Newport Academy Southern California

Newport Academy’s Southern California locations strive to treat teens as a whole–mind, body, and spirit. Newport Academy treats addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders, also involving family for wide-spread recovery. Founders Jim Monroe and Jamison Monroe Jr., a father and son duo, created Newport Academy to help those struggling with the same issues they as a family struggled with in the past. Their vision has expanded to locations all across the U.S.
Patients begin treatment with an assessment to properly gauge their needs and treatment requirements. From there, a personalized care team that includes counselors, nurses, a psychiatrist, and dietician continues to meet the needs of each teen. Newport Academy uses attachment-based family therapy (ABFT) to help rebuild familial relationships. Individual and group therapy connect patients to themselves and their peers, building a support network that Newport also extends to families.
Newport Academy creates individualized treatment plans that include equine therapy, music and art, yoga, meditation, adventure therapy, and a host of evidence-based therapies. Horticulture therapy encourages teens to be outside and apply their skills to work in Newport’s gardens. They additionally provide outpatient programming and day schools for those who may need more flexibility. Their locations in Southern California keep teens close to nature, enhancing their care experience and privacy.
Newport Academy keeps teens on track with their school, offering tutoring and individualized schooling programs. On-site teachers incorporate academic progress with therapeutic care, giving teens a safe space to learn and heal. Newport Academy in SoCal is accredited by The Joint Commission and covered by most private insurance providers.
