Monte Nido Introduces New Clementine Residential Program

Monte Nido, a leader in the field of eating disorder treatment, has unveiled its latest initiative - the Monte Nido Clementine North Shore, located on Long Island. This new residential program aims to cater specifically to female-identifying adolescents grappling with various eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder.

Cassie McLean, the Chief Executive Officer of Monte Nido, emphasized the growing prevalence of eating disorders among teenagers, attributing a significant part of this rise to the pressures of social media and unrealistic beauty standards. In her words, "We are committed to providing more access to compassionate care, ensuring that individuals can navigate these challenges with the help they deserve and the tools they need for recovery."

The Monte Nido Clementine North Shore program uniquely combines personalized clinical and nutritional care with an emphasis on comprehensive academic and family support. The treatment offered is sensitive to the developmental needs of adolescents, drawing on state-of-the-art methodologies and data-driven results.

In the program, treatment teams prioritize connection and teamwork with the client’s family, fostering a sense of hope and trust while providing necessary resources for healing. Dr. Molly Perlman, Chief Medical Officer at Monte Nido, highlighted the importance of creating holistic, individualized care plans that attend to each adolescent's specific needs. "Our personalized treatments reflect our desire for individuals to not only replace eating disorders with healthy skills but also gain an understanding of how to live a life that embraces their individuality," Dr. Perlman stated.

Recognizing the significant number of individuals with eating disorders who also experience PTSD, the program will incorporate evidence-based trauma treatments, including cognitive processing therapy (CPT), renowned as a gold standard in trauma care. Dr. Perlman elaborated, "By providing distinctive treatment for both the eating disorder and PTSD, we're equipping clients with tools and coping skills to self-manage symptoms and maintain recovery. We believe that with the right treatment and support, recovery is possible no matter what stage someone is in with their eating disorder."

Monte Nido Clementine North Shore marks the third Monte Nido Clementine program in New York, further complementing its sister facilities at Briarcliff Manor and Hudson Valley, which serve adolescents of all genders. The North Shore program aligns with Monte Nido’s overarching mission to eradicate eating disorders through innovative, research-backed care strategies. Monte Nido operates 50 programs across 28 states, offering a range of treatment options from inpatient to virtual care.
