If you are wondering if Newport is a good and safe place for you or your loved one to seek help. My…read moreanswer is "yes". My 18 year old son first stayed with an adolescent program in Connecticut for about 90 days and then with an OCD specialized adolescent program in San Diego for about 60 days in 2024. Both stays helped him and us, his parents, enormously. There is no overnight fix for certain issues. Ours fell into that category. However, throughout my son's two stays, Newport therapists and the entire teams were extremely patient, professional and helpful, and it let my son gradually open up his mind. Without this process, I don't think my husband and I would ever have understood him in the way we do today. We would have still been so worried, frustrated, and often angry. Newport provided the help my husband and I needed too. They made us realize that we were not supporting him in the way he desperately needed. Without any accusation, they made us realize that what we have done in the past has hurt him beyond our imagination. It was painful to face it. At the same time, it was the positive turning point of his recovery when we faced it, owned it, and apologized for it. Everyone's journey is unique. In our family, it was not only my son, but we, his parents, also needed someone who could help us understand what was going on with us. My son later said that he was lucky we found Newport and was able to say that he was sorry that we, his parents, had also struggled a lot. He was able to bond with Newport staff members as well as some of his peers that he missed greatly after he returned home. I know there are some scary comments about residential programs online that make us anxious. Newport programs have top tire professionals and facilities. If you are struggling and wanting a positive change, this is the place you can reach out for help and let you or your loved one focus on recovery.
