How We Address Adolescent Behavioral & Mental Health in Treatment
At our New Jersey teen treatment center, we recognize that mental health challenges like anxiety, depression, and trauma often accompany substance use disorders. This is why we provide extensive, evidence-based care for these co-occurring conditions.
We’ve developed specialized therapeutic approaches that address the complex interplay between mental health symptoms and addiction, ensuring each teen receives targeted support for their unique combination of challenges.
For instance, our programs specifically focus on anxiety management, depression treatment, and addressing trauma and PTSD.
Through our integrated treatment model, we’re able to help teens build resilience against anxiety and depression while processing trauma experiences, all within our structured, supportive environment that promotes lasting recovery.
Our comprehensive approach is a critical component of our teen rehab program.
Anxiety Treatment
Through extensive anxiety treatment programs, we integrate evidence-based therapies to help teens manage and overcome anxiety disorders while addressing co-occurring substance use.
Our approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in both individual and group settings, where teens learn to identify anxiety triggers and develop healthy coping mechanisms.
We utilize a thorough treatment strategy that includes therapeutic modalities like creative arts therapy and psychoeducation, allowing teens to express their anxiety through various outlets while gaining understanding of their conditions.
Our 1:1 staff-to-client ratio guarantees personalized attention as we work with each teen to establish stress reduction techniques, mindfulness practices, and communication skills.
Through family therapy sessions, we also help parents understand their child’s anxiety and provide tools for supporting their teen’s ongoing recovery journey.
Treatment for Depression

Through our thorough approach at Montville Adolescent Center, we integrate evidence-based therapies like CBT and DBT with creative arts therapy to address the complex relationship between depression and substance use.
We understand that depression often manifests differently in teenagers than adults, which is why we’ve developed specialized therapeutic interventions that specifically target adolescent depression symptoms.
Our dedicated clinical team provides daily monitoring, medication management when necessary, and regular individual therapy sessions, while our group therapy programs help teens develop essential coping mechanisms and peer support networks.
We’ll work closely with your family to create a strong support system that extends beyond our facility’s walls.
Trauma & PTSD
Depression and substance use often stem from underlying trauma, which shapes how we approach behavioral and mental health treatment at Montville Adolescent Center.
We recognize that traumatic experiences and PTSD can greatly impact a teen’s emotional well-being, relationships, and daily functioning, which is why we integrate trauma-informed care throughout our program.
Our specialized trauma treatment combines evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), with creative arts therapy to help teens process their experiences safely.

Our Levels of Care for Teen Substance Use Recovery in New Jersey
At Guardian Recovery’s Montville Adolescent Center, we provide three comprehensive levels of care tailored to support teens on their recovery journey from substance use.
This includes medically supervised detox, residential inpatient treatment, and virtual outpatient services. Our teen drug detox program offers 24/7 clinical support to safely manage withdrawal symptoms, while our teen residential treatment delivers intensive therapeutic interventions in a structured and healing environment.
For teens who require ongoing support while balancing their daily activities, we offer virtual teen rehab that provides evidence-based care through secure telehealth sessions, ensuring consistent access to recovery resources and professional guidance.
Additionally, our programs focus on addressing teen substance use disorder treatment to promote lasting recovery.
Adolescent Drug Detox
Breaking free from drug dependency starts with professional medical detoxification. At our Montville Adolescent Center, we provide extensive medical supervision during the withdrawal process, ensuring your teen’s safety and comfort as their body adjusts to functioning without substances.
Our experienced medical team monitors essential signs around the clock while administering FDA-approved medications to manage withdrawal symptoms effectively.
We understand that detox can be an intimidating process, which is why we maintain a supportive 1:1 staff-to-client ratio throughout this important phase.
During detox, our team creates individualized treatment plans that address both the physical and emotional aspects of withdrawal, incorporating therapeutic support to help teens begin processing their experiences.
As your child progresses through detox, we’ll seamlessly shift them into our residential program, where they’ll continue their journey toward lasting recovery.
Teen Residential Inpatient Treatment
Guardian Recovery’s residential inpatient program consistently delivers extensive care through our specialized Montville Adolescent Center, where teens receive around-the-clock support in a structured therapeutic environment.

We’ve designed our program to provide both clinical excellence and comfort, offering private and semi-private rooms, chef-prepared meals, and recreational facilities that support holistic healing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize parents have many questions about our teen rehab program, from insurance coverage and family visits to educational support and living arrangements.
Our experienced team provides thorough answers about medical care, family therapy sessions, academic coordination with home schools, and our semi-private room accommodations designed specifically for adolescents.
Through regular family visits, continuing education support, and insurance coverage options, we’ve created a program that addresses both immediate treatment needs and long-term recovery success.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance coverage for teen addiction treatment is typically extensive, thanks to key healthcare regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
These laws guarantee that insurance providers must cover essential mental health and substance use disorder treatments, preventing them from imposing unfair limitations on addiction care benefits. That said, coverage varies by provider and plan, and costs vary accordingly.
We’re pleased to accept most major insurance plans, and we’ll work directly with your provider to maximize your coverage for your teen’s treatment.
To understand your specific coverage and potential out-of-pocket costs, we encourage you to contact our admissions team for a complimentary benefits verification.
Even if you don’t have insurance, we offer various payment options to help make treatment accessible, and our counselors will guide you through all available financial solutions.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Visiting your teen during treatment is an essential part of their recovery journey at Montville Adolescent Center. We schedule family visitation every Sunday during designated hours, allowing parents and guardians to maintain important connections while their teens progress through treatment.
To ensure a therapeutic environment, we’ve established specific guidelines for these visits. Only approved family members and guardians who are 18 years or older may visit, and all visitors must first receive clearance from our clinical staff.
Additionally, we require visitors to participate in a Family Support Session prior to their first visit, which helps foster a more meaningful and supportive interaction. This structured approach allows us to maintain security while nurturing the family connections that are fundamental to your teen’s recovery process.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family support forms a cornerstone of our thorough treatment approach at Montville Adolescent Center. We recognize that addiction affects the entire family unit, which is why we’ve developed extensive support services, including weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular progress updates to keep parents informed and involved.
Our family-focused programming includes specialized parent support groups, where families can connect with others facing similar challenges, while learning effective communication strategies and coping mechanisms.
We also provide detailed resources and guidance on post-treatment planning, ensuring families feel equipped to support their teen’s recovery journey. Additionally, our clinical team maintains open lines of communication with parents throughout treatment, offering insights into their teen’s progress and answering questions about the recovery process.
What educational coordination is offered?
Educational coordination at Montville Adolescent Center guarantees teens stay on track academically during treatment.
We partner directly with each client’s home school district to confirm attendance credits and maintain curriculum alignment, while providing two dedicated hours of structured academics daily.
Our extensive academic support includes constant communication with schools, customized learning plans that match each student’s current coursework, and progress monitoring to facilitate a smooth shift back to regular classes after treatment.
We recognize that maintaining educational momentum is essential for long-term success, which is why we’ve integrated academics as a fundamental component of our treatment program.
Through our collaborative approach with school districts, we’re able to help students continue their studies while focusing on their recovery, making certain they don’t fall behind during this pivotal time.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Room arrangements at Montville Adolescent Center offer both private and semi-private options for teens in treatment. While we can’t guarantee private room placement, we carefully consider each teen’s unique circumstances, clinical needs, and treatment goals when making room assignments.
Our gender-specific housing floors guarantee appropriate accommodations that promote comfort and security during the recovery process.
In our semi-private rooms, we thoughtfully pair residents while maintaining therapeutic benefits and considering individual personalities and recovery stages. Each room, whether private or shared, provides a safe, structured environment where teens can focus on their recovery journey.
We’ve designed our living spaces to balance personal privacy with the social support that’s often beneficial in treatment, assuring that your teen has both quiet space for reflection and opportunities for peer connection.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medical oversight is central to our treatment approach at Montville Adolescent Center. When prescribing or adjusting medications for your teen, we’ll always discuss changes with you first, making sure you’re fully informed and comfortable with the treatment plan.
If your child already has a psychiatrist or primary care provider who manages their medications, we’ll work closely with them throughout the treatment process.
To facilitate this coordination of care, we’ll ask you to sign a Release of Information (ROI) form, which allows us to communicate directly with your teen’s existing healthcare providers.
This collaboration helps us verify previous treatments and guarantee a seamless shift of medication management both during your teen’s stay and after they complete our program.
We’re committed to maintaining open communication with families while providing the highest standard of medical care.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we maintain a structured environment with clear behavioral guidelines to guarantee safety and promote recovery.
All teens must follow our core rules, which include respecting staff and peers, participating in all scheduled activities, maintaining appropriate boundaries, and following our dress code. We don’t permit cell phones or personal electronic devices, and communication with those outside the facility is limited to approved family members and guardians.
Additionally, we expect teens to adhere to our daily schedule, which includes attending all therapy sessions, educational programs, and structured activities.
Our behavioral guidelines extend to personal spaces, where teens must keep their rooms tidy and respect communal areas. These rules create a therapeutic environment where everyone feels secure and can focus on their recovery journey.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Beyond establishing rules and structure, many parents wonder about the advantages of choosing an out-of-state treatment facility for their teen.
We’ve found that distance from home often creates a beneficial therapeutic environment, allowing teens to focus entirely on their recovery without familiar triggers and negative influences. Out-of-state treatment at our Montville Adolescent Center offers a fresh start in a new environment, where teens can’t easily contact peers who may have enabled their substance use.
Additionally, our location’s distance provides a natural boundary that helps prevent impulsive leaving, while our serene New Jersey setting, just 45 minutes from Manhattan, combines accessibility with the right amount of separation.
We’ve seen that this geographical change often leads to deeper engagement in treatment and stronger commitment to recovery.
How do I get started?
Starting your teenager’s recovery journey is straightforward with our simple admission process. When you contact our admissions team, one of our dedicated counselors will conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment over the phone to verify we’re the right fit for your child’s specific needs.
After completing this initial evaluation, we’ll verify your insurance benefits, if applicable, and discuss any additional payment options that may be necessary.
Once we’ve addressed the financial aspects, we’ll work with you to arrange a convenient intake time that accommodates your schedule.
Throughout this process, our experienced staff remains available to answer any questions you may have about our programs, facility, or treatment approaches.
We recognize this can be a challenging time, which is why we’ve designed our admission process to be as seamless as possible.
