I have medicare and medi-cal. I would like to go to an inpatient program. Is there such a thing?
I went to treatment for an eating disorder before. It really helped to be around others that had the same problems. I have a dual diagnosis so it may be hard to find something for me. If anyone knows of any treatment places I can go to please let me know.
Yes there are many inpatient programs for people with eating disorders. At the URL below are two private ones in Sherman Oaks and Santa Barbara.They are undoubtedly very expensive. I guess the question is will Medicare or Medi-cal pay for them (?).

I really don't know what Medi-cal's stance is on that. There are some online resources that may be helpful -
There's an anorexia website with a forum:

and the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa may have some resources you can use:

as well as ANRED

Good luck!
