Hi FCA,
I've been bulimic for 28 years, so I know how hard it is for your daughter. I do drink alcohol, but have managed to keep it under control, so I don't consider it to be a problem for me. That's not denial, honestly.
I don't know where your daughter lives, but in Wisconsin there is a top notch eating disorder and substance abuse program at Rogers Memorial Hospital. I have not been treated there, but I know someone who was and it really helped her anorexia. I've also heard great things about their substance abuse program.
I can't go there due to my health insurance not covering their facility, but if my insurance did I would go there if I needed inpatient or residential treatment.
Here's a link.

I wish her the best. She sounds like she really does want to help herself recover.
