Substance Use

Recovery Is Possible

Recovery builds on your strengths, experiences, and goals. Our substance use programs are designed to provide meaningful support while honoring your independence, resilience, and ability to grow. Services are community-based and flexible, allowing individuals to remain engaged in daily life while receiving the care that best supports their recovery journey.

Programs

Outpatient Therapy

Outpatient Therapy offers flexible, strengths-focused treatment for individuals seeking ongoing support for substance use and co-occurring mental health needs. This level of care recognizes each person’s capacity for growth and change while providing therapeutic guidance that fits within their daily lives.

Treatment emphasizes building on existing strengths, developing effective coping strategies, and strengthening natural supports to promote long-term recovery and wellness.

Services may include:

Individual Therapy centered on personal strengths and goals
Medication Management to support overall health and functioning
Case Management to help individuals access resources and supports
Care Coordination with medical and behavioral health providers
Peer and community support connections that reinforce recovery

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Newport Mental Health’s Hope Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) supports individuals in building on their existing strengths while addressing substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns. The program uses evidence-based and harm-reduction approaches to provide structured support, skill development, and therapeutic engagement, while allowing participants to maintain independence and daily responsibilities.

IOP can serve as an entry point into care, a step up from traditional outpatient services, or a transition from higher levels of care such as inpatient, residential, or partial hospitalization programs.

Services may include:

Individual Counseling focused on personal goals and strengths
Peer Support that fosters connection and shared learning
Group Therapy that builds skills and mutual encouragement
Medication Management to support wellness and stability
Case Management to help navigate resources and supports

Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment (IDDT)

Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment (IDDT) is a strengths-based, evidence-informed approach that supports individuals living with co-occurring mental health and substance use challenges. Treatment is collaborative, person-centered, and responsive to each individual’s stage of change, values, and cultural identity.

IDDT emphasizes shared decision-making and long-term skill building, allowing individuals to define their own recovery goals while receiving integrated mental health and substance use services from a consistent, multidisciplinary team.

Services may include:

Individual Counseling that supports recovery and personal growth
Group Therapy that reinforces skills and peer connection
Medication Management tailored to individual needs
Case Management that supports stability and independence
Continuing Care Management to sustain progress over time

Additional Support and Services

Clients in our programs receive additional support, care, and services as needed.

Adult Primary Care Services

Newport Mental Health coordinates with CODAC to provide primary care services to our clients with serious mental illness and/or serious substance use disorders. The primary care center is located at 65 Valley Road in Middletown.

Zero Suicide

Our healthcare providers are specially trained in administering an evidence-based screening tool, the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale, at each contact with those we serve. Newport Mental Health providers initiate a Pathway to Safety for those individuals identified as at-risk, who are then given specialized suicide prevention treatment services and are closely monitored until their risk subsides. Ongoing follow-up is provided to reduce the reoccurrence of suicide risk.

Telehealth

Appointments with a clinician or prescriber can be arranged via telehealth. Private telehealth consultation rooms are available in our offices for those clients who do not have internet access or a computer.

Supportive Employment

Work and other meaningful activities are an integral part of recovery. Employment specialists use an evidence-based employment model called Individual Placement Services and Supports (IPS) to help clients find employment and then provide support both for the client and the employer.

Supportive Housing

Residential support staff assist our clients who live independently. Skills training is provided for budgeting and money management, household chores, shopping, cooking, and other areas needed to be successful in independent living.

Shelter Plus Care/Supportive Housing Program

This federally supported program allows Newport Mental Health to provide rental assistance for the unhoused with serious mental illness.

Housing Stabilization Services

A Medicaid-funded housing support service allows us to provide at-risk clients housing stabilization to prevent the loss of existing housing or to provide help finding affordable housing in the community. We coordinate with housing support staff at the Newport Housing Authority, McKinney Shelter/50 Washington Square Apartments, and senior housing developments in Newport County.

Representative Payee Service

Rep-Payee is offered to those clients who experience problems in managing their money. Newport Mental Health staff work closely with clients receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) in establishing and maintaining a budget.
