Clementine Fairfax Marks Mid-Atlantic expansion of Eating Disorder Treatment for Adolescents of All Genders
FAIRFAX STATION, Va., Aug. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Monte Nido & Affiliates, a leading national provider of eating disorder treatment for over twenty-five years, announces today the opening of a new residential eating disorder center in Fairfax Station, VA. Clementine Fairfax, located west of Washington, DC, will provide clinical and nutritional care along with medical and psychiatric oversight for adolescents of all genders between the ages of 11 and 17 with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and/or exercise addiction. Clementine's programming will take place in the comfort of a home and will complement Monte Nido & Affiliate's current program for adolescent girls, Clementine Twin Lakes, in nearby Clifton, VA.
Anorexia has the highest mortality rate of any mental health illness according to the National Institute of Mental Health. Therefore, it is critical to pursue early intervention strategies to achieve full recovery from any eating disorder. "The opening of Clementine Fairfax provides opportunity for adolescents in need of early treatment to have outcome-backed care and access to help that is essential to their recovery" said Candy Henderson, MS, Chief Executive Officer. "We have seen the need for treatment increase as a result of the pandemic. By opening a gender-inclusive program for adolescents in Fairfax County, we are now able to bring additional help and support to those with eating disorders."
The multifaceted treatment at Clementine Fairfax will be personalized for every individual using evidence-based approaches. The residential center includes 24-hour nursing with comprehensive academic and family support. "The Clementine program is unique due to the treatment model designed specifically for teens," said Joel Jahraus, MD, FAED, CEDS, Chief Medical Officer.
