About Center for Families West Chester

Center for Families, a program within the Newport Healthcare family, offers individual care and education to adolescents ages 13-18 and their families. They treat mental health, behavioral, and substance misuse challenges. Through a continuum of therapy that includes a therapeutic day program (PHP), intensive outpatient program (IOP), and outpatient care, they guide teens and families into long-lasting healing.

Family Involvement

Family involvement is a key component of Center for Families. Their mission is to restore trust and communications with their loved one. A stand out feature of the program includes a peer-facilitation program led by parents with first-hand experience with the challenges of both substance use and mental health. Here, families can learn about these challenges through a parent’s view and gain the extra tools they need to support their loved one during healing.

Personalized And Empowering Treatment

Diagnostic assessments help guide the unique treatment of each teen. The accredited and professional staff at Centers for Families help ensure each aspect of patients’ needs is met, and in a healing and empowering way. Holistic therapies work alongside clinical and evidence-based care to give well-rounded treatment. Teens can learn more about responsibility and caretaking through on-site tasks and peer activities.

Academic Support

For adolescents ages 13-18, treatment begins with guided support through individual therapy, art and music therapy, and focus groups. Their PHP program combines with their therapeutic day school, which pairs one-on-one counseling with specialized tutors so teens can stay on track with academics. Treatment also includes experiential outings like zip lining, visiting a farm, hiking, biking, and more. Centers for Families’ IOP program allows teenagers to continue in traditional school and receive continuous care within a caring community. IOP offers greater structure and support, with teens staying on site during the day for 5 days a week.
