About Newport Academy Pineville
Newport Academy’s outpatient location in Pineville, North Carolina offers individualized outpatient care and education support to adolescents ages 13-18 and their families. Newport Academy treats addiction and mental health conditions like depression, trauma, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. Through a continuum of care that includes a therapeutic day program (PHP), intensive outpatient program (IOP), and outpatient care, they guide teens and families into long-lasting healing. Academic support provides collaboration with schools, special education teachers, tutors, and help applying to college.
Personalized and Empowering Treatment
Diagnostic assessments help guide the unique treatment of each teen, including guided support through individual therapy, art and music therapy, and focus groups. The accredited and professional staff at Newport Academy provide strengths-based care, aiming to meet individual needs in a healing and empowering way. Their multidisciplinary staff includes a psychiatrist, psychologist, therapists, nurses, dieticians, and adventure therapists. Holistic therapies work alongside clinical and evidence-based care to give well-rounded treatment.
Family Involvement
Family involvement is a key component in each teen’s therapeutic program, as Newport Academy aims to restore trust and communication with their parents and siblings. A stand-out feature of the program includes a peer-facilitation program led by parents who have first-hand experience with the challenges of both substance use and mental health. Here, families can learn about these challenges through a parent's view and gain the extra tools to support their loved one during healing.
Academic Support
Newport Academy Pineville’s PHP combines with their therapeutic day school, which pairs one-on-one counseling with specialized tutors so teens can stay on track with academics. Teens have 4+ hours of academic time daily. Newport Academy Pineville’s IOP allows teenagers to continue in traditional school and receive continuous care within a caring community. Their location in North Carolina, just off I-485, connects teens to fun adventure therapies in the city and in nature.
