At Montville Adolescent Center, we recognize that anxiety, depression, and trauma often accompany substance use disorders in teens. This is why we provide extensive dual diagnosis treatment addressing both mental health and addiction simultaneously.
We’ve developed specialized therapeutic approaches for anxiety disorders, major depressive disorder, and trauma-related conditions, including PTSD. We integrate evidence-based treatments like CBT and DBT with our teen addiction treatment programs.
For those struggling with anxiety, we offer tailored strategies that can significantly improve their quality of life, as described on our anxiety treatment page. Similarly, our comprehensive approach to depression helps adolescents navigate their emotional challenges while fostering resilience.

Through our holistic treatment model, we help teens build resilience and develop practical coping strategies while working through their mental health challenges. This creates a foundation for lasting recovery and emotional well-being.
Anxiety Treatment
Guardian Recovery’s extensive approach to anxiety treatment combines three essential therapeutic modalities: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and medication management when necessary.
Through CBT sessions, we help teens identify and reshape anxious thought patterns while developing practical coping strategies for managing symptoms in their daily lives.
We’ve found that DBT’s emphasis on mindfulness and emotional regulation proves particularly effective for adolescents struggling with anxiety alongside substance use disorders.
When clinically indicated, our medical team carefully evaluates the need for anti-anxiety medications, always working closely with families to make informed decisions about medication management.
During treatment, we’ll teach your teen various anxiety-management techniques, including deep breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, and grounding practices, which they can continue using long after completing our program.

Depression often coexists with anxiety in teens struggling with substance use, which is why our thorough treatment program addresses both conditions simultaneously.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
As parents and caregivers investigate treatment options for their teens, we often receive important questions about insurance coverage, family involvement, educational continuity, and living arrangements during the recovery journey.
We recognize that choosing the right treatment program involves careful consideration of numerous factors, including our acceptance of most major insurance plans, our structured weekly family visitation program, and our partnership with local schools to maintain academic progress.
From our semi-private room accommodations to our thorough family support services, we’ve designed our program to address the complex needs of both teens and their families while providing a supportive, structured environment for lasting recovery.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance coverage for addiction treatment is protected by federal law, including the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
These regulations guarantee that insurance companies must cover essential health benefits, including substance use disorder treatment and mental health services, just as they’d cover medical conditions.
We accept most major insurance plans, and our admissions team will help verify your coverage and explain your benefits in detail.
While coverage levels vary by insurance provider and specific plan, many families find that their out-of-pocket expenses are greatly reduced through insurance.
We’ll work closely with you to determine exact coverage amounts, discuss payment options, and guarantee you understand all financial aspects before beginning treatment at our Montville Adolescent Center.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Family connection plays an essential role in teen recovery at Montville Adolescent Center.
We’ve established specific visitation protocols that enable parents and guardians to maintain meaningful contact with their teens while ensuring the therapeutic process remains undisturbed.
Visitation occurs every Sunday during designated hours, allowing family members and guardians who are 18 or older to spend time with their teen.
Before any visits can take place, we require all potential visitors to receive approval from our clinical staff and participate in a Family Support Session.
This session helps create a supportive environment for recovery.
This structured approach to visitation guarantees that family interactions contribute positively to your teen’s treatment journey while maintaining the stability and security of our therapeutic environment.
Do you offer support to family members?
Beyond weekly visitation, Montville Adolescent Center provides extensive support services for families throughout their teen’s recovery journey.
We recognize that addiction affects the entire family system, which is why we’ve integrated thorough family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and support groups into our treatment program.
Our family support services include regular progress updates from your teen’s treatment team, weekly family therapy sessions that address underlying dynamics and communication patterns, and monthly educational workshops covering topics such as addiction science, boundary-setting, and effective parenting strategies.
Additionally, we’ll connect you with local support groups and community resources to help strengthen your family’s foundation for long-term recovery, while our clinical team remains available to answer questions and provide guidance throughout your teen’s treatment experience.
What educational coordination is offered?
Educational coordination at Montville Adolescent Center assures your teen maintains academic progress during treatment. Through our partnerships with local school districts, we facilitate seamless curriculum integration and attendance credit, helping your child stay on track academically during their recovery journey.
We dedicate two hours daily to structured academic pursuits, which include both traditional coursework and physical education activities.
Our staff works directly with your teen’s home school to align lesson plans, assignments, and educational goals, creating a customized academic schedule that complements their treatment program.
During your child’s stay, we’ll provide regular progress updates and coordinate with teachers and school administrators to facilitate a smooth shift back to their regular academic environment once treatment is complete.
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 thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize comfort, safety, and the therapeutic environment that’s vital for recovery, with gender-specific housing floors that help maintain appropriate boundaries and structure.
We understand that having personal space is important during the treatment process, which is why our rooms are carefully arranged to provide both privacy and security.
While many of our teens share rooms with one other resident, which can foster positive peer connections and accountability, we also maintain private room accommodations for cases where individual circumstances or clinical recommendations indicate that a private setting would be more beneficial to the recovery journey.
Do you prescribe medications?
When it comes to prescribing medications, we maintain a careful and collaborative approach at Montville Adolescent Center. Any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions are thoroughly discussed with parents or guardians before implementation, ensuring full transparency in your teen’s treatment plan.
For teens who already have a psychiatrist or primary care provider managing their medications, we’ll ask you to sign our Release of Information (ROI) form, which allows us to communicate directly with these healthcare providers throughout your child’s stay.
This coordinated approach enables us to verify previous treatment protocols and effectively communicate any medication adjustments that may be needed during and after treatment, ensuring continuity of care and the best possible outcomes for your teenager.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
During their stay at Montville Adolescent Center, teens must follow specific behavioral guidelines designed to guarantee safety, promote recovery, and create a supportive environment for all residents.
We’ve established clear expectations, including mandatory participation in all scheduled activities, adherence to designated wake-up and bedtimes, and maintenance of respectful interactions with staff and peers.
Our rules prohibit physical aggression, inappropriate language, and possession of contraband items, while requiring teens to maintain proper hygiene and keep their living spaces tidy.
Additionally, we regulate phone and electronic device usage, limiting communication to approved family contacts during designated times.
Through these structured guidelines, we’re able to maintain a therapeutic environment where teens can focus on their recovery journey while developing essential life skills and healthy boundaries.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Sending your teenager out of state for addiction treatment often provides distinct advantages regarding recovery success. At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance from familiar triggers and negative peer influences creates a fresh environment for healing and growth.
The geographical separation allows teens to focus entirely on their recovery without the distractions of local social pressures or easy access to previous contacts.
Additionally, out-of-state treatment offers the benefit of a complete reset, as your teen can develop new perspectives and coping mechanisms away from their usual surroundings.
We’ve observed that this distance often strengthens family dynamics, as structured family therapy sessions become more intentional and meaningful.
Our location, just 45 minutes from Manhattan, provides the perfect balance of accessibility and separation for ideal therapeutic outcomes.
How do I get started?
Starting the admissions process at Montville Adolescent Center involves just a few simple steps. When you’re ready to begin, our admissions team will conduct a brief, 10-minute phone assessment to confirm we’re the right fit for your teen’s specific needs and circumstances.
After completing the initial assessment, we’ll work with you to verify your insurance benefits and discuss any financial considerations.
Once we’ve addressed these practical matters, we’ll schedule your teen’s intake appointment at a time that works best for your family.
Throughout this process, our dedicated counselors will guide you through any necessary paperwork, answer your questions, and help coordinate transportation if needed.
We recognize this can feel overwhelming, which is why we’ve streamlined our admission process to be as straightforward and supportive as possible.
