Substance Use Disorders We Treat at Our New Jersey Teen Treatment Center
At Montville Adolescent Center, we treat six major categories of substance use disorders that commonly affect teenagers. Our extensive treatment programs address dependencies related to alcohol, opioids (including heroin, fentanyl, and prescription painkillers), benzodiazepines (such as Xanax and Klonopin), stimulants (including methamphetamine and cocaine), inhalants, and marijuana.
We’re equipped to provide both detoxification services and residential care for these substances, understanding that each teen’s journey with addiction is unique and requires individualized attention.
Our medical and therapeutic teams work collaboratively to address not only the physical aspects of substance dependency but also the underlying psychological factors that contribute to substance use, ensuring we’re treating both the immediate symptoms and long-term recovery needs of our adolescent clients.

Anxiety Treatment
Three proven therapeutic approaches form the foundation of our anxiety treatment program for adolescents: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and creative arts therapy.
Through CBT, we help teens identify and reshape anxiety-triggering thought patterns, while teaching them practical coping strategies they can use in daily life.
Our DBT sessions focus on developing mindfulness techniques and emotional regulation skills, which are essential for managing anxiety symptoms.
We’ve found that combining these clinical approaches with creative arts therapy provides teens with a powerful outlet for expressing their fears and worries non-verbally.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we integrate these therapies into a structured daily schedule, ensuring that each teen receives personalized attention through our 1:1 staff-to-client ratio.

Our 1:1 staff-to-client ratio guarantees that each teen receives the focused attention they need, while our family therapy sessions create a strong support system for long-term recovery and emotional wellness.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
At Montville Adolescent Center, we recognize parents have many questions about their teen’s treatment journey, including concerns about insurance coverage, visitation policies, and educational continuity during their stay.
We’re pleased to share that most insurance plans cover our treatment programs.
We offer weekly family visits with therapeutic support sessions, and we maintain strong partnerships with local schools to guarantee your teen stays on track academically.
Our facility provides both private and semi-private rooms, and our extensive family support system includes regular updates, workshops, and therapy sessions to keep you actively involved in your child’s recovery process.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers all or part of teen addiction treatment costs through two key regulations: the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
The ACA mandates that insurance providers must include coverage for essential health benefits, which specifically encompasses mental health and substance use disorder (SUD) treatment.
Additionally, the MHPAEA guarantees that insurance companies can’t impose stricter limitations on addiction and mental health benefits compared to medical benefits.
While coverage details vary by plan, we’re here to help you understand your benefits. We accept most major insurance plans, and our admissions team can verify your coverage and explain any out-of-pocket expenses.
If you don’t have insurance, we’ll work with you to investigate alternative payment options that make treatment accessible.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
While managing insurance and payment details is important, many parents are equally concerned about maintaining contact with their teen during treatment.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve established clear visitation policies to support family connections while maintaining our structured therapeutic environment.
Visitation occurs every Sunday during designated hours, and we welcome family members and guardians who are at least 18 years old.
Before any visits can take place, we require all potential visitors to receive approval from our clinical staff and participate in a Family Support Session.
This session helps ensure that visits positively contribute to your teen’s recovery journey.
Our careful approach allows us to maintain the safety and stability of our treatment environment while fostering the vital family connections that support long-term recovery success.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family involvement forms a cornerstone of our teen recovery program at Montville Adolescent Center. We provide extensive support services for families, including regular therapy sessions, educational workshops, and weekly updates on their teen’s progress.
Our family therapy program helps parents and guardians understand addiction, develop effective communication strategies, and build stronger relationships with their teens.
Throughout treatment, we offer structured Family Support Sessions that coincide with Sunday visitation hours, where families can learn about recovery processes, share experiences, and develop essential coping skills.
Additionally, we provide resources and guidance for post-treatment success, including connection to local support groups and ongoing family counseling options.
Our clinical team remains available to address parents’ concerns and questions, ensuring families feel supported throughout their teen’s recovery journey.
What educational coordination is offered?
To maintain academic progress during treatment, our education coordinators work directly with each teen’s home school district to guarantee curriculum alignment and attendance credits.
We’ve structured our program to include two dedicated hours of academics each day, ensuring students don’t fall behind while receiving treatment.
Our educational support includes individualized attention during structured learning periods, where we focus on core subjects while accommodating each student’s specific academic needs and learning style.
We recognize that continuing education is essential for long-term success, which is why we’ve developed strong partnerships with local schools to facilitate a seamless shift both during treatment and after completion.
Additionally, our staff provides regular progress updates to both families and school administrators, ensuring everyone remains informed about the student’s academic achievements.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Based on our facility’s accommodations, teens may have either a private room or share a semi-private room with another resident. Our housing arrangements are thoughtfully designed with gender-specific floors to guarantee comfort and appropriate boundaries during the recovery process.
We understand that room assignments can greatly impact a teen’s treatment experience, which is why we carefully consider each resident’s specific needs and circumstances when making room arrangements.
Our accommodations feature comfortable furnishings and personal storage space, allowing residents to maintain a sense of privacy and individual space, whether in private or semi-private settings.
For families concerned about room assignments, we’re happy to discuss specific arrangements during the admission process, as we recognize that appropriate housing contributes to creating a supportive environment conducive to healing and recovery.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medication management forms an important 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 discuss all options with you as parents or guardians to guarantee you’re fully informed and comfortable with the treatment plan.
To provide the most thorough care possible, we encourage communication with your teen’s current healthcare providers.
We’ll ask you to complete a Release of Information (ROI) form if your child has an existing psychiatrist or primary care provider, allowing us to verify previous treatments and coordinate medication plans.
This collaborative approach guarantees seamless integration between your teen’s treatment at our facility and their ongoing care, while keeping you informed about any medication adjustments that may benefit their recovery journey.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Structure and rules play an essential role in our teen rehabilitation program at Montville Adolescent Center. We maintain clear behavioral expectations that create a safe, supportive environment where teens can focus on their recovery journey. Our guidelines include following daily schedules, participating in all therapeutic activities, respecting fellow residents and staff, and maintaining appropriate boundaries.
To guarantee successful treatment outcomes, we’ve established specific protocols regarding personal electronics, approved visitor lists, and communication with family members. We don’t permit cell phones or unauthorized internet access during treatment, though we provide scheduled times for family contact.
Additionally, we require teens to maintain proper hygiene, keep their living spaces tidy, and complete assigned academic work. These rules aren’t meant to be restrictive but rather to foster responsibility, accountability, and healthy habits that support long-term recovery.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Parents considering out-of-state treatment for their teen often reveal several meaningful advantages. At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance from negative influences and triggers can create a vital reset opportunity, allowing teens to focus entirely on their recovery journey.
The change in environment often reduces the likelihood of leaving treatment prematurely, as the geographical separation naturally limits impulsive decisions.
Additionally, out-of-state treatment provides a fresh perspective and new peer relationships, which can be particularly beneficial when local social circles have contributed to substance use.
We’ve seen that this separation often strengthens family dynamics, as both parents and teens gain valuable insights during scheduled family therapy sessions, while our academic continuity program guarantees your child won’t fall behind in their studies during their time with us.
How do I get started?
Getting started at Montville Adolescent Center involves three simple steps.
First, our admissions team will conduct a brief, 10-minute phone assessment to guarantee we’re the right fit for your teen’s specific needs and circumstances.
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 arrange a convenient intake time that works with your schedule, allowing us to begin your teen’s personalized treatment journey without delay.
Throughout this process, we’ll be available to answer any questions and address concerns you may have about our programs, therapeutic approaches, or facility amenities, ensuring you feel completely informed and supported in taking this important step toward your teen’s recovery.
