Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Parents and guardians can visit their teens at Montville Adolescent Center during designated hours on Sundays.
We recognize the importance of family connection during treatment, which is why we’ve established a structured visitation process that supports our clients’ recovery journey.
To ensure a therapeutic environment, we require all visitors to be at least 18 years old and receive prior approval from our clinical staff.
Additionally, family members must attend a Family Support Session before visiting their teen. This requirement helps create a supportive atmosphere and ensures everyone understands their role in the recovery process.
We maintain these protocols to protect our clients’ well-being while fostering meaningful family connections, as family involvement is a significant component of successful long-term recovery outcomes.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family support is a cornerstone of our teen treatment program at Montville Adolescent Center. We recognize that addiction affects the entire family, which is why we’ve developed extensive support services for parents, siblings, and guardians throughout their teen’s recovery journey.
Our family support program includes weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops about substance use disorders, and regular progress updates from our clinical team. During these sessions, we work with families to address communication challenges, establish healthy boundaries, and develop strategies for supporting their teen’s recovery at home.
Additionally, we offer a Family Support Group where parents and guardians can connect with others facing similar challenges, share experiences, and learn valuable coping skills. Our goal is to equip families with the tools and knowledge they need to foster lasting recovery and healing.
What educational coordination is offered?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we work closely with each teen’s home school district to guarantee educational continuity throughout treatment. Our program includes two hours of dedicated academic instruction daily, making sure students don’t fall behind while receiving care.
We’ve established partnerships with local schools to maintain curriculum alignment and secure attendance credits that transfer back to the student’s home institution.

Will my teenager have their own room?
Room arrangements at Montville Adolescent Center include both private and semi-private options for our teen residents. We recognize that comfortable living spaces play an essential role in the recovery process, which is why we’ve designed our accommodations to promote both healing and security.
In our gender-specific housing floors, we carefully consider room assignments based on several factors, including therapeutic compatibility, age appropriateness, and individual treatment needs.
While private rooms are available, many of our clients benefit from sharing semi-private accommodations, which can help develop social skills and peer support during treatment.
Our staff maintains constant supervision and guarantees that all living spaces remain safe, structured environments where teens can focus on their recovery journey without unnecessary distractions or concerns about their personal space and belongings.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medication management forms a key part of our extensive treatment approach at Montville Adolescent Center.
Before making any changes to your teen’s medications or prescribing new ones, we’ll thoroughly discuss the options with you, the parent or guardian. We recognize the importance of maintaining clear communication about your child’s treatment plan.
If your teen currently works with a psychiatrist or primary care provider, we’ll need you to sign our Release of Information (ROI) form, which allows us to coordinate effectively with their existing medical team.
This collaboration guarantees we can verify previous treatments and communicate any medication adjustments that occur during their stay with us.
Our integrated approach helps create a seamless change for post-treatment care, maintaining consistency in your teen’s medication management plan.

We don’t allow personal electronic devices, including cell phones, to minimize distractions and encourage meaningful interpersonal connections.
Additionally, all communication with individuals outside the facility must be approved by our clinical team, and we’ve strict policies regarding contraband items to maintain everyone’s safety and well-being.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Sending your teenager to an out-of-state treatment facility offers several key advantages. At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences often enhances recovery success, while also providing a fresh environment for personal growth and reflection.
Additionally, out-of-state treatment can minimize disruptions from peers who might interfere with the recovery process, allowing your teen to focus entirely on their healing journey.
We’ve observed that this geographical separation typically strengthens family dynamics, as structured visitation and therapy sessions become more meaningful and intentional.
For families within driving distance of our New Jersey location, we’re close enough to maintain regular involvement while still providing the benefits of a separate therapeutic space where your teen can develop new, healthy patterns.

Next, we’ll work with you to verify your insurance benefits and discuss payment options, providing a clear understanding of coverage and any potential out-of-pocket expenses.
Finally, we’ll schedule your teen’s intake appointment at a time that works best for your family.
Throughout this process, our dedicated counselors will guide you, answering any questions and addressing concerns you may have about our treatment programs, facility amenities, or daily schedules.
