What Is Residential Treatment?

Residential treatment centers are home-like, live-in, and gender-specific facilities that provide a structured and supportive environment where young people can begin to heal. A residential setting offers intensive therapeutic interventions, 24/7 care, and a supportive community of peers facing similar challenges.  

This immersive setting allows for a comprehensive approach to treatment, where a multidisciplinary team of experts address underlying issues that lead to mental health issues and maladaptive behavior. During residential treatment, young people develop healthy coping strategies, build resilience and self-confidence, and learn essential skills needed to thrive in their next stage of life.  

Residential treatment is the best option for those who are not improving with outpatient care, are experiencing significant levels of mental health distress, have co-occurring mental health and substance use issues, or are a risk to themselves or others. 

A mental health evalutation will help determine the appropriate level of care.

Why Newport for Residential Treatment?  

Our integrated approach to treatment addresses anxiety, depression, and other mental health disorders through age-appropriate, gender-specific care. Our program includes individual and group therapy, family therapy, an accredited academic program for children and teens, and a life skills component for young adults. We meet our patients where they are with individualized treatment plans that address their physical, psychological, social, and emotional well-being.
