All visitors must be family members or legal guardians who are at least 18 years old, and they’ll need to receive approval from our clinical staff before participating in visits.
To ensure a positive experience for everyone involved, we require visitors to attend a Family Support Session before their first visit.
This requirement helps create a supportive environment that aligns with your teen’s treatment goals and provides families with valuable insights into the recovery process.
Our staff will work with you to coordinate these sessions and answer any questions about the visitation process.

During family visits, we expect teens to continue following these behavioral expectations, which helps reinforce the therapeutic structure that’s essential for their recovery journey.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Distance from familiar environments can offer significant therapeutic advantages for teens seeking addiction treatment. When adolescents receive care away from their usual surroundings, they’re removed from triggers, negative peer influences, and established patterns that may have contributed to their substance use.
We’ve found that this physical separation creates an opportunity for genuine reflection and transformation. Out-of-state treatment also provides teens with a fresh start in a neutral environment, where they can focus solely on their recovery without the distractions of local social dynamics or past associations.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve seen how this geographic distance often strengthens family relationships through structured, intentional communication during therapy sessions, while our academic partnership program guarantees educational continuity regardless of a client’s home state.
How do I get started?
Taking the first step toward teen addiction treatment can feel overwhelming, but we’ve made the process straightforward and accessible. Our admission process begins with a simple phone call to our dedicated admissions team, who’ll guide you through a brief 10-minute pre-assessment to confirm we’re the right fit for your teenager’s needs.
Once we’ve completed the initial assessment, we’ll work directly with your insurance provider to verify benefits and discuss any financial considerations.
After confirming these details, we’ll schedule an intake appointment at our Montville Adolescent Center, where our clinical team will conduct a thorough evaluation and develop a personalized treatment plan.
Throughout this process, our experienced staff remains available to answer questions and address concerns, guaranteeing you and your teen feel supported as you begin this important journey toward recovery.
