About Newport Institute - Young Adult OCD Program (Closed)
*CLOSED* Newport Academy’s OCD program treats obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and related anxiety conditions, including agoraphobia, panic disorders, social anxiety, and trichotillomania. Young adults ages 18-35 reside in gender-specific homes and receive academic support during treatment with a Learning Lab and an on-staff tutor. Newport Institute also involves family in recovery, providing family therapy and continued communication to help loved ones heal as a unit.
Clinically Based OCD Treatment
Newport Institute’s OCD treatment revolves around exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP), which exposes clients to stressors and adjusts their responses. Young adults attend ERP therapy 4.5 hours a day, 5 days a week. ERP takes place in group and individual settings, with additional homework clients complete independently. Other evidence-based therapies include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and attachment-based family therapy (ABFT). Experiential therapies like horticulture therapy, creative therapies, and adventure therapies promote emotional regulation and teach coping tools.
Individualized Care for Young Adults And Families
Newport Institute’s experienced staff include psychiatrists, family therapists, nurse practitioners, counselors, art therapists, music therapists, dieticians, and adventure therapists. An initial psychiatric evaluation guides treatment and determines which medications may alleviate symptoms. Young adults and their parents receive psychoeducation on OCD and family therapy to heal as a whole.
Accredited Services And Academic Support
Newport Institute provides on-site academic support with an equipped learning room and on-staff tutors. Tutors help young adults progress with their collegiate studies, apply to college, and improve their vocational skills. With a foundation built on compassion and love, Newport Institute continuously researches the efficacy of their treatment and provides ongoing outcome studies.
