Not direct experience but a very good friend of my eldest DD was admitted to The Priory due to anorexia. She had been under the care of mental health teams but needed more intense support so was admitted. From what my daughter has told me the results have been absolutely life changing for her friend. She was an in patient for over 6 months, but during that time increased her body weight and realigned her relationship with food (as well as helping her with her body image issues, which she did have). It wasn't easy, especially in the early days but she now has a BMI in the 'normal' range and eats a healthy varied diet.
