Integrated Clinical Model and Therapeutic Approach
The core of Newport Academy’s treatment success lies in its comprehensive clinical model. This model integrates various therapies to ensure personalized care for every individual.

Treatment plans are individualized and strength-based, recognizing the unique needs and potential of each young person.
Teens receive care in both residential and outpatient settings, depending on the severity of their needs and their family’s circumstances. Regardless of the setting, the treatment incorporates a blend of therapies, which may include:
- Individual and Group Therapy
- Experiential and Adventure Therapy
- Academic Support
- Family Counseling and Support
- Trauma-Informed Care
The dedicated clinical team guides families through every step of the process, creating a supportive network extending beyond the teen to encompass their entire support system.
