Question : Considering residential treatment for anorexia, opinions?
Because my anorexia seems unresponsive to outpatient treatment (I DO want to get better). I’m considering a residential program (not an inpatient, they are very different). I’ve been looking at several places, but I’m wondering if anyone has had an experiences with certain places. I’m looking for places in the US, anywhere is fine. I’ve considered Remuda Ranch – I don’t want to go there, I feel they are far too religious based. Religion to an extent is okay, don’t get me wrong.
So, with that said, anyone have suggestions (positive experience AND negative ones appreciated).
My love, it’s anorexia nervosa not anxiety.

I have bipolar and a variety of other issues. I have managed to stay out of psychiatric hospitals.

You dont need inpatient treatment for Anxiety! What you need is to get a out patient program that teaches you how to deal with anxiety so that you can deal with life better they have fantastic books out to help you deal with your anxiety or there is the posibility that you could do a course study on your issues! I have anxiety too and bipolar! It would NOT help if you go into hospitals because their are very very bad people in there who are criminally insane and they dont seem to care in the mental health hospitals these days they will throw people in hospitals who are “not afaird to harm you there”
