Our thorough anxiety treatment integrates individual therapy sessions, where we work one-on-one with teens to identify anxiety triggers and establish healthy coping mechanisms, with group therapy that allows them to share experiences and learn from peers.
We’ve found that our creative arts therapy program provides an additional outlet for anxiety expression, while our structured daily routine, including medical check-ins and academic support, helps reduce uncertainty-related stress.
Through family therapy sessions, we’re also able to help parents understand their teen’s anxiety and develop supportive home environments.

Depression treatment at Montville Adolescent Center combines three core therapeutic approaches: medication management, evidence-based psychotherapy, and holistic wellness practices. Our psychiatrists carefully evaluate each teen’s needs, prescribing appropriate medications when necessary while closely monitoring their response and adjusting treatment plans accordingly.
We integrate multiple evidence-based therapies, including CBT and DBT, to help teens identify negative thought patterns and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Through our creative arts program and structured physical activities, we’re addressing depression from every angle, helping teens express themselves and boost their natural mood regulators.
Additionally, our 1:1 staff-to-client ratio guarantees we can quickly recognize depressive symptoms and provide immediate support, while our family therapy sessions help create a strong support network for sustained recovery.

Our Levels of Care for Teen Substance Use Recovery in New Jersey
At Montville Adolescent Center, we provide three extensive levels of care to support teens through every stage of their recovery journey. This includes medically-supervised detox, also known as a teen drug detox, residential inpatient treatment, and flexible virtual options.
Our dedicated medical and clinical teams work closely with each adolescent to determine the most appropriate level of care, considering factors such as substance use severity, mental health needs, and family circumstances.
We’re committed to delivering evidence-based treatment that meets teens exactly where they are, whether they need 24/7 medical supervision during detox, the structure of our teen residential treatment, or the flexibility of virtual teen rehab.
Additionally, we focus on comprehensive teen substance use disorder treatment to ensure a holistic approach to recovery.
Adolescent Drug Detox
The initial phase of teen addiction recovery often requires a medically supervised detoxification process, where our experienced staff provides round-the-clock care to guarantee a safe withdrawal from substances.
Our medical team carefully monitors essential signs, manages withdrawal symptoms, and administers appropriate medications when necessary to secure your teen’s comfort and safety throughout the detox journey.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we recognize that adolescent detox requires specialized attention, which is why we maintain a 1:1 staff-to-client ratio during this critical period.
We’re equipped to handle detoxification from various substances, including alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, and stimulants, while providing thorough medical and emotional support that addresses both the physical and psychological aspects of withdrawal.
Teen Residential Inpatient Treatment
Residential inpatient treatment serves as our most intensive level of care, providing teens with extensive 24/7 support in a structured therapeutic environment.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we offer comprehensive care that includes medical monitoring, individual therapy, group sessions, and educational support, all while maintaining a personalized 1:1 staff-to-client ratio.
Our treatment approach integrates evidence-based therapies, including CBT and DBT, with creative arts therapy and family counseling to address the complex needs of adolescents struggling with substance use disorders.
We’ve designed our program to guarantee academic continuity through partnerships with local schools, while our structured daily schedule incorporates medical check-ins, therapeutic activities, and recreational time.
Throughout their stay, teens receive chef-prepared meals and access to fitness facilities, all within our safe, gender-specific housing arrangement.
Virtual Adolescent Treatment
While our residential program offers intensive on-site care, we recognize that some teens need flexible treatment options that fit their daily routines. Our virtual adolescent treatment program delivers thorough support through secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platforms, allowing teens to receive expert care from home while maintaining their daily responsibilities.
Through our virtual program, we provide many of the same evidence-based therapies offered in our residential setting, including individual counseling, group therapy sessions, and family therapy.
Our licensed clinicians use CBT and DBT techniques to help teens develop essential coping skills, while our structured approach guarantees consistent engagement and progress tracking.
We’ve designed this program to be particularly effective for teens who’ve completed residential treatment and need ongoing support, or for those whose substance use challenges don’t require intensive residential care.
Adolescent Substance Use & Mental Health Treatment Therapies
At Montville Adolescent Center, we deliver several evidence-based therapies that address both substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions.
Our extensive treatment approach integrates individual therapy, family therapy, and specialized group sessions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), to help teens develop essential coping mechanisms.

Each therapeutic component is carefully designed to support our teens’ journey toward lasting recovery and emotional well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that families have many questions about our teen rehabilitation program, including concerns about insurance coverage, family visits, educational continuity, and room arrangements during treatment.
Our experienced admissions team works closely with insurance providers to maximize coverage benefits, while our robust family support program includes regular visitation hours, family therapy sessions, and ongoing communication about your teen’s progress.
Through our personalized approach, we provide private and semi-private room options, maintain strong partnerships with local schools for academic continuity, and offer extensive support services to guarantee both teens and their families receive the care and guidance needed throughout the recovery journey.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers treatment costs in full or partially, thanks to significant healthcare regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
These laws guarantee that insurance providers must cover essential health benefits, including mental health and substance use disorder treatment, as part of their standard coverage plans.
We accept most major insurance plans and can help verify your specific benefits to determine coverage levels for our teen treatment programs.
Our admissions team will work directly with your insurance provider to maximize your benefits and explain any out-of-pocket expenses you might incur.
If you don’t have insurance coverage, we’ll discuss alternative payment options to help make treatment accessible for your teen, as we believe financial concerns shouldn’t prevent access to crucial care.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
After addressing insurance coverage, many parents want to know about staying connected with their teen during treatment.
We recognize the importance of maintaining family bonds during this vital time, which is why we’ve established structured visitation protocols at our Montville Adolescent Center.
Family visits take place every Sunday during designated hours, and we welcome parents, guardians, and family members who are 18 or older.
To guarantee your teen’s safety and therapeutic progress, all visitors must receive prior approval from our clinical staff.
Additionally, we require family members to participate in a Family Support Session before visitation privileges begin.
This requirement helps create a supportive environment that aligns with your teen’s treatment goals while fostering healthy family dynamics throughout the recovery process.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family support plays a central role in our all-inclusive treatment approach at Montville Adolescent Center. Through our all-encompassing family program, we provide regular family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and ongoing support to help parents and guardians understand their teen’s recovery journey.
We’ve structured our family support services to include weekly family therapy sessions, where families can address underlying issues and develop healthier communication patterns.
Additionally, we offer psychoeducational groups that help family members learn about addiction, mental health, and effective coping strategies. Our clinical team maintains consistent communication with families through progress updates, while also providing resources and guidance for creating a supportive home environment.
During Sunday visitation hours, families can participate in our Family Support Sessions, which strengthen the foundation for lasting recovery.
What educational coordination is offered?
Academic progress remains a top priority at Montville Adolescent Center while teens work on their recovery. We partner directly with each client’s home school district to guarantee continuity of education and maintain academic credits during treatment. Our program includes two structured hours of daily academics, carefully integrated with therapeutic activities.
We’ve developed an extensive educational coordination system that includes regular communication with teachers, guidance counselors, and school administrators to align our curriculum with each student’s academic requirements.
Our staff works diligently to help teens stay on track with their studies, providing individualized support and necessary accommodations while they focus on healing. We’ll coordinate makeup work, testing arrangements, and any special educational needs to guarantee a smooth shift back to regular schooling after treatment.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Living arrangements at Montville Adolescent Center include both private and semi-private rooms, giving teens options based on availability and clinical recommendations.
We’ve designed our accommodations to provide a comfortable, therapeutic environment where adolescents can focus on their recovery journey while maintaining appropriate levels of privacy and social interaction. Our gender-specific housing floors guarantee that all residents feel secure and at ease during their stay.
In semi-private rooms, we carefully consider roommate assignments based on multiple factors, including age, therapeutic needs, and interpersonal dynamics.
When private rooms are available, they’re typically allocated according to specific clinical considerations or individual circumstances that may benefit from additional privacy.
Both room types are thoughtfully furnished to create a calm, healing atmosphere that supports our residents’ treatment goals.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medical care at our facility includes careful oversight of all medications prescribed to teens in our program. Before making any changes to existing medications or prescribing new ones, our medical team carefully consults with parents or guardians to guarantee informed decision-making and proper documentation of consent.
We work closely with your teen’s current healthcare providers, which is why we request that you sign our Release of Information (ROI) form. This documentation allows us to communicate effectively with your child’s psychiatrist or primary care physician to verify previous treatments and discuss any medication adjustments.
This collaborative approach guarantees continuity of care during treatment and helps us develop an effective post-treatment medication plan that supports your teen’s ongoing recovery and well-being.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Our facility’s structured environment maintains clear behavioral expectations and rules that all teens must follow during their treatment stay.
We’ve established these guidelines to guarantee safety, promote recovery, and create a respectful therapeutic community where everyone can focus on healing. Our rules include maintaining appropriate boundaries with peers, following the daily schedule, participating in all therapeutic activities, and respecting the facility’s physical spaces.
Additionally, we require teens to refrain from using phones or personal electronic devices, which allows them to fully engage in their treatment journey without outside distractions.
While these rules may seem strict, we’ve found they’re essential for creating the stable, supportive environment needed for successful recovery and personal growth.
Parents can rest assured that these guidelines help maintain order while fostering their teen’s progress through treatment.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Choosing out-of-state treatment for your teenager can offer several distinct advantages. At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance often creates a necessary break from negative peer influences and familiar triggers, allowing teens to focus entirely on their recovery journey.
The change in environment can also provide a fresh perspective and renewed motivation for change.
We’ve observed that our out-of-state clients often experience deeper engagement in their treatment process, as they’re removed from the daily stressors and distractions of their home environment.
Additionally, our location’s proximity to major metropolitan areas, including Manhattan and Philadelphia, makes it accessible while maintaining enough distance to create that essential therapeutic separation.
Our structured program guarantees your teen receives thorough care while working through their challenges in a neutral, supportive setting.
How do I get started?
When you’re ready to seek treatment for your teenager, getting started at Montville Adolescent Center is straightforward and efficient. The process begins with a simple phone call to our admissions team, where 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.
After completing the initial assessment, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and discuss any financial considerations. If you don’t have insurance coverage, we’ll investigate alternative payment options to make treatment accessible.
Once these preliminary steps are complete, we’ll work with you to arrange an intake appointment that fits your schedule. Throughout this process, our experienced staff will guide you through each step, guaranteeing a smooth shift into our thorough treatment program.
