Teen rehabilitation center Newport Academy revealed its intensive family program this week, emphasizing parent and sibling involvement in adolescent recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. The multi-pronged, holistic program seeks involvement of family members in individualized, nuclear and group environments, incorporating family members into various stages of addiction recovery for teens 12 to 17.
Family members of teenage patients participate in the comprehensive diagnostic process at Newport Academy through interviews conducted by the center’s Family Assessment stage of therapy. Clinical therapists develop customized treatment plans for each teen patient. Family-specific plans for recovery are forged and revised throughout the teen’s drug and alcohol rehabilitation, in order to address changing needs, detailed goals and individual progress. Parents and siblings can also participate in Newport Academy’s other family offerings, including personalized weekly family therapy sessions and a comprehensive Saturday Family Program on weekends.
“We involve the nuclear family in the addiction healing process, from the point of diagnosis through the joy of graduation,” explained Jamison Monroe, founder of Newport Academy. “Studies have repeatedly shown that incorporation of family members into the treatment process garners positive results for patients, maximizing an individual’s potential for lasting sobriety.”
In addition to family counseling sessions, Newport Academy involves family members through its Parent Intensive Program. Parents receive an entire day of therapy with the center’s clinical treatment staff in a dedicated environment for mothers, fathers and guardians. The Parent Intensive Program aims to heal emotional and psychological wounds that result from parenting addicted teens while providing indispensible insight and context for parents with children in recovery.
Other family-oriented therapies offered at Newport Academy include educational meetings, multi-family process groups in which multiple families can participate in group sessions, and Al-Anon meetings made available to family members of drug-addicted or alcoholic teens. Prior to graduation, families engage in the recovery center’s 72-hour Family Intensive Program for a weekend of dedicated, tailored treatment with professional therapists.
