Through our family-centered approach, we maintain open communication with parents, coordinate medication management with existing providers, and guarantee teens receive the structured support they need while maintaining connections to both family and academics.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers all or part of your teen’s addiction treatment costs, thanks to federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
The ACA requires insurance providers to cover essential health benefits, including mental health and substance use disorder treatment, guaranteeing your teen can access the care they need.

Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Many parents wonder about staying connected with their teen during treatment at Montville Adolescent Center.
We recognize the importance of maintaining family bonds during recovery, which is why we’ve established structured visitation opportunities every Sunday during designated hours.
Our visitation policy allows family members and guardians who are at least 18 years old to spend time with their teen, provided they’ve received prior approval from our clinical staff.
Before visiting, we require all visitors to attend a Family Support Session, which helps create a more meaningful and therapeutically beneficial interaction.
This requirement ensures that family visits align with your teen’s treatment goals and contribute positively to their recovery journey, while our clinical team carefully monitors these interactions to maintain a supportive healing environment.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family support is thoroughly integrated into our teen rehabilitation program through multiple channels. We provide regular family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and support groups designed to help parents and siblings understand addiction, recovery, and their role in the healing process.
Our clinical team maintains consistent communication with families through scheduled updates and progress reports.
Additionally, we offer specialized training sessions where family members learn effective communication strategies, boundary-setting techniques, and coping mechanisms to support their teen’s recovery journey.
Through our Family Support Sessions, which are required before visitation, we guarantee that families are equipped with the tools and knowledge needed to create a supportive home environment.
We also connect families with community resources and ongoing support networks for continued guidance after their teen completes treatment.
What educational coordination is offered?
Our thorough educational coordination guarantees students maintain academic progress during treatment. We partner directly with each teen’s home school district to ascertain attendance credits and curriculum alignment, while providing two hours of dedicated academic time daily in our structured environment.
During a student’s stay with us, we maintain consistent communication with their teachers and school administrators, facilitating homework assignments and coordinating any necessary tutoring support.
Our academic program includes both traditional coursework and physical education components, creating a well-rounded educational experience that keeps teens on track with their studies.
Through our collaborative approach with local schools, we’ve established effective systems for tracking progress, submitting completed work, and guaranteeing a smooth shift back to regular classes once treatment is completed.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Teens at Montville Adolescent Center have access to both private and semi-private room options.
Our gender-specific housing floors are thoughtfully designed to provide a safe, comfortable environment that supports recovery and personal growth during treatment. Private rooms offer additional space for reflection and quiet study, while our semi-private accommodations encourage positive peer interactions and community building.

Each room, whether private or shared, comes equipped with essential amenities and is regularly monitored by our attentive staff to maintain a structured, supportive environment that promotes healing and recovery while ensuring the safety and comfort of all residents.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medical decisions involving prescriptions at Montville Adolescent Center follow a strict collaborative process between our clinical team and each teen’s family.
Before implementing any medication changes or starting new prescriptions, we’ll discuss all options thoroughly with parents or guardians to guarantee informed decisions about their child’s care.
If your teen currently works with a psychiatrist or primary care provider, we’ll ask you to sign our Release of Information (ROI) form, which allows us to communicate directly with these healthcare professionals.
This coordination is essential for verifying past treatments and guaranteeing seamless communication about any medication adjustments during your teen’s stay.
We’ll also share detailed information about medication plans for post-treatment care, helping to maintain continuity in your child’s treatment journey after they leave our facility.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
A structured environment with clear behavioral guidelines forms the foundation of successful treatment at Montville Adolescent Center. We maintain strict protocols that guarantee our teens’ safety, respect, and progress during their recovery journey, including expectations for appropriate behavior, communication, and participation in all program activities.
Our rules encompass daily schedules, dress code requirements, prohibited items, and guidelines for interactions with staff and peers. We require our teens to attend all scheduled therapy sessions, educational programs, and group activities, while maintaining respectful relationships with staff and fellow residents.
Additionally, we’ve established clear policies regarding personal electronics, outside communication, and visitation to create an environment conducive to healing and growth. Parents can rest assured that these guidelines are consistently enforced to support their teen’s recovery process.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Distance from familiar environments can provide significant therapeutic advantages when seeking treatment for your teenager. When teens receive care away from their usual surroundings, they’re removed from negative influences, triggering situations, and established patterns that may have contributed to their substance use.
We’ve found that this physical separation often creates the mental space necessary for meaningful change and self-reflection.
Additionally, out-of-state treatment can offer specialized programs that mightn’t be available locally, while also providing a fresh start without the stigma that teens might feel in their home community.
At our New Jersey facility, we’ve helped many out-of-state families benefit from our extensive approach, which combines medical care, therapy, and academic support in a structured environment where teens can focus solely on their recovery journey.
How do I get started?
Starting the admission process for your teen is straightforward and begins with a simple phone call to our admissions team.
During this initial contact, one of our dedicated counselors will conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment to confirm we’re the right fit for your child’s specific needs and circumstances.
After completing the pre-assessment, we’ll verify your insurance benefits, if applicable, and discuss payment options that work best for your situation.
Once these preliminary steps are complete, we’ll coordinate with you to arrange a suitable time for your teen’s intake at our Montville Adolescent Center.
We recognize this can be an emotional time, which is why we’ve designed our admission process to be as efficient and stress-free as possible, allowing your teen to begin their journey to recovery without delay.
