How We Address Adolescent Behavioral & Mental Health in Treatment
At Montville Adolescent Center, we recognize that mental health challenges like anxiety, depression, and trauma often accompany substance use disorders in teens.
This is why our all-encompassing treatment programs address these conditions simultaneously. Our experienced clinical team specializes in evidence-based therapies for anxiety, including CBT and DBT, while providing trauma-informed care that helps teens process difficult experiences safely, particularly those related to trauma and PTSD.
Through our integrated approach to behavioral health and addiction treatment, including comprehensive teen rehab, we’re committed to helping teens develop healthy coping mechanisms, build emotional resilience, and create a strong foundation for lasting recovery.
Anxiety Treatment
Addressing anxiety is a cornerstone of our adolescent treatment program, as we recognize that many teens struggling with substance use also face underlying anxiety disorders.
We’ve developed a thorough approach that combines evidence-based therapies like CBT and DBT with holistic stress-reduction techniques to help teens manage their anxiety symptoms effectively.
Our treatment strategy integrates individual counseling sessions, where we work one-on-one with teens to identify anxiety triggers and develop personalized coping mechanisms, with group therapy that allows them to share experiences and learn from peers.
Through our creative arts therapy program, we’re also helping anxious teens express their feelings nonverbally, while our structured daily routines provide the predictability and stability that many anxiety sufferers need to feel secure and supported throughout their recovery journey.
Treatment for Depression
Depression treatment at Montville Adolescent Center integrates specialized therapeutic approaches designed specifically for teens facing both substance use and depressive disorders.
We combine evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), to address the complex interplay between depression and addiction.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that families have many questions when considering teen rehabilitation, from insurance coverage and visitation policies to educational continuity and living arrangements.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we work closely with insurance providers to maximize coverage, offer weekly family visits and therapy sessions, and maintain academic progress through partnerships with local schools.
Our facility provides both private and semi-private rooms in a gender-specific arrangement, ensuring comfort and appropriate accommodations throughout your teenager’s recovery journey.
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).
We accept most major insurance plans and can help verify your coverage to determine what portion of treatment will be covered.
Under the ACA, insurance providers must include mental health and substance use disorder treatment as essential health benefits, while the MHPAEA guarantees that coverage for addiction treatment isn’t more restrictive than coverage for medical conditions.
Our admissions team will work directly with your insurance provider to maximize your benefits and explain any out-of-pocket costs.
If you don’t have insurance coverage, we’ll discuss alternative payment options to guarantee your teen can access the care they need.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Family connection remains an essential part of the recovery journey at Montville Adolescent Center. We facilitate regular visitation opportunities every Sunday during designated hours, allowing parents and guardians to maintain meaningful contact with their teens throughout the treatment process.
To guarantee the safety and therapeutic integrity of our program, we’ve established specific guidelines for visitation. All visitors must be at least 18 years old and are limited to family members and legal guardians who’ve received prior approval from our clinical staff.
Additionally, we require visitors to participate in our Family Support Sessions before their first visit, which helps create a more supportive environment for our teens’ recovery. This structured approach to visitation helps maintain the delicate balance between family involvement and therapeutic progress.
Do you offer support to family members?
Three core components of family support are integrated into our extensive treatment approach at Montville Adolescent Center.
First, we provide comprehensive family therapy sessions that address fundamental relationship dynamics and establish effective communication patterns.
Second, we offer regular educational workshops where family members learn about addiction, mental health, and essential coping strategies.
Third, we maintain consistent communication through progress updates and family support sessions.
Our dedicated clinical team understands that successful recovery extends beyond the individual, which is why we’ve developed a robust family support system that includes scheduled visitation opportunities, educational resources, and ongoing guidance.
We’ll work closely with your family to create a supportive environment that fosters healing and promotes long-term recovery success for your teen.
What educational coordination is offered?
Montville Adolescent Center’s educational coordination guarantees students maintain their academic progress while receiving treatment.
We partner directly with each client’s home school district to confirm attendance credits and maintain curriculum alignment during their stay. Our program includes two dedicated hours of structured academics daily, integrated seamlessly with therapeutic activities.
We understand that education shouldn’t pause during recovery, which is why we’ve developed extensive partnerships with local schools to facilitate a smooth academic change.
Our staff coordinates with teachers and guidance counselors to obtain current assignments, arrange for testing when needed, and confirm students stay on track with their studies.
We’ll work closely with your teen’s school to develop an individualized educational plan that supports both their recovery and academic goals.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Accommodation options at our facility include both private and semi-private rooms, with room assignments carefully determined based on clinical considerations and availability.
We recognize that room arrangements play a vital role in our teens’ comfort and therapeutic progress, which is why we maintain gender-specific housing floors to guarantee appropriate boundaries and safety.
When making room assignments, our clinical team evaluates multiple factors, including treatment needs, therapeutic compatibility, and individual circumstances that might affect room placement.
While we can’t promise private rooms for every client, we’re committed to creating living arrangements that support each teen’s recovery journey.
Our rooms are thoughtfully designed to provide a comfortable, structured environment where adolescents can focus on their treatment while maintaining appropriate levels of privacy and supervision.
Do you prescribe medications?
Questions about medication management are common among parents considering our teen treatment program. We take a careful, collaborative approach to medication management during your teen’s treatment stay, guaranteeing both safety and effectiveness.
Any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions are thoroughly discussed with parents or guardians before implementation.
We encourage parents to sign our Release of Information (ROI) form if their teen has an existing psychiatrist or primary care provider. This authorization allows us to communicate directly with your teen’s healthcare providers, verify previous treatment protocols, and coordinate any medication adjustments during their stay.
This all-encompassing approach guarantees continuity of care and enables us to effectively communicate medication plans for post-treatment success.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Our teen treatment program maintains clear behavioral guidelines to create a safe, structured, and therapeutic environment. We require all participants to follow our core rules, which include maintaining respectful behavior toward staff and peers, attending all scheduled therapy sessions and activities, and adhering to our zero-tolerance policy for substance use or possession.
Additionally, we’ve established specific guidelines around appropriate dress code, designated quiet hours, and restricted use of electronic devices to minimize distractions and promote focus on recovery.
To guarantee everyone’s safety and success in the program, we expect teens to participate actively in their treatment plan, complete assigned therapeutic work, and follow our structured daily schedule.
Parents and guardians receive an extensive handbook during admission that outlines all program expectations and consequences for rule violations.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Sending your teenager to an out-of-state treatment facility can offer several strategic advantages for their recovery. At Guardian Recovery, we’ve found that physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences often helps teens focus more intently on their healing journey.
The change in environment can create a fresh perspective, allowing adolescents to break free from established patterns and peer pressures that may have contributed to their substance use.
While our Montville Adolescent Center is conveniently located in New Jersey, we regularly welcome teens from across the country who benefit from our specialized programs.
The geographic separation also provides an opportunity for families to reset dynamics and establish healthier communication patterns through our structured family therapy sessions, while our academic support guarantees your teen stays on track with their education regardless of location.
How do I get started?
Getting started with teen addiction treatment involves a straightforward, three-step process at Montville Adolescent Center.
First, you’ll connect with our admissions team, who’ll conduct a brief 10-minute phone assessment to guarantee we’re the right fit for your teen’s specific needs and circumstances.
Next, we’ll work with you to verify your insurance benefits and discuss payment options, providing clear information about coverage and any potential out-of-pocket expenses.
Finally, once we’ve completed these preliminary steps, we’ll schedule your teen’s intake appointment at our facility in Towaco, New Jersey.
Throughout this process, our dedicated counselors will guide you, answer your questions, and guarantee you understand each step, making the shift into treatment as smooth as possible for both you and your teenager.
