Newport Mental Health - Middletown, RI

About Newport Mental Health

Newport Mental Health is a nonprofit community behavioral health center in Middletown, Rhode Island, serving people who live, work, or study in Newport County. Founded in 1964, they were the state’s first federally Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic, and they treat mental health conditions, substance use disorders, and the two together. For adults with substance use concerns, care includes standard outpatient therapy and an intensive outpatient program, with a strengths-based, person-centered approach that welcomes harm reduction. Walk-in hours on weekdays allow new clients to meet with a clinician the same day, and they accept most insurance and offer a sliding fee scale that goes down to $0 for those without coverage.

Their Hope Intensive Outpatient Program combines individual counseling, group therapy, peer support, medication management, and case management, and it can serve as a first step into care, a step up from weekly sessions, or a step down after inpatient or residential treatment. People living with both a mental illness and a substance use disorder can join Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment, where a single multidisciplinary team provides coordinated care, skills training, and ongoing support matched to each person’s readiness for change. A 24/7 crisis helpline, mobile crisis clinicians, and follow-up stabilization are available to anyone in a mental health or substance use crisis, and clinicians screen for suicide risk at every visit. Clients can also get help with primary care coordination, telehealth, supported employment, housing assistance, and supervised apartments for adults with serious mental illness and co-occurring substance use.
