About Monte Nido Portland Day Treatment
Monte Nido Portland Day Treatment in Portland, Oregon’s John’s Landing neighborhood provides specialized eating disorders treatment for adults and adolescents. While clients here have to have a primary diagnosis of an eating disorder, treatment also addresses co-occurring mental health conditions including substance use disorders. With views of the Willamette River and a strong recovery community, many clients find it a supportive place to heal.
A Treatment Program Designed for You
Neither eating disorders nor SUDS look the same for everyone, and treatment shouldn’t either. Monte Nido Portland Day Treatment offers a structured yet flexible program designed to support adults and adolescents of all genders through personalized care.
With a team that includes therapists, dietitians, and medical providers, treatment here is built around your specific needs. They provide age appropriate support, so individuals ages 12 to 17 are placed in the adolescent treatment program. The adult program is for individuals 18 and older.
Treating Eating Disorders and SUDs Together
You might wonder why a treatment center that specializes in eating disorders would also help people who are experiencing SUDs. It’s incredibly common for people with eating disorders to also struggle with other mental health conditions, including substance use disorders.
If that’s part of your experience, you’re not alone. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration, nearly everyone with a lifetime diagnosis of an eating disorder has at least one co-occurring mental health condition, most often a mood disorder, anxiety disorder, or substance use disorder. Treating everything together gives you the best chance at lasting recovery.
A Multimodal Approach to Recovery
Everyone gets a personalized treatment plan, and it seems like there’s a good balance between structure and independence. Depending on your care level, you’ll participate in treatment five to seven days a week.
There’s a mix of individual therapy, group sessions, and skills-based learning. Sober living aftercare options, including 12-step meetings, are there to help keep you on track after finishing your program. Many clients have shared how much the support and structure helped them avoid falling back into old behaviors.
Monte Nido Portland Day Treatment provides compassionate and supportive care that meets you where you are, plus they make paying for treatment easy. They work with many major insurance providers, and even offer financial assistance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
Life skills training is customized to fit your circumstances and needs. It allows you to rebuild the skills you've lost to addiction and regain control of daily life. It provides the necessary social, psychological, and physical skills you need for recovery.
When you've been using substances long term, this depletes your body of valuable nutrients. During nutrition therapy, you'll take steps to restore your health and learn how to maintain better nutrition. This is an important component of many drug rehab programs in Oregon.
It can be difficult to interpret or articulate how you're feeling during recovery. Through creative arts therapy, you can explore those emotions and share what you're feeling in ways beyond words. Methods include dance, drama, music, drawing, and writing.
During experiential therapy in Oregon, the therapist focuses on your perceptions of what you're experiencing while engaging in activities such as art, music, wilderness adventures, or animal care. The therapist will help you explore your emotions and their meaning to help you work through past experiences and cope with trauma, hurt, and anger.
The FDA has approved two quit smoking medications. Varenicline works by reducing the "buzz" you get from nicotine, so smoking is less enjoyable. Bupropion decreases nicotine withdrawal and cravings. Over the counter nicotine replacement therapy options in Oregon include nicotine patches, lozenges, and gum.
