Newport Academy— The Nation’s Leading Teen Treatment Center
What We Treat
At Newport Academy, we bring teens from self-destruction to self-esteem by treating the primary mental health issues that are the underlying causes of high-risk behavior. We treat individuals ages 12–18 who are struggling with teenage depression, teen anxiety, and trauma-related issues, along with co-occurring eating disorders and teenage substance abuse. Newport Academy is a different kind of teen rehab center. Through our clinical expertise and integrated care, we empower teens and restore families.
