PATIENT PROFILES
Risk Factors + Symptomology
To deepen our insight into our patients’ experiences and challenges, our assessments ask patients about their exposure to various risk factors, including sexual abuse and bullying, and their engagement in potentially self-destructive behaviors, such as substance use and disordered eating. The link is important: For example, research shows that young people who use cannabis regularly are often self-medicating to cope with mental health challenges.
Patient profile and outcomes data is compiled and analyzed by Newport’s Center for Research and Innovation.
28% of Young Adults
reported having experienced sexual abuse.
1 in 4 Teens
has been a victim of cyberbulling and in 1 in 2 has experienced verbal bullying.
50% of Adolescents

1 in 4 Patients
including teens and young adults, at intake, felt their family did not accept them for who they are.
6 Hours on Screens

Integrated, Multidisciplinary Treatment That Creates Sustainable Healing
To create sustainable healing from mental health conditions and co-occurring issues, Newport’s clinical model addresses the root causes, such as traumatic experiences, that catalyze patients’ symptomology. Each patient’s tailored treatment plan may include psychiatric care, medication management, clinical therapy, experiential activities, and academic and life skills instruction.
Effective, Gender-Responsive Care
Half of Newport patients in 2023 identified as heterosexual and half as gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, or other. LGBTQ+ patients reported higher rates of bullying and more severe symptoms at intake across all areas except substance use, as compared to cisgender, heterosexual patients. Despite this, LGBTQ+ patients in our care improved at similar rates as straight, cisgender patients across anxiety, depression, and well-being measures.

The Alumni Experience
“My whole life, I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety. I tried three outpatient programs to help manage the intensity of my symptoms and none seemed to do the trick. I knew that I needed to try something different.
Deciding to come to Newport Institute for residential treatment was one of the hardest and also most impactful choices I have ever made for myself. My Newport experience was phenomenal. I learned so much about myself and about recovery. If I could do my treatment experience all over again, I would do it the exact same way.”

The Path of Healing
Newport’s treatment not only gives young people hope for the future, it also provides them with the confidence to launch into the next stage of life. Our academics and life skills programming enhances patients’ executive functioning, nurtures their talents, and gives them practical skills. Adolescents and young adults learn they are not alone in their struggles, make strong positive connections, and gain tools for a thriving future.
