Monte Nido Portland Day Treatment is an eating disorder day treatment program for adolescents and adults of all genders. Located in the John's Landing area, we offer partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs for all eating disorder diagnoses including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID, OSFED, as well as co-occurring disorders.
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.

Honestly be very wary of this place. Knowing that spots are limited in treatment centers at this point and complications with insurance, i know sometimes there isn’t much of a choice. But this place abuses their power, oversteps ethical boundaries, and endangers their clients in innumerable ways. If you seek treatment here, please stay connected with your outpatient team because these folks can cause a lot of harm.

I kid you not and I say this without exaggeration, EDCP saved my life many times. Years ago they took me in when there was no other program I could or would go to in the area. I was a high school student and a mere 16 years old when the program made an exception and took me in because I needed a place to go that was near to my school and family. That was nearly six years ago. They have since started taking adolescents and this isnt an issue. I needed to go through this program five times before it stuck. It wasn't the program, it was me being forced to go to treatment versus choosing to go myself. It was the difference between not losing enough to my disorder and rock bottom. And each and every time the clinical director and entire team was there to accept me with open arms--literally and figuratively. It is here that I smashed scales, burned trauma, and healed my broken faith in relationships. Here I learned that human connection is life sustaining to me and that my "soul" or true self is an extrovert and loves to laugh. It is here that I learned to stand on my own two feet. This was the place that spoke up for me and advocated for me and my best interest. This place never lost faith in me--from leaving and relapsing to being "administratively discharged" for noncompliance--every time they took me back when I was ready and we picked up right where we left off. Every time I was given hugs and a safe place--something I severely lacked in my life. I am now a full time nursing student and I work two jobs--one of which is nannying. I can run around with the little girl I nanny and take her out to ice cream because of this place. I can go to school because of this place and their continued support. I still attend anywhere from one to four groups a week to strengthen and support my recovery as well as to spread the hope of possibility to current clients. I would not be here if not for this place. Treatment isn't fun, but this place brought so much good to my life. I still maintain friendships with people I was clients with and still email old therapists on occasion. Without EDCP, I wouldn't know what I want to do with my life, I wouldn't be able to nanny or belly laugh, I couldn't enjoy that cup of tea or that ice cream with the kiddo, I wouldn't be able to dance anymore or rock climb for fun on a warm summer day. Without that place, I would still be stuck in a cycle of mistrust and insecure attachment. I would be stuck in the trauma cycle and I would still lack severe amounts of boundaries. But, because of this place, I laugh more often, I see more movies, I dance when I want. I have fun with kids, I can do my homework, I can say no, and I can cuddle my dogs (among other things) while being present and assertive. Don't get me wrong, it has only been a year and I am still a work in progress and have had my fair share of trips and falls and a need for support since, but that is recovery. I wouldn't be here without EDCP. I can't recommend this place more. You will find hope and love and tenderness and empowerment here. You will find you are not alone. And you will find out that people care and that recovery IS possible. Full recovery. Yes, FULL. It is possible. And this place is evidence of that.
