The Olive Tree Inc is a unique eating disorder residential treatment facility located in Rexburg, Idaho. It was founded by Cynthia McCurdy and opened in January of 2009 to give hope to women throughout Idaho and surrounding areas. We believe that eating disorders are 100% recoverable, and we are here to help.

We acknowledge the courage individuals demonstrate when they struggle to overcome an eating disorder. We believe that together we can achieve many victories on the journey to recovery. Our mission and goal is to provide the tools that give women hope for a brighter tomorrow.

The Olive Tree’s vision is to provide quality, coordinated, team oriented community based care to young women affected by eating disorders. Our mission is to provide clinically directed medical, psychological, dietary, recreational and family services within a supervised, home-like atmosphere. Our goal is to provide services to young women who are also willing to accept and actively pursue the concept that an education or career development program is an integral component of their clinical program.
