During the detox process, our medical team provides 24/7 monitoring and support, ensuring your teen’s comfort and safety while managing withdrawal symptoms.
We understand that detox can be particularly challenging for adolescents, which is why we maintain a 1:1 staff-to-client ratio throughout this essential phase.
Our physicians carefully assess each teen’s medical history and substance use patterns to develop individualized detox protocols, incorporating appropriate medications when necessary to ease withdrawal symptoms.
Through our thorough approach, we’re not just addressing the physical aspects of dependency—we’re laying the groundwork for successful long-term recovery through subsequent residential treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that families have many questions about our teen rehab program, including concerns about insurance coverage, visitation policies, and educational support during treatment.
With most insurance plans accepted and regular Sunday visitation hours for approved family members, we make the treatment process accessible while maintaining strong family connections throughout your teen’s recovery journey.
Our extensive program includes academic coordination with your teen’s home school, family therapy sessions, and both private and semi-private room options to guarantee comfort and appropriate peer interaction during their stay.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers all or part of teen addiction treatment costs, thanks to key healthcare laws like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
The ACA mandates that insurance providers cover essential health benefits, including mental health and substance use disorder treatment, while the MHPAEA guarantees equal coverage by preventing insurers from imposing unfair limitations on addiction treatment benefits.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ll work directly with your insurance provider to determine coverage for your teen’s treatment program.
While we accept most major insurance plans, we recommend speaking with our admissions counselors for a detailed benefits verification.
If you don’t have insurance coverage, we can discuss alternative payment options to guarantee your teen receives the care they need.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
While your teen’s treatment program is our top priority, maintaining family connections plays an important role in the recovery process.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve established specific visitation guidelines to support both treatment effectiveness and family involvement.
Designated visiting hours take place on Sundays, when approved family members and guardians who are 18 or older can spend time with their teens.
Before any visits can occur, we require all visitors to receive approval from our clinical staff and participate in a Family Support Session, which helps guarantee that visits contribute positively to your teen’s recovery journey.
This structured approach to visitation allows us to maintain a therapeutic environment while fostering the vital family connections that support long-term success in recovery.
Do you offer support to family members?
Understanding that family involvement is essential for teen recovery success, Montville Adolescent Center offers extensive family support services through multiple channels.
We provide weekly family therapy sessions that help address underlying issues and strengthen family dynamics, while our dedicated family support groups offer valuable opportunities for parents and guardians to connect with others facing similar challenges.
Our thorough family program includes educational workshops on addiction and mental health, where we teach essential coping strategies and communication skills.
Additionally, we maintain regular contact with families through progress updates and treatment planning meetings, ensuring they’re actively involved in their teen’s recovery journey.
Family members also receive access to our resource library, which contains materials on adolescent substance use, mental health, and effective parenting strategies during the recovery process.
What educational coordination is offered?
In accordance with our commitment to academic success, Montville Adolescent Center partners directly with each teen’s home school district to maintain educational continuity during treatment.
We dedicate two hours daily to structured academic pursuits, ensuring our clients stay on track with their studies while focusing on their recovery journey.
Our thorough educational coordination includes working closely with your teen’s teachers to align coursework, facilitate attendance credits, and create a seamless shift back to their regular academic environment.
We’ll coordinate with school counselors and administrators to develop an individualized learning plan that accommodates your child’s treatment schedule while meeting educational requirements.
Through our structured approach to academics, we’re committed to helping teens maintain their scholastic progress, preventing educational gaps that could impact their future success.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Montville Adolescent Center offers both private and semi-private room options for teens in treatment. Our thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize comfort and safety while supporting our therapeutic environment, with gender-specific housing floors that help maintain appropriate boundaries and structure during recovery.
We’ve found that room arrangements can greatly impact a teen’s treatment experience, which is why we take care to make appropriate housing assignments based on individual needs and clinical considerations.
While private rooms may benefit some clients who require additional space for processing and reflection, our semi-private rooms can foster positive peer interactions and help develop essential social skills.
We’ll work with you and your teenager to determine the most suitable room arrangement that aligns with their treatment goals and personal comfort level.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medication management plays an essential role in our thorough treatment approach at Montville Adolescent Center. When prescribing or adjusting any medications, we’ll always discuss changes with parents or guardians first to guarantee complete transparency and understanding of the treatment process.
For teens who already have an established relationship with a psychiatrist or primary care provider, we’ll request that parents sign our Release of Information (ROI) form. This documentation allows us to communicate directly with your child’s healthcare providers, verify previous treatments, and coordinate any medication adjustments during their stay.
Through this collaborative approach, we’re able to guarantee seamless communication about your teen’s medication plan, both during treatment and as we prepare for their shift back to outpatient care.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
While providing compassionate care and support, we maintain clear behavioral expectations for all teens in our program. Each client must follow our structured daily schedule, which includes medical check-ins, academic sessions, therapy appointments, and designated meal times.
We’ve established essential guidelines that include respecting staff and peers, maintaining appropriate boundaries, and participating actively in all program components.
To guarantee everyone’s safety and success, we don’t permit cell phones or unauthorized electronic devices, and we require teens to follow our dress code and personal hygiene standards.
Additionally, all communication with family and friends must occur during designated times and through approved channels. Our clients must also maintain the confidentiality of their peers and engage respectfully in all group activities.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Out-of-state treatment can offer significant advantages for teens struggling with addiction. At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences can create a fresh environment for recovery, allowing teens to focus entirely on their healing journey.
We’ve observed that treatment away from home often helps break destructive patterns and relationships that may have contributed to substance use. Our serene New Jersey location, just 45 minutes from Manhattan, provides an ideal setting for renewal.
Additionally, our experience shows that out-of-state care can reduce the likelihood of leaving treatment early, as the physical distance naturally minimizes impulsive decisions to return home before completing the program. This gives your teen the best chance at lasting recovery.
How do I get started?
Starting the admissions process at Montville Adolescent Center is straightforward and efficient. When you reach out to our admissions team, we’ll connect you with a dedicated counselor who’ll conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment of your teen over the phone to guarantee we’re the right fit for their needs.
After completing the initial assessment, we’ll verify your insurance benefits, if applicable, and discuss any additional payment options that might be necessary.
Once the financial aspects are addressed, we’ll work with you to arrange a convenient intake time that works for your family’s schedule. Throughout this process, our compassionate team will guide you through each step, answer your questions, and guarantee you have all the information needed to begin your teen’s journey toward recovery.
