Montecatini Residential Treatment Center
Montecatini is a long term residential teatment facility for women with eating disorders and other addictions. We want our residents to start living life, to go to school, to go to work, raise their families, and not be different because they have an eating disorder. An eating disorder is a condition to manage and move past. It does not define a person. We want our residents to overcome their compulsions and learn to focus on other areas of their lives. A resident of Montecatini once said, "I have been to many other treatments, and what makes Montecatini different is that residents here do not compare and compete as to who has been more successful in their disease but they compete and strive for recovery. They see alumni living life and ask how to obtain the recovery."
Montecatini's program is designed to interrupt dysfunctional behavior so that residents can take the appropriate steps toward recovery and healing. It is built from the understanding that treatment is done not only by staff, but by staff, residents, and family members working together.This requires active participation in all scheduled activities. Family members are an integral part of treatment, and their participation in treatment is highly encouraged.
The Montecatini staff involves a multidisciplinary panel of professionals who offer both individual and group therapy. Montecatini also offers the residents a hands on appraoch to dealing with food and exercise.
For more detailed information please do not hesitate to call us at (760)436-8930 or visit our website.

Dr. Kakaiya, the founder and clincal director of the program has been treating eating disorders for 16 years. She is recognized nationally for her contribution to the cultural issues with eating disorders. The staff at Healthy Within believe that a person can completely recover from their eating disorder.

By June we will be adding weekly aupuncture to the program.
Special emphasis is given to correctly identifying the triggers so the the sychological work is deep and long lasting. Average length of stay is 8 weeks, after which we accomodate a step down program which then gives a person the chance to again try less structure while they still have the support of a whole team. We are able to treat young boys and men since we are day treatment. Please go to our website healthywithin.com for more information

Judy Lightstone
Eating and body image problems sometimes express our deepest
expieriences as women. Our issues of staying true to our genuine hunger/s, defining
ourselves in and not in relationship to others, and taking up space in a
sometimes dangerous world may show up in our relationships to food
and body. I have been helping women work through these issues since 1984,
when I received my post-graduate training at
the Women's Therapy Centre Institute (founded by Susie Orbach).
Since 1986 I have trained and provided consultation
for many therapists who wanted to learn this orientation.
My approach to the work is interactive and compassion, using my strength
and an easy sense of humor.

Monte Nido Treatment Center
Eating disorders are progressive and debilitating illnesses requiring medical,
nutritional and psychological intervention. Individuals suffering from eating
disorders often need a structured environment to achieve recovery. However
all too often a person does well in a highly structured regimented environment
only too fall into relapse upon returning to a less structured situation. Our
residential program is designed to meet the individual needs of clients and
their families in a way that gives them a higher level of responsibility and
"teaches" them how to recover. The atmosphere of Monte Nido is professional
and structured, but it is also warm friendly and family like. Our dedicated
staff, many of whom are recovered themselves, serve as role models; and our
environment inspires people to commit to overcoming obstacles that interfere
with the quality of their lives.
The program at Monte Nido is designed to provide behavior and mood
stabilization, creating a climate where destructive behavior can be
interrupted. Clients can then work on the crucial underlying issues which
caused and perpetuate their disordered eating and dysfunctional behaviors. We
provide a structured schedule with education, psychodynamic and cognitive
behavioral therapy, corrective eating patterns, healthy exercise, life skills
training and spiritual enhancement, family therapy, and discharge planning.
Our philosophy includes: restoring biochemical functioning and nutritional
balance, implementing healthy eating and exercise habits, changing destructive
behaviors, and gaining insight and coping skills for underlying emotional,
psychological issues. We believe that eating disorders are illnesses which,
when treated correctly, can result in full recovery where the individual can
resume a normal healthy relationship to food.
Nutrition and exercise are not simply part of our program. We recognize these
as crucial areas of recovery. Therefore we require assessments on nutritional
status, metabolism, and biochemistry, and we teach patients what this
information means in terms of their recovery. Our detailed attention to the
nutrition and exercise component of treatment reveals our dedication to these
areas as part of a plan for a healthy, lasting recovery.
We are innovative and unique. Our director, Carolyn Costin M.A., M.Ed.,
M.F.C.C., (recovered for over 20 years) has 16 years of experience as a
specialist in the field of eating disorders. Her extensive experience and
expertise, including directorship of five previous inpatient eating disorder
programs, combined with her unique hands-on approach, has achieved high
success rates with full recovery. Carolyn Costin and her staff can empathize,
offer hope, and serve as role models while providing skills for recovery.

DIETLESS
Dietless (Discovering the Emotional Connection to Weight Loss)
Dietless is a comprehensive Step by Step program designed to help women achieve permanent changes in how they approach food and eating. It is not a quick weight loss program but rather a psychological "no diet" approach created to help you discover the emotional connections to weight loss.
DIETLESS groups meet once a week. Groups consist of between 5-7 women. All groups are led by licensed psychotherapists (psychologist, MFCC, or LCSW) with special training in the DIETLESS philosophy and methodology. All therapists live what they teach. The weekly sessions are divided into three phases. Everyone commits to one phase at a time. If you decide to go on to the other phases you will stay with the same group of women. Each phase is approximately 20 weeks long and emphasizes a different level of awareness about your attitudes and beliefs toward food and your body.
Throughout the course of the program we focus on:
Another focus of the program is to help you create a lifestyle that will support the changes in your weight and in your life. We created a comprehensive program that breaks everything down into small "do"able steps. The support of the group is powerful. With specially trained psychotherapists leading the groups, there is a feeling of safety and protection.
