I encourage you to at least check out a treatment facility and ask them your questions, as has already been suggested here. I have never been to inpatient treatment for my ED but I have been for alcoholism and I can honestly say that for me, it's probably the only reason I'm still alive today. I couldn't stop on my own and I needed a safe place to be to get out of the self-destructive fog I was in and decompress from the world around me. I needed a place where I could focus on myself and getting well.
