BPD Inpatient treatment in Virginia, MD or DC?

[cheeseburgers]

July 21
My 21-year-old adult child has been diagnosed w BPD and also has a severe eating disorder and appears to be wasting away. She may be open to inpatient therapy. Can someone please share insights about the best facilities in Virginia, Maryland, or DC or surrounding areas? PLEASE help us!

Our objective is to better understand the struggles our child faces and to learn the skills to improve our relationship and provide a supportive environment and also improve on our own emotional responses, attitudes and effectiveness as a family leaders

Hi cheeseburgers

Welcome to bpdfamily 

I'm sorry what you are dealing with your daughter, many of us are in similar situations, you are not alone. I'm in the UK, others may have personal insights for facilities in Virginia, Maryland, or DC area, also it's worth making contact with NAMI and/or NEA-BPD, I hope you find suitable treatment soon. My DD's attended outpatients DBT skills group and therapy the last 14 months and is making very good progress, things can get better it's small, gentle steps and patience. It must be very worrying the severe eating disorder are they recommending inpatient treatment, you say your DD may be open to that, is good. Is you daughter living at home?
