Our thorough teen drug detox program offers 24/7 medical supervision and comfort management, while our teen residential treatment program provides intensive therapeutic interventions, academic support, and structured daily activities in a healing environment.
For teens who need flexible treatment options or continued care after residential treatment, we’ve developed a robust virtual teen rehab program that maintains the same evidence-based therapeutic approaches within a convenient, accessible format.
Our comprehensive approach ensures that every teen receives the necessary support for their journey to recovery through effective teen substance use disorder treatment.
Adolescent Drug Detox
Safe and medically supervised detoxification marks the crucial first step in a teen’s recovery journey.

Our specialized medical team carefully manages withdrawal symptoms through personalized protocols, including medication-assisted treatment when appropriate.
We’re committed to making this challenging phase as comfortable as possible, with our 1:1 staff-to-client ratio allowing us to respond immediately to any concerns.
During detox, we begin incorporating therapeutic elements that will support your teen’s ongoing recovery, including individual counseling and group support, while our medical professionals monitor critical signs and adjust treatment protocols as needed to maintain ideal care standards.

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 support and living arrangements.
Our dedicated team works closely with families to address common concerns, including coordinating with schools to maintain academic progress, arranging weekly family visits during treatment, and ensuring comfortable accommodations in either private or semi-private rooms.
Through our extensive insurance verification process and family-centered approach, we’re committed to making the treatment journey as smooth as possible while providing the highest level of care for your teenager.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers all or part of teen addiction treatment costs, thanks to two major healthcare regulations: the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
Under the ACA, insurance providers must cover essential health benefits, including substance use disorder treatment and mental health services, which means your teen’s rehabilitation care should be included in your coverage.
Additionally, the MHPAEA guarantees that insurers can’t impose stricter limitations on addiction and mental health benefits compared to medical benefits.
We accept most major insurance plans, and our admissions team will help verify your coverage and explain your benefits.
If you’re concerned about costs, we’ll work with you to investigate all available payment options, including payment plans and other financial arrangements.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Parents often inquire about visiting their teens during treatment, and we’ve established clear visitation policies to promote family involvement while supporting therapeutic progress.
Our structured visitation program occurs every Sunday during designated hours, allowing family members and guardians who are at least 18 years old to connect with their teens in person.
Prior to any visits, we require all potential visitors to obtain approval from our clinical staff and participate in a Family Support Session, which lays the groundwork for productive interactions.
This thoughtful approach ensures that visitation enhances, rather than disrupts, the therapeutic process while preserving essential family bonds.
We’ve observed that these supervised visits, along with our family therapy sessions, significantly contribute to long-term recovery success.
Do you offer support to family members?
Extensive family support forms a cornerstone of our teen rehabilitation program, recognizing that addiction impacts the entire family unit. We provide thorough resources through our weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and support groups that help parents and siblings understand addiction’s complexities while developing essential coping strategies.
Our family program includes regular updates on treatment progress, skill-building sessions for effective communication, and guidance on establishing healthy boundaries.
Additionally, we’ve created a structured Family Support Session, which is mandatory before visitation, where family members learn about our treatment approach and receive tools for supporting their teen’s recovery journey.
Through our multi-faceted family support system, we’re committed to healing not just the adolescent, but strengthening the entire family unit for long-term success.
What educational coordination is offered?
Throughout a teen’s stay at Montville Adolescent Center, we maintain active partnerships with their home school districts to guarantee educational continuity. Our dedicated academic program includes two daily hours of structured educational activities, ensuring students don’t fall behind in their studies while receiving treatment.
We collaborate closely with each student’s teachers and guidance counselors to align our curriculum with their school’s requirements, facilitating attendance credits and academic progress tracking.
Our staff coordinates assignments, tests, and projects with home schools, while providing supervised study time and educational support. Additionally, we’ll work with your teen’s school to develop a progression plan for their return, including any necessary accommodations or support services they’ll need to succeed academically post-treatment.
Will my teenager have their own room?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options for our teenage residents. Our thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize comfort, safety, and therapeutic recovery, with gender-specific housing floors that help maintain appropriate boundaries and create a supportive environment for healing.
We understand that personal space plays a vital role in the recovery journey, which is why we’ve carefully considered room arrangements that balance individual privacy with opportunities for appropriate social interaction.
While private rooms are available, many of our clients benefit from our semi-private accommodations, where they can develop positive peer relationships under careful staff supervision.
Each room is equipped with essential amenities and is regularly monitored to guarantee a secure, structured environment that supports our all-encompassing treatment approach.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medication management at Montville Adolescent Center operates under strict medical supervision, with parent/guardian involvement in all treatment decisions.
We’ll discuss any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions with parents or guardians before implementation, guaranteeing complete transparency in your teen’s treatment plan.
To provide thorough care coordination, we request that parents sign our Release of Information (ROI) form if their teen has an existing psychiatrist or primary care provider.
This authorization enables our medical team to communicate effectively with your teen’s healthcare providers, verify previous treatments, and guarantee proper documentation of any medication adjustments made during their stay.
Additionally, we’ll coordinate with these providers regarding post-treatment medication plans, creating a seamless shift for continued care after your teen completes our program.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
All teens at Montville Adolescent Center must follow clear behavioral guidelines designed to guarantee safety, respect, and successful treatment outcomes.
We maintain a structured environment where respect for staff, peers, and property is non-negotiable, and we’ve established specific rules about prohibited items, including cell phones, outside food, and personal electronics.
Our teens must participate in all scheduled activities, maintain appropriate boundaries, and follow our dress code policy.
We don’t permit any form of violence, bullying, or inappropriate physical contact, and we require all residents to respect others’ personal space and privacy.
Additionally, we’ve implemented strict protocols regarding medication compliance, proper hygiene, and scheduled wake-up and bedtimes, which help create the stability necessary for successful recovery and personal growth.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Sending your teenager out of state for treatment often provides significant therapeutic advantages. Physical distance from negative influences, including problematic friend groups and familiar triggers, can create a fresh environment for recovery and personal growth.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that out-of-state teens benefit from a thorough break from their usual routines and social pressures.
Additionally, geographic separation often strengthens family dynamics by encouraging more intentional, structured communication through our family therapy programs.
While distance may initially feel challenging, we’ve observed that it frequently leads to more focused treatment outcomes, as teens can’t easily leave the program when facing difficult emotional work.
Our location, accessible from multiple states while maintaining therapeutic distance, offers an ideal balance for families seeking extensive care.
How do I get started?
Starting the admission process for your teen is straightforward and begins with a simple phone call to our admissions team. During this initial contact, our dedicated counselors will conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment to confirm we’re the right fit for your child’s specific needs.
Once we’ve completed the pre-assessment, we’ll work directly with you to verify your insurance benefits and discuss any financial considerations. If you don’t have insurance coverage, we’ll investigate alternative payment options to make treatment accessible.
After addressing the administrative aspects, we’ll coordinate a convenient intake time that works for your family. Throughout this process, our experienced team remains committed to making your teen’s shift into our program as seamless as possible, while answering any questions or concerns you may have.
