My experience was absolutely amazing. I was in the Mustang pod, October 25 (2023) - January 7 (2024). I was previously at a rehab in Minnesota and it was a unanimous decision that I needed more treatment. From the very first day I got there everyone was so welcoming, kind and accepting. I have severe allergies to egg and peanut so that also gives me really bad food anxiety. The nutritionist there was so so helpful and made sure I always had a fulfilling meal, from Breakfast to evening snack to the food I have to eat before breakfast (meds). Since I was in the substance abuse pod, we were able to go off site to NA/AA meetings. That helped me immensely. Kayla and Lisa the counselors for this pod are literally heaven sent. I love them so much and never made anything I talked about feel embarrassing or stupid. All the activities we had throughout the day like Gong, Equine, Music therapy, Tea making, Yoga, Gym, Nutrition, Adventure (S/O J.D), Art, Alumni, MMA (Love Vince, he's awesome.), and others I probably forgot to mention. For school, the teachers I had helped me a lot and made sure I was caught up and beyond where I needed to be in order to pass my sophomore year. (Ayeeee shout out Chris) There was quite a bit of drama, but nothing intolerable. The only thing I really disliked was how immature some of the staff was, making some people in my house (Dove) feel invalidated etc. That obviously isn't something that changed how my entire experience was but i was also one of those people they didn't 'like' for a little bit. I think they need to be more mindful when choosing who to hire. When we just have chill time in between activities, the CC's were so fun and easy to talk to. They all had such a huge impact on my stay. And the cooks!!! Holy crap. They kept me feeling included 3x a day every single day. When we had continental breakfast, they would make me egg free muffins, or the French toast bake egg free. And when it was something I just didn't like, I was able to eat a Sun butter and Jelly, Pasta, or cereal. I never went to bed or woke up hungry, unlike my other experience elsewhere. Overall it was such an eye opening experience and forever changed my life for the better. Also they did an amazing job administrating my Vivitrol injection monthly. One of the CC'S would go in there with me and hold my hand and talk to me. I'm sober to this day, (2 years coming up!!) Reading these reviews makes me upset, because in these programs you have to want to get better. You have to try and if you don't you're going to have a bad experience. It sucks at first, I would literally cry every week before, during, and after family therapy, but it's not because the therapist is bad. These 1 star reviews are solely personal. It has nothing to do with the staff. They're simply doing their job and making sure you are putting in the work to get better. Its not supposed to be fun. But if you put the hard stuff aside and focus on petting the horses, or making your tea bags when it's that time, you will find it to be tolerable. A good attitude = good outcomes. ANYWAYS if an actual human is reading this tell everyone I said sup

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.

I had really high hopes as a parent of FINALLY getting the help my child needed. 90 days of having her 4 hours from home. I was not even able to call her. We sacrificed and did what was recommended in hopes it would help. I was misled as to what the recommendations would be for her upon discharge. It took MULTIPLE emails and phone calls and lots of frustration to finally get her discharge summary, to then not have it be at all what was discussed. Since she’s been home, she hasn’t been any better. She just picked up new behaviors in treatment. Newport was a waste of time and the transition staff needs better training.

After three years of searching for the right support for my daughter; I can confidently say that the treatment team at Newport Academy is the best we've ever worked with. The staff’s dedication, expertise, and genuine care have made all the difference (especially Cheyenne, Jenna, Amanda, and Travis). The therapists, psychiatrists, and support staff worked seamlessly together, creating a holistic and individualized treatment plan that addressed my daughter’s unique needs; after a short time I truly felt like they knew and understood her. They fostered an environment of trust and understanding, allowing her to openly engage in her healing process for the first time. It didn’t happen over night, but when it did, it was beautiful to see. Their emphasis on family involvement, the therapeutic environment, and the diverse range of supportive activities all contributed to my daughter's growth (she loved the equine therapy and the adventures with (Cece). Today, my relationship with my daughter is stronger than ever. Our support community is much stronger, and she actively participates in peer support through Newport’s Alumni app, which has been incredibly beneficial. To a family considering Newport Academy, I wholeheartedly recommend it and advise that you fully engage in the process. Advocate for your baby, trust the clinical team, lean into the family therapy sessions, and embrace the available resources. It's a journey that requires commitment from everyone, but the rewards are immeasurable. It was by far one of the most challenging decisions I’ve ever made, especially as a BiPOC parent, but I would 1000% do it again. I will be eternally grateful to the amazing people we’ve met there.

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 owner

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 owner
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!

Response from the owner
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We’re thrilled to hear about your son’s progress and that our team was able to provide the support he needed. It’s heartwarming to know he made amazing strides!

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 owner
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 owner
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.
