Through our family-centered approach, we guarantee parents stay connected through regular updates and scheduled Sunday visits, while our dedicated staff maintains a supportive environment focused on your teen’s recovery and educational progress.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Most insurance plans cover all or part of teen addiction treatment costs, thanks to federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
These laws guarantee that insurance providers must include coverage for mental health and substance use disorder treatment as essential health benefits.
At Guardian Recovery’s Montville Adolescent Center, we accept most major insurance plans and work diligently to maximize your benefits for your teen’s treatment.
We’ll help verify your coverage and explain any out-of-pocket expenses before admission. Our admissions team can perform a complimentary insurance benefits check, providing you with a clear understanding of your coverage and any potential costs.

Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Families are encouraged to stay connected with their teens during treatment at Montville Adolescent Center through our structured visitation program.
We’ve established designated visiting hours every Sunday, ensuring that families can maintain meaningful connections while adhering to our therapeutic framework.
To protect our clients’ well-being, we require all visitors to be family members or legal guardians who are at least 18 years old, and they must receive prior approval from our clinical staff.
Additionally, we’ve implemented a mandatory Family Support Session requirement for visitors, which helps create a more supportive and understanding environment for our teens’ recovery journey.
This thorough approach allows us to maintain security protocols while fostering the essential family connections that contribute greatly to successful treatment outcomes.
Do you offer support to family members?
Recognizing the essential role of family support in teen recovery, Montville Adolescent Center provides extensive family-centered services throughout the treatment process.
We offer weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and support groups designed to help parents and siblings understand addiction, mental health challenges, and effective communication strategies.
Our family support program includes thorough education about substance use disorders, training in crisis management, and guidance on establishing healthy boundaries.
We’ll work with you to develop practical skills for supporting your teen’s recovery journey while maintaining your own emotional well-being.
Additionally, we provide regular progress updates, facilitate family visits during designated times, and offer resources for continuing care after treatment completion, ensuring that families feel equipped to tackle the challenges of long-term recovery together.
What educational coordination is offered?
Educational continuity remains a top priority at Montville Adolescent Center, where we maintain strong partnerships with local school districts to guarantee your teen stays on track academically.
We dedicate two hours daily to structured academic pursuits, ensuring your child doesn’t fall behind while receiving treatment.
Our academic coordination includes direct communication with your teen’s home school district to facilitate attendance credits and maintain curriculum alignment.

During your teen’s stay, we’ll provide regular progress updates and coordinate any necessary accommodations to support their learning needs, making certain they’re prepared for a successful return to their regular academic environment after treatment.
Will my teenager have their own room?
In keeping with our dedication to comfort and privacy, we offer both private and semi-private rooms at Montville Adolescent Center. Our thoughtfully designed living spaces provide teens with a secure, nurturing environment that supports their recovery journey, while our gender-specific housing floors guarantee appropriate boundaries and comfort for all residents.

While we can’t promise private rooms for every client, we work diligently to accommodate specific needs and preferences whenever possible, taking into consideration factors such as medical requirements, therapeutic recommendations, and available space within our facility.
Do you prescribe medications?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we maintain a thorough medication management program under strict medical supervision. Any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions are carefully discussed with parents or guardians before implementation, guaranteeing full transparency in your teen’s treatment plan.
For teens with existing psychiatric care or primary care providers, we’ll need a signed Release of Information (ROI) form to facilitate communication during their stay.
This allows us to verify previous treatment protocols and effectively coordinate any medication adjustments that may be necessary. Our medical team works collaboratively with your teen’s established healthcare providers to guarantee continuity of care and communicate any medication modifications that will need to be maintained after treatment completion.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Our teen treatment program maintains clear behavioral expectations and guidelines to create a safe, structured environment that promotes recovery.
We require all teens to follow our core rules, which include attending all scheduled therapy sessions and groups, maintaining appropriate boundaries with peers, respecting staff directives, and participating in daily activities.
We don’t allow cell phones or unauthorized electronic devices, and there’s zero tolerance for violence, substance use, or inappropriate relationships.
Additionally, we expect teens to follow their personalized daily schedule, complete assigned therapeutic work, and maintain personal hygiene standards.
While these rules may seem strict, they’re designed to help teens develop structure, accountability, and healthy habits that will support their long-term recovery and personal growth.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Sending your teenager out of state for treatment often provides several meaningful advantages. When teens receive care away from their familiar environment, they’re removed from negative influences, such as peers who may enable substance use or trigger destructive behaviors.
The physical distance creates a clear boundary between their past challenges and their journey toward recovery.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that out-of-state treatment allows teens to focus entirely on their recovery without the distractions of local social pressures or easy access to former contacts.
Additionally, the change in environment often helps break established patterns, while our specialized academic program guarantees they won’t fall behind in school.
We’re conveniently located near major transportation hubs, making it accessible for family therapy sessions and approved visits.
How do I get started?
Getting started with your teen’s treatment journey is straightforward and begins with a simple phone call to our admissions team.
During this initial contact, one of our dedicated counselors will conduct a thorough pre-assessment of your teenager over the phone, which typically takes about 10 minutes and helps guarantee we’re the right fit for your child’s specific needs.
Once we’ve completed the assessment, we’ll verify your insurance benefits, if applicable, and discuss any additional payment options that may be available to you.
After addressing the financial aspects, we’ll work with you to arrange a convenient intake time that works best for your family’s schedule.
Throughout this process, our experienced admissions team will guide you step-by-step, ensuring a smooth shift into our treatment program at Montville Adolescent Center.
