What treatment center?

Question by jadehope: What treatment center?
hi I’m a 19 year old female who has been secretly suffering from anorexia and bulimia for about 4 years. I have decided it’s time to tell my parents and receive treatment but I don’t know which treatment center is right for me. I know a lot of treatment centers also deal with other mental illnesses like bipolar disorder among others and also addiction to drugs and alcohol. however I do not abuse or even use drugs or alcohol and the only mental illness I have is anorexia and bulimia. I want to make sure im picking the right treatment center for me. does anyone have any suggestions? by the way I live in new York so anything in that area would be more convient, but I’m not opposed to going out of state. and I’m also looking for an inpatient program.

Answer by Denisedds
You might get better answers and some personal experiences if you put this question in the mental health section rather than cancer.
To answer this question largely depends on where you live and what insurance you have. The hospitals I work for that have physic units handle a variety of problems and do not mix eating disorder patients with alcohol and drug abuse patient’s as the needs are different.
I am so glad you recognize your problem and want help fixing it. A lot of people don’t. You can do anything you set your mind to do. Best wishes.

drug addiction question problem or solution first?

Question by me: drug addiction question problem or solution first?
I have a friend that has a problem with prescription drugs he has gotten much better, his friend called me today and said skip the problem I want a solution agree or disagree that is what his friend said he has all kinds of problems bipolor schez, is on zanax and other meds
he wants to call doc but when he was overtaking somas and hydrocodene and doing illegal drugs wasnt interested in helping then why now and wants him commited for 6 months

Best answer:

Answer by Mike
Unfortunately, too many doctors over rate drug therapy. The drugs they give people for manic depression, as bipolar was once known, effect all the neurons in the brain and many of those that control muscle reaction. Insurance companies prefer drug treatment because it is cheaper than long term psychological therapy, so the insurance companies offer doctors incentives (kickbacks) to prescribe their brand of drug for so called disorders.
Psychiatrist use a simple term to tell patients they need drugs. They claim the patient has a chemical imbalance in there brain and the drugs will correct it. This is a lie, they do not even take samples of the brain fluids before making these diagnoses but the licensed pushers do not want the public to know this. Artificial chemicals are not the same as any the brain makes.
The drugs they push do cause chemical disorder in the brain where the block neuron transmitters and receptors from communicating. It takes a long time to get off prescription drugs although the doctors usually claim they are not habit forming. Habit forming and addictive to them must be two different concepts.
Your friend has been labeled by the mental help community as having severe mental issues and only a miracle can get him off the drugs and away from the pushers. Good Luck
