The first time I went here it was simply phenomenal everyone got along with each other and everyone wanted to see everyone grow and be a better person. The second time around not so much in my opinion the patients would judge the person more just for playing a game on the phone during break time not during the group session when we have to talk no during break time it's not really the other person business anyways everyone is going for themselves not to be picked on for texting or playing a game on the phone when you have that initial break. When I was sitting in my chair one of the patients got up and pretended to kick me in the shin I never had that issue happen to me anywhere with adults in a professional setting. I was really glad Sam stood up for me and took him out of the room and told his ass where to go because it isn't normal for a patient to go up to another patient and start pretending to kick him or say your so angry and can't control yourself when the other person isn't bothering you IOP should be a place of non judgement because if your going some way that causes you to have more anxiety that's not the place anyone with mental health issues should be. I still remember when I was sitting outside having a panic attack at the table by the bathroom and some old worker walked in front of me not even asking are you ok he just continued to walk back and fourth I was like wow nice place. The only person here that always supported me was Samantha even when pot was legal they wanted to breathalyzer me before going in the place why just why Sam made sure to hold the assholes off my back thank you for that? Even the doctor sees me having a panic attack and she didn't care she just went back into her room. The thing that got me here is when I came back for my second week one of female chaplains looked at me in front of everyone and said o you are back Chris is that really any of your business your business should preach and walk and talk like Jesus not worrying it's someone second time around in group that just made everyone else in the room turn and look at me. I mean it's really sad when your patients are complaining there isn't no snacks and there spoiled snacks from last year and Griffin didn't care nice place there was only one worker that did care and made sure everything was perfect and her name was Sam if your looking to feel better mentally just trust Sam because she is the only worker here that will actually take the time to listen and care not to shove a pill down your throat for a paycheck she most definitely deserves a raise working amongst her other workers it has to be stressful doing everyone else job for them. All and all if you need to talk not all the patients in the room here are assholes the second time around there were a few that were not judgemental she actually seen my panic attack and gave me a hug a man doesn't forget ever what happens she was even nice enough to donate 50 bucks twords me getting another bunny that's a true person right there. Sam always did make me feel safe and secure without her in charge the place and the rest of the staff in charge is a shit show plain and simple. One thing I can say Sam you deserve your own office if I was you have the patients you have now and swap them to a place your running in charge because you care for the patient not what's in there Pocket.

I have never been to a doctor's office where it is so unprofessional. When I 1st went there, it was…read morerun the right way but it has since gone downhill. There are 2 Doctors that were the most unprofessional-Dr Sofia Christakos & Dr Karolina Cichocka. The office gives random urine drug test. I really don't understand how but I had a urine test come back positive for cocaine when I was seeing Karolina. She called me a drug addict. So, I stopped seeing her& saw Phil & Alyssa who were very professional with me. But most of the great professional didn't last long working there. So, when Phil & Alyssa left, I saw Sofia who told me I had another urine test come back positive. I do not do cocaine & asked for a blood test & a hair follicle test which she refused. She insisted that I did do cocaine & all I needed was 1 more positive & I would be put on weekly tests. I had no problem with that. Prior to today's appointment, I received a text to arrive at 9:20 for my 9:40am appointment & I did. I could sense something was up when I arrived. I was given a Urine cup. But I asked to speak to Sofia about that cause I had been having alot of falls the last month due to my Parkinson's. I was still learning how to transfer from wheelchair to toilet to bed ect. So, I was given a tablet to do some mind tests. It was almost 10am & I still wasn't seen by Sofia & the place was empty so I spoke up & asked if I could go in, now. Sofia, in front of the staff stated she will not see me until I did the urine test. I explained I needed to talk to her 1st. My husband wanted to accompany me. The girl in the back office points to him & says that he is behaving hostile & is not allowed in the entire office. My husband wasn't hostile at all. Sofia says to have my husband help me give a urine test. My husband states that the conversation was supposed to be only between me & the doctor. Everyone that worked there was involved or overhearing this conversation that was supposed to be doctor/patient confidentiality. When she finally agrees to hear me out, I went to her office & I closed the door. She, then says I had another test come back positive. I was like, that couldn't be. I swore on my kids & grandkids which I would never do if I was lying!! She refused to refill my scripts & wanted to send in suboxone. I told her I was discharging myself & I threw the urine cup on the chair. I can't be accused of doing something I absolutely know is untrue. I, did offer, again, to do a blood test or even a hair follicle again but Sofia stated I know you did it. I left & started thinking why have me arrive early, do those dumb tests on the tablet & ask me for my ID & insurance info that they already had? As we were waiting for our transportation, the receptionist passed by & I told her Good luck & that she was the nicest of the entire staff...I don't deserve to be treated the way I was by both Karolina & Sofia-totally unprofessional!!!

The adjustment period was challenging at first, but once they settled in, we saw meaningful progress and growth. The staff was supportive, and the program helped our child begin the healing process and develop healthier coping skills.

We are grateful for the care and support they received during their time at Newport Academy.

Horrific. Blatant neglect of physical and mental problems, ill trained staff (smoking weed during…read morenight shifts, leaving scissors around), and the staff frequently talked about clients to other client, sharing personal details and 'shit talking'. Racism in staff and clients is a huge issue and is never properly addressed, multiple incidents occurred including a staff member saying the N slur to other staff and clients multiple times . The boys pod often would yell and scream and bang on the windows when the girls were in school, as well as punching holes in walls. Staff would place clients having panic attacks into the 'sensory room' and leave them there with no help. They did not notice one of the clients had stopped eating until the other clients began bringing it up. Many clients would self harm, starve, purge, not take medication, and plan AWOL attempts in the open and no staff would take notice. Staff will often preach about religion or show videos on their phone, they would share personal details of their life. The therapy, group and individual, is mostly useless. The groups are repetitive and very surface level. Groups would often be replaced with movies.
