19 not a parent but looking for help
Hi all, not sure if this is where to go.
I (19ftm) have been diagnosed with an eating disorder, and have recently hit an intense low. I have been going to an outpatient therapist, with no progress. My therapist is recommending a residential treatment center and 24 hour care, which I’m willing to go along with.
I am living with my parents, and we can’t afford for me to go to Residential Treatment Center (RTC). I went to one for suicidal ideation in March 2021, and we’re still paying off those bills.
I understand that I need help, I’m willing to get help, but I don’t know where to turn now.
Is there a way to find sliding scale or in-network programs for young adult ED?
Can insurance help make it more affordable? What do I need to tell them?
If this post isn’t okay since I’m not a parent, please let me know.
