Treatment Centers in Santa Cruz, CA

At Newport Academy, our comprehensive approach supports young people ages 12 and up to address the root causes of self-destructive behaviors, not just the symptoms. From a foundation of compassionate care, clinical expertise, and unconditional love, we guide teens and their families to achieve long-term, sustainable healing by treating the underlying trauma and attachment wounds that catalyze depression, anxiety, substance abuse, eating disorders, and other co-occurring disorders. Incorporating clinical, experiential, and holistic modalities, our gender-specific treatment is family-focused and results-oriented. We nurture teens’ physical, psychological, social, educational, and spiritual needs. Our mission is to empower teens and restore families by supporting them to build the self-understanding, connection, self-acceptance, and academic and life skills that allow them to find their place in the world.

Insurance covers up to 100 percent of the treatment and therapeutic modalities that Newport Institute offers. We accept all major insurance providers and work collaboratively with payers to optimize coverage for families. Many young adults who receive treatment from Newport Institute using insurance coverage do so through a Single Case Agreement, a special contract through which out-of-network providers can work with a family’s insurance company on an In-Network basis. Newport Institute maintains a full-time, in-house team dedicated to supporting families through the mental health insurance coverage and financing process. In order to secure sufficient insurance coverage, we will most likely need to conduct a series of clinical reviews and any requested doctor-to-doctor calls with the insurance company. While other facilities may charge for this service, we feel it is our responsibility to assist families with what can be a complex process. Our goal is to ensure that families receive the maximum coverage, so they can access the highest-quality treatment.
