How can I get myself into an inpatient treatment center for eating disorders without insurance?

I have an eating disorder (binge eating disorder) and need to go into an inpatient rehab treatment center. Problem is I don't have any insurance or money. Does anyone know of any programs that offer financial aid or any treatment facilities that take people on with out insurance and if so under what circumstances do they? Basically, I have no money and need help! I am aware of the benefits of therapy, counseling, and 12steps groups and am involved in all three. But I need inpatient care at this point.

Ultimately, the best thing you can do is call up each center and discuss your options. While it's less likely they'll waive the costs of care, getting a loan may be on the table- you can also pursue state-funded forms of insurance and see if you qualify for any.
