About Monte Nido Philadelphia – Villanova
Monte Nido Philadelphia is located in Villanova, Pennsylvania. Their mission is to fight and eradicate eating disorders while helping those with co-occurring conditions like substance use disorder or SUD. They use compassionate and evidence based treatments to help put you on a path to healing and recovery.
SUD comes into play here because sometimes people will develop co-occurring addictions when they have an eating disorder as a way to keep their weight down. They might also turn to substances to help deal with the trauma or stress they’re going through due to the disorder.
They support dual diagnosis patients who are in recovery but they don’t outright treat SUD here. Co-occurring conditions require a comprehensive treatment plan and they look to address all of these needs at the same time.
They offer day support that uses clinical, medical, psychiatric and nutritional guidance to help you through the challenges of an eating disorder and what comes with it. They treat both male and female adults and adolescents.
This program is available for those who graduated from the Monte Nido Residential Living program and people still in outpatient therapy who need continued care. They look to help patients change their relationships with food and adjust disordered attitudes and behaviors.
They also work with you to identify harmful patterns during recovery and teach you about relapse prevention. They encourage families to get involved in your recovery process too.
Former patients have said they felt safe and built connections while there and the program helped them through depressive episodes. They say reatment was phenomenal and the staff was super qualified and effective.
