Springfield, MA 01101
The Newport Academy philosophy of care recognizes teen behavioral issues, such as substance abuse, eating disorders, and other co-occurring disorders, as symptoms of underlying mental health challenges, most often trauma, depression, and/or anxiety. In order for teens and families to achieve long-term, sustainable healing, treatment must address these root causes through integrated, comprehensive care that involves the entire family in the healing process. Our solutions-driven, outcomes-based approach is founded in compassion, expertise, and unconditional love. We nurture every aspect of a teen’s well-being, addressing their physical, psychological, social, educational, and spiritual needs so they can thrive when they return home and as they take the next steps toward young adulthood. Our mission to empower teens and restore families. To that end, we track a number of different treatment goals and commission rigorous third-party evaluations of our programming. Data on our outcomes shows consistent positive results in measures of well-being, depression, and anxiety, with patients’ improvements, on average, exceeding levels of clinical significance during and after treatment.

Equine Therapy Treatment Centers
Equine-assisted therapy in Springfield can be used to treat depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and addiction. Therapy with horses helps people to achieve emotional growth and learning. At a residential equine therapy treatment center Springfield programs are a collaborative effort between a licensed clinical therapist and a certified equine-assisted therapy counselor.

Springfield Equine-assisted therapy for addiction is an effective form of non-traditional addiction treatment. Horses are incredibly intuitive and allow individuals to let their guard down and reduce stress. Reactions to the animal and the animal's reaction to them helps to highlight the behaviors, feelings, and relationships that have caused pain and fed an addiction.

Equine Assisted Therapy is also a unique and effective method for assisting in the treatment of eating disorders. While generally used in the beginning or aftercare stage of treatment, those who have eating disorders can build their self-confidence, talk about the underlying causes of their disorder and begin learning the power of changing behaviors. A good equine-assisted therapy program for eating disorders in Springfield can help address the emotional issues that need to be addressed in eating disorder treatment.
