Grateful Patient Testimonials

“If not for Acadia Hospital, I would not be here today.”

In April of 2019, Adelaide reached a breaking point. Just shy of her eighteenth birthday, she isolated herself from family and friends and restricted her food intake. Frightened and unsure of what was happening to her body, Adelaide's family reached out to Northern Light Acadia Hospital.

Adelaide was diagnosed with an eating disorder, the first step in what would become a months-long journey that included outpatient treatment at Acadia's Eating Disorders Program. Adelaide benefitted from one-on-one therapy with a licensed clinical social worker, group therapy, and consultation with a dietitian.

“I'm so thankful for the connections I've made and for the people who have helped me to get to where I am,” she says. “If not for Acadia Hospital, I would not be here today.”

Adelaide successfully went on to attend college in Massachusettes where she studied English and psychology.
