Bhcear has helped me in so many ways. supporting me with navigating legal paperwork, finding the…read moreright dose of meds to help my mental illness, and giving me a safe space to chat and explore my issues as they taught me the skills to cope with them. All the workers there have been very nice and supportive; even the front desk workers remembered my name very fast and were always very helpful. I'm very grateful that I ended up getting treatment there.

I went here back in 2009. And I only went because I asked before I went there if they offered a…read morecertain medication program. The clinician had said yes. So for three months I had to go to this outpatient class and eventually see the psychiatrist. The psychiatrist was extremely strict but fair. He prescribed me what I told him I was already on and he said he'd like to see me lower my dose within 6 months. I did. I walked everyday, got a full time job, with the help of a very nice lady who worked there. But my problem was with how my clinician lied to me and when it came time for me to start this program, They said they didn't do it. I was so mad I just left and never went back. The outpatient clinicians never believed you but they would believe the guy passed out with white powder in his nose that's he's just "tired". I felt sooo betrayed. I will never go back to that place. It's a place where they just wanna bill you and say "good luck ". Don't recommend it at all

As someone who provided mental health treatment myself, I really hate giving such a low review but…read moreI was so disappointed in the lack of appropriate discharge care given to my child. It should not be a full-time job for two parents who have advanced degrees in this field to advocate so hard for the safety of their child. Even with a caseworker from the state involved and advocating for a discharge plan that met adequate safety standards, the Newport treatment team would not communicate clearly with us to facilitate a safe and smooth discharge process. While we can understand that Newport might not be the right fit every child's needs, it is important that their needs are met after discharge, including making sure they have psychiatric follow-up confirmed. The Newport team was more interested in setting a discharge date than working with parents and caseworker to ensure that all plans were in place to ensure that a high risk child would be safe post discharge. This was against everything that was shared with us by the same therapists in parent support groups and we felt absolutely failed by the treatment team in a very stressful time of transition, where extra support was needed.

Overall, I am going to give my experience working with Newport Academy a 1. While there are…read morecertainly staff there that deserve more than 5 stars, the system as a whole is setup to create repeat customers. While this is an effective business practice, it's unacceptable when dealing with an extremely vulnerable population. The research is proven that 90 days of sobriety is needed for effective treatment. Parents considering Newport Academy need to understand that they are currently pushing 45 day programs with a check-in after 21 days. My son first went to Newport from February to April of this year. At that time, there wasn't a check-in until he met the 30 day mark. That's when the team met to decide on how much longer my son would need. They were on board with extending his stay and listened to our concerns. Unfortunately, about a week before he was going to leave, my son was witness to a violent and bloody assault on a client by a staff member. This tainted his entire experience there and they were never able to get the boys back on track. This did not surprise me based on the minimal efforts the operational manager, Mareta, gave to the incident. All we received from her was an email days later that was lackluster to say the least. She never once thought to contact the parents directly. For the remainder of the stay, my son was angry, scared and looking for retribution which made complete sense to me. We decided to end his stay as I could see he was not going to get back on track and they gave us the impression that they wanted any clients directly involved in the incident to go home. My son came home and maintained his sobriety, but eventually relapsed. The painful decision was made to send him back for treatment. In spite of the violent incident, I reached back out to Newport Academy and was told he had aged out of their program. This was due to his recent graduation and turning 18 the following week. We tried another treatment facility that actually makes Newport Academy look like a 5 star treatment facility. While panicking about his safety at the new treatment facility, another staff member from Newport reached out to me. They heard my concerns and made a continuous effort to help which was greatly appreciated at the time. I was told I had been given misinformation and my son could return to Newport. Knowing my son's struggles with anxiety, I knew that returning to a place he already knew with (most) staff being people he was comfortable with was going to be best option. He and I both held reservations as he did experience a traumatic event there and would need to deal with that at the same time. He spent about 30 days there and was not willing to fully engage with the program. Most of the time, he was trying to rile staff and clients up and Newport did not have the capability of managing this. When I would point this out, Mareta's responses were supportive of the efforts of staff with the implication that my son was the only issue. To wrap up, if you decide to go this route, there are a number of amazing staff members who will be of great benefit to your child. But you will need to ensure that you are ready to enact a solid 45 day plan for when your child comes home. Most of us are not well-versed in this enough to even know how to effectively create such a plan. Yes, they do have an aftercare coordinator who will make the effort on your child's behalf. But they are not personally experienced with the follow-up treatment options available in your particular state. My son ended up in a PHP that he attended virtually due to the distance away from home. This allowed me to hear and see what was being provided and it was a waste of time. We pulled him in less than 2 weeks. My final word on Newport Academy: Nothing changes if nothing changes. It's time for you to let Mareta go and find a more effective operational manager. Put the effort into recommitting to a 90-day program. Note: I am a veteran school teacher (24 years), a mandated 51A reporter and an addict myself in recovery for the last 4 and a half years.
