Our facility provides both private and semi-private rooms in a gender-specific housing arrangement, ensuring comfort and privacy while maintaining appropriate therapeutic boundaries for ideal recovery outcomes.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers 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).
Under these laws, insurance providers must treat mental health and substance use disorder services as essential health benefits, giving them the same level of coverage as medical and surgical care.
We’ll work with your insurance company to determine your specific coverage and benefits for our adolescent treatment programs at Montville.
While coverage amounts vary by provider and plan type, we accept most major insurance plans and will help verify your benefits before admission.
If you don’t have insurance or need additional payment options, we’ll work with you to investigate alternative financing solutions that make treatment accessible for your teen.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Family visits play an essential role in teen recovery at Montville Adolescent Center. We schedule visitation hours every Sunday, ensuring families can maintain vital connections while their teens progress through treatment.
To maintain a therapeutic environment, we’ve established clear guidelines that allow only approved family members and legal guardians who are 18 or older to visit.
Before participating in visitation, we require all visitors to attend one of our Family Support Sessions, where they’ll learn about our treatment approach and how to best support their teen’s recovery journey.
We believe this preparation helps create more meaningful interactions during visits while maintaining the structured environment that’s fundamental for recovery.
Our clinical staff carefully reviews and approves all visitors to guarantee the safety and well-being of every teen in our care.

Thorough family support forms a cornerstone of our teen recovery program at Montville Adolescent Center. We provide detailed family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular progress updates to guarantee parents and guardians remain actively involved in their teen’s recovery journey.
Our dedicated family support includes weekly therapy sessions where families can address underlying issues, improve communication, and develop healthy coping strategies together.

What educational coordination is offered?
In accordance with our commitment to academic success, we provide extensive educational coordination through partnerships with local school districts. Our program includes two hours of daily structured academics, making certain your teen maintains their educational momentum while receiving treatment.
We actively collaborate with your child’s home school to facilitate attendance credits and align our curriculum with their existing coursework.

Based on our facility layout at Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options for teens in treatment.
Our carefully designed living spaces prioritize comfort, safety, and a therapeutic environment that supports recovery and personal growth during a teen’s stay with us.
When determining room assignments, we’ll work with your family to select the most appropriate option based on your teenager’s specific needs, treatment goals, and clinical recommendations.

All our rooms are located on gender-specific housing floors, ensuring appropriate boundaries and comfort for all residents.
Do you prescribe medications?
While room arrangements support your teen’s physical comfort, medication management plays a key role in their overall treatment success. At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ll discuss any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions with you, as a parent or guardian, before implementing them in your teen’s treatment plan.
We strongly encourage you to sign our Release of Information (ROI) form if your child currently has a psychiatrist or primary care provider who prescribes medications. This authorization allows us to communicate effectively with their existing healthcare providers, verify previous treatment protocols, and coordinate any medication adjustments during their stay.
Through this collaborative approach, we’ll guarantee seamless communication about your teen’s medication management both during treatment and in their post-treatment care plan.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Every teen at Montville Adolescent Center must follow specific behavioral guidelines designed to create a safe, structured, and therapeutic environment.
We maintain clear expectations around participation in therapy sessions, academic studies, and group activities, while enforcing rules about appropriate interactions with peers and staff. Our guidelines prohibit physical aggression, possession of contraband items, and any form of bullying or harassment, ensuring all clients feel secure during their recovery journey.
Additionally, we’ve established structured schedules for wake-up times, meals, therapy sessions, and bedtime, which help create stability and routine.
We also require teens to maintain personal hygiene standards, keep their living spaces tidy, and follow our dress code, all of which contribute to developing healthy habits and self-discipline during treatment.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Sending a teenager to an out-of-state treatment facility offers several distinct advantages for their recovery journey.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance from triggers and negative influences allows teens to focus completely on their recovery without local distractions or peer pressure. Additionally, our location, just 45 minutes from Manhattan, provides the perfect balance of accessibility and separation.
The change in environment often helps break unhealthy patterns, while our structured program, including daily medical check-ins and various therapy modalities, creates a fresh start.
We’ve observed that teens who travel for treatment often experience increased commitment to their recovery journey, as the deliberate choice to seek care away from home can strengthen their resolve and dedication to positive change.
