( no eating disorder though). anyways i just told my mom that im ready to get help so im seeing a counsler tomorrow but im really interested in having some short term inpatient treatment i guess almost like rehad at a treatment center. do places that help people with drug addictions also treat those with self harm addictions? so if you have any names of facilities with a program like this that could help me itd be greatly appreciated. i live in illinois btw so the closer the better. thank you so much!
