Monte Nido Portland Day Treatment

Dual Diagnosis

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

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

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

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.

Group 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.

Individual Therapy

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

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.

Family Therapy

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

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.

Nutrition Therapy

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.

Creative Arts Therapy

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.

Experiential Therapy

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.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy

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.
