Monte Nido Glen Cove provides residential eating disorder treatment for adults of all genders in a home-like setting. Located on the north shore of Long Island, New York, we offer individualized, outcome-backed treatment with a multi-disciplinary team for all eating disorder diagnoses including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID, OSFED, as well as co-occurring disorders.
I think it is funny that a facility that is supposed to help people with their eating disorders activity promotes and encouraged the smoking of cigarettes. They hand them out two at a time along with the clients lighter. Individuals in poor health are allowed to smoke. The nicotine alone in cigarettes is an appetite suppressant. Make it make sense. Then the client leaves addicted to cigarettes and it's left to the client and the family to break that addiction when it was learned behavior that smoking is the only way not to purge. This place is a joke and dangerous.

My son attended Monte Nido and it saved his life. They work on the “whole person” and he met with his dietitian, nutritionist and therapist everyday. He now eats a wide variety of healthy foods and has gained weight. He was ready for treatment, so that increased his likelihood for success, and they assured his transition program to home was set up for him to be successful.

My time at River Towns let me meet new people and learn ways to manage my eating disorder. I could have used more outings and group activities, but overall I recommend the program.

The best parts were individual snacks and meals with therapist and RD where’s I was really able to challenge behaviors and certain foods. The staff is amazing and really pushes you while also meeting you where you’re at.

Firstly, I have to commend the Recovery Coaches here. They care and it shows. They were receptive to the clients needs, went above and beyond in times of crisis, were always present to talk and offer support, and did their best to maintain a safe environment that was conducive to recovery. They are professionals in every sense of the word, and I applaud them.
The same cannot be said of the upper level staff at Monte Nido Glen Cove. Far from professional, the words I find most fitting would be condescending, dismissive, and arrogant. Serious issues that impacted the safety of the environment and other clients would be routinely dismissed, and when frustrations were voiced in regards to this sort of inaction, clients would be dismissed as "being emotional", which is unacceptable for any professional working in this field.
A word of warning to anybody considering treatment at Monte Nido Glen Cove, be absolutely sure that your insurance will not retroactively charge you for time spent at the facility, in the event of leaving ACA. The staff will not work with you in regards to discharging to attend outside responsibilities (School, work, etc), will not help to setup outpatient care, and *will* threaten you with exorbitant costs and fees if you consider leaving ACA. It is truly awful to feel like you are being held hostage financially while responsibilities pile up in the outside world.
If you have really great insurance, a lot of time and responsibilities you can put aside, and the patience of a saint, I would recommend this facility. If you are an adult and expect an adult facility, look elsewhere.
