At our Montville facility, we offer round-the-clock medical monitoring to guarantee safe withdrawal, with our experienced staff managing symptoms and providing comfort throughout the detoxification process.
We understand that detox can be challenging, which is why we maintain a 1:1 staff-to-client ratio, allowing us to respond immediately to each teen’s needs.
Our team combines medical expertise with therapeutic support, incorporating individual counseling and group sessions even during this initial phase of treatment.
Through careful medication management and continuous assessment, we help teens maneuver this vital first step while preparing them for the next phase of their recovery journey.

Our daily schedule integrates two hours of academics with local school districts, individual and group therapy sessions, and recreational activities to guarantee your teen’s overall well-being and continued educational progress.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We acknowledge parents have many questions about our teen rehabilitation program, from insurance coverage and visitation policies to educational support and living arrangements.
Through our thorough family-focused approach, we offer regular visitation opportunities on Sundays, maintain educational continuity through partnerships with local schools, and provide both private and semi-private room options to guarantee comfort during treatment.
Our admissions team is ready to address your specific concerns about insurance coverage, family support programs, and any other aspects of our adolescent treatment services, as we believe clear communication helps families make informed decisions about their teenager’s care.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Parents can rest assured that insurance typically covers all or part of teen addiction treatment costs. Thanks to regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), insurance companies must provide coverage for substance use disorder treatment as an essential health benefit.
At Guardian Recovery’s Montville Adolescent Center, we accept most major insurance plans and work diligently to maximize your coverage benefits. While treatment costs vary based on individual needs and length of stay, our experienced admissions team will verify your insurance benefits and provide a detailed breakdown of any out-of-pocket expenses.
We’ll also investigate additional payment options if you don’t have insurance or need supplemental coverage. We encourage you to contact our admissions counselors for a free, confidential consultation to discuss your specific insurance coverage and financial options.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Visiting loved ones during treatment plays an important role in the recovery process at Montville Adolescent Center. We welcome family visits every Sunday during designated hours, understanding that maintaining these significant connections supports our teens’ healing journey.
To guarantee a therapeutic environment, we’ve established clear visitation guidelines: visitors must be family members or guardians who are at least 18 years old, and all visits require prior approval from our clinical staff.
Additionally, we require visitors to participate in a Family Support Session before their first visit, which helps create a more meaningful and supportive interaction.
Through these structured visits, we’ve found that teens maintain stronger family bonds while developing the skills they need for long-term recovery, making visitation an essential component of our thorough treatment approach.
Do you offer support to family members?
Recognizing that family involvement is essential for lasting recovery, our thorough support system includes regular family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and ongoing communication with our clinical team.
Through structured weekly sessions, we work closely with families to address core issues, establish healthy boundaries, and develop effective communication strategies that support long-term sobriety.
Our extensive family support program features specialized components designed to empower parents and siblings, including psychoeducational groups that investigate addiction’s impact on family dynamics, coping skills workshops that provide practical tools for supporting recovery at home, and regular progress updates from our treatment team.
Additionally, we offer resources for continuing care after treatment, connecting families with local support groups and counseling services to maintain the progress achieved during their teen’s stay at Montville.
What educational coordination is offered?
Montville’s educational coordination guarantees teens stay on track academically during treatment. We partner directly with each client’s home school district to secure attendance credits and maintain curriculum alignment throughout their stay.
Our program includes two dedicated hours of structured academics daily, complemented by physical education activities.
To support ongoing education, we’ve established relationships with local schools, allowing us to integrate coursework seamlessly into our treatment schedule. Our staff coordinates with teachers and guidance counselors to obtain assignments, facilitate testing, and monitor academic progress.
This all-encompassing approach means that when teens return to their regular school environment, they haven’t fallen behind in their studies. Additionally, we provide tutoring support and structured study periods to help students manage their coursework while focusing on their recovery.
Will my teenager have their own room?
While we offer both private and semi-private room options at Montville Adolescent Center, most teens share a room with one other resident of the same gender on gender-specific housing floors.
Our roommate arrangements are carefully coordinated by our clinical team to guarantee compatibility and create opportunities for peer support during the recovery journey.
Each room is thoughtfully designed to provide a comfortable, therapeutic environment where teens can feel safe and at home during their stay.
We’ve equipped the rooms with essential furnishings and storage space while maintaining a clutter-free atmosphere that promotes focus and healing.
For teens who may require additional privacy due to specific clinical needs, we’ll evaluate private room arrangements on a case-by-case basis in consultation with our treatment team and the family.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medications play an essential role in our treatment approach, and our medical team carefully manages all prescription needs. Before making any medication changes, we’ll discuss them thoroughly with parents or guardians to guarantee everyone understands and approves of the treatment plan.
We work closely with your teen’s existing healthcare providers, which is why we request a signed Release of Information (ROI) form to facilitate communication about past treatments and future care plans.
To guarantee seamless coordination of care, we’ll communicate with your teen’s psychiatrist or primary care provider about any medication adjustments made during their stay.
This collaborative approach helps us maintain consistency in their treatment while providing thorough updates about medication changes that may affect their post-treatment care plan.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Just as we maintain careful oversight of medications, our facility enforces clear behavioral guidelines to create a safe, structured environment for all teens in treatment.
Our rules prohibit any form of violence, bullying, or inappropriate physical contact, while also restricting the use of personal electronic devices, which can interfere with the recovery process. We require teens to follow their daily schedule, participate actively in therapy sessions, and maintain appropriate boundaries with peers and staff.
Additionally, we’ve established guidelines around personal items, dress code, and communication with those outside the facility to guarantee safety and maintain therapeutic focus.
While these rules may seem strict, they’re designed to create an environment where teens can focus entirely on their recovery journey, develop healthy habits, and learn valuable life skills that support long-term sobriety.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Sending your teenager to an out-of-state treatment facility often provides significant therapeutic advantages. When teens receive treatment away from their familiar environment, they’re removed from negative peer influences and triggers that may have contributed to their substance use.
This physical distance creates an opportunity for a fresh start and focused recovery.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that out-of-state treatment allows teens to fully immerse themselves in their recovery journey without the distractions of nearby friends or established patterns.
Our location, just 45 minutes from Manhattan, offers the perfect balance of accessibility and separation, while our 1:1 staff-to-client ratio guarantees your teen receives the individualized attention they need during this vital change period.
How do I get started?
Taking the first step toward teen rehabilitation is straightforward at Montville Adolescent Center. Our admission process begins with a simple phone call to our dedicated admissions team, who’ll guide you through a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment to guarantee we’re the right fit for your teenager’s needs.
Once we’ve completed the initial assessment, our team will verify your insurance benefits and discuss any financial considerations.
We’ll then work with you to arrange a convenient intake time that accommodates your schedule. During this process, we’ll provide detailed information about what to bring, program expectations, and answer any questions you might’ve about your teen’s upcoming stay.
Our goal is to make the shift into treatment as smooth and stress-free as possible for both you and your teenager.
