Provider's Policy: We work with most major insurance companies, including both In-Network and out-of-network payers, to optimize access to care for families and teens affected by addiction.
Newport Academy’s Connecticut locations house teens in gender-specific homes. They treat each teen with the individualized care they need and deserve–no two teens are alike, and neither is their treatment. Newport’s team of professionals work to create custom care, using evidence-based methods with proven results and trackable, successful outcomes. No two families are alike either, making their care plan just as personal.
Teens continue school in treatment, led by Newport Academy’s accredited teachers. Just like their therapeutic care, teens receive an individualized academic plan, with 1-1 tutoring and peer support. This all begins in the same supportive and safe environment of treatment, with all academics on site and led by Newport’s teaching staff. Parents meet with teachers in parent-teacher meetings, allowing for connections and engagement between everyone involved.
Newport Academy extends healing to the whole family. Master-level therapists lead attachment-based family therapy to help teens and their parents heal strained relationships and make healthy ones. Educational sessions support parents in learning more about addiction and mental health, helping them become the supportive allies they strive to be. Together, teens and their families learn how to move forward with hope and cope with challenges as they come.
Set on 120 acres, Newport Academy’s gender-specific homes in Connecticut invite teens to completely refocus on health and recovery. On Newport’s campus, teens can garden, go on long walks, and try yoga with their peers. Travel hubs remain close even with their countryside location. Inside, teens have rooms to bond with their peers and shared bedrooms for downtime.

I was a client of the male CT campus from Feb-May of 2020. It is safe to say that Newport changed my life.I have been struggling with my mental health since eighth grade, and unfortunately, it came to the point where I was in the hospital for the third time in the span of ten months. At that point, I had no motivation to do anything, and could not imagine a future. I struggled with suicidal ideation every day, as well as self-harm, flashbacks, anxiety, and depression.After 37 days at the hospital, I was at my lowest point of all time. None of it was working and I felt hopeless that it would never get better. That was when I transferred to Newport.The amount of love, support, and care I received there was immeasurable. Right away, I noticed that I was treated like a human and not a "sick kid" like I was in the hospital. I could tell that staff genuinely WANTED to be there - it wasn't just a job for them. The Care Coordinators are some of the best people I've ever met and I miss them every day.Of course, it was rough sometimes, but that's because it's residential. During the course of my stay, however, my mindset started to change, even though I had never thought it would. I slowly started to "do the work," and was able to create goals and imagine a future.The number of positive results I have seen during and even after my stay says everything. I am so grateful that I went to NP and cherish the moments that I did not have before it. I wake up every morning and WANT TO BE ALIVE. This had not been the case for a long, long time.I was the one who did the work, but the love I felt all around me was the reason why I found it possible. The encouragement that I received helped so much in terms of finding that hope again.Recovery is not a one-size-fits-all process, and Newport understands that. They work with you and dig down to the roots of behaviors and illness instead of skim the surface, which creates the long-lasting results. I am forever grateful to NPA.
