Alumni Program for Teens and Young Adults
Newport Healthcare’s dedicated Alumni team begins building relationships as soon as clients and families enter our program. We work together to create an impactful post-treatment program within a supportive, connected community of peers and mentors.
Support to Maintain Long-Term Recovery
Our outcomes research shows that adolescents and young adults in our care improve across multiple areas of life—and that continues long after they leave our care.
Following treatment, our clients report greater well-being, more supportive family relationships, fewer anxiety or depression symptoms, more optimism, and stronger motivation to succeed at school, at work, and in life.
Our Alumni Program supports all of these positive outcomes by bringing together young people and families for mutual support, inspiration, and celebration of their achievements.

Our tailored support groups address age-specific interests and needs, ranging from mindfulness practices, to LGBTQ+ mental health, to navigating the holidays—and much more.

Our impact
Personal experiences from our alumni and families
I miss Newport all the time—it even makes me emotional. The staff were life changing and truly believed in me. I read my goodbye letters whenever I need motivation to keep going. Newport genuinely saved my life

The staff didn’t learn my case file, they got to know me—my interests, hopes, dreams, adventures, quirks, jokes, and how much of me was being consumed by my OCD. My clinical team, Care Coordinators, and peers became my Newport family, and it was in my relations with them that I found the strength to start decoupling myself from my OCD.

The first few weeks were so hard! Eventually, my daughter made it through the first few stages of the program. Family therapy got better and easier. I saw a smile and laughter on her face that I hadn’t seen in months. It was then that I knew change was taking place—I could see it all over her face!

My daughter put in a lot of work every day and it started to show. Not only how she talked, but how she interacted in conversation. She was excited to use the tools she had learned through her therapy and interactions with other kids. Her humor made a comeback as well. I cherished every moment I saw her smiling again!

After being at Newport for only a few days and seeing what groups were like and who my support team was, I knew I was in the right place. I never knew how much I needed to learn, and I will be forever grateful to Newport for starting me on this path.

The compassion from others is what helped me know I made the right decision to continue to put myself first and heal. The staff at Newport Institute truly care and supported me through the entire experience.

Getting sober and healthy has brought me back up to speed and my memory is back. I treasure it now, all of the moments I thought once lost to time. The memories of the life I lived are now accessible to me again.
