We were looking for treatment for our autistic teenager. We wanted a program that was both knowledgeable and experienced in care for adolescents on the spectrum with high levels of anxiety and depression. We met with the director and two therapists to tour the facility and discuss her treatment. They spoke of extensive experience in accommodating children like our daughter. We left feeling confident and optimistic. The first day was spent providing a tour, orientation and conducting a risk assessment, which is not part of a treatment plan, but a liability requirement for Newport. Our daughter, though considered high-functioning without intellectual disability) has processing and expressive/receptive language disabilities related to being autistic. Newport told us that our daughter "refused to comply" with safety planning while they did not accommodate her disability by establishing trust/rapport or explaining things explicitly and concretely. Our daughter felt confused about what she was being asked to do. When we picked her up at the end of the day, she was nonverbal. It took a few hours of decompression time for her to tell us she will not go back to Newport. She told us about how she dug her fingernails into her arm all day to mask her panic attacks and that no one noticed, how she was sitting in a group therapy session and the facilitator stared at her expecting responses, not noticing she was frozen, and how the rooms were too crowded and too bright for her sensory needs. Her disability-related need for accommodations was not met despite advance notice to and reassurance from the staff. There were some additional concerns around communication and collaboration. We disenrolled our daughter, then were told we would not be billed for the one day since no actual treatment occurred. Two months later, we received a bill for more than $1,000 for one day of "treatment". Newport claims to operate with the mission of caring for the whole child. This was not our experience, which was very disappointing after feeling so hopeful. read more
