How We Address Adolescent Behavioral & Mental Health in Treatment

Our specialized trauma therapists work one-on-one with adolescents to identify triggers, manage flashbacks, and reduce anxiety symptoms.

Our medical professionals work closely with each teen’s family and healthcare providers, coordinating medication management and developing individualized treatment plans that address both the physical aspects of withdrawal and the underlying factors contributing to substance use.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that families have many questions about our teen rehab program, from insurance coverage and visitation policies to educational support and living arrangements.
Through our thorough FAQ section, we’ll address your most pressing concerns about treatment costs, family involvement, academic continuity, and the structured environment we provide for adolescents in recovery.
Our experienced admissions team is ready to walk you through additional questions about insurance verification, payment options, and the admissions process, ensuring you have all the information needed to make informed decisions about your teenager’s care.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Treatment costs at Montville Adolescent Center are typically covered by insurance, thanks to key federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
Under these laws, insurance providers must cover essential health benefits, including substance use disorder treatment and mental health services, at the same level as medical care.
We’re pleased to accept most major insurance plans, and our admissions team will verify your benefits to determine coverage specifics.
For families without insurance, we offer additional payment options to guarantee access to care.
We recognize that managing insurance coverage can feel overwhelming, which is why our dedicated counselors will work closely with you to explain benefits, coverage levels, and any out-of-pocket costs, making the process as straightforward as possible.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Supporting family connections remains central to recovery success. At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve established structured visitation opportunities every Sunday during designated hours, allowing parents and guardians to maintain meaningful contact with their teens throughout treatment.
To guarantee a therapeutic environment and maintain program integrity, we’ve implemented specific visitation guidelines that require all visitors to be at least 18 years old and limited to immediate family members or legal guardians.
Before any visits can occur, our clinical staff must approve each visitor, and family members are required to participate in a Family Support Session. This preparation helps create productive, supportive interactions that complement your teen’s treatment journey while maintaining appropriate boundaries and therapeutic protocols within our facility.
Do you offer support to family members?
Throughout a teen’s recovery journey, family involvement plays an essential role in long-term success, which is why our program offers thorough support services for parents and guardians. We provide weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular progress updates to guarantee families remain actively engaged in their teen’s treatment process.
Our all-encompassing family support program includes specialized components such as multi-family group therapy sessions, where parents can connect with others facing similar challenges, and skills-based training to help families develop effective communication strategies.
Additionally, we’ll work closely with you to create a sustainable aftercare plan, providing resources and guidance for maintaining recovery progress once your teen returns home. Our dedicated family liaison team is always available to address concerns and answer questions throughout your teen’s stay at Montville Adolescent Center.
What educational coordination is offered?
Beyond family support, academics remain a top priority at Montville Adolescent Center. We work closely with each teen’s home school district to guarantee they don’t fall behind during treatment, coordinating curriculum requirements and attendance credits for a seamless educational experience.
Our program includes two hours of structured academic time daily, where students receive individualized attention and support to maintain their studies.
We’ve established partnerships with local schools to align our educational programming with standard curricula, making the shift back to regular schooling smoother after treatment. Our staff regularly communicates with teachers and school administrators, confirming that academic progress continues while teens focus on their recovery.
We provide progress reports to both families and schools throughout the treatment process.
Will my teenager have their own room?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options for teens in our treatment program.
Our thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize comfort, safety, and recovery, with gender-specific housing floors that help create an environment where teens can focus on their healing journey.
We’ve found that having options for room arrangements allows us to accommodate different needs and preferences while maintaining our therapeutic environment.
While private rooms offer additional personal space and privacy, our semi-private rooms provide opportunities for appropriate peer interaction and support under careful supervision.
In both settings, we maintain our specialized 1:1 staff-to-client ratio to guarantee consistent monitoring and support, while our clinical team regularly assesses room assignments to guarantee ideal therapeutic outcomes for each teen.
Do you prescribe medications?
When it comes to medication management, our medical team carefully evaluates each teen’s needs and works closely with parents or guardians before making any prescription decisions.
We’ll never make changes to existing medications or prescribe new ones without first discussing it with you and obtaining your approval.
If your teenager currently has a psychiatrist or primary care provider who manages their medications, we’ll ask you to sign a Release of Information (ROI) form.
This documentation allows us to communicate directly with these healthcare providers during your teen’s stay, which is essential for verifying previous treatment protocols and coordinating any medication adjustments.
Through this collaborative approach, we guarantee seamless communication about your child’s medication plan, both during their time with us and as they shift back to their regular care providers.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Our teen treatment program maintains clear behavioral guidelines and expectations to create a safe, structured environment where recovery can flourish.
We require all teens to follow our code of conduct, which includes respecting staff and peers, maintaining appropriate boundaries, and participating fully in all scheduled activities and therapies.
Additionally, we don’t allow cell phones or other personal electronic devices during treatment, as these can interfere with the recovery process and therapeutic environment.
Since we prioritize both safety and recovery, there’s zero tolerance for violence, substance use, or inappropriate relationships between clients.
While these rules may seem strict, they’re essential for creating the structured, supportive atmosphere that’s proven most effective for adolescent recovery and personal growth.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Sending a teenager to an out-of-state treatment facility can offer several key advantages for their recovery journey.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences creates a fresh environment for healing and personal growth. The separation also helps teens focus entirely on their recovery without daily distractions from local peer groups or environmental stressors.
We’ve observed that out-of-state treatment can strengthen family dynamics through structured, intentional interactions during family therapy sessions, rather than impromptu visits that might disrupt the therapeutic process.
Additionally, receiving care away from home often reduces the stigma associated with treatment, as teens don’t have to worry about running into classmates or neighbors while attending our program in Towaco, New Jersey.
How do I get started?
Getting started with teen addiction treatment is straightforward and confidential at Montville Adolescent Center. Our dedicated admissions team begins with a brief, 10-minute phone assessment to guarantee we’re the right fit for your teenager’s specific needs and circumstances.
After completing the initial assessment, we’ll verify your insurance benefits, if applicable, and discuss any additional payment options that may be necessary.
Once the financial arrangements are confirmed, we’ll work with you to schedule an intake appointment that accommodates your family’s schedule.
Throughout this process, our experienced admissions counselors will guide you through each step, answer your questions, and address any concerns you may have about your teen’s treatment journey with us.
We’re committed to making the admission process as seamless as possible during this challenging time.
