We believe that family involvement is crucial to the recovery process, which is why we’ve integrated mandatory Family Support Sessions into our visitation protocol.

Do you offer support to family members?
Family support is a cornerstone of our teen recovery program at Montville Adolescent Center. We recognize that addiction affects the entire family unit, which is why we offer extensive support services, including weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular progress updates for parents and guardians.
Our family support program includes multiple components designed to help families heal and grow together. Through our family therapy sessions, we address underlying communication issues, establish healthy boundaries, and develop practical strategies for supporting your teen’s recovery journey.
Additionally, we provide educational resources about substance use disorders, host family support groups where you can connect with other families facing similar challenges, and offer guidance on creating a supportive home environment that promotes long-term recovery success.
What educational coordination is offered?
While supporting the whole family is essential to recovery, maintaining academic progress remains a key priority at Montville Adolescent Center.
We’ve established strong partnerships with local school districts to guarantee seamless curriculum integration, allowing students to earn attendance credits and stay on track with their studies during treatment.
Our program dedicates two hours daily to structured academics, combining traditional coursework with physical education activities.
We’ll work directly with your teen’s school to obtain current assignments, coordinate with teachers, and maintain educational continuity throughout their stay.
Our staff regularly communicates with school administrators to address any specific academic needs or concerns, ensuring that your child’s educational goals aren’t compromised during treatment.
When it’s time to shift back to school, we’ll help facilitate a smooth return to the classroom.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Room arrangements at Montville Adolescent Center include both private and semi-private options, giving teens a safe and comfortable space during their recovery journey.
We’ve designed our gender-specific housing floors to promote a therapeutic environment while ensuring privacy and security for all residents.
In our semi-private rooms, we carefully pair residents to create supportive living situations that complement the treatment process, while our private rooms offer additional personal space for teens who may benefit from increased privacy based on their specific needs or circumstances.

Medication management at Montville Adolescent Center follows strict protocols that prioritize communication with parents and guardians.
Before making any changes to existing medications or prescribing new ones, we’ll discuss all options thoroughly with you to guarantee you’re informed and comfortable with the treatment plan.
If your teen currently works with a psychiatrist or primary care provider, we’ll request that you sign a Release of Information (ROI) form, which allows us to coordinate care effectively with their existing medical team.
This collaborative approach enables us to verify previous treatments and guarantee seamless communication about medication adjustments during and after your teen’s stay with us.
We believe that transparency and coordination between all healthcare providers are essential for achieving the best possible outcomes in your teen’s recovery journey.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Just as we maintain clear protocols for medication management, our facility operates with specific rules and guidelines that help create a structured, therapeutic environment for all teens in our care.
While in treatment, teens must follow our behavioral expectations, which include respecting staff and peers, participating in all scheduled activities, maintaining appropriate boundaries, and adhering to our no-contact policy with outside individuals except during approved family visits.
We’ve established these guidelines to guarantee safety and promote recovery, requiring teens to follow dress code requirements, attend all therapy sessions, complete academic work, and respect designated quiet hours.
Additionally, we prohibit the use of personal electronic devices, though supervised computer access is permitted for schoolwork during specific timeframes.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Sending your teenager to an out-of-state treatment facility can offer several strategic advantages for their recovery journey.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences often creates an essential buffer that enhances treatment success. This separation allows teens to focus entirely on their recovery without the distractions of local peer pressure or environmental stressors.
We’re located in a tranquil setting that’s still conveniently accessible, just 45 minutes from Manhattan and two hours from Philadelphia.
This geographic change provides your teen with a fresh perspective while maintaining family involvement through our structured visitation program and family therapy sessions.
Additionally, our out-of-state location often reduces the likelihood of leaving treatment prematurely, as the physical distance naturally encourages program completion.
How do I get started?
Getting started with our teen rehab program involves three straightforward steps.
First, you’ll connect with our admissions team, who’ll conduct a brief 10-minute pre-assessment over the phone to confirm our program aligns with your teen’s specific needs.
Next, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and discuss payment options, providing you with a clear understanding of coverage and any potential out-of-pocket expenses.
Finally, we’ll schedule an intake appointment at our Montville Adolescent Center, where our experienced clinical team will perform a thorough evaluation and begin developing your teen’s personalized treatment plan.

Our goal is to make the admission process as seamless as possible during this challenging time.
