About Us

Located in scenic Carlsbad, California, three miles from the Pacific Coast, Montecatini is an eating disorder treatment center for women ages 16+.

Who We Are

Since opening our doors in 1991, we have successfully treated hundreds of women with eating disorders. Our treatment philosophy focuses on walking alongside you as you begin your journey towards healing, and we believe that successful treatment requires you to be cared for as a whole person. Therefore, in the context of a positive, respectful, and culturally-sensitive environment, we employ holistic, evidence-based methods to treat each woman’s unique mind, body, and soul.

During your stay with us, you will work closely with a team of caring and expert professionals who are dedicated to helping you grow and heal. Our treatment team includes:

  • A psychiatrist
  • Registered dieticians
  • Licensed clinical professional counselors
  • Licensed marriage and family therapists
  • Licensed clinical social workers
  • Registered nurses
  • Physician’s assistants
  • Client assistants
  • Licensed vocational nurses

Care Planning

While at Montecatini, you will play an integral role in planning your treatment and will work with your primary therapist and other treatment staff to develop a treatment experience that most closely fits your own needs, as well as your unique challenges and dreams for the future. Our program is structured to provide you with consistency, and our low client-to-staff ratio allows you to receive the personalized attention that will help set you on a path to lifelong recovery.

Additionally, your care does not end once you have completed our residential treatment. In the interest of helping you maximize your ability to recover successfully, we provide a full range of aftercare services including partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programming options. We begin discharge planning starting on your first day of admission to ensure that you are fully supported during your transition out of residential care, and to help you step down from residential treatment to partial hospitalization, to intensive outpatient care.

Next Steps

In seeking treatment, you have taken a bold step. We honor and respect the courage it takes to face an eating disorder, and we want to help you in any way that we can to ensure that your journey towards recovery is successful. When you choose to heal at Montecatini, you be can confident in knowing that a healthier and more joyful life is within your reach.

I would recommend Montecatini to any person on the planet because I know they will be getting the best care this world has to offer.
