How We Address Adolescent Behavioral & Mental Health in Treatment
At Montville Adolescent Center, we recognize that anxiety, depression, trauma, and PTSD frequently accompany substance use disorders in teens. This is why our all-encompassing treatment approach addresses these co-occurring conditions simultaneously.
Through our evidence-based therapeutic interventions, including CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care, we help teens develop effective coping strategies while processing underlying mental health challenges that may fuel their substance use. For instance, our programs specifically target anxiety and depression, ensuring that we treat the whole person, not just addiction symptoms.
We understand that trauma and PTSD are also critical issues that need attention, which is why we incorporate strategies to address trauma and PTSD in our therapeutic framework.
Our commitment extends to providing each teen with specialized care for both their behavioral health needs and substance use concerns within our supportive therapeutic environment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that families have many questions about teen rehab programs, from insurance coverage and visitation policies to educational support and living arrangements.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we accept most insurance plans, offer weekly family visits on Sundays, provide thorough academic coordination with home schools, and maintain both private and semi-private rooms for our residents.
Through our family-centric approach, we make certain parents stay informed and involved throughout their teen’s treatment journey, with regular updates, family therapy sessions, and dedicated support services that help create a strong foundation for lasting recovery.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers most or all costs associated with teen addiction treatment. Thanks to important healthcare legislation like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), insurance providers must include coverage for substance use disorder treatment and mental health services as essential health benefits.
We accept most major insurance plans and work closely with providers to maximize your coverage for teen addiction treatment at Montville Adolescent Center. Our experienced admissions team will verify your benefits and explain your coverage options, helping you understand exactly what portion of treatment costs your insurance will cover.
If you don’t have insurance or need additional financial options, we’ll work with you to investigate alternative payment arrangements, as we believe cost shouldn’t be a barrier to getting your teen the help they need.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
At Montville Adolescent Center, family visitation takes place every Sunday during designated hours.
We recognize the importance of maintaining family connections during your teen’s treatment journey, which is why we’ve established a structured visitation protocol that prioritizes both support and safety.
Visitors must be family members or legal guardians who are at least 18 years old, and all potential visitors need prior approval from our clinical staff.
Before participating in visitation, we require family members to attend one of our Family Support Sessions, where we’ll provide guidance on supporting your teen’s recovery and maintaining healthy boundaries.
This requirement ensures that visits contribute positively to your teen’s treatment progress, while our clinical team carefully monitors these interactions to uphold the therapeutic environment we’ve created for all our residents.
Do you offer support to family members?
Throughout the recovery journey, family involvement plays a vital role in successful teen rehabilitation, which is why Montville Adolescent Center offers extensive family support services.
We provide thorough family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular progress updates to guarantee parents and guardians are actively involved in their teen’s recovery process.
Our family support program includes:
– Weekly family therapy sessions
– Parent education workshops focusing on addiction, mental health, and communication skills
– Regular updates from our clinical team about treatment progress
– Family Support Sessions prior to visitation days
– Resources and tools for establishing healthy family dynamics
Additionally, we’ll work closely with families to develop post-treatment plans, making sure they’re equipped with the necessary skills and understanding to support their teen’s continued recovery after completing our program.
What educational coordination is offered?
Education remains a top priority during treatment at Montville Adolescent Center. We partner directly with each teen’s home school district to guarantee they stay on track academically while receiving treatment.
Our program includes two hours of structured academic time daily, and we actively coordinate with schools to maintain proper attendance credits and curriculum alignment.
We understand the importance of not falling behind in school during treatment, which is why we’ve developed a thorough educational support system. Our staff works closely with school administrators to obtain current assignments and coursework, facilitating seamless integration with the student’s regular academic program.
We’ll also coordinate with teachers and guidance counselors to guarantee a smooth shift back to school once treatment is complete.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Montville Adolescent Center offers both private and semi-private room options for teens in treatment. When making room assignments, we carefully consider each client’s specific needs, therapeutic goals, and clinical recommendations to determine the most appropriate living arrangement that will support their recovery journey.
For teens who may benefit from additional privacy or have particular clinical needs, we can provide private accommodations, while our semi-private rooms offer opportunities for peer support and social development within appropriate boundaries.
Our gender-specific housing floors guarantee comfort and safety, and all rooms are thoughtfully designed to create a healing environment.
We maintain strict supervision protocols and regular room checks, while still respecting our clients’ personal space and dignity throughout their stay in our facility.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medical care at our facility includes carefully managed prescription medications when clinically appropriate.
We guarantee transparent communication with parents and guardians regarding any medication decisions, and we’ll discuss all new prescriptions or changes to existing medications before implementation.
If your teen currently works with a psychiatrist or primary care provider, we’ll need you to complete a Release of Information (ROI) form to facilitate communication with these healthcare professionals during treatment.
This collaborative approach allows us to verify your teen’s treatment history and effectively coordinate medication management throughout their stay.
Additionally, we’ll communicate any medication adjustments or additions to guarantee seamless continuation of care after discharge.
Our medical team prioritizes safe, evidence-based medication management while keeping families informed and involved throughout the treatment process.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Beyond our medical protocols, we maintain clear behavioral guidelines to create a safe, structured environment for all teens in our program. Our rules include mandatory participation in all scheduled activities, maintaining appropriate boundaries with peers, respecting staff directives, and following our structured daily schedule without exception.
We enforce a strict policy against any form of physical aggression, bullying, or inappropriate behavior, while also prohibiting the possession of phones, personal electronics, and outside food or beverages.
Additionally, we require teens to dress appropriately, maintain personal hygiene, and keep their living spaces clean and organized. Through these guidelines, we’re able to foster a therapeutic environment where teens can focus on their recovery journey while developing essential life skills and healthy habits.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
While seeking local treatment may seem like the most convenient option, there can be significant advantages to choosing an out-of-state facility for your teen’s recovery.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance often creates beneficial emotional space, allowing teens to fully focus on their recovery without local triggers or negative peer influences.
Additionally, out-of-state treatment can provide a fresh environment where your teen isn’t concerned about running into people they know, which often leads to more open and honest participation in therapy.
Many families also appreciate that our location, just 45 minutes from Manhattan, offers the perfect balance of accessibility and separation, while our academic partnerships guarantee your teen won’t fall behind in school during their stay with us.
How do I get started?
Starting the admissions process at Montville Adolescent Center involves three simple steps.
First, you’ll speak with one of our dedicated admissions counselors who’ll conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment over the phone to confirm we’re the right fit for your teen’s specific needs.
Next, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and discuss payment options, helping you understand the coverage available for your child’s treatment program.
Finally, once we’ve completed these initial steps, we’ll work with you to schedule an intake appointment that accommodates your family’s schedule.
Throughout this process, our experienced team remains committed to making your teen’s change into treatment as smooth as possible.
We’ll guide you through any necessary paperwork or documentation requirements to guarantee a seamless admission experience.
