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.

This place made a big difference for my child, and that is all that really matters to me. I will say, they could have HUGE improvements in parent involvement, parent education, and family therapy. At times, they seemed almost anti- parent, which seems to me to be a strange approach to recovery. My ex and I were left on completely different pages as to next steps for our child. They should take a note from Clementine which has great support for parents. But, my child is doing well, and I'm thankful.

Wanted to thank the staff and everyone who was in here at the same time as me.I didn't come here entirely on my own free will, but because I was kind of cornered into it by my therapist. And I wasn't happy about putting my life on hold to be here. But now I see why she really wanted me to go.I had no previous experience with programs like this and didn't know what to expect. And you can bet I doubted everything every step of the way. I still do in some areas.But the longer I was there, the more I saw a difference and realized why things are done the way they are.I got a lot out of the program in the relatively short time I was there and have seen a big difference in my eating and thinking. And also in my physical health and brain. My memory has really noticeably improved and so has how I feel physically. And I've felt so much calmer and happier compared to before I went in. Turns out eating consistently helps you not feel like you're in fight or flight all the time, who would have thought haha.

Not for people on the spectrum and one of my worst treatment experiences.I went here before covid and wasn't going to post this until I saw that that the staff that treated me harshly are still there.I ended up leaving worse then I came in.I had what I later found out were autistic meltdowns, and while it did make a scene I was told that I needed to stop having tantrums. They originally treated these as panic attacks but determined that since I could walk while having them that they were no longer panic attacks and just tantrums. I was literally pulled into an office with a bunch of staff members, including my therapist, family therapist, the head recovery coach, and the person in charge of the facility, and told that I needed to stop having tantrums. They claimed I was faking everything. This lead to self harm which they were incredibly harsh about since it was deemed to be more attention-seeking. It wasn t until I left treatment here that I even figured out why I had these. I was treated so badly for my autism. I would sometimes need to use the bathroom while having a meltdown and would stumble to the bathroom, but I would go near to fully nonverbal and couldn t communicate this. So they would follow me and then watch me by standing on the toilet of the next stall.I also was there with another client who was extremely rude, constantly and purposefully triggering us and bringing us down, and when the other clients and I talked to the staff about it they told us they couldn t do anything because bringing it up would affect her recovery. So the rest of us had to deal with the constant harsh remarks. We were even told off for talking back to her and standing up for ourselves.There was also obvious special treatment here. When I was there THE SAME GIRL got a special discharge ceremony. We were also told the rest of us couldn t have this.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government.

Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Aftercare Support

Rehab aftercare programs are generally predicated on the understanding that addiction disease is chronic and relapsing and the recovery is a life-long process requiring ongoing care. Clients in drug rehab aftercare have typically completed inpatient detox and/or rehab but may still be receiving outpatient treatment. Their unique care plan is usually developed in collaboration with their care team and case manager and may include peer coaching, career counseling, 12 step program facilitation, and related services.

12-Step

When participating in 12 step programs, clients receive intensive and ongoing peer support as they work through the recovery journey. They're expected to regularly attend 12 step meetings and to select a peer sponsor for one-on-one mentoring. Meetings are free, anonymous, and accessible multiple times a day, 365 days per year, in most communities. Religious affiliation is not required, though these programs are rooted in the belief in a higher power as a foundation of personal growth and long-term sobriety.

Partial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a more intensive form of outpatient and can be a step-down service in substance use disorder treatment. During PHP treatment, which lasts 4-8 hours per day and up to 5 days a week, you'll participate in daily therapeutic services (relapse prevention, medication management, and behavioral therapy) for an average of 90 days. The cost of PHP treatment varies, but it is typically covered by insurance providers.

24-Hour Clinical Care

24-hour clinical care in Oregon offers a safe place for those experiencing withdrawal to recover in a medical detox program. Around-the-clock care lessens the risk of serious withdrawal symptoms and provides a more comfortable detox process. With medical staff on-site, more serious symptoms are less likely to develop and pose health threats. Medications and nutritional treatment can be provided, as well as mental health treatment to address any co-occurring disorders.

Treatments

Co-occurring presentations such as substance abuse and trauma reactions like PTSD, share common causal and maintaining factors with eating disorders that influence treatment and recovery. At Monte Nido, they believe thoroughly assessing and treating co-occurring issues will substantially improve the chances of becoming fully and sustainably recovered. This programming focuses on stabilizing eating disorder, substance use and PTSD symptomatology; reducing urges, enhancing motivation, developing alternative coping capacities and changing the way clients think about themselves and their world. The treatment includes CBT, DBT, CPT (Cognitive Processing Therapy) and more.

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

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.

Equine Therapy

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.

Though this facility has smiling faces and a good demeanor, there is absolutely no haste or urgency from the staff or any other professionals when it comes to admissions or onboarding. Expect miscommunications, weeks to months of wait time, an overly complex online portal, and numerous hoops to jump through even before having a start date for treatment. The only reason this review isn't 1 star is because the few people who understand the horrific administrative process that happens here, pick up slack where they should need to. Avoid at all costs.

Super weird to see all the positive reviews of this facility. It’s not even accessible for disabled people. If you use a wheel chair, guess what, no yoga/ movement for you, the elevator doesn’t go to that floor. Also this facility has at minimum 4 flights of stairs, doesn’t make sense that montenido bought this mansion in one of the most expensive neighborhoods in Portland and it doesn’t even make sense for people who are physically compromised. Also, when I was there, there was a recovery coach who told a client that she had to apologize to another client otherwise she was going to go home and commit suicide. The same recovery coach would frequently talk about his ex-wife and call her a b****. When I expressed concerns to Jax, the head therapist at the time about my anger issues and verbal abuse towards my romantic partners, her response was to tell me that she yells at her kids all the time and insinuated that she wasn’t a bad person for doing so. I was at this facility in February of 21’ around when they first opened, so I hope it’s changed since then. Another reviewer mentioned that they have favorites, I wanted to echo that, they also prioritize “compliance” over accommodation. Speaking of favorites, they sent me home after only 4 weeks of treatment and refused to put me into their step-down program, which is against their own protocol. When I’m asked them why they told me it had to do with insurance, but when I discharged, my case worker called me confused as to why they made me leave because I was approved for 30 more days. I have a feeling that it had to do with the same “favorite” client Ally was talking about. With all this being said, it is unfortunately the best option in Oregon for Medicaid patients. I would definitely recommend the rainrock facility over the west Linn location. They also don’t allow smoking at the west Linn location. I also hope they got better couches because the ones that were there when I was were ungodly uncomfortable.

Thank you for your feedback, Jennifer. We've heard your concerns and invite you to email or call us as soon as possible at stayconnected@montenidoaffiliates.com.
