Where Can a Person That Is Blind and Suffers With Addiction Find Inpatient Treatment?

Question by lizzy9volt: Where can a person that is blind and suffers with addiction find inpatient treatment?
My father is dying of his diabetes and has a serious food addiction. To make things even harder, he is blind and I believe adds an extra obstacle for him to learn to cope with this challenge that is killing him. Anyone who knows where I can find an in-patient treatment facility that would be capable of handling binge-eating disorders or food addictions of a blind man, I’d be very interested in hearing about. PLEASE this is a very sensitive topic, only serious responses and suggestions please. Thanks

ANY food disorder unit can treat him. blindness has no bearing on his ability to get treatment.

remember: you can lead a horse to water you can NOT make it drink. it does NOT sound like he wants help. sounds like a death wish…
