One of my brothers has been there, my oldest sister has been there, and my other older sister has been there several times and is currently there.
I haven't been there myself, but I've heard that the staff are nice and it's a pretty good place. If you're on suicide watch or they think you are at risk of hurting yourself they will have a staff member be with you the whole time (including the bathroom!).
For eating disorders, I'm pretty sure they'll except you, can't think of why they wouldn't, but I don't know any specifics dealing with that.
Making friends there is pretty easy. My two sisters that have gone there still hang out with people they've met there.
All in all, it's a good place and you'll be in good hands.
I hope everything works out for you.
