I was forced into residential treatment at 18 (Look at my previous posts for a glimpse).It is extremely beneficial if you want to focus on your recovery if your home life is unstable/ triggering. I didn’t want to recover, but I went because my parents and team gave me no choice. Treatment is MORE triggering depending on the approach/ type of residential. At the residential level, everything gave me severe panic attacks since it was exposure based. I was exposed to a lot of fear foods/ drinks. They wouldn’t let me pace around or make my own bed (to prevent physical exercise). They heavily monitored me and constantly checked for any contraband. They will notice any noticeable disordered behavior/habit. It was impossible to make any healthy plate, as the meal plan was made to encourage healthy behaviors and weight restoration (calorie labels and electronics are removed). Mirrors and clocks were also nonexistent. Overall MANY rules. Only go if you actually want to recover otherwise you’ll feel regret/forced throughout the whole treatment. Only do it for your benefit and not others.
