Residential Program for Teens and Young Adults
Mental health struggles can devastate lives at any age. Residential treatment provides the tools young people need to address not just their symptoms, but the underlying trauma that contributes to mental health conditions and destructive behavior.
Newport Healthcare’s residential treatment program offers children ages 7–11, teens ages 12–18, and young adults ages 18–35 a welcoming, comfortable space to heal from mental health and co-occurring disorders.
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 evaluation will help determine the appropriate level of care.

What We Treat
We are dedicated to helping teens and young adults heal and thrive, by providing comprehensive treatment programs that emphasize connection, inspiration, and support systems. We specialize in treating the following mental health disorders:
Depression
The extreme sadness and despair that accompanies depression threatens a young person’s safety and well-being as well as their daily functioning. The emotional pain can lead to substance use, self-harm, eating disorders, and thoughts of suicide. Our treatment program helps uncover the root cause of the depression in order to sustain long-term healing.
Anxiety
Living with anxiety can hold you back from being the person you’re meant to be. It can impact every aspect of your life, from your capacity to handle school, work, and relationships. But it doesn’t have to. Anxiety is highly treatable with the right care.
PTSD/Trauma
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a serious psychological disorder that develops in some people who have been through or witnessed a traumatic event, such as a serious car accident, natural disaster, or physical or sexual abuse. Treatment helps alleviate the distressing symptoms, such as flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, and emotional numbness. Improving overall quality of life.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is characterized by unwanted thoughts and fears that drive a person to do compulsive acts in order to ease the stress. Our OCD-specific treatment program helps young people manage OCD symptoms reclaim their lives.
Eating Disorders
Eating disorders affect a young person’s physical and mental health. Symptoms such as extreme weight loss, changes in appearance, and physical exhaustion are dangerous and need immediate treatment. We treat primary mental health and secondary eating disorders in teens and young adults.
Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder is a condition characterized by severe mood swings that fluctuate between extreme highs, known as mania, to extreme lows, or depression. While the disorder is a lifelong condition, treatment can help people manage symptoms.
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is characterized by intense emotional instability, impulsive behaviors, and difficulties in interpersonal relationships. Treatment, including dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), can help individuals develop coping strategies and emotional regulation skills.
Substance Use Disorder
Substance use disorder in teens and young adults negatively affects every area of their life. Over time, recreational substance use can lead to severe addictions that threaten young people’s mental and physical health, relationships, and finances. With treatment, young people can achieve long-term recovery and build a brighter future.
Alcohol Use Disorder
Social drinking and partying can lead to severe alcohol addiction, which can threaten every area of a teen or young adult’s life. Our treatment program addresses the root cause, helping young people process past trauma, build resilience and self-worth, and develop healthy coping skills.
Psychosis
People with psychosis have a disconnection from reality, which can manifest as hallucinations and delusions. Individuals may have difficulty distinguishing between what is real and what is not, leading to significant distress and impairment in daily functioning. Comprehensive treatment can support recovery and improve overall well-being.

This facility has a system that works. My family has learned so much and continues to grow with the skills and tools learned from Newport Academy. My child would have been lost without them. The staff is very good. Aftercare is important and Newport also offers that.
