Actually, the person does not have to bee too sick. It depends on the individual and what the doctors think is best. Usually, those actually admitted to in-patient treatment centers are those who have lost significant weight, who have serious anorexia, and those who are in dangerous health. If a doctor fells like a person will get progressively worse if not in treatment, they will also probably be placed in a hospital. Most cases are treated out-pateint, though, with trips to hospitals and visits with doctors.
