Our Approach
Monte Nido’s trusted eating disorder treatment options focus on the restoration of physiological and nutritional balance, implementation of healthy eating and exercise routines, elimination of harmful behaviors, and development of motivation and treatment engagement. Our objective is to help each client achieve a clear understanding of their eating and/or exercise disorder and its effect on their life, as well as an individualized appreciation of what is necessary for their personal recovery. We help our clients:
- Work toward ceasing restrictive behaviors and elimination of other disordered behaviors relating to eating and co-occurring disorders
- Address trauma reaction and substance use co-occurring presentations through interventions such as Cognitive Processing Therapy, Motivations Enhancement Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and interpersonal therapy.
- Heal their relationship with food while developing a clearer understanding of disordered thinking, attitudes, and behaviors
- Identify and address underlying causes of their eating disorder and removing harmful patterns that affect self-care and relationships
- Understand that food- and body-related behaviors are connected to feelings, and develop a healthy expression and practice of emotions
- Accept their natural size and shape while improving self-image
- Identify and modify patterns that may complicate recovery, with participation from family and other loved ones
- Develop an effective aftercare plan that includes strategies for relapse prevention and arrangements that ensure a smooth transition to aftercare providers

Specialized Treatment for Adolescents
Clementine, Chicago
Clementine Chicago is a residential treatment program for adolescent girls. At Clementine, we believe in the healing power of empathy as the base of human connection. When an adolescent feels seen and heard, they often visibly relax and become open for connection and self-discovery. That’s why we provide a homelike setting that allows adolescents to feel emotionally safe as they manage the emotions associated with recovery.
