Monte Nido’s treatment approach focuses on the restoration of physiological and nutritional balance, the implementation of healthy eating and exercise routines, the elimination of destructive behaviors and the 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 with the following:

• Eliminate restrictive behaviors and work toward the reduction and elimination of other eating disorder and exercise disorder behaviors
• Heal their relationship with food while addressing weight, nutrition, exercise and disordered thoughts and behaviors
• Achieve nutritional, metabolic and medical balance
• Develop insight into disordered thinking, attitudes and behaviors; the underlying causes of their eating or exercise disorder; and their destructive patterns in self care and relationships
• Understand the connections between food- and body-related behaviors and emotions
• Practice appropriate expression of feelings
• Work toward achieving and maintaining a healthy body weight while learning how to stop using numbers to measure self-worth
• Improve body image and work on acceptance of natural body size and shape
• Learn and utilize lifelong recovery skills, such as journaling and self-monitoring
• Work with families and significant others to identify and modify patterns that may be complicating recovery
• Develop an effective aftercare plan that includes strategies for relapse prevention and arrangements that ensure a smooth transition to aftercare providers
