Teen & Adolescent Drug & Alcohol Rehab Near Union Township, New Jersey

Our Approach to Adolescent Behavioral Health & Mental Health Treatment 

We believe in an empowerment-based, holistic method to addressing adolescent substance use and mental health concerns. Our approach focuses on drawing out each teen’s unique strengths and talents, and teaching them the skills they’ll need to avoid substance use, cultivate true well-being, improve health, and sustain long-term sobriety.

Prior to starting treatment, our treatment team will conduct a comprehensive evaluation with your teen to examine all of their medical, psychological, emotional, social, and educational needs. We’ll then develop a multifaceted, integrated, and personalized treatment plan for your child based on our findings. Our program focuses on treating the underlying influences that led to the substance use, not just the overt physical or mental health symptoms.

Our Levels of Care for Teen Substance Use Recovery 

Individuals dealing with a substance use disorder often require more than one level of treatment. In fact, a gradual step down from intensive levels to increasingly lower levels of care is proven to provide the best opportunity for long-term healing. At Montville Adolescent Center, we provide various levels of care including: 

• Adolescent Medical Detox 
• Teen Residential Inpatient Treatment 
• Virtual Treatment 
• Aftercare Planning 

Additionally, as a Guardian Recovery facility, Montville Adolescent Center offers the opportunity for teens to easily transition to one of our other adolescent facilities following medical detox and residential care. That is, Guardian Recovery also offers outpatient programs—specifically a partial hospitalization program (PHP) with or without housing and an intensive outpatient program (IOP)—allowing teens to continue their recovery and fostering increased likelihood of positive long-term outcomes and recovery.
