We’ve established designated visitation hours every Sunday, where family members and legal guardians who are 18 or older can spend time with their loved ones in treatment.
To ensure the safety and therapeutic integrity of our program, all visitors must receive prior approval from our clinical staff.
Family members are required to participate in a Family Support Session before visiting.
This helps create a more meaningful and therapeutically beneficial interaction between teens and their loved ones.
During these sessions, we provide guidance on supporting your teen’s recovery journey and maintaining healthy boundaries, while also addressing any concerns or questions you may have about the treatment process.
Do you offer support to family members?
Recognizing that family involvement is essential for teen recovery, Montville Adolescent Center provides thorough support services for family members throughout the treatment process.
We offer extensive family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and support groups that help parents and siblings understand addiction, mental health challenges, and effective communication strategies.
Our family support program includes weekly Family Support Sessions, which are mandatory before visitation, where families can connect with other parents facing similar challenges while learning valuable coping skills.
We also provide regular progress updates, educational materials, and resources to help families prepare for their teen’s return home.
Additionally, our clinical team works closely with families to develop post-treatment planning strategies, ensuring they’ve the tools and knowledge needed to support their teen’s ongoing recovery journey.
What educational coordination is offered?
Every teen’s academic progress remains a top priority during treatment at Montville Adolescent Center. We work directly with each student’s home school district to guarantee they stay on track with their studies and receive appropriate credits during their time with us.
Our program dedicates two hours daily to structured academic activities, combining traditional coursework with physical education.
We’ve established strong partnerships with local schools to maintain curriculum alignment and seamless integration of coursework. Our staff coordinates with teachers and guidance counselors to obtain current assignments, facilitate makeup work, and guarantee proper credit transfer.

Will my teenager have their own room?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options for our teen residents. Our carefully designed living spaces prioritize comfort, safety, and therapeutic benefit while maintaining appropriate supervision levels for adolescent care.
We understand that room assignments can greatly impact a teen’s treatment experience, which is why we take multiple factors into consideration when making arrangements, including clinical recommendations, individual needs, and available space.

Do you prescribe medications?
Our medical team’s approach to medication management prioritizes safety, transparency, and collaboration with families. Any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions are thoroughly discussed with parents or guardians before implementation, guaranteeing everyone understands and agrees with the treatment plan.
For teens who already have a psychiatrist or primary care provider managing their medications, we’ll ask you to sign a Release of Information (ROI) form, which allows us to communicate directly with these healthcare providers.
This coordination enables us to verify previous treatment history and discuss any medication adjustments that may occur during your teen’s stay. Additionally, this collaborative approach guarantees a smooth shift for post-treatment care, as all providers will be informed about any medication changes or new prescriptions implemented during the program.

Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
While sending your teen to an out-of-state facility may feel challenging, this decision often provides significant therapeutic advantages.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance can create necessary boundaries and reduce negative peer influences that may have contributed to substance use. The separation allows teens to focus entirely on their recovery without frequent disruptions or triggers from their usual environment.
