Teen Outpatient Care With Stepdown Support
Newport Academy provides partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs for adolescents. Teens attend small, same-age groups and individual sessions while living at home. An in-depth assessment informs a tailored plan, and stepdown options help maintain progress as needs change.
Family Therapy at the Core
Family participation is woven into care. Clinicians use attachment-based family therapy to strengthen communication and repair parent–teen connection, alongside individual and group work so skills practiced in programming can carry over at home.
Academics and Life Skills Built In
Academic curriculum and life skills training run alongside clinical care to support credit progress, organization, and executive functioning. This approach helps teens return to school with clearer routines and practical tools.
Evidence-Based and Experiential Modalities
Care integrates psychiatric evaluation and medication management with evidence-based therapies. Modalities include EMDR and exposure and response prevention for OCD, plus experiential therapies like art, music, yoga, and equine activities, that support regulation, self-expression, and confidence.
Coastal Setting and Outdoor Activities
The Darien outpatient location spans two comfortable floors with dedicated art and music studios and views of Long Island Sound and Dolphin Cove. Seasonal activities at nearby parks and beaches extend therapeutic learning outdoors. The site is convenient to I-95 and the Merritt Parkway for families across Fairfield County and the broader Tri-State area.
