History[]
Newport Academy was founded in May 2009 by Jamison Monroe, who as a young teenager had been in rehab programs[2] for depression, anxiety,[1] and substance abuse issues. Newport Academy treats mental health issues and addiction.[2] In 2012, Newport Academy received approval from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities.[1] In July and August 2013[7] a judge sent Ethan Couch for teen substance abuse and mental health rehabilitation to Newport Academy, which cost upwards of $450,000 annually at that time.[8][9] Couch's stay was a topic in the press.[10][1] In January 2017, Monroe Operations, which does business as Newport Academy, was reportedly up for sale, with Moelis & Co advising on the auction.[11]
Treatment methods[]
The schools use a number of therapies to treat mental health issues, substance abuse, and eating disorders.[3] Among the forms of treatment are music therapy,[4] nutritional counseling, art therapy, equine therapy, meditation,[5] and cooking therapy.[6] At outpatient facilities there are daily yoga and meditation classes, with other regular treatments such as hiking and climbing.[12]
Programs and facilities[]
Newport Academy has locations in Connecticut and California, and facility types include residential, outpatient, and day school.[3] The residential facilities are separated by gender.[12] Outpatient locations, where teens transition to a home environment, are in Costa Mesa, California and Darien, Connecticut. The outpatient programs use smaller groups ages 13 to 19 for therapy.[12] Newport Academy also operates a sober high school for teenagers going through rehab in New York City.[13]
