Our academic coordination guarantees your teen stays on track with their studies, while our comfortable semi-private and private rooms provide a structured, therapeutic environment for their recovery journey.

Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Family involvement remains an essential part of the recovery process at Montville Adolescent Center. We welcome family visits during our designated Sunday visitation hours, which provide structured opportunities for teens to maintain crucial connections with their loved ones.
Before any visits can occur, all visitors must be at least 18 years old and receive approval from our clinical staff.
We’ve implemented a thorough visitation protocol that requires family members and guardians to attend a Family Support Session prior to their first visit. This requirement ensures that visitors understand our therapeutic approach and can effectively support their teen’s recovery journey.
Additionally, we maintain these protocols to create a safe, supportive environment where our clients can focus on their treatment while still maintaining meaningful family connections that contribute to long-term success.
Do you offer support to family members?
Supporting families through every step of their teen’s recovery journey is a cornerstone of our treatment philosophy at Montville Adolescent Center. We provide extensive family support services, including weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular updates on your teen’s progress.
Our family-focused approach includes specialized support groups where parents and guardians can connect with others facing similar challenges.
While our clinical team offers guidance on establishing healthy boundaries and improving communication at home, we’ll work closely with you to develop post-treatment strategies, ensuring you’re equipped with the tools needed to support your teen’s ongoing recovery.
Through our family education program, you’ll gain valuable insights into addiction, mental health, and evidence-based ways to strengthen your family’s resilience during and after treatment.
What educational coordination is offered?
Education remains a top priority during your teen’s treatment at Montville Adolescent Center. We actively partner with your child’s home school district to maintain academic progress and guarantee they don’t fall behind during their recovery journey.
Our program includes two dedicated hours of structured academics each day, during which we coordinate with teachers to align coursework with their school’s curriculum.
We’ll work closely with your teen’s school to facilitate attendance credits and manage their educational requirements throughout treatment. Through our thorough educational coordination, we provide progress updates to both families and schools, helping to create a seamless change when your teen returns to their regular academic environment.

Medication management plays an essential role in our thorough treatment approach.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we guarantee open communication with parents and guardians regarding any medication decisions for their teens, discussing all new prescriptions or changes to existing medications before implementation.
We’ll work closely with your child’s current healthcare providers, which is why we request a signed Release of Information (ROI) form to facilitate communication with psychiatrists and primary care physicians during treatment.
This collaborative approach allows us to verify previous treatment protocols and effectively communicate any medication adjustments that may be needed for post-treatment care.
We’re committed to maintaining transparency throughout the medication management process while guaranteeing the highest standard of medical care for your teen.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Naturally, all teens in our program must follow specific behavioral guidelines to maintain a safe, structured, and therapeutic environment.
We’ve established clear expectations regarding respect for staff and peers, participation in scheduled activities, and adherence to safety protocols that are essential for recovery success.
During their stay, we require teens to attend all therapy sessions, educational programs, and group activities, while maintaining appropriate boundaries with others and following our dress code guidelines.
Additionally, we don’t permit personal electronic devices, and communication with family members occurs during designated times through approved channels.
While these rules may seem strict, they’re designed to help teens focus on their recovery journey, develop healthy routines, and create a supportive community where everyone feels secure and respected.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
While our behavioral guidelines create a strong foundation for recovery, choosing an out-of-state treatment facility can offer distinct advantages for your teen.
When adolescents receive treatment away from their familiar environment, they’re removed from negative peer influences and triggering situations that may have contributed to their substance use.
At Montville Adolescent Center, which is conveniently located just 45 minutes from Manhattan, we’ve found that physical distance often creates the emotional space needed for genuine transformation and healing.
Additionally, our out-of-state clients benefit from a fresh perspective and the opportunity to focus solely on their recovery, without daily reminders of past challenges.
We’ve designed our program to guarantee that teens maintain academic progress and family connections while gaining the advantages of specialized care in a new setting.

After completing the initial assessment, our dedicated team will verify your insurance benefits, if applicable, and discuss any additional payment options that may be necessary.
We’ll then work with you to schedule an intake appointment that accommodates your family’s schedule. Throughout this process, our experienced admissions counselors will guide you through each step, answer your questions, and address any concerns you may have about your teen’s treatment journey.
We’re committed to making the admission process as seamless as possible during this challenging time.
