Free Inpatient or Residential Treatment Centers for Eating Disorders?
Question by MorbidHunger: Free Inpatient or Residential Treatment centers for Eating disorders?
I have No income and no health insurance, I’ve been denied 2 times for Medicaid and am currently appealing again for the 2nd time however it still wont pay for treatment at all. I’ve had a severe long term eating disorder (EDNOS) for over 12 years, I am now 21 yrs old. I have tried every treatment option available to me (outpatient, psychiatry, therapy, 4 acute Psychiatric hospitals, 2 medical hospitals) I attempted Partial Hospital program when I still had insurance in early 2007 but they still needed the 20% that wasnt covered up front ($ 5000). I am now looking for long or short term residential treatment center, preferrably in Californa that will treat me for free. I have no more options left I cant find any places willing to help me pay and im desperate. I am also diagnosed with severe recurrent Major depressive disorder with psychotic features, borderline personality disorder, anxiety disorder, substance abuse disorder, and PTSD so a Dual diagnosis program would be helpful…
so thats pretty much everything if anyone can help me out that would be great. scholarships, sliding fee scales, foundations (that still exist), etc. please.
I’ll give you $ 5, seriously. im really at my rock bottom at this point.

Call the local university and ask if they know of anything. There may be programs where they need to do research. Otherwise, you should get a job where you can get health insurance, or worst comes to worst, move to a country where health insurance is included. It will be hard to qualify for, but you’ll never have this worry again, and a lot of those countries are really nice places to live.
