New recovery story
Beginning May 2006, ABC’s 20/20 cameras followed Sue, a 48-year-old married mother of three suffering with anorexia, through her treatment at The Renfrew Center of Philadelphia. 20/20 was there with Sue on the morning she entered residential treatment, when she stepped down to Day Treatment in July, and when she completed treatment at Renfrew in August. One year after the day she entered treatment, 20/20 followed up with Sue and her family to see what recovery from an eating disorder is really like.
Visit 20/20 website for more information about the segment that aired on Friday, Jan. 18th. To view the segment, which has been broken up into three parts, click on the following links:

After all of the filming was complete, and almost one year since she completed her treatment at Renfrew, we sat down with Sue to see what it was like to take the brave step of seeking treatment as an older woman, how her life is different now, and what she hopes other women will learn from her experience.
