Our Teen Male Residential Locations
Our boarding academy locations offer privacy and safety, in surroundings of natural beauty, with a limited number of residents at any given time. Experience has taught us that keeping our groups small and intimate results in dramatically better outcomes for sustainable healing and personal growth.
Our tailored clinical approach and gender-specific treatment environments are designed to allow adolescent males to feel comfortable in their own skin and build strong peer support—essential in the treatment and recovery process.

Gender-Specific and Age-Specialized Treatment
At Newport Academy, we provide gender-responsive care, meaning that teen boys are treated in separate residential treatment programs and live in separate housing. Years of experience and research have taught us that gender-responsive care supports teen boys in opening up, engaging with treatment, and forming authentic and honest connections.
Moreover, Newport Academy’s clinicians and staff have specialized training in treating LGBTQ+ teens. Our treatment is also specialized for the specific age and stage of our clients: We recognize the many pressures and challenges that teens face in today’s uncertain world.
The Long-Term Benefits of Residential Care
Parents often ask us, “Why should I consider residential care for my son?” The benefits of teen treatment are numerous and will positively impact your son for his entire life. In addition to addressing the root causes of mental health disorders, residential mental health treatments gives teen boys tools for healthy coping and builds their emotional regulation.
Furthermore, teen boys learn relationship and communication skills, and form strong, authentic connections with peers and mentors. You will likely see a difference very quickly when your teen son begins residential treatment.
Is Residential Care the Right Fit for My Son?
If your son is struggling with anxiety, depression, substance use disorder, anger issues, or PTSD, residential treatment is often the most effective approach for addressing underlying issues and achieving sustainable healing.
Experts recommend longer stays in teen residential treatment in order to achieve successful outcomes. That’s because it takes time to uncover and heal the root causes of behavioral issues, especially when teen boys have co-occurring disorders like problem substance use or eating disorders (known as a dual diagnosis).
The Rewards and Benefits of Treatment for Teen Boys
Wondering how to convince your son to start residential treatment? Let him know that his time in treatment will be hard work, but it will also be fun and meaningful.
With experiential activities like Adventure Therapy (including ropes courses, rock climbing, and ziplining), Equine-Assisted Therapy, and Mixed Martial Arts (depending on location), residential treatment for teen boys can be exciting and empowering—providing the healthy challenge and skill mastery that supports adolescent male mental health and self-esteem.
