Eating Disorder Treatment

Many girls were competing to be skinny in my high school. I really began to take notice my senior year when there seemed to be an influx in eating disorders. You could see 110 lb girls binge eating in the cafeteria, bringing back two ice creams, plates of pasta, cookies, and fried foods back to their lunch table. While these girls clearly suffered from some form of bulimia other girls would just sit with nothing at all at their plate minus a bowl of plane iceberg lettuce. The school tried to intervene with certain cases became too extreme by bringing in a health nutritionist and an advisor on eating disorder treatments specifically anorexia treatment. The advisor spoke to my class about how girls from high socioeconomic class, attending prestigious private schools, were most at risk for developing eating disorders. The eating disorder specialist drew a bell curve on the whiteboard and pointed to the right side stating, that individuals with eating disorders are deviants and develop deviant behavior such as becoming more isolated, spending less time with friends especially when food is around, irritable, and moody. She explained that chemical imbalances from not receiving the minimum daily food intake resulted in an individual have mood swings, headaches, and fainting spells. Following that year three girls that I am aware of, have received eating disorder treatment from my class.

California Drug Rehb Centers & Drug Detox

It is not unusual when going out to “hot” L.A. night-clubs, to witness people taking and offering drugs. I have witnessed many girls taking bumps of coke in the bathroom. The ubiquity of drugs is unreal and sadly I saw my own best friend get sucked into “Hollyweird” and end up with a drug addiction. As a friend I was not sure what level of action I should take in ensuring that she receive help and get healthy. I began looking at drug rehab centers comparing what services they offered to patients. I found a few California drug rehab centers that appeared to be reputable. Still I was very nervous about bringing it up to my friend. Whenever I mentioned her drug problem in the past she would just get irritated and say that I was or exaggerating or lie to saying she never does it that it was just a onetime thing. I wanted her to get help but I did not want it to ruin our friendship. In the end I came to the realization that her health and safety was more important than her liking me. I contacted her boyfriend of three years and asked him if he would help me. He said that he too was concerned and had already researched about drug detox and other drug rehab centers. So we agreed to get my friend help and as of today she is 2 years sober.
