Amend Portshead House

*CLOSED* Amend Portshead House provides upscale residential care that redefines treatment through deep clinical expertise and a personalized approach—within a broader continuum of care that includes a virtual intensive outpatient program. They support adults of all ages and genders facing complex trauma, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and co-occurring substance use. Set in an elegant home with private suites, gourmet dining, and holistic wellness, Amend provides an immersive path to lasting well-being and meaningful change.
Amend blends evidence-based and alternative therapies to meet each client’s needs in the areas of emotional, physical, family, social, and spiritual health. Clients benefit from relaxation techniques like massage and meditation to innovative approaches like ketamine-assisted therapy and deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (Deep TMS). Amend also integrates somatic and experiential therapies for clients who struggle to tune into their body and mind. Highly qualified practitioners facilitate art therapy, sound healing, music therapy, equine therapy, dance movement therapy, and personal training.
Amend’s team of seasoned professionals includes a psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist, nurse, nutritionist, fitness coach, acupuncturist, and support staff who come together to treat the often unseen and intangible causes of addiction and mental health difficulties. Each client has 3 dedicated clinicians on their care team and receives 5 individual therapy sessions per week and a weekly psychiatry consultation.
Amend Portshead House feels like home, yet free of distractions so clients can concentrate on themselves. Each bedroom opens to a private patio or veranda, ideal for journaling or simply enjoying the fresh morning air and warm afternoon sun. The shared spaces—including the family room, living room, dining areas, and kitchen—all offer views of the surrounding yard and the ocean. An in-house chef prepares nutritious meals, and personal trainers support fitness goals.
Amend’s aftercare coordinator works closely with each client and their clinical team to craft a bespoke aftercare plan. A curated list of options tailored to the client’s needs empowers them to continue practicing the new behaviors, skills, and ways of being learned during treatment.
