About Newport Institute Northern California (Closed)
*CLOSED* Newport Institute offers gender-specific treatment for young adults ages 18 to 35 who struggle with mental health issues co-occurring disorders. Each resident’s treatment plan includes clinical, experiential, vocational, and educational aspects for long-lasting effectiveness. The Newport Institute provides individual and group therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), nutrition education, body image group, and attachment-based family therapy (ABFT). Founder Jamison Monroe created Newport Institute to help young adults have fulfilling, happy lives as they are the generation with the most dramatic rise in mental health issues in the United States.
Comfortable Gender-Specific Living
Newport Institute has youth male and female programs located in Northern California, with two residential homes for women in San Rafael and one for men in Sunol. They incorporate experiential practices into their patient’s schedules. These include yoga, equine-assisted therapy, cooking classes, and martial arts. They strive to provide a well-rounded program, so they also have life skills programs, career counseling and spiritual programs.
Comprehensive Treatment Programs
Young adults spend 30 hours in clinical and experiential care. Their academic pursuits take up another 20 hours, keeping patients comfortably busy as they work through treatment. Newport Institute uses assessments and personalized care to get to the “why” behind addiction and behavioral issues, treating much more than just the symptoms. Their proven success comes largely from compassionate staff, who aim to heal young adults in mind, body, and spirit.
Care for The Future
Newport Institute’s life skills and academic programs prepare young adults for their new futures. Vocational assistance helps older patients as they transition out of schooling and into work, improving their executive skills and motivation. For the college-bound, Newport Institute helps patients keep on track with school and keep their future goals a priority.
