder?
  • Are you fearful of gaining weight or becoming fat?
  • Do you experience anxiety or distress about eating habits and weight?
  • Do you often feel like your eating is out of control?
  • Do you often avoid eating with your family or in public?
  • Do you ever vomit or over-exercise to compensate for calories consumed?

Esperanza EDC is in network with the following insurers:

  • Aetna
  • Blue Cross/Blue Shield
  • Cigna
  • Community First Commercial
  • ComPsych
  • Humana
  • Magellan Health
  • Medicare
  • Optum
  • Tricare/TriWest
  • TriWest VA CCN
  • United Healthcare

We are pursuing provider contracts with all major insurers. While contracts are in process, we will actively negotiate individual contracts to help patients get the care they need.

Admissions Process
Our screening clinician will gather information about symptoms and behaviors, type of care you are looking for, and specifics of insurance coverage to verify benefits. Next an intake evaluation with a doctoral or master's level clinician will be scheduled.

Referrals to Higher Levels of Care (HLOC)
EEDC staff refers patients to HLOC when necessary. After reviewing an intake or assessment, the EEDC Medical Director, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, and Clinical Director decide if HLOC is needed for individuals who are medically unstable, at risk of refeeding syndrome, require more structured living situations, or need specific treatment for co-morbidities.

The assessed person will be contacted by EEDC intake staff (MD, NP, CD) with referrals for HLOC, and if needed a meeting will be arranged to discuss HLOC in person with the individual and their support/caretakers. If a current patient needs HLOC, treating providers will meet with the individual or caretakers to discuss the referral.
