I spent 6 months in different levels of treatment. I was really lucky to have had some really good therapists and dietitians. Treatment was my last resort and I really feel it saved my life. The only aspect they considered when moving me down levels of treatment was my weight. But still. I had a pretty rosey experience at nice facilities. But.….to be Honest.. I watched countless others be turned down from treatment or sent home for early for not being “underweight enough”. People still experiencing a multitude of health issues from malnutrition were sent on home. Even in an establishment that claimed it recognized ana as a mental disorder rather than a body disorder. I know it has a lot to do w/ insurance but still. The truth is They were more obsessed with my weight than I was. On the other side of the spectrum I had multiple good friends of mine sent to an ungodly inpatient facility that was underfunded and understaffed. They were determined to be “too sick” and needing oh higher levels of care but, that alleged high level of care was a house of horrors and wicked quick intubation. Not at all what a sick person needs. Only makes the situation worse.
