Remuda Ranch?
Has anyone ever gone there?
What was it like?
Were people nice?
Any other Treatment ( impatient for eating disorders)
Feel free to share! 
Hey I was there last July (2006) through August. It was probably the best treatment center in my opinion, from being there and hearing from the girls about other centers. It was really nice (and should be…it’s really expensive), it’s a very relaxing environment. I was in the adult center so I don’t know if you would be there or if you’re a teen. Ours was set up like 3 houses (groups) of 16 girls. I had 3 other roommates. During the day we all stayed up at the main lodge, which has a tv and couches and we eat all the meals there. You get a schedule every week, with your daily appointments that include, therapy, group therapy (home group with 8 girls, 2 therapists), dietician, doctor, psychiatrist, equine art therapy, body image, rec, skills classes, nutrition class, and have a lot of freetime to relax and take care of yourself! It’s actually a lot like college (because of the schedule) and summer camp! Some parts were really fun and Yes the people were soooo nice, all the workers are Christian and it is Christian based although they do not force it on anyone. The girls were so awesome, I became very close to some of them and we still keep in touch now. I was overwhelmed when I first got there, it’s really really hard (the hardest thing I’ve ever done!) and really sucks sometimes but it helped me begin eating again and got me on track to recovery and I am soooo much better a year later! Email me if you want! I would love to hear your story. And I would be so happy for you if you got to go there!!!!
Also–don’t let the price discourage you….they help alot financially to make it affordable. And, this may not be an incentive for you but, the food is very good there. I was anorexic and it was hard to eat but the variety made it easier. The first couple of days you don’t get to pick your meals but then you do, and you always pick your snacks. Every meal/snack is monitored but there is a "priviledge" table at dinner where you can eat if you earn it and you’re not monitored. The therapists are also really really good! I dont’ know if you’re seeing one now but it really helps to have it consistenly for 6 weeks because it’s more intense. And you also have a family week, which is a lot of family therapy and then you can go out on pass with your family on the week end.
Ok I hope this is enough info. My email is sharon.cameron@yahoo.com.:)

Hi – unfortunately, my daughter was not so lucky with her experience at Remuda.
It wasn’t a “fit” and she didn’t respond well at all to the treatment. Her situation was completely locked down, few privaledges, she wasn’t very religious and didn’t respond to the very heavy Christ-based emphasis.
She “faked” being better to be able to step outdoors once in a while.
The piece of the treatment that was outstanding was the family week which did a very good job o faciliting open communication.
And financially, they were not as straightforward with us – and I still have a dispute with them
I don’t want to discourage you to go there – if you are religious and can respond to a faith-based approach and you want to get better, this could be an outstanding place for you.
Please. Do seek treatment and this may be the best one out there
