Newport Academy closed its two Pleasanton teen mental health clinics amid state citations for sexual abuse and other violations. The company faced potential legal action and license revocation.

- State investigations substantiated sexual abuse of minors by staff at both facilities. - Citations included Type A (immediate health threats) and Type B violations since 2021.

- The company cited market alignment for closures, but state records show ongoing noncompliance. - Layoffs affected 30 employees at Happy Valley and 16 at a Sunol facility in April 2026.

The closures mark the end of Newport Academy's operations in the Tri-Valley area, with state oversight continuing.
