About Newport Academy

Newport Academy, listed in Orange, California, is part of a national network of behavioral health programs for children, teens, and young adults. Their focus is adolescent mental health, and they treat substance use alongside depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, OCD, eating disorders, bipolar disorder, and suicidal ideation, with particular attention to co-occurring conditions. Across their locations, they offer live-in residential care for teens ages 12 to 18, Partial Hospitalization Programs with full-day treatment while teens sleep at home, Intensive Outpatient Programs, and telehealth options. They also list separate residential tracks for children ages 7 to 11 and young adults ages 18 to 35.

Each client follows an individualized plan delivered by a team of psychiatrists, physicians, therapists, nurses, and registered dietitians. Clinical approaches include CBT, DBT, Attachment-Based Family Therapy, EMDR, Exposure and Response Prevention, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and the Emotional Freedom Technique, along with psychiatric care and medication management. Families stay closely involved through family therapy, teens keep up with schoolwork through an accredited academic curriculum, and art, music, and adventure therapy give them other ways to heal and express themselves. Residential housing is separated by gender, the staff have experience supporting LGBTQ+ teens, and discharge planning and alumni groups help young people stay connected once formal treatment ends.
