“EDCMT truly saved my life. The combination of individual therapy, nutritional services, and group therapy provided direct support, accountability, and a community with which I could share my struggles and successes. I would not have grown into the healthy individual I am today without it.” EDCMT Patient 

Our experienced team of multidisciplinary clinicians takes an evidence-based and holistic approach to care, seeking to treat not just eating disorder behaviors, but also the root cause. We guide our patients to address their stressors, moving beyond disordered coping to free them to live wholeheartedly. Program services include a combination of individual, family, and group psychotherapy, nutrition counseling and rehabilitation, psycho-education, and supervised meal encounters.  

The treatment team consists of an attending physician (psychiatrist), advanced-degree licensed therapists, registered dietitians, registered nurses, milieu therapists, and administrators. We strive to empower our patients with newfound resiliency and skills they can use the rest of their lives. 

“At EDCMT you realize that no one suffers alone and that there is a way out of the pain you have felt for so long. Without the help of the intensive outpatient program, I would be in a very different place today. I am incredibly grateful for the people who guided my journey toward recovery.” EDCMT Patient

Sometimes, the need to refer a patient for eating disorder treatment is clear. Other times, a person’s unique combination of signs and symptoms can make diagnosis more challenging. Starting with a conversation between your team and ours will help us all determine:

● The likelihood an eating disorder exists in a given patient.

● The intensity of the treatment program that will most likely meet the patient’s needs.

● Extenuating circumstances you may be aware of that can help us better serve your patient.

Contact us at 406.451.7370 to talk more about how we can assist you and your clients, or fax us a face sheet with your most recent visit note to 406.571.7956. We will then reach out to the referred patient to schedule an initial call. 

When a new patient enters our program, we begin with a thorough three step assessment process. The intake assessment underpins our recommendation for treatment level of care. Your patient can then make an informed decision about the recommended program level of care. During the initial assessment, patients complete several intake forms including a release of medical information form, allowing us to update you on their progress through our treatment program.

• Step 1: An initial screening telephone call. Common barriers to entering treatment are often addressed at this time.
• Step 2: Verify health insurance coverage (if the patient desires).
• Step 3: Intake assessments with an EDCMT therapist/intake specialist and registered dietitian as well as a psychiatrist (depending on severity of the patient’s symptoms).

At EDCMT, we place our patients into specific levels of care based on the unique needs of each person. We offer partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient programs. 

• Partial Hospitalization Program: For those who need the highest level of care and consistent support. Ages 16 and up. 6-8 hours per day, 6 days per week including structured group therapies, expressive arts, individual visits, nutrition counseling, meal support and medical management. 
• Intensive Outpatient Program: For those who need focused support or are in school or hold a full-time job. Ages 16 and up. 3-5 hours per day, 3 days per week including individual therapy, nutrition counseling, meal support and group therapy. 
• Outpatient Program: For those who have stepped down from a higher level of care or for those needing focused support to aid in eating problems and other mental health issues. All ages. 1-4 hours per week, 1-2 days per week including individual therapy, nutrition counseling, family therapy, and family-based treatment.
• In addition to in-person treatment, we also provide tele-health services through our virtual HIPAA compliant platform for our intensive outpatient and outpatient clients throughout Montana. Our engaging and lively virtual programs are ideal for patients who live in areas with limited access to specialty eating disorder treatment, have family, work or school obligations or who are apprehensive about receiving treatment in-person.

For out-of-town adult patients who need a place to stay during the course of their treatment, our spacious and attractive lodging facility is located within walking distance from EDCMT’s two locations.
