How We Address Adolescent Behavioral & Mental Health in Treatment
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we recognize that mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, and trauma often accompany substance use disorders in teenagers.
We’ve developed extensive treatment protocols that address these co-occurring conditions through evidence-based therapies, including CBT, DBT, and specialized trauma-informed care approaches.
Our clinical team works collaboratively to create individualized treatment plans that tackle both the immediate symptoms of anxiety, depression, or PTSD, while also building long-term coping strategies for lasting emotional wellness and stability.
Our comprehensive approach to teen substance use disorder treatment ensures that we provide the necessary support for adolescents facing these challenges.
Anxiety Treatment
Three key therapeutic approaches form the foundation of our anxiety treatment program for adolescents. Through our combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and creative arts therapy, we help teens understand and manage their anxiety symptoms effectively.
Our clinical team works closely with each adolescent to identify anxiety triggers, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and build resilience through personalized treatment plans.
We’ve found that integrating these evidence-based therapies with our structured daily routine, which includes medical check-ins and therapeutic activities, helps teens develop practical skills for managing anxiety.
During group sessions, we teach stress reduction techniques and mindfulness practices, while our individual therapy sessions allow us to address each teen’s specific anxiety concerns, ensuring they receive thorough support throughout their recovery journey.

We recognize that traumatic experiences can profoundly impact an adolescent’s development, behavior, and substance use patterns, which is why we’ve developed all-encompassing therapeutic approaches that address both the visible and hidden effects of trauma.
Our trauma-specific interventions include evidence-based therapies like CBT and DBT, combined with creative arts therapy that allows teens to process difficult experiences through non-verbal expression.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize parents have many questions about our teen rehab program, from insurance coverage and visitation policies to educational coordination and living arrangements.
In our welcoming facility, teenagers receive personalized care while staying in private or semi-private rooms, maintaining their academic progress through partnerships with local schools, and benefiting from extensive family support services.
Through regular Sunday visitation hours, approved family therapy sessions, and ongoing communication with parents about treatment progress, we guarantee families remain actively involved in their teen’s recovery journey.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers most or all costs associated with teen addiction treatment, 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 can’t place unfair limitations on mental health and substance use disorder treatment benefits.
We accept most major insurance plans and will work directly with your provider to maximize your coverage for teen addiction treatment services.
While coverage levels vary by plan, we’ll verify your benefits before admission to determine your out-of-pocket costs.
If you don’t have insurance or need additional financial options, our admissions team can discuss alternative payment arrangements.
We believe that cost shouldn’t be a barrier to getting your teen the help they need.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Parents can visit their teens during designated visiting hours every Sunday at Montville Adolescent Center.
We require all visitors to be at least 18 years old and limit visitation to family members and legal guardians who’ve received prior approval from our clinical staff.
To ensure a positive experience for everyone involved, we’ve implemented a requirement that visitors must attend a Family Support Session prior to participating in visitation.
This policy helps families understand their teen’s treatment progress and provides tools for supporting recovery.
During these sessions, we’ll discuss your teen’s therapeutic journey, address any concerns you may have, and offer guidance on how to maintain healthy family dynamics throughout the treatment process and beyond.
Do you offer support to family members?
Recognizing that family support plays an essential role in teen recovery, our program offers extensive resources and guidance for parents, siblings, and other family members throughout the treatment journey.
We provide thorough family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular progress updates to make certain everyone understands and can effectively support the recovery process.
Our family support services include weekly family therapy sessions, where we address underlying dynamics and develop healthier communication patterns, as well as monthly educational workshops covering topics like addiction science, boundary-setting, and relapse prevention.
We’ll keep you informed about your teen’s progress through scheduled updates with their treatment team, and we’re always available to answer questions or address concerns that arise during your child’s stay at Montville Adolescent Center.
What educational coordination is offered?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we coordinate directly with each teen’s home school district to maintain their academic progress throughout treatment. Our program includes two hours of daily structured academics, ensuring students don’t fall behind while focusing on their recovery.
We actively collaborate with school administrators to facilitate attendance credits and align our curriculum with each student’s educational requirements.
Our educational coordination includes:
- Daily academic support from qualified instructors
- Regular progress updates to home school districts
- Customized learning plans that match school curricula
- Seamless credit transfer arrangements
- Flexible scheduling to accommodate both treatment and studies
This all-encompassing approach allows teens to continue their educational journey while receiving the treatment they need, making the eventual shift back to their regular academic environment much smoother.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Privacy considerations are carefully balanced at Montville Adolescent Center through our mixed accommodation options. We offer both private and semi-private rooms, allowing us to meet each teen’s specific needs while maintaining appropriate supervision and support throughout their recovery journey.
Our room assignments take into account multiple factors, including clinical recommendations, individual circumstances, and therapeutic goals. While private rooms are available, many of our residents benefit from carefully matched semi-private arrangements that promote positive peer interactions and social skill development.
All of our living spaces, whether private or shared, are designed with comfort and safety in mind, featuring gender-specific housing floors that create appropriate boundaries and guarantee a secure treatment environment. Each room is thoughtfully furnished to provide a comfortable, home-like atmosphere conducive to healing and personal growth.
Do you prescribe medications?
From accommodations to medical care, parents often ask about our medication policies. When it comes to prescribing medications, we maintain strict protocols that prioritize communication with families and existing healthcare providers.
We’ll discuss any new medications or changes to current prescriptions with parents or guardians before implementation, guaranteeing full transparency in your teen’s treatment plan.
For teens who already have a psychiatrist or primary care provider, we request that parents sign our Release of Information (ROI) form, which allows us to communicate effectively with these professionals during treatment.
This collaboration enables us to verify previous treatment history and coordinate any medication adjustments that may be needed.
We’ll also make sure that all providers are informed about medication plans for post-treatment care, creating a seamless shift for your teen’s ongoing recovery journey.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Structure and accountability form the foundation of our teen treatment program, which includes essential rules designed to create a safe, respectful, and recovery-focused environment.
To maintain this therapeutic setting, we require all teens to follow our behavioral guidelines, which include maintaining appropriate boundaries, respecting others’ personal space, and participating in all scheduled activities and therapies.
We’ve established strict policies regarding contraband items, and we don’t permit phones or unauthorized electronic devices during treatment.
Additionally, we expect teens to follow our dress code, maintain personal hygiene, keep their living spaces tidy, and use appropriate language.
These rules aren’t meant to be restrictive but rather to create an atmosphere where recovery, personal growth, and mutual respect can flourish.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
While local treatment options can be valuable, seeking out-of-state care for your teenager often provides distinct advantages for their recovery journey.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences creates a fresh environment for healing and personal growth. Our location, just 45 minutes from Manhattan, offers the perfect balance of accessibility and separation.
Out-of-state treatment also encourages teens to form new, healthy relationships with peers who aren’t connected to their past substance use.
Additionally, the geographical separation often strengthens family dynamics, as planned visits become more meaningful and intentional.
We’ve observed that this distance can help both parents and teens gain valuable perspective, while our structured family therapy sessions provide a supportive framework for addressing underlying issues and rebuilding trust.
How do I get started?
Beginning the journey toward teen addiction treatment is straightforward at Montville Adolescent Center. Our admissions process starts with a simple phone call to our dedicated counselors, who’ll conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment to confirm we’re the right fit for your teen’s specific needs.
After completing the initial assessment, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and discuss any financial considerations, making certain you understand the coverage available for your teen’s treatment.
Once we’ve addressed these practical matters, we’ll work with you to schedule an intake appointment that accommodates your family’s schedule. Throughout this process, our experienced admissions team remains available to answer questions, address concerns, and guide you through each step, facilitating a smooth change into our all-encompassing treatment program.
