Arthur J. Ting, M.D. Rehabilitation Center

the staff there were very nice, and the various therapies they offered helped me a lot

Newport Academy is truly life changing! I went to the adolescent program in CA for the full 3 months, and I only really have positive feedback. My assigned therapist was amazing (took some getting used to, though.), and towards the end of my stay, I had a kind and gentle counselor. The CCs were attentive and validating. They helped me when I was struggling and I can't wait to be able to talk to them again.
The school program is difficult for me to comment on, as I didn't participate much in it, but I heard from others that it was great, too!
The food was healthy and filling, just a little bland. However, the CCs offered seasoning, so that's an easy fix!
Newport Academy is very structured. They had fun and engaging activities every day such as equine, art, yoga, music, dance, adventure therapy, crossfit, etc., and a structured therapist-led group almost every weekday.
At the house I was at, we were given free time at snack time, and free time at night.
After your 72hr time is up, you are allowed to call anyone on your calling list at scheduled times and for a certain amount of time that varies from house to house.
There is a reward system for good behavior and coping skills. You can stage up. There are 5 stages- Orientation (72hr when you're first admitted), stage 1, stage 2, stage 3, and community leader. You get more privileges and freedom the more you stage up. (I think rewards vary from house to house, but the idea is there.)

I went to Newport Academy due to crippling depression, anxiety, trauma, and SI. I would numbly watch tv every day because the thought of doing just about anything gave me unbearable and inexplainable anxiety that would send me into a downward spiral. It was only then that my parents and therapist decided I needed more help.
I've been home from Newport for about a year, and they truly saved me. I went home with a kinder, more understanding home due to the weekly family therapy. I went home with coping skills that were healthy and reasonable. I would 100% recommend to anyone considering this for themself or their child. Thank you Newport Academy! :)

2 years ago today I had left Newport after being there for 101 days. It was definitely the hardest thing I have ever done but also the most rewarding. I went into newport after going to 4 hospitals and 3 other php programs throughout 2020, and Newport was my last resort. A few downsides are the food (the patients aren’t allowed to have any sugar… i think we should be able to have a treat or something once in a while) and the phone calls which are only 10 minutes long for family and 5 minutes for friends. Other than that the staff is amazing at least at Maoli, especially the CC’s. So many people changed my life there and I will never forget them.Newport is definitely not for everyone and it can be very hard. But in the end it worked out for me and I am now healthy and happy :)

My son wasted 6 weeks on physical therapy with a wrong diagnosis at a different place. Dr. Ting diagnosed him within 3 minutes, and confirmed the diagnosis with X-ray and MRI. My son was back on the volleyball court within 4 weeks and is now doing PT sessions to correct the form that led to the injury in the first place.
