I stayed for not even a month and got kicked out because I raged after a girl (another resident) stared at me while putting in a tampon and ate out the other girl in my room while i was trying to sleep. I got hit by a staff member during my stay. We were supposed to have a bonfire my last dsy but then she told the whole pod i ruined it and we couldnt do it after i got mad she hit me. I had been through all the pods becaue they didnt know how to deal with my issues they put me in the drug pod, alcoholic pod, and eating disorder pod where they watched me go to the bathroom when i have none of the above issues. I Was able to go AWOL 4 times. And one of the times climbed a 15ft tree after running through thorns in the rain. Staff is terrible there.

I went here and I haven t been the same since I remember every little thing that happened how traumatizing it was to be there not able to see my sisters, my dogs or my safe place. I was not alone for even a minute unless I was in the bathroom and if I just ate a meal before, and now I have to go to the bathroom, they would have the door open, There was no peace. There was nothing comforting there maybe a few workers helped but nothing will get rid of the trauma I have from this place every time i see a black suburban i think of newport, Every Time im in the car and the song water by tyla comes on or the song Strangers By kenya grace all i think about is how i missed my sisters birthday, how i wasn t allowed to speak to my parents for more then 5 minutes each because they are divorced if they aren t you get five to talk to both of them at the same time. or how i d beg them to pick me up and they d ask why am i miserable there to the workers and they d say i am just manipulating them and i wanna go home. if you send you re kid after reading this, you simply don t deserve kids.

I had an amazing experience at Newport ct . I was at double hill the residential for two months . Through out my time I made a lot of progress. I have to thank the cc s that were there while I was! I felt like I was impacted the most with the conversations I have with care coordinators, and also fellow clients . I learned many coupling skills and experienced full support for the first time in my life . While my stay at Newport was great there were ups and downs. Healing comes in waves. Or as they say at Newport healing is not linear!

Accepted Insurance

Newport Academy – Bethlehem works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements. Linden Oaks' Residential Stay Program offers additional support for those who may benefit from a structured living environment. A patient's stay may vary from a few days to 30 days ago. The program includes group, family and individual counseling.
outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient programs are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs. The Intensive Outpatient Program gives patients the chance to participate in a structured treatment plan part-time while they transition back to home and work or other responsibilities. This program provides half-day treatment (Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 9:15 am to 12:30 pm).
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
At times during the addiction treatment process, medical professionals must provide 24-hour clinical care in Connecticut. The processes are medically supervised due to the potential dangers of withdrawal symptoms. Staff often prescribe medications to manage these symptoms and curb cravings.
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers short-term intensive rehab for those who don't require 24-hour care. PHP treatment can serve as an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or a step-down option after being released from a hospital or residential program. A partial hospitalization program can provide medication management, relapse prevention strategies, and behavioral therapy interventions. With daily sessions lasting up to 8 hours for up to 5 days a week, the duration can vary with the average being 90 days.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Individual therapy uses evidence based treatment modalities to focus on building a strong therapeutic alliance between yourself and your therapist. This crucial relationship fosters trust that enables you to discuss your struggles and work together to develop effective strategies to overcome addiction.

Family therapy sessions work to strengthen the family unit by addressing addiction related conflicts and fostering support between family members. Your therapist guides family members in developing effective communication strategies and creating an environment that aids in your loved one's recovery.

Group therapy offers insight into behavioral patterns and triggers. This can lead to a better understanding of your addictive behaviors, which in turn promotes sobriety and sustainable recovery. You can share your experiences and strategies you use to overcome triggers and learn new strategies from your peers.

According to cognitive behavioral therapy in Connecticut, individuals can change their behaviors by changing their thoughts. Applied to substance use disorder, this can be an effective treatment method to help patients transform their thoughts and lives.

Clients participating in dialectical behavior therapy in Connecticut can expect to attend weekly skills focused group meetings as well as one on one sessions with the therapist. Individual sessions usually last one hour, and groups, made up of four to 10 people, last 1.5 to 2 hours. The focus is to help clients accept situations, recognize emotions, and acknowledge the need for change.

The goal of experiential therapy is to help you release negative thoughts and emotions and learn healthy coping strategies. This is accomplished through expressive activities such as animal care, music, art, culinary arts, or drama.

equine-therapy iconEquine Therapy

Trauma therapy offers you a safe space to process a traumatic experience as therapists use trauma informed care. Your therapist works to support your understanding of your emotional and physical responses to the trauma while developing healthier coping skills. This helps to foster a sense of empowerment that leads to recovery.

As much as I did not want too go here, it really did help me when it came to points of view and perspectives. It’s always going to be hard the first week or so. But once you accept the fact you are there and try to learn and just heal you’ll come to see that Newport academy is not a punishment. It is a great place as a learning opportunity and to heal from things you have not tried to heal from yet.

Response from the ownerInvalid relative date format:
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We appreciate your honesty and are glad to hear that Newport Academy helped you gain new perspectives and insights. It’s wonderful to know that you found it to be a valuable learning opportunity and a supportive environment for healing. Your journey is important, and we wish you continued growth and success!

Newport helped me rebuild my confidence and shape it into what it is today. I was lost and didn’t know where to go or what to do. Newport showed me that it’s okay to not know sometimes. That it’s okay to lean on others for help. Since discharging from my last newport program I have always been big on doing what makes me happy, what keeps me occupied. Acting has inspired me heavily and I’m doing everything I can to get to my goal, using everything I’ve learned and overcame with newport

Response from the ownerInvalid relative date format:
Thank you for sharing your inspiring journey with us! We’re thrilled to hear that Newport helped you rebuild your confidence and find your path. It’s wonderful to know that you’re pursuing your passion for acting and using the skills you gained during your time here to achieve your goals. We wish you all the best on your continued journey!

My son was at Newport for about 2 months. It took him several weeks to settle in and become at ease to share and work through his issues, but he made amazing progress. We had tried several different types of therapy and each one had failed until we went to Newport. We have nothing but good things to say about the entire team. Every person was kind, knowledgeable and experienced and were always available if we wanted to know how he was doing. My son came home a different child…for the better!

Newport was honestly the one place where i was sober for at least 1 month. The ct location was amazing. the cc's cuch as Rodney and shay. Molly and Steve did so much for me and made it seem like my second home. I would honestly come back here just to relax. I was sober for a month there and it was great being without a phone. Would highly recommend it and it made me feel normal jus waking up with a scheduled routine. I really really really loved it.

Response from the ownerInvalid relative date format:
Michael, we’re so glad to hear that your time at Newport helped you find stability and structure. Your words about feeling at home mean a lot to us—and we’re thrilled you had such a positive experience with your care team. Wishing you all the best on your continued journey.

My son had a 2 month stay here. It was pretty good and he made a lot of progress. The clinical staff and parent support was great.Their admin however, was a bit of a mess, and their social worker, Brooke, well, stay clear of her. She was supposed to arrange aftercare. She didn't, and became hostile when her errors were noted. Brooke refused to follow up or listen to us after we did our own research. As a result, he left Newport with no plan and this hurt his recovery process, at least in the short term.

Response from the ownerInvalid relative date format:
Thank you for this feedback. We are so pleased to hear of your son's progress and your kind comments about our clinical staff and parent support. We would like to learn more about your other comments, which are understandably concerning, and ask that you please contact us directly at myexperience@newportacademy.com. We look forward to hearing from you.

We had to send my daughter to Newport after it was recommended by an acute place that she needed residential and longer treatment than acute care. I didn’t have the best impression when I first contacted them. I was mislead and thought I could pay a certain amount to send her closest to us in the Charlotte location but turned out that was not accurate and had to send her to the Connecticut location. Then reading the Google reviews scared us. That’s why I wanted to share my experience. My daughter was in the dragonfly group. Everyone was truly amazing. Alexa was always in constant communication with us. She was our family therapist and dealt with all our concerns. She was always there for us when we needed her. Her teacher Tea was in constant communication with my daughter’s school and us. My daughter clicked with her personal therapist Amy which helped my daughter a lot. Lisa her room Supervisor was great with dealing with issues. She got sick a few times and was well taken care of. This place never made my daughter feel institutionalized. She enjoyed her MMA and equine therapy. They took them offsite for all Different activities including church. When it snowed they went outside and went sledding and snowball fights. All the assistants and aids were so friendly and caring. My daughter truly loved being at Newport and because of them my daughter is on a good healing path. I felt so comfortable with her being so far away. I would highly recommend this place to someone with a child that needed help.

Response from the ownerInvalid relative date format:
Thank you for sharing your experience. We understand how difficult it can be to navigate treatment decisions, and we’re sorry for any initial confusion. However, we’re so glad to hear that your daughter received the care, support, and connection she needed at Newport. It’s wonderful to know that our team—Alexa, Amy, Lisa, Tea, and all the dedicated staff—helped her feel comfortable and engaged in her healing process. Your kind words mean so much, and we’re honored to have been part of your daughter's journey. Wishing her continued growth and success!

My daughter attended Newport for 35 days. Coming from a parents standpoint I would say Newport was ok. The communication between staff and with parents is not good at all. Trying to get information and updates is like pulling teeth. Some staff seem just there to be there while others really cared about the kids. My daughter has said there were some people she connected very well with while others were not friendly. I do believe the staff who worked with my daughter did really try to help her however some of them seemed to see her as another messed up kid who they needed to help. The two people she connected with were her family therapist and the music teacher. The family therapist who's name was Maddie really connected with her and cared. She was great at showing her compassion and understanding. Sending your child to Newport is helpful to get them started on a good path however they have to want to help themselves. If my daughter had to go to residential care again for any reason I would not send her back to Newport. I would look elsewhere.
