Anxiety Treatment
Three evidence-based approaches form the cornerstone of our anxiety treatment program for adolescents at Montville Adolescent Center: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and creative arts therapy, which work together to address anxiety’s complex manifestations.

Our trauma-focused treatment incorporates individual therapy sessions, where teens can safely examine their experiences with trained professionals, alongside specialized group therapy that builds peer support and understanding.
We utilize creative arts therapy as a gentle, non-verbal approach to trauma processing, allowing teens to express difficult emotions through painting, music, and drama.
Additionally, our family therapy sessions help create a supportive home environment by educating parents about trauma responses and developing strategies for long-term healing and recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We realize that families have many questions when considering teen rehab treatment, including concerns about insurance coverage, visitation policies, educational continuity, and living arrangements.
Our expert team provides thorough insurance verification services, maintains a structured Sunday visitation schedule for approved family members, and guarantees educational progress through daily academic support and coordination with each teen’s home school district.
While room arrangements vary between private and semi-private options, every aspect of our program integrates family support through regular therapy sessions, workshops, and ongoing communication to keep parents informed and involved throughout their teenager’s recovery journey.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers all or part of teen addiction treatment costs, 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 health benefits, including mental health and substance use disorder treatment, making recovery more accessible for families in need. That said, coverage varies by provider and plan, and costs vary accordingly.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we accept most insurance plans and work diligently to maximize your benefits.
While coverage varies by plan, we’ll help verify your benefits and explain exactly what’s covered.
Our admissions team can perform a complimentary insurance check to determine your out-of-pocket costs, and if you don’t have insurance, we’ll discuss alternative payment options to guarantee your teen gets the care they need.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
While your teen’s treatment journey focuses on recovery, maintaining family connections remains a core part of the healing process.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve established structured visitation opportunities every Sunday during designated hours, allowing families to stay connected while respecting the treatment process.
To ensure a supportive environment for all our clients, we maintain specific guidelines for visitation.
Family members and guardians who are at least 18 years old are welcome to visit, but they must first receive approval from our clinical staff.
Additionally, we require visitors to participate in a Family Support Session before their first visit. This session helps create a more meaningful and therapeutically beneficial interaction between teens and their loved ones during visitation time.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family involvement plays an essential role in teen recovery success, which is why our program incorporates extensive support services for parents and guardians. We provide weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular progress updates to help families understand their teen’s treatment journey and develop effective communication strategies.
Throughout your teen’s stay at Montville Adolescent Center, we’ll equip you with resources and tools to support your child’s recovery, including guidance on setting healthy boundaries, recognizing warning signs, and creating a supportive home environment.
Our clinical team works closely with families to address underlying issues, heal relationships, and establish a strong foundation for long-term success. Additionally, we connect parents with support groups and community resources to guarantee they’ve the ongoing assistance they need during and after their teen’s treatment.
What educational coordination is offered?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we partner directly with each teen’s home school district to maintain their academic progress during treatment. Our dedicated educational coordinators guarantee that students receive attendance credits and stay aligned with their school’s curriculum requirements, helping them shift smoothly back to their academic environment after completing treatment.
We structure each day to include two hours of focused academic time, combining traditional coursework with physical education activities.
Our staff works closely with teachers and school administrators to gather assignments, facilitate make-up work, and monitor progress throughout the treatment period. This all-encompassing approach guarantees that teens don’t fall behind academically while addressing their recovery needs, allowing them to maintain their educational momentum and graduate with their peers as planned.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Beyond academic support, parents often ask about living arrangements during treatment. At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options, with our housing floors arranged by gender to guarantee comfort and appropriate boundaries for all residents.
While we can’t promise private rooms for every teen, we carefully consider room assignments to create the most supportive environment possible.
Our living spaces are thoughtfully designed to promote both personal reflection and healthy social interaction, with each room providing a safe, structured setting that supports our therapeutic goals.
When making room assignments, we take into account various factors, including treatment needs, age, and clinical recommendations, while maintaining our commitment to providing individualized care within our 1:1 staff-to-client ratio environment.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medication management plays an essential role in our thorough treatment approach. At Montville Adolescent Center, we maintain clear communication with parents and guardians regarding any medication decisions, discussing all new prescriptions or changes to existing ones before implementation.
We’ll work closely with your teen’s current healthcare providers, including psychiatrists and primary care physicians, to guarantee continuity of care throughout their stay with us.
To facilitate this coordination, we ask parents to complete a Release of Information (ROI) form, which allows us to communicate effectively with your teen’s existing medical team.
This collaborative approach enables us to verify previous treatments and guarantee that any medication adjustments made during their stay are properly communicated for post-treatment care and follow-up.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Structure and rules form the foundation of successful teen rehabilitation at Montville Adolescent Center. We maintain clear behavioral expectations, including respect for staff and peers, participation in all scheduled activities, and adherence to our zero-tolerance policy for substance use or violence.
Our teens must follow daily schedules, attend all therapy sessions, complete academic assignments, and maintain appropriate boundaries with others.
We’ve established specific guidelines regarding personal belongings, dress code, and electronics use, while communication with family members follows structured protocols during designated times.
During their stay, teens are expected to engage actively in their treatment plan, practice newly learned coping skills, and demonstrate progress toward their recovery goals.
Through these consistent expectations, we create a therapeutic environment that promotes accountability, personal growth, and lasting behavioral change.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Choosing an out-of-state treatment facility for your teen often provides significant therapeutic advantages. At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences can create a crucial reset opportunity, allowing adolescents to focus entirely on their recovery journey.
Our location in Towaco, New Jersey, offers teens a fresh environment where they can build new, healthy patterns without daily exposure to challenging situations at home.
Additionally, out-of-state treatment can help break enabling patterns within family systems, as the structured visitation schedule encourages more meaningful, therapeutic interactions.
We’ve observed that teens often show increased engagement in treatment when they’re removed from their usual environment, and our thorough academic support guarantees they won’t fall behind in their studies while working on their recovery.
How do I get started?
Starting treatment at Montville Adolescent Center involves a straightforward, three-step process.
First, you’ll connect with our admissions team, who’ll conduct a brief 10-minute pre-assessment over the phone to guarantee we’re the right fit for your teen’s specific needs.
