Who We Are – About Newport Healthcare
At Newport Healthcare, we believe in sustainable healing. We bring teens and young adults from self-destruction to self-esteem by treating primary mental health issues, addressing the underlying causes of high-risk behavior. We treat individuals ages 12–27 who are struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, and/or co-occurring issues such as eating disorders and substance abuse. Through our clinical expertise and integrated care, we strive to help alleviate the stigma surrounding teen and young adult mental health.
Learn moreTeens and young adults who come to Newport Healthcare for treatment are not coming to us to get a cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all model. They want to heal their trauma and mental health issues, and it is our job as clinicians to figure out how we can best serve them and their family—now and throughout their healing journey.

Our History
In 2008, Newport Academy, an entity of Newport Healthcare, was founded by Jamison Monroe Jr. and his father, and was set out to build a comprehensive treatment alternative to rehabilitation. Today, Newport Healthcare empowers tens of thousands of teens, young adults, and their families through progressive treatment programs that achieves unparalleled outcomes.
2008
Newport Healthcare opens Newport Academy in Orange County, California. It was here, that we opened the doors of a six-bed facility for adolescent girls, and that we developed an integrated approach designed to balance the psychological, biological, social, educational, and spiritual needs of teens and young adults.
