Our Levels of Care for Teen Substance Use Recovery in New Jersey
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve structured our comprehensive teen recovery programs into three distinct levels of care: Adolescent Drug Detox, Teen Residential Inpatient Treatment, and Virtual Adolescent Treatment.
Our personalized approach, combined with a 1:1 staff-to-client ratio, enables us to match each teen with the most appropriate level of care tailored to their specific needs, challenges, and circumstances.
We offer a specialized teen drug detox program to provide medical supervision during the detox process. For those who require more intensive support, our teen residential treatment provides round-the-clock care in a nurturing environment.
Additionally, our flexible virtual teen rehab options ensure that adolescents can receive support from the comfort of their homes.
We are committed to delivering the right intensity of treatment at the right time, ensuring that every adolescent receives the necessary support throughout their recovery journey.
This includes comprehensive options for teen substance use disorder treatment, whether through our in-person programs or through innovative telehealth teen addiction treatment solutions.
Adolescent Drug Detox
Breaking free from substance dependency begins with safe, medically supervised detoxification. At Montville Adolescent Center, we provide thorough medical oversight during this critical first phase of recovery, ensuring your teen’s comfort and safety as their body adjusts to functioning without substances.
Our experienced medical team carefully monitors essential signs and withdrawal symptoms around the clock, administering appropriate medications when necessary to manage discomfort and prevent complications.
During detox, we maintain our 1:1 staff-to-client ratio, offering both physical and emotional support as teens traverse this challenging change.
While the duration of detox varies depending on the substance used and individual factors, we’re committed to providing the time and care needed for a complete and safe withdrawal process, preparing your teen for the next phase of their recovery journey.

Following detox, our residential inpatient treatment program offers teens a structured, immersive healing environment.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we maintain a 1:1 staff-to-client ratio while providing extensive care that includes individual therapy, group sessions, and family counseling to address both substance use and underlying behavioral challenges.
Our daily schedule integrates two hours of academics with therapeutic activities, including CBT, DBT, and creative arts therapy, ensuring your teen’s educational progress continues during treatment.
We’ve designed our program to help adolescents develop essential coping mechanisms through psychoeducation, stress management techniques, and improved communication skills, all while residing in our thoughtfully arranged facility with gender-specific housing floors and recreational spaces that support their recovery journey.

Virtual treatment provides a flexible alternative for teens who need ongoing support while maintaining their daily routines.
We’ve designed our virtual program to deliver thorough care through secure, HIPAA-compliant platforms that enable teens to participate in therapy sessions, group meetings, and educational workshops from home.
Through our virtual platform, we offer the same evidence-based treatments available in our residential program, including individual therapy, family sessions, and specialized group work focusing on CBT and DBT techniques.
Our experienced clinicians work closely with each teen to develop personalized treatment plans, monitor progress, and adjust interventions as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize parents have many questions about our teen treatment program, from insurance coverage and family visitation policies to educational continuity and living arrangements.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’re committed to providing thorough answers about our insurance verification process, weekly family support sessions, academic coordination with home schools, and both private and semi-private room options.
Through our dedicated admissions team and family-centered approach, we’ll guide you through every aspect of the program, including our Sunday visitation hours, customized treatment plans, and ongoing educational support that guarantees your teen stays on track academically while receiving the care they need.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Thanks to federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), insurance typically covers most or all costs associated with teen addiction treatment.
The ACA requires insurance providers to cover essential health benefits, including substance use disorder treatment and mental health services, making care more accessible for families.
We’ll work directly with your insurance company to verify your benefits and determine coverage levels for our adolescent programs, including detox, residential treatment, and therapy services.
While coverage varies by provider and plan type, we accept most major insurance plans and will help you understand your out-of-pocket expenses before beginning treatment.
If you don’t have insurance, our admissions team can discuss alternative payment options to guarantee your teen receives the care they need.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Yes, parents can visit their teen at Montville Adolescent Center during designated visiting hours every Sunday.
To maintain the safety and therapeutic environment of our facility, 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.
We’ve found that successful family visits play an important role in the recovery process, which is why we require participation in our Family Support Sessions before visitation privileges begin.
During these sessions, we’ll provide you with valuable insights into your teen’s treatment progress and guidance on how to make the most of your visits.
Our structured visitation policy guarantees that each teen maintains strong family connections while staying focused on their recovery journey.
Do you offer support to family members?
Beyond regular visiting hours, family involvement forms a core pillar of our treatment approach at Montville Adolescent Center. We recognize that addiction affects the entire family system, which is why we’ve developed extensive support services, including weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and support groups designed specifically for parents and siblings.
Our family program integrates multiple therapeutic components, including regular progress updates from our clinical team, psychoeducational sessions about substance use disorders, and practical communication skills training.
We’ll help you understand your teen’s challenges while providing tools to rebuild trust and strengthen family bonds. Additionally, we connect families with local support groups and resources that can provide ongoing assistance after their teen completes our program, ensuring sustained healing for the whole family unit.
What educational coordination is offered?
Educational coordination at Montville Adolescent Center guarantees students stay on track academically during their treatment. We partner directly with each teen’s home school district to secure proper attendance credits and curriculum alignment, allocating two dedicated hours daily for academic pursuits and physical education activities.
Our extensive academic support system includes coordinating with teachers, managing coursework requirements, and facilitating a smooth shift back to regular schooling post-treatment.
We recognize that maintaining educational progress is vital for our teens’ future success, which is why we’ve integrated structured learning into our daily treatment schedule. Through our collaborative approach with school districts, we’re able to provide individualized academic support while making certain that our clients’ educational needs are met within the therapeutic environment.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Room assignments at Montville Adolescent Center include both private and semi-private options, depending on availability and individual treatment needs.
Our gender-specific housing floors guarantee appropriate separation and comfort, while our thoughtfully designed living spaces promote both personal reflection and healthy social interaction when appropriate.
We understand that many teens and parents have concerns about room arrangements during treatment, which is why we carefully consider each client’s specific situation when making housing assignments.
Our semi-private rooms typically accommodate two residents, fostering peer support while maintaining appropriate boundaries, whereas private rooms may be available for teens who’d benefit from additional personal space due to specific therapeutic needs or medical considerations.
All rooms are regularly monitored by our staff to maintain safety and security throughout treatment.
Do you prescribe medications?
While room arrangements focus on our teens’ living spaces, medication management plays an equally important role in their treatment journey.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we take a careful, collaborative approach to medication management, making certain that parents and guardians are fully informed about any proposed changes or new prescriptions for their teen.
We’ll discuss all medication decisions with you before making any adjustments, and if your teen currently works with a psychiatrist or primary care provider, we’ll ask you to sign a Release of Information (ROI) form.
This documentation allows us to communicate effectively with your teen’s existing healthcare providers, verify previous treatments, and coordinate any medication modifications that may occur during their stay.
This thorough approach makes certain seamless continuity of care both during and after treatment.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Structure and safety form the foundation of our teen rehabilitation program, which maintains clear rules and expectations for all participants.
We enforce essential guidelines, including mandatory participation in all scheduled activities, respect for staff and peers, and strict adherence to our no-contraband policy. Teens must follow our daily schedule, attend all therapy sessions and academic periods, and maintain appropriate boundaries with others.
Our rules prohibit physical aggression, inappropriate language, and any form of bullying or harassment.
We also require teens to respect personal space, maintain proper hygiene, and keep their living areas clean.
During treatment, we don’t allow personal electronic devices, and communication with outside contacts follows our structured protocol, ensuring that recovery remains the primary focus while maintaining necessary family connections through approved channels.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Distance can provide significant therapeutic advantages when seeking rehabilitation care for your teenager.
We’ve found that physical separation from familiar triggers, negative peer influences, and enabling relationships often creates a vital reset opportunity for adolescents in recovery.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, teens who travel from out of state benefit from a fresh environment where they can focus solely on their healing journey, free from local distractions and pressures.
Additionally, the geographic distance typically encourages deeper engagement with our treatment program, as teens can’t easily leave when treatment becomes challenging.
We’ve also observed that families often experience improved communication dynamics when working through issues from a measured distance, allowing both parents and teens to develop new perspectives and healthier interaction patterns.
How do I get started?
Getting started with teen rehabilitation at Montville Adolescent Center involves a straightforward three-step process.
First, you’ll connect with our admissions team, who’ll conduct a brief 10-minute pre-assessment over the phone to guarantee we’re the right fit for your teenager’s specific needs.
Next, our team will 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 a time that works best for your family, during which we’ll complete necessary paperwork and begin developing your teen’s personalized treatment plan.
Throughout this process, our dedicated admissions counselors will guide you every step of the way, answering questions and addressing concerns to guarantee a smooth changeover into our program.
