Leading Eating Disorder Treatment Center Opens 2nd New York Location, In HV

One of the nation's leading eating disorder treatment centers is opening up its second Hudson Valley location.

On Monday, Monte Nido & Affiliates, one of the largest and leading national providers of eating disorder treatment for over 25 years, announced the opening of Clementine Hudson Valley in South Salem, New York.

Clementine Hudson Valley will provide treatment for teenagers of all genders between the ages of 12 and 18 who are suffering from anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and/or exercise dependence, officials say.

Founded in 1996, Monte Nido & Affiliates operates 48 programs in 13 states, with residential programs being Joint Commission accredited. Monte Nido & Affiliates is one of the country's largest and leading eating disorder treatment providers, offering inpatient, residential, and day treatment programs for eating disorders.

Clementine's dedication to providing trusted medical, psychiatric, clinical, and nutritional oversight and care to people of all genders, races, and ethnic groups has led to the expansion of programs across the country, officials say.

"Expanding national access to care, as well as strengthening the standard quality of care provided, are two of the longest-standing and most important goals of our organization. It is an honor to see these priorities manifest in a way that enables us to offer better care for even more people in need of treatment and in pursuit of full recovery," MS, Chief Executive Officer of Monte Nido & Affiliates Candy Henderson said.

Clementine Hudson Valley will offer intimate 24-hour nursing to help adolescents regain their physiological and nutritional balance, officials say.

"Mindful eating practices, as well as academic and family support, are also part of the program. We have designed our model to meet the specific developmental needs of adolescents," Melissa Spann, Ph.D., LMHC, CEDS-S, Chief Clinical Officer of Monte Nido & Affiliates said. "We provide a personalized treatment which incorporates evidenced-based modalities, backed by research outcomes that demonstrate the efficacy of our care."

Clementine Hudson Valley is Clementine's second New York location. Monte Nido & Affiliates also operates Clementine Briarcliff Manor, which serves adolescent girls.
