  1. It depends on a lot of factors.

    Where you are going for treatment. (some are 30 day programs, some 6 months, some until you are ready, some 2 weeks, some until the medical emergency is over...)

    What are your goals of treatment. (medical stabilization, physical and mental health, accomplishing eating and meal prep on your own...)

    When your labs stabilize.

    Your age (adolescent typically more than adults...kids do school there)

    Your financial state...

    My bmi was 12.8 and I was in over 3 months.  It should have been longer but because of insurance that was it.  Before that 6 other times ranging from 3 days (medical stabilization) to a 30 day program.

    I highly recommend treatment.  It is a hard decision to make and not one you will ever 100% want to do.  It was forced on me and I am thankful now.  I just suggest closing your eyes and taking the leap and not second guess it.


  2. um......... don't even remember but my BMI was 15 i was 11

  3. you get hospitalized ,

    for the serverity of your anorexia.

    everyone stays until they fully recover.
