OP, are you already familiar with the above group and discussion forum?

Please visit them if not.   The people there have been through it all and are an amazing source of knowledge, evidence based treatment options, and support.

I am so sorry that your daughter has been suffering for so long.

In many cases of long term anorexia it turns out that the patient was released from the inpatient treatment before truly reaching weight restoration.  Just hitting a standardized percentile on a chart isn't necessarily enough to bring back proper brain function.

In terms of treatment centers on the East Coast, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia is considered the best.  http://www.chop.edu/centers-programs/eating-disorder-program

Agree with all of the above. Also, the University of California San Diego has a great, evidence-based 5 day intensive program for adolescent anorexia sufferers & their parents. It helps give the parents the tools necessary to help their children work towards recovery at home:  eatingdisorders.ucsd.edu/treatment/oneweek-intensive-treatment-programs.html
