An Integrated Continuum of Care
Newport Institute's philosophy is built on providing comprehensive, long-term care that addresses the whole person—not just the symptoms. Their programs are designed to flow seamlessly from one level to the next, ensuring young adults receive the right intensity of support at every stage of their healing journey, with a strong focus on family integration and sustainable recovery.
Typical Length: 30-90+ Days
The cornerstone of their program, residential care provides 24/7 support in a comfortable, home-like setting. Clients engage in a structured schedule of individual, group, and experiential therapies. Housing is gender-specific, creating a safe and focused atmosphere for deep healing and peer connection. Sub-acute detox and medication management are integrated as needed.
Flexible Day & Evening Schedules
PHP offers full-day programming (Mon-Fri) as a step-down from residential care, while IOP provides a less intensive schedule to support clients as they reintegrate into school, work, and daily life. Both programs continue to provide robust clinical care, therapy, and skill-building. A virtual outpatient option is also available.
Believing that sustainable recovery involves the whole family, Newport Institute requires active family participation. The program includes weekly family therapy sessions and monitored weekend activities designed to repair relationships, improve communication, and build a strong, unified support network for the future.
