Yes, my friend went there. Great place if you have no insurance. Uses God as the foundation of treatment. 6 months to a year commitment, though. You should look into it.

How do I look into it?

You can look them up online. Ill message you more when I'm not driving(damn addicting smart phones) my little sister went there for depression, cutting, ect. VERY good place. As the previous poster said it does heavily focus on god and such and is a long commitment. Just so you know ahead of time, the application process is very long and detailed. Don't let that discourage you, there are people to help guide you through it along the way. There are some essays you write too. My sister is in a much better place now and was so moved by it that she is now a mentor for a rehabilitation program in Maine. I also know a girl that is there right now for her eating disorder and she says it has literally saved her life. She graduates in a month. Definately look into some more hun. *Jess*

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
