About Newport Academy St. Cloud
Newport Academy is a residential healing center for teens ages 12-18 struggling with mental health issues, eating disorders, trauma, and substance abuse. Newport Academy strives to empower teens and restore families. They provide a comprehensive approach that blends evidence-based and holistic therapies, broken into 4 categories: clinical, experiential, spiritual, and academic. Their robust range of therapies includes body image group, gender-specific therapy, 12-Step, Bowen’s family system theory, equine therapy, music and art therapy, horticulture, culinary arts, and yoga.
Newport Academy’s gender-specific teen rehab centers address the differences and needs of males and females. Each patient receives a tailored treatment plan, backed by the expertise of doctors, psychiatrists, family therapist, nurses, and a dietician. Newport Academy includes family in the healing process too, inviting them to be as involved as possible. Family therapy and support for parents complements the treatment their teen receives.
Newport Academy St. Cloud is close to Minneapolis’ international airport, making travel easier. Their campus rests on a quiet property right by the Mississippi River, offering privacy and a chance to really get away from the triggers of the outside world. Teens share a room with a roommate, sharing one private bathroom between the two. Common areas in each gender-specific home provide a comfortable and safe environment for group therapy, relaxing, or talking with other peers.
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. Newport Academy in St. Cloud is accredited by The Joint Commission and covered by most private insurance providers.

Insurance Accepted
Provider's Policy: We work with most major insurance companies, including both In-Network and out-of-network payers, to optimize access to care for families and teens affected by addiction.
Newport Academy’s Minnesota 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.
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.
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. Educational sessions support parents in learning more about addiction and mental health, helping them become the supportive allies they strive to be. Together, teens and their families learn how to move forward with hope and cope with challenges as they come.
Gender-specific homes in Newport Academy’s St. Cloud locations are close to the Mississippi River, private, and about an hour from Minneapolis’ international airport. Teens live in an environment conducive to recovery, surrounded by nature and set apart from the outside world. Newport Academy encourages teens to garden, enjoy yoga, and join in other experiential activities.
