Individualized And Evidence-Based
Individualized And Evidence-Based
Newport Academy’s Northern California locations house teens in gender-specific homes. They treat each teen with the individualized care they need and deserve–no two teens are alike, and neither is their treatment. Newport’s team of professionals work to create custom care, using evidence-based methods with proven results and trackable, successful outcomes. No two families are alike either, making their care plan just as personal.
Academic Support
Academic Support
Teens continue school in treatment, led by Newport Academy’s accredited teachers. Just like their therapeutic care, teens receive an individualized academic plan, with 1-1 tutoring and peer support. This all begins in the same supportive and safe environment of treatment, with all academics on site and led by Newport’s teaching staff. Parents meet with teachers in parent-teacher meetings, allowing for connections and engagement between everyone involved.
Family-Wide Healing

Newport Academy extends healing to the whole family. Master-level therapists lead attachment-based family therapy to help teens and their parents heal strained relationships and make healthy ones.

Together, teens and their families learn how to move forward with hope and cope with challenges as they come.
