I have a wife with bulimia and it was getting to the point where I couldn't take it any more. She needed bulimia treatment badly, but I didn't know where to turn. Through the internet I came across your site and sent my wife for bulimia treatment at your center.
Whoever she first spoke with made her feel so comfortable, she even became excited about the possibility of not having to binge and purge any more. The change in her is amazing. I know she will always be recovering, but I am proud to say she is the most courageous person I know. Thank you for all of your help.

I needed to find an eating disorder clinic so badly. I used to eat compulsively and had swung over completely to purging and laxatives. I felt so bad about myself, the shame and guilt was just killing me. I had been to an eating disorder clinic before, but they really did not address my mood swings, that I have since understood them to be a bipolar disorder.
Your staff kept telling me that my eating behavior was a symptom of other problems. Well even though I didn't believe them they turned out to be right. I don't use laxatives, I have even learned to exercise moderately. Thank you so much. By the way, it has been ten months since I last purged.

Well Shelly, I told you I would write when I had one year in recovery and here I am. Who would have guessed. I have so much gratitude for you taking your time and referring me to a great facility. I knew from the moment I walked in there that I was in the right place. The next time I come by it will be to visit, not as a patient. You are absolutely the greatest.

Getting Drug Addiction Help
If you think you have a substance abuse problem or drug addiction, understanding you have a problem and admitting you need addiction help is the first step to recovery. Denial is a very difficult aspect of addiction to overcome. Along with denial comes defiance and ego, where an individual believes they can control their drug or alcohol problem rather than asking for drug addiction help. Unfortunately, addiction is a progressive disease that requires treatment. Trying to manage things without addiction help generally is not successful.
Finding a solution to drug addiction is a difficult task. Battling this chronic illness alone is almost impossible. Asking for drug addiction help, usually within a residential treatment program usually turns out to be the best decision for a positive outcome. A full recovery is never guaranteed. There are however a number of things you should do to take full advantage of your stay in the program. These include:
Tell your friends about your decision to enter treatment
Ask your friends or family for support
Participate in all of the clinical activities
Be honest and open with your therapist
Stay in treatment for as long as your therapist recommends
Encourage your family to come for family week
Follow your aftercare plan to the letter
