When you're in the stressful position of trying to find drug rehab for your child, newport looks amazing. I called and the sales pitch had me and my child excited that we had found the perfect place for her to get the therapy she needs. The process was pretty fast, about a week. Drove 4 hours and said our goodbyes. They are allowed 10 minute phone call a day. First call: the room was dirty, dirty sheets, tampons stuck to the ceiling and shredded all over the room. I called. No one called back. I emailed. No response. Waited 9 hours and called again. Got called back and told the room is clean now. Biohazard concern from a parent takes 9 hours titi respond to? Second phone call: haven't seen the therapist (they claim daily therapy). Haven't gone outside(they claim activities and nature), "it's dirty and smells like ass and shrimp in here." It's 4 girls to a room not 2. The other girls are 13 (versus mine being 17). "These girls are nasty, bragging about sleeping with 17 men, some at the same time, some old men. No one wants to be here. They tell us they have custody now and our parents can't come get us. I'm ok."
Day 5: "I can't take this anymore. I haven't seen a therapist, I haven't been outside, they just make us sit in a room all day doing nothing. This is torture, I'm not even allowed to talk about addiction, this isn't a drug rehab. They don't even have all these activities they claimed, there's no horses, we aren't even allowed to go outside, we have to keep the door open while undressing and 90% of the cc's are men. The other girls said they won't let you take me even if you try, one girls mom has been trying for 5 days. They treat us like we are inmates not clients. This place is nothing like they claimed." Broken, barely able to talk or breath through the crying, I knew my daughter had given it a real chance and they had failed her miserably. She WANTED help. She didn't deserve this. I told her I would drive up and get her. She was convinced they had custody of her and wouldn't let her leave. They told her this. I confronted them about this and the college student intern girl they had in charge said, "well we do have custody, to sign for like activities". BIG DIFFERENCE CHICA! I don't know how many times I tried to get a hold of her "therapist/ point of contact" in that 5 days, but it was enough to paint a really clear picture that "Kari" doesn't have one single ounce of care to give. This was kirkland BTW. Can't wait to get the bill! My insurance isn't going to cover this, because I removed her "against medical advice", which is a joke because they never bothered to get around to doing anything expert, just filling out all their paperwork. I read the reviews and I gave this place a chance. Big mistake. Giving them a chance set us back. There's not many options for under 18. I'm sure I'll be getting a $10k bill from this fake rehab. They straight up lied to me and told me they do substance abuse as well as mental health. I had a dark bad feeling by day 2. It's like the entire vibe changed, like they "got us" and no longer had to put on the happy caring act. I would recommend NOT trusting them. I don't know how they are even getting away with this money scheme. As I was waiting to take my kid out another stressed out looking mom was bringing her kid in! They made sure to seperate us, putting me in a room in the back. I have a feeling this is just what they do: get people to sign and then the truth surfaces and then change the parents $2000 a day, if they figure out it and care about their kid enough to come get them. Otherwise, the kid has to ride out the torture so that insurance will cover it. I watch crime radar, 2 calls to that place in that 5 days, 2 seperate incidents of suicide attempts. I can see why. Works in Newports favor to trick parents and push these kids over the edge. read more
