Why Newport Mental Health
Expertise you can trust - We were the first federally Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) in Rhode Island and offer the highest standard of care.
Access to care - We accept most insurance plans and offer sliding scale fees that ensure access to care regardless of one's ability to pay.
Care centered on you - Our evidenced-based, recovery-oriented approach respects and acknowledges your unique journey with a treatment plan tailored for you.
Meeting People Where They Are
Did you know that 1 in 3 people struggle with their mental health or substance use?
We provide high-quality, evidence-based, person-centered care. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to people in Newport, Middletown, Portsmouth, Tiverton, Little Compton, and Jamestown.
Making Life-Enhancing Care Possible
Because we are a nonprofit and offer sliding-scale fees, more than 67% of the cost of Newport Mental Health’s vital, life-saving care is dependent on donations from generous individuals like you, the community-minded businesses who sponsor our events, and the extraordinary organizations that provide grant funding.
Newport Mental Health is a 501c3 charitable, nonprofit organization that helps you, your loved ones, and your neighbors live happier, healthier, more productive lives, regardless of the ability to pay.
