Teens & Adolescent Residential Treatment Centers in Yelm, WA

At The Center we help people face and overcome a variety of mental health and neuropsychological challenges. Our diverse staff of psychological experts work with each client to understand their strengths and weaknesses, and then develop a strategy to reach their goals. Our treatment approach begins with the individual but also integrates family and community where appropriate.

At Acera Health, we work with our clients to create personalized treatment plans that are based on their individual strengths. We believe that no two clients are alike, and as such, the ingredients to overcome mental health challenges are not going to be the same for each client. Our model is to work with our clients hand-in-hand to identify their strengths and create a sustainable plan that will work for them both during and after their time at Acera Health. We prioritize our clients' well-being and Immersion into sustainable modalities is key to our success. When our clients have completed our program, they continue on their journey of wellness armed with the tools they need for success.

Newport Academy’s philosophy of care is mental health primary: We address the underlying trauma and attachment wounds that catalyze mental health conditions and co-occurring disorders, including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, substance abuse, self-harm, and eating disorders. Our integrated, evidence-based approach guides teens and their families to achieve long-term, sustainable healing. We remove the stigma around mental health treatment and substance abuse issues and provide compassionate care that leads to self-awareness, confidence, and self-esteem. Based in clinical expertise and compassionate care, our whole-person treatment model takes into account the physical, psychological, social, educational, and spiritual needs of adolescents. We support young people ages 12 and up in building authentic connection with self; restoring harmony in the family system; and developing supportive relationships with peers. Our mission is to empower teens and restore families.

At Newport Academy, we address the root causes of self-destructive behaviors, not just the symptoms.

Incorporating clinical, experiential, and holistic modalities, our gender-specific treatment is family focused and results oriented. From a foundation of compassionate care, clinical expertise, and unconditional love, we nurture teens’ physical, psychological, social, educational, and spiritual needs. Driven by our mission to empower teens and restore families, our comprehensive approach supports young people ages 12 and up in building the self-understanding, connection, self-acceptance, and academic and life skills that allow them to find their place in the world.

Rather than an afterthought, as it is in many treatment programs, Newport Academy’s educational program is an essential aspect of our clinical model. Our educational program is fully accredited and provides enhanced tutoring within a therapeutic environment, with individualized educational plans. When teens return to their home school after completing treatment with us, they bring with them concrete study and organizational skills along with enhanced engagement. Our specialized curriculum is designed to close proficiency gaps and help students grow their strengths, while building executive functioning, time management, and motivation. Newport’s educational program also offers credit recovery options for students who have failed classes or missed pertinent instruction as a result of their mental health. We ensure that students stay on track with their education and their college and career goals while receiving the compassionate and comprehensive treatment they need to achieve long-term healing.
