Newport Institute is dedicated to supporting every aspect of a young adult’s journey. Our mental health treatment approach encompasses medical and psychiatric care, clinical and experiential therapeutic modalities, and educational and life-skills components. We provide the tools needed for a resilient, thriving life, in which young people are both self-sufficient and connected to a larger community. Our mission is to help young adults move into the next phase of life with a sense of purpose and hope.
Medical & Clinical
Psychiatry
We perform a thorough clinical assessment to determine each incoming resident’s specific needs and create an individualized treatment plan that encompasses a variety of therapeutic modalities.
Medical Care
Newport Institute’s licensed, highly qualified medical doctors specialize in the health and development of young people. Our medical staff is available to oversee residents 24 hours a day.
Medication Management
Following a thorough assessment, our psychiatrists recommend psychiatric medication regimen as needed, and closely track the patient’s progress, with the goal of optimizing wellness and treatment goals.
Attachment-Based Family Therapy
We use Attachment-Based Family Therapy to heal rifts in the parent-child relationship, so that young adults can turn to their parents for support even as they develop autonomy and independence.
Individual & Group Therapy
Each young adult attends multiple weekly sessions, both individual sessions and group sessions with expert clinicians, using a variety of evidence-based modalities.
Psychoeducation
In our psychoeducation groups, Newport Institute’s clinical professionals educate young adults on how the brain works, supporting clients to question negative beliefs and shift their thought processes in a positive direction.
Gender-Responsive Approach
Our gender-responsive approach treats patients according to gender identity. Therefore, young adults feel seen for who they are and experience deep bonding in our group discussions and activities.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines acceptance and mindfulness with commitment and behavior-change strategies to increase clients’ dedication to healing and self-care.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is an evidence-based approach that helps young adults shift irrational and destructive thinking toward more realistic and positive thought patterns.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills help young adults acknowledge the destructive behaviors they are using to cope with underlying issues, and build healthy distress tolerance strategies.
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing
This evidence-based psychotherapeutic treatment is proven to alleviate distress from PTSD and traumatic memories, and also helps improve depression and anxiety symptoms.
Nutrition and Diet
We recognize adequate nourishment as a foundational support for mental health treatment and the process of healing. Our dietary program combines evidenced-based education with mindful eating to support a gentle nutrition approach.
Experiential
Yoga
Clients experience the powerful healing impacts of movement and breath, along with building presence and mindfulness, in a supportive group setting.
Fitness Activity
Healthy exercise is a fundamental part of our mental health and rehab treatment. Young adults learn basic fitness skills that they can use as positive coping methods in daily life.
Music Therapy
Young adults acknowledge and express their deep-rooted emotions as they create and listen to music, individually and as a group.
Adventure Therapy
Adventure therapy includes activities like rock climbing, paddleboarding, surfing, hiking, ropes courses, and kayaking. While developing new skills, young adults gain confidence, collaborate, and have fun.
Martial Arts Group
Martial Arts sessions provide opportunities to work through mental challenges via a physical outlet. This activity, offered at some locations, offers a sense of empowerment and self-mastery within a structured format.
Community Service
The integration of community service and volunteer work is a powerful force for facilitating change.
Photography
Photography encourages young adults to look at the world from a different perspective. Clients learn to find and focus on beauty in everyday life.
Art Therapy
In art therapy groups, young adults use visual arts to find new, creative modes to express themselves and process emotions.
Life Skills Program
Building Independence
At Newport Institute, young adults learn practical skills for building autonomy and strong relationships, while strengthening executive functioning.
Career Development
We help guide young adults in gathering the information and knowledge they need to step confidently into the next chapter of life.
Academic Planning
When appropriate for their life stage, clients work with our teachers to forge a path that ignites enthusiasm and hope for the future.
Spiritual
Mindfulness
Every morning, our young adults set goals, state positive affirmations, and access spiritual connection. This supports them to start the day from a foundation of calm and self-awareness.
Meditation
Benefits of meditation include greater calm, clarity, and focus. Consequently, this practice helps young adults participate in the healing process with greater intent, comfort, and ease.
Church, Synagogue, Temple
We honor all religious affiliations. Hence, our clients have the opportunity to attend church, temple, or synagogue to maintain their spiritual practices while in treatment. Spiritual connection is one way in which young adults find meaning and purpose.
