If you are sending your child here ask LOTS of questions and confirm everything with everyone at the actual location. If academics are important, they over promise and under produce. My daughter is a honors student and spent her one and only day coloring during academic time. We were told there was 20-30 hours of academic time; then once she was there we were told the program had recently changed and it was 2 hours - 4 days a week with an hour of free time she could use for studies. No schoolwork is allowed until they coordinate with the school which they refused to do prior to admissions. There were kids there that had been waiting for 2+ weeks and still had not started, so they were coloring. My daughter wasn’t allowed to read her school assigned book as it was not approved yet. We were told they could accommodate her taking her SATs offsite, but then told no that wasn’t possible. We were told that bringing your own bedding was encouraged yet upon admission she wasn’t allowed any of the bedding we had brought. They told us all about the yoga “class” so I had arranged for that to work as her PE credit at her school but again upon admissions was told something different- no more yoga. We had bought plane tickets and booked a hotel room to visit over Thanksgiving, as we were told there would be visits allowed, yet once again the story changed. First I was told no visit on Thanksgiving and it wasn’t until I decided to check her out that I was told there would have been no visitation. So we would have showed up, after spending $3000, to find out it was a “no”. I was told that there would be options for her food as she is gluten free. She asked for a gluten free snack and was told the kitchen staff wasn’t aware she was gluten free. After picking her up she told me she need to take her medicine (mental health medicine) and I asked why she didn’t take it that morning. She said they told her that it wasn’t in the list and they would have to give it to her in the evening, to which she responded she couldn’t take it at night or else she could not sleep. This was unacceptable! She did say the girls in her “pod” were very sweet and the staff was nice and some of the girls said it was helpful and it seemed as if they had made friends. Multiple times I was given the excuse that things are different in each facility but I reminded them that she was always going to one location so there was no way there could have been any confusion about what was or wasn’t offered. When you are putting your child in the care of someone else and you are repeatedly misled or misinformed, it is very hard to believe anything and there is no trust. If academics are important, this is not the place for your child. They talk a good game and if my child was in danger of hurting herself, I would not care about school but I had stressed the importance of her schooling and asked LOTS of questions only to be misled. The admissions person was in CA and, in hindsight, it’s obvious she knew little about the Bethlehem location. This may be a great program for some kids but make sure you get correct information!

Newport was such a helpful and worth it choice for my recovery. I was provided with great care no matter the time of day or night. My family therapist moe, helped my parent and I start to grow a relationship I never thought id have. My CC's were amazing people! Its really hard to go into residential knowing you wont be home for a long time, but all of my staff made it so much easier and fun. It makes a big difference when your staff and treatment team can have fun and want to be there with all of you so thank you guys for that! The food i will say i struggled with. It wasn't the best tasting or most diverse menu but some days it was pretty good. All of the teachers at Newport are amazing. They make learning fun and relaxed while also still encouraging you to get your work done. I was scared to go to residential but Newport was such a great experience for me and has helped me through things I thought I couldn't even ever live with. I would definitely recommend Newport to any adolescent or family looking to find healthy and helpful treatment with mental health.

Genuinely a great experience. I received a lot of the help I’ve needed for years. The family therapy was very helpful with Gloria in creating a better communication system between me and my parents so far. The food was good when Ben made it, but it wasn’t the most balanced. Overall, the living space and treatment team was great and I hope you decide to send your adolescent here.

Accepted Insurance

Please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Newport Academy – Bethlehem works with several private insurance providers, 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

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 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 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).

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.

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 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 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.

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.

ive offically been home for 3 months after a 3 month stay at newport in connecticut. im using a burner account to write this just in case. anyways, here are the issues i am now facing since leaving newport. 1. i have an extreme fear of loud noises/people 2. cant trust any doctors, they may be lying 3. i feel guilty for going to the bathroom without permission 4. i hide things that dont need to be hidden in my room (chapstick, pencils, etc) 5. trouble talking about my feelings because im scared of being judged 6. fear of ever asking my parents for help (they might send me back) 7. more substance issues than i went in with this is NOT a place of healing it is a place of hurt. if you truly loved your children you would NEVER rip them away from their home and ship them off to go live with a bunch of psychotic strangers for 30-90 days.
