Founded in 1999, Newport Integrated Behavioral Healthcare, Inc. (NIBH) was established with a simple but powerful mission: to provide compassionate, high-quality, evidence-based behavioral healthcare services to individuals and families affected by mental illness and substance use disorders. Recognizing the growing need for accessible, integrated care, NIBH was created to bridge the gap between mental health treatment, addiction recovery, psychiatric care, and community support. Over the past 25 years, Newport has grown from a small behavioral healthcare provider into one of Georgia's trusted organizations delivering a comprehensive continuum of care. Throughout our history, we have remained committed to treating the whole person by addressing not only behavioral health conditions but also the medical, emotional, social, and environmental factors that influence recovery and long-term wellness.
Today, Newport Integrated Behavioral Healthcare provides a wide range of services, including psychiatric evaluations, medication management, Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD), residential and ambulatory withdrawal management, outpatient counseling, intensive outpatient treatment, peer recovery support, SMART Recovery, telehealth, and case management. Our programs are designed to meet individuals wherever they are in their recovery journey while promoting dignity, hope, and lasting healing. Our commitment to excellence has earned us Joint Commission Accreditation and licensure by the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD). These recognitions reflect our dedication to maintaining the highest standards of clinical quality, patient safety, regulatory compliance, and continuous quality improvement.
As the behavioral health landscape has evolved, Newport has continued to expand its services and community partnerships to meet emerging needs. We have worked closely with hospitals, emergency departments, primary care providers, public health agencies, criminal justice partners, schools, faith-based organizations, recovery residences, employers, and community organizations to improve access to treatment and reduce barriers to care throughout metropolitan Atlanta and surrounding communities. In 2026, Newport further strengthened its mission by establishing Newport Mercy Center, Inc., a nonprofit affiliate created to expand charitable behavioral health services, recovery support programs, workforce development, community outreach, prevention initiatives, and federally funded projects. Together, Newport Mercy Center and Newport Integrated Behavioral Healthcare provide an integrated system of care that combines nonprofit community engagement with an experienced licensed clinical infrastructure, allowing us to better serve underserved populations and respond to the growing behavioral health needs across Georgia.
Today, Newport continues to build on more than two decades of experience by embracing innovation, evidence-based practices, and collaborative partnerships. Our mission remains unchanged—to improve lives, strengthen families, and build healthier communities by providing compassionate, person-centered behavioral healthcare that empowers individuals to achieve recovery, resilience, and long-term wellness. For more than 25 years, Newport has been guided by one unwavering belief: every person deserves hope, healing, and the opportunity to build a healthier future.
