About Newport Academy Connecticut
Newport Academy is a residential healing center for teens ages 12-17 struggling with mental health issues, eating disorders, trauma, and substance abuse. Newport Academy strives to empower teens and restore families. They provide a comprehensive approach that blends evidence-based and holistic therapies, broken into 4 categories: clinical, experiential, spiritual, and academic. Their robust range of therapies includes body image group, gender-specific therapy, 12-Step, Bowen’s family system theory, equine therapy, music and art therapy, horticulture, culinary arts, and yoga.
Newport Academy’s gender-specific teen rehab centers address the differences and needs of males and females. Each patient receives a tailored treatment plan, backed by the expertise of doctors, psychiatrists, family therapist, nurses, and a dietician. Adventure therapies include hiking, rock climbing, kayaking, and more depending on location and season. Newport Academy includes family in the healing process too, inviting them to be as involved as possible. Family therapy and support for parents complements the treatment their teen receives.
Newport Academy Connecticut is close to NYC and Connecticut airports, making travel easier. Their campus rests on 120 acres, offering privacy and a chance to really get away from the triggers of the outside world. Patients can enjoy streams, foliage, and walking trails on the property.

Common areas in each gender-specific home provide a comfortable and safe environment for group therapy, relaxing, or talking with other peers.

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.
