Newport County CMHC Inc at 65 Valley Road is now part of Newport Mental Health’s integrated care system. The location no longer serves as the organization’s main outpatient office. Instead, it houses a primary care center operated in partnership with CODAC and supports adults already enrolled in Newport Mental Health services, particularly people living with serious mental illness, serious substance use disorders, or complex co-occurring health conditions.

Integrated Primary and Behavioral Health Care

The 65 Valley Road site provides primary care by appointment for Newport Mental Health clients. The purpose is to bring medical services closer to people who may have difficulty accessing or coordinating care through a traditional medical office. Primary care staff work with behavioral health teams so physical health, psychiatric symptoms, substance use, and medication needs can be considered together.

This approach is especially valuable for adults with chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, respiratory illness, or mobility concerns. Serious mental illness and substance use can make it harder to manage appointments, prescriptions, laboratory testing, and preventive care. Integrated teams help reduce those gaps.

Integrated Health Home Services

The location supports Newport Mental Health’s Integrated Health Home program. IHH serves adults with co-occurring mental health, substance use, and physical health conditions. The team may include a nurse care manager, case manager, peer support specialist, community psychiatric support professional, and other clinicians.

Services can include care coordination, medication support, appointment planning, health education, social support, and connection with housing or benefits. The team helps clients understand treatment recommendations and communicate with hospitals, specialists, pharmacies, and other providers. Recovery planning considers both behavioral and physical health rather than treating each issue in isolation.

Assertive Community Treatment

Newport Mental Health also identifies Assertive Community Treatment services at 65 Valley Road. ACT is an intensive team-based program for adults with serious mental illness who need substantial support with daily living. The team may include a psychiatrist, nurse, therapist, case manager, peer specialist, employment specialist, and substance use specialist.

ACT services are often delivered in the community as well as in the office. Staff help clients work toward stable housing, employment, medication adherence, crisis prevention, and greater independence. Substance use concerns can be addressed as part of the same treatment plan.

Substance Use Support and Referrals

Although this site is not a stand-alone detoxification or residential addiction center, Newport Mental Health clients can receive integrated support for substance use conditions. The organization offers outpatient therapy, intensive outpatient treatment, Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment, medication management, peer support, and referral to additional services when needed.
