Newport Academy: Integrated Behavioral Healthcare for Teens

A Compassionate Approach to Healing

Newport Academy stands out as a leading provider of comprehensive behavioral health treatment tailored specifically for adolescents and their families. Operating with a foundation of compassionate care and clinical expertise, their mission is to foster sustainable healing and resilience in young people struggling with mental health issues and co-occurring disorders, which frequently include substance use challenges.

Their approach is rooted in understanding and addressing the core issues that contribute to a teen’s symptomology, such as underlying trauma. By focusing on the root causes rather than just the surface-level behaviors, Newport Academy aims to facilitate long-term, authentic recovery.

Integrated, Multidisciplinary Treatment

The clinical model at Newport Academy is integrated and multidisciplinary, ensuring that each client receives a highly individualized treatment plan. This holistic strategy acknowledges the interconnectedness of a teen’s physical, psychological, social, and educational needs.

Treatment programs are offered in both residential and outpatient settings, providing flexibility to meet the varying needs of families. Every customized treatment plan typically encompasses:

  • Medical and psychiatric evaluation and care.
  • Individual and group clinical therapy.
  • Family therapy, emphasizing strengthened communication and harmony at home.
  • Experiential modalities, which may include activities like equine therapy or adventure therapy.
  • An accredited academic curriculum to maintain educational progress during treatment.

This evidence-based approach is designed to help adolescents develop crucial life skills, build self-esteem, and establish a foundation for sustained well-being long after they leave the program.

Commitment to Excellence and Connection

Newport Academy is dedicated to delivering the highest quality of ethical care, often surpassing typical behavioral healthcare offerings in terms of therapeutic hours and the involvement of medical and clinical professionals. The organization holds accreditations, including the Gold Seal of Approval® from The Joint Commission, demonstrating their commitment to excellence.

Central to their values are patient safety, compassion, and connection. They strive to build authentic relationships—first helping teens connect with themselves, and then with their families and the broader community. This focus on connection is vital for creating a supportive environment where profound, lasting change can occur.
