Trusted Outcomes

People inquiring about eating disorder treatment at Monte Nido for themselves or their loved ones often ask “Does your program work? Do you have any statistics on the benefits of treatment at Monte Nido?”

At Monte Nido, we believe it is of utmost importance to demonstrate the effectiveness of our programs through data collection and research. Beyond asking clients to report on how helpful and satisfied they were with their treatment experience, we  believe it is important to demonstrate treatment outcomes. Effective treatments must address symptoms of the eating disorder, which have an extensive impact on the lives of our patients and their loved ones.

In 2018 Monte Nido & Affiliates began a comprehensive research study, approved by an Institutional Review Board, in order to assess treatment outcomes in our Residential, Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) levels of care. Results indicate that patients experienced clinically and statistically significant reductions in eating disorder symptoms over the course of treatment in the Residential, PHP and IOP levels of care on nearly all scales. Additionally, results show clinically and statistically significant depression symptom reduction across levels of care.  Also, we obtain follow-up data for patients who consent at specified time-points after their discharge. This data provides a snapshot of each client’s distinctive symptom presentation on measures of eating disorder symptoms, depression, anxiety, and more; and it deepens our understanding of the clinical challenges specific to each client and serves as a roadmap for exploration of the factors that may be maintaining the eating disorder.

This research represents our commitment to guiding clinical teams in developing a shared language for each client’s experience, building engagement, and designing more effective and personalized treatment plans.
