Newport Academy’s gender-specific treatment model takes into account the physical, psychological, social, educational, and spiritual needs of adolescents ages 12-17. Patients’ weekly schedules blend a variety of scientifically validated modalities and experiential therapies, including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Adventure Therapy, which takes place in beautiful outdoor settings, is a cornerstone of our experiential offerings, which also include creative arts therapy, Equine-Assisted Therapy, yoga, martial arts, and more.
Our academic program sets up apart from other treatment centers. Residents spend structured time in the classroom each day, and with tutors as necessary, so they can continue to make progress during treatment. We work closely with teachers and school administrators at patients’ home schools to meet our shared goals of nurturing teens’ love of learning, advancing their progress, and giving them the executive functioning and organizational skills to be more engaged, inspired, and successful when they return to the school environment.
We believe that family involvement is essential in order for teens to achieve sustainable healing and recovery. Therefore, families attend weekly individualized family therapy sessions, a Saturday Family Program, and a Parent Intensive. We use Attachment-Based Family Therapy to repair parent-child relationships and restore family harmony, so that teens can turn to their family for support as they move from surviving into thriving.
