Where can I get sliding scale or public aid treatment of eating disorders?

Asked by Ma-goo (158points) November 22nd, 2006
My 32 year old daughter is anorexic/bulimic with no health insurance. She is on Public Aid & when things get bad, she goes to the ER, but then is discharged as soon as she is medically stable. Our funds are exhausted, she's 84 lbs.,we're desparate.

where do you live?? in san francisco there's a network of free and sliding-scale clinics (incuding the women's community clinic), probably the same in nyc or other big cities.
