Newport Academy’s residential treatment centers in Southern California offer specialized, evidence-based care for teens struggling with anxiety, depression, OCD, substance use, and other mental health concerns. Located in peaceful areas of Orange and Los Angeles Counties, these teen treatment programs provide a healing environment with a focus on individualized therapy, family support, and academic continuity.
With teen mental health challenges on the rise—15% of California teens reporting major depressive episodes and 13% in Los Angeles considering suicide—Newport Academy fills a critical gap in access to care. Many families searching for “teen therapy in SoCal”, “residential treatment for teens in California”, or “mental health facilities for adolescents” face limited options. Newport Academy meets this need with high-quality, comprehensive treatment.
Each teen receives a personalized plan that includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR, and Attachment-Based Family Therapy. Family therapy and parent support groups are integrated into care, fostering lasting recovery through stronger communication and connection.
Programs also include experiential therapies such as yoga, music therapy, art, and outdoor Adventure Therapy in Southern California’s parks and beaches. A robust academic curriculum ensures teens stay on track with school while receiving treatment.

When our daughter first entered Newport Academy, she was struggling significantly with her mental health and attempted suicide in June 2024. We were deeply concerned and felt at a loss for how to help her as a result of not having firm boundaries within our family.

Newport saved my childs life. I was so nervous while doing my research prior to applying. My child had already been in short term stay facilities 4 times in one year and there were many traumatic experiences in those other places which was what made me nervous. But speaking to doctors and therapists that had heard good things about Newport and then talking with the staff at Newport, I felt comfortable seeking their help for my child. The staff went above and beyond in caring for my child. They were kind and very professional and truly took the time to help her. I adored our family therapist and found this part of the program to be one of the most influential and positive parts. Being able to sit down with us and talk with everyone and really dig deep into issues made a world of difference in our family. My child was able to stay until she was ready, through all the therapies and learning activities, rather than being sent home without having learned any coping skills like the other places she went. My child has been back home doing amazing for the last 2.5 years and they still check in with us regularly in case anything changes. I have never felt more supported, like they are my village that it sometimes takes to raise a child. Forever grateful, forever blessed. Thank you Newport!!!

I have nothing but good things to say about Newport. They helped my daughter tremendously. She went in wanting to self-harm (she had previously) and thought of and talked about ending her life. She also had a general disinterest in growing up and facing life after high school. Newport was able to help her transition off of the meds she was on (which it's felt was the main cause of her feelings) and onto meds that have helped her get back on track with life. I was able to talk to my daughter twice a day and contact staff anytime I felt the need to check on her wellbeing. I even was given personal therapy sessions to help me be a better parent. When I felt she was ready to come home, there was no hesitation from the psychologist to agree with me and she came home just days later. She was well taken care of and given more than adequate accommodations during her stay. At no point did I feel I made a mistake taking her there. And if the need arises for her to return to Newport, I will not hesitate to send her again.
We were terrified to let our 12 yr old trans son stay at a treatment center for so many reasons. But our kid needed a tremendous amount of help after he was in the hospital. We are so grateful for The Arrow House!! I think given the circumstances and where he is now, it is the best possible outcome. Our Son was there for a little over 2 months and is doing SO well now!! After The Arrow House He went to Newport Academy for 2.5 months part time outpatient and it was a great transition for him! We are currently in therapy once a week with The Help group. - they are great too. They have a therapist, psychiatrist, and parent advocate I meet with once a week. It’s been 5 months since he stayed there. Our kid was getting straight A’s there for a while! We have a family meeting every week on Sundays to discuss as how things are going and implement rules or change things. This is really helpful because we have two households. We are so grateful for the Team at The Arrow House. There’s no way we could have gotten here without them!! I feel like we have our kid back! I joined the PTA and am more involved in school, and I help with the bake sales. I’m trying to get our kid involved too - lol Of course there have been hard days- but it’s so much better than before!! 😍😍🥹
