About Newport Academy North Carolina - Male Residential
Newport Academy’s North Carolina location treats teenage boys ages 12-18 in gender-specific homes. They address a wide range of conditions and challenges, including mental health conditions, drug and alcohol use, trauma, and eating disorders. They strive to treat teens as a whole, addressing their mind, body, and spirit throughout recovery. Newport Academy involves family for wide-spread recovery and provides robust on-site academic support.
Personalized Recovery for Teen Boys And Their FamiliesTeenage boys begin treatment with an assessment to properly gauge their needs and treatment requirements. From there, a personalized care team, including counselors, nurses, a psychiatrist, and a dietician, continue to meet the needs of each teen. Newport Academy uses attachment-based family therapy (ABFT) to help rebuild familial relationships. Individual and group therapy connect patients to themselves and their peers, helping them build new coping tools and regulate their emotions.
Newport Academy creates individualized treatment plans that include music and art therapy, yoga, meditation, adventure therapy, and various evidence-based therapies. Teens attend group and individual therapy, outdoor group activities, and equine-assisted therapy. Specialized services for eating disorders includes dietary care from certified dieticians and clinicians, mental health treatment, and fun experiential activities. Their location in North Carolina offers adventure therapies and access to nearby parks and nature preserves.
Newport Academy keeps teens on track with their school, offering tutoring and individualized schooling programs. On-site teachers incorporate academic progress with therapeutic care, giving teens a safe space to learn and heal. They have a fully accredited curriculum, provide SAT and ACT preparation, and help teens apply at colleges.

Teen boys continue school in treatment, led by Newport Academy’s accredited teachers and tutors. Just like their therapeutic care, teens receive an individualized academic plan, with 1-1 tutoring and peer support.

Parents meet with teachers in parent-teacher meetings, allowing for connections and engagement between everyone involved.

Educational sessions support parents in learning more about addiction and mental health.
Newport Academy North Carolina provides various evidence-based therapies, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and trauma therapy (EMDR).

I have seen the power of Newport Academy and the amount of difference their program make. I was most impressed by the family program. Families enter broken and emerging better shape and function. I have experienced the program first hand and have also met many alumni who also have equally positive experiences.
