Who We Serve
Our residential treatment center is specifically designed for adolescent girls and boys ages 13–17, serving adolescents and other young people who are struggling with mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma-related disorders, substance use, eating disorders, behavioral issues, and addiction. We welcome youth from Oakley and nearby towns including Coalville, Kamas, Heber City, Park City, and the greater Salt Lake City area. Our program also supports teens with co-occurring disorders and learning difficulties, providing a nurturing environment tailored to each child’s unique needs.
When Residential Treatment May Be Appropriate
Residential treatment is appropriate when outpatient therapy has not resulted in sufficient progress, or when teens and adolescents exhibit persistent mental health issues, risky behaviors, self-harm, or severe emotional distress that require a safe, structured environment. Parents should consider residential care if their teen struggles with bipolar disorder, trauma, suicidal ideation, or if behavioral challenges significantly impact daily functioning and social interactions, helping a parent find the right level of care for their child when these challenges are affecting daily functioning at home or school for young people.

Our Campus
My teen went to Newport from May to July of this year. Was in a pretty rough spot at that time in their life and was transferred from the University of Utah Inpatient to Newport Residential.
We had been through both residential and impatient mental-treatment centers before. Overall, most experiences have been good. I have to say that Newport is exceptional. The intake team and staff were very on the ball and accommodating. They work well with different situations and have people that are well versed, trained and educated to work with a lot of different angles that they get from teens that go there.
