Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Out-of-state treatment options can provide several key advantages for teens struggling with addiction. When teens receive treatment away from their local environment, they’re removed from negative influences, familiar triggers, and potentially harmful social connections that may have contributed to their substance use.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, located just 45 minutes from Manhattan, we’ve found that geographic distance often creates a fresh perspective and stronger focus on recovery. Our serene New Jersey setting offers teens from Hillsborough Township and beyond the opportunity to heal without daily reminders of past challenges.
Additionally, out-of-state treatment can reduce the likelihood of leaving treatment early, as the physical distance helps maintain commitment to the recovery process, while our 1:1 staff-to-client ratio guarantees your teen receives the individualized attention they need.
How do I get started?
Getting started with teen addiction treatment is straightforward at Montville Adolescent Center. When you reach out to our admissions team, one of our dedicated counselors will conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment over the phone to guarantee we’re the right fit for your teenager’s needs.

Once the financial aspects are addressed, we’ll work with you to arrange a convenient intake time that works best for your family’s schedule.
Throughout this process, our compassionate team will guide you through each step, answering questions and addressing concerns to guarantee a smooth changeover into our program, where your teen will receive the specialized care they need.
