Help for anorexia treatment?
My son is 20 and a brilliant student. He has been diagnosed with anorexia and i want to do all I can to help him come out. Cn someone suggest me the best available facility, center, doctor… Please… i need help…
I heard Renfew is good. I strongly suggest finding a treatment center that:
-Lets you and your son be involved in treatment
-Has good policies regarding visitors/etc.
-Is covered by your insurance for more than 2 weeks
And, last but not least, do NOT go to Hershey Medical Psych Unit. I was there, and I had some bad stuff happen to me there. In fact, they made a lot of things worse. My therapists won’t even recommend it to her patients, as she’s seen many of her former patients damaged there.
Good luck! Recovery is a long process. Try to be there for your son as much as you can.
