About Monte Nido – Laurel Hill – Medford
Monte Nido – Laurel Hill is a serene and homey residential care center that focuses on treating women with eating disorders. You can find them in Medford, Massachusetts, just north of Boston. Although their main focus is on healing disordered eating patterns, they also provide support for co-occurring conditions, including substance use disorder, OCD, PTSD, anxiety and more.
There’s a large overlap between those facing eating disorders and those experiencing substance addiction. Knowing this, Monte Nido assesses you for substance use disorder upon intake. If they know you’ll benefit from treatment then they’ll tailor your treatment plan to include addiction-focused care.
Something great about Laurel Hill is that they provide weight- and size-inclusive care. They understand that disordered eating doesn’t necessarily look the same for different people and they go out of their way to support people of all sizes.
Part of their treatment process includes cognitive processing therapy, an approach that helps you work through unhelpful thought patterns you’ve developed due to trauma. You’ll work with a therapist to understand how these patterns emerged and look at the ways they shape your behavior and emotions. Over time, you learn to manage your responses and thoughts in a healthy way. For those facing substance use disorder, this means relapse prevention and maintained sobriety.
Their program also includes nutritional care, meal support and kitchen access, and weekly health assessments to track your progress and adjust your program as needed. They offer yoga and other movement practices so you can enjoy moving your body in a safe and encouraging environment.
