Has anyone ever been to an eating disorder treatment center and or do you know of a good one? I am suffering from bulimia and am looking for a good eating disorder treatment center. My parents and I want the best for me, but we have to find a place that takes blue cross insurance (ppo, or something).

Do you know of an Eating Disorder treatment facility that is relatively inexpensive? I have Anorexia Nervosa & it's cyclical so I've gotten better & worse for the past 6 years. Right now it's getting worse over a breakup that I feel I didn't have control of (we both didn't want to break up but we had to due to external factors). My bf was from Lebanon & he loved me with curves so I started to love myself like that. And it's a bit embarrassing since I'm going to school to be a clinical psychologist, specializing in the treatment of eating disorders of children & adolescents, but I can't seem to shake my own yet. I know resident treatment facilites are really helpful, but I already have a therapist, psychiatrist, MD, and nutritionist helping me but I continue to spiral down. I'd love to be able to enjoy a meal again without having to worry about its effect on my body besides fueling it to survive. Treatment facilities are pricey though, & your insurance usually runs out mid-treatment. Do you know of any inexpensive treatment facilities or one located in MI? Thanks!

Residential weight loss center/eating disorder treatment? I want to find a weight loss center that you can live at full time for a week, few weeks or month. I'm looking for aspects of: Nutritionist evaluation/developing a custom food plan. No fad/unusual diets. Education about nutrition Psychological counceling/group therapy/support group to deal with the emotional side of eating. Exercise components that can be tailored to an individual's fitness level and/or physical limitations. Meals are provided while there. Chance to learn about meal preparation/studying nutrition labels to fit your diet Reasonably priced - which would probably mean it isn't taking place at a "spa" or "resort". An eating disorder treatment place might be able to meet most of these criteria, but I think a lot of them just take place as an add-on to a drug/alcohol rehab center. So far the only places I've found that meet the criteria are Structure House and the Duke Diet and Fitness Center, both in Durham, North Carolina. Anyone have any thoughts?

Eating disorder treatment and weight gain? I have started treatment for bulimia and have been eating about 5 times a day, about 2000 calories, which is far less than what I would have consumed during a binge. Last year I was pretty underweight at 5'6 and 109 lbs. Over the past year I have regained the weight. However, since I have started to eat normally again (no bingeing), I have actually gained 7 lbs and am over my ideal weight which is usually about 125. It scares me because I couldn't even tell I gained those 7 lbs until I weighed myself and it freaked me out. Do you think it's water retention or is my body just adjusting to the new way I am eating again. Do you think my weight will stabilize back to normal again (around 125) eventually? If anyone has experienced this or knows about it please let me know. I'm really depressed and anxious with all this weight gain. I do exercise about an hour and 15 mins everyday. I actually cut back because I'm more of an exercise bulimic.

Eating disorder treatment? I'm getting assessed by a doctor on Tuesday but I'm just curious and trying to figure out if I can stay in college while getting treated. -I'm 19, 5' 7" or so, about 100 pounds, been thin my whole life but have been losing weight recently -periods have pretty much stopped, I get dizzy a lot and sometimes have trouble remembering things and concentrating (I also have slight depression) -don't binge, purge, or purposely restrict -eat very little in quantity -have very little variety -don't think I'm fat and have those body issues I think it might just be restrictive eating and selective eating disorder that develop when I was very young and has stayed with me. I know that I don't have anorexia, bulimia, or a typical eating disorder. Do you think they'll recommend residential treatment or partial hospitilization? Will it help since I don't have one of those typical eating disorders? My social worker said I need more help than he can provide me. I can't just make myself eat, but I can't explain why.
