Thanks for asking, she is detoxed and medically stable and staying temporarily with her Mom as none of us (including my daughter)think it best for her to be alone--her employer has been incredibly supportive and told her to do what she needs to do to rehab (flex schedule, leave, etc). She wants to go residential rehab (alcohol and bulimia) and we are narrowing the options. Fortunately her insurance covers 30 days of inpatient substance abuse and 30 days of inpatient psych. My daughter and I are leaning towards programs associated with teaching hospitals (John Hopkins for example) but still considering the ones in the mountains, shores and woodlands. The Meadows is a strong contender. Right now she is quite labile but doing OK on a day to day basis. She has some medical problems that need to be cleaned up before she leanes and also has an outpt appointment with a pdoc and independently lic nurse (they work together--the MSN specializes in eating disorders). My guess is she will head off some where next week. The struggle now that she is sober is that she really takes pride in her job (it has been a real anchor for her) and she loves her apartment and does not want to lose it. I am selling her 12 year old truck for her and that will pay for the rent while she is in rehab. SHe has not been driving for over a year anyway. You all are great and thanks so uch for asking--I will keep you informed. Fondest wishes fca
