As the leading mental health treatment center for young people in the United States, we are dedicated to empowering young people and restore families. Research has found that the young adult generation—Gen Z and millennials—has experienced a dramatic rise in psychological distress and depressive symptoms. But few seek out treatment, and we want to help change that.
Our Environments
The right environment is key for self-care and successful treatment. With locations around the country, our residential and outpatient treatment centers are in close proximity to major cities, yet secluded in nature to ensure privacy and tranquility. Our breathtaking campuses house a limited number of residents at any given time, and clients receive individualized treatment plans for mental health issues including trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use disorder, and other diagnoses.
Family Connection
What do parents and young adult children want most in their family connections? Closer, more meaningful relationships with one another. Family counseling can help them reach that goal and find greater harmony and mutual support in the parent-child relationship. At Newport Institute, we utilize Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT), an empirically supported modality that not only improves these relationships but also successfully treats depression and helps prevent suicide in young people.
Experiential Therapies
Experiential therapy at Newport Institute supports young adults to process emotions and build confidence through a wide range of activities. In art and music therapy, clients find new ways to express themselves. During yoga and meditation sessions, they gain a sense of peace and presence. In adventure therapy, young adults master new skills, collaborate with peers, and overcome challenges in safe and supportive environments.
Clinical & Medical Experts With
World-Class Therapeutic Services
Our psychiatrists, therapists, nurses, teachers, and more bring a compassionate approach and years of clinical and therapeutic experience. We remove the stigma around mental health treatment and substance use issues and provide compassionate care that leads to self-awareness, confidence, and self-esteem. Here is a sampling of what to expect in treatment as part of a custom-tailored plan based on your unique history and needs.
Family Therapy
We treat young people in the context of the entire family. Family members, and others that young people consider family, participate in weekly therapy, recovery work, and monitored group activities on weekends.
Body Image Group
This therapeutic process group provides a gender-specific, safe, and supportive environment. Hence, young adults can express their concerns about body perceptions and external appearance, and evolve their perspectives on body image in order to build sustainable healthier habits.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) helps individuals acknowledge the unhealthy behaviors that materialize to cope with deeper underlying issues. Additionally, we develop ways to modify these behaviors, and building awareness around them is fundamental to processing issues differently.
Defining Your Success in the Real World
We take your life’s purpose as seriously as you do, and are committed to helping you thrive. Daily activities may include life coaching and working with an academic teacher to support your future educational and career goals. Our experts are here to help you study and achieve success in college and beyond.
The Learning Lab at Newport Institute is managed by a teacher who is a collaborative member of the treatment team, and who oversees various aspects of the client’s educational and/or vocational planning. The Learning Lab supports young adults to work on studies, job searches, and resume writing, and to get assistance with organizational strategies and other executive functioning skills.
Treating the Whole Person
Our integrated approach to treatment addresses every aspect of a young adult’s well-being—physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, and relational. To that end, each day at Newport Institute incorporates experiences designed to promote comprehensive healing on multiple levels—including evidence-based clinical modalities; experiential therapy, like art, music, yoga, and outdoor adventures; and mindfulness practices like yoga and meditation.
A Healing Experience
It’s often easier to make a new start when you create a physical and emotional distance from the familiar places and unhealthy patterns that are weighing you down. We select our bucolic locations specifically for this reason—to provide peaceful places in which clients can reconnect with themselves, others, and the natural world. Young adults experience opportunities and environments that support the development of positive self-care habits and a deeper sense of meaning. This immersion approach is proven to support better outcomes and long-term, sustainable healing.
We are dedicated to ensuring that every aspect of our clients’ and families’ experience at Newport surpasses their expectations—from the moment they step through our doors through their time in treatment, discharge planning, and alumni programming. That means listening closely to our clients, continually vetting our systems, and prioritizing cohesion and communication among our teams. We are always asking, and answering, the question, Where can we enhance our impact for every individual, every step of the way?
