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.

Drug Addiction Help - What To Look For
Once you have determined that you or a loved one needs drug addiction help the next step is to find the right help -- treatment that meets the specific needs of the affected individual. When looking for drug addiction assistance, consider the following:
What type of addiction does the person have?
What is the frequency and amount of drug use?
Are there any mental health issues?
Have they been in treatment before?
What drug addiction help can you afford?
These are just a few questions you should consider when choosing a drug addiction help center. But don't delay, seek professional help immediately.
Inpatient Drug Addiction Help
Those with a drug addiction usually respond best to treatment that takes place within an inpatient drug addiction treatment center. The inpatient treatment center you choose should provide the following:
Medical detox & stabilization
Comprehensive program of therapy, education and relapse prevention
Experience with the specific drug being used
It is important that the drug addiction help you receive is performed in an environment that is comfortable and meets your needs. If you are suffering from a psychiatric disorder in conjunction with an addiction and the program does not have a board certified psychiatrist that certainly is not the program for you. If you have issues with sexual orientation and the rehab does not have a staff trained in the needs of the GLBTQ you would be better suited to look for drug addiction help elsewhere. To locate appropriate and effective help for drug addiction you can call our helpline toll free at 1-800-941-5313 Now! .All calls are confidential and help is available 24/7.
