Our Levels of Care for Teen Substance Use Recovery in New Jersey

At Guardian Recovery’s Montville Adolescent Center in New Jersey, we provide three comprehensive levels of care designed to assist teens facing substance use disorders.

Our continuum of care begins with a medically supervised adolescent drug detox, also known as our teen drug detox program, which lays the foundation for recovery.

From there, we transition into our residential inpatient treatment program, offering specialized therapeutic and academic support, referred to as teen residential treatment.

Finally, we extend our services to include virtual treatment options for ongoing recovery maintenance through our virtual teen rehab services.

Our structured programs are tailored to meet each teen where they’re in their recovery journey, ensuring they receive the appropriate support and clinical intervention necessary for sustainable healing.

Adolescent Drug Detox

Through our specialized adolescent drug detox program, we provide extensive medical supervision and support for teens beginning their journey to recovery. Our experienced medical team closely monitors essential signs, manages withdrawal symptoms, and guarantees each teen’s safety throughout the detoxification process, which typically occurs at our Montville Adolescent Center in Towaco, New Jersey.

We’ve designed our detox program to address both the physical and emotional challenges of withdrawal, incorporating therapeutic support alongside medical care. During this critical phase, we maintain a 1:1 staff-to-client ratio, allowing us to respond immediately to any concerns while providing individualized attention.

Our all-encompassing approach includes medication management when necessary, regular medical check-ins, and the introduction of coping strategies that will serve as building blocks for long-term recovery.

Teen Residential Inpatient Treatment

Guardian Recovery’s residential inpatient program serves as the cornerstone of our teen addiction treatment services, providing structured 24/7 care at our Montville Adolescent Center in New Jersey.

Our extensive approach integrates medical supervision, therapeutic interventions, and academic support with a personalized 1:1 staff-to-client ratio, ensuring each teen receives individualized attention throughout their recovery journey.

We’ve designed our program to address both substance use disorders and underlying behavioral issues through evidence-based therapies, including CBT, DBT, and creative arts therapy.

During their stay, teens participate in daily medical check-ins, structured academic sessions, individual counseling, and various group therapies while maintaining educational progress through our partnerships with local schools.

Family involvement remains central to our treatment model, with regular therapy sessions and workshops fostering stronger family dynamics and supporting long-term recovery success.

Virtual Adolescent Treatment

While residential treatment offers extensive care, our virtual adolescent program brings professional addiction treatment directly into your home. We deliver thorough therapy sessions through secure video conferencing, allowing teens to maintain their daily routines while receiving expert care for substance use disorders.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program

We recognize parents have many questions about our teen rehab program, including concerns about insurance coverage, visitation policies, family support programs, educational continuity, and living arrangements.

Through our thorough insurance verification process, we’ll help determine your coverage options, while our weekly family therapy sessions and Sunday visitation hours keep loved ones connected throughout treatment.

Our academic coordination guarantees teens stay on track with their studies, and we offer both private and semi-private rooms in our gender-specific housing floors to promote comfort and security during recovery.

Does insurance cover treatment?

Insurance typically covers all or part of addiction treatment costs, thanks to federal 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 substance use disorder treatment and mental health services. That said, coverage varies by provider and plan.

We accept most major insurance plans and can help verify your coverage through our admissions team, who’ll work directly with your insurance provider to determine your specific benefits. During this process, we’ll identify any potential out-of-pocket expenses and discuss payment options if needed. For families without insurance coverage, we offer various payment arrangements to make treatment accessible.

To understand your coverage and potential costs, we encourage you to contact our admissions counselors for a confidential benefits verification, which we’ll complete at no cost to you.

Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?

Since maintaining family connections is vital during recovery, parents and guardians can visit their teens at Montville Adolescent Center during designated hours on Sundays.

During these structured visitation times, we guarantee a supportive environment that promotes healing and connection between teens and their families.

To participate in visitation, all visitors must be at least 18 years old and receive prior approval from our clinical staff.

We also require family members to attend a Family Support Session before visiting, which helps create a more meaningful and therapeutic interaction during visits.

This requirement allows us to provide guidance on effective communication strategies and ensure that visits contribute positively to your teen’s recovery journey while maintaining the structured environment that’s essential for their treatment success.

Do you offer support to family members?

Family involvement forms the cornerstone of our adolescent treatment program, which is why extensive support services are available to parents, siblings, and other family members throughout their teen’s recovery journey.

We provide weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and support groups designed to help families understand addiction, improve communication, and develop healthy coping strategies.

Our thorough family support includes regular progress updates from our clinical team, guidance on post-treatment planning, and resources for creating a supportive home environment.

We’ll work closely with you to address fundamental family dynamics, establish boundaries, and rebuild trust through structured interventions and therapeutic activities.

Additionally, we offer dedicated parent support groups where families can connect with others facing similar challenges, share experiences, and learn effective strategies for supporting their teen’s long-term recovery.

What educational coordination is offered?

Throughout treatment, we coordinate extensively with each teen’s home school district to maintain academic progress and guarantee a seamless educational experience. Our program dedicates two hours daily to structured academics, ensuring students don’t fall behind in their coursework while receiving treatment.

We’ve designed our educational support system to integrate smoothly with your teen’s regular curriculum, as we maintain active communication with their teachers and school administrators. Our staff works diligently to facilitate attendance credits and curriculum alignment, while providing specialized academic assistance when needed.

To support this thorough approach, we offer well-equipped classrooms and individualized attention through our 1:1 staff-to-client ratio, allowing us to address each student’s unique educational needs while they focus on their recovery journey.

Will my teenager have their own room?

Based on our facility’s layout and accommodations, teens have access to both private and semi-private room options at Montville Adolescent Center.

We recognize that comfortable living spaces are essential for recovery, which is why our gender-specific housing floors provide a safe and nurturing environment for all residents.

Our thoughtfully designed rooms incorporate elements that promote both healing and privacy, while our structured environment guarantees appropriate supervision and support.

When determining room assignments, we carefully consider each teen’s individual needs, treatment goals, and clinical recommendations.

While we can’t promise private rooms for every resident, we work diligently to create living arrangements that support ideal therapeutic outcomes and personal comfort throughout the recovery journey.

Do you prescribe medications?

When it comes to prescribing medications, our medical team takes a careful and collaborative approach. We prioritize clear communication with parents and guardians, discussing any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions before implementation.

We’ll work closely with your teen’s current healthcare providers, which is why we ask you to sign a Release of Information (ROI) form at admission. Having this ROI allows us to verify your teen’s past treatment history and maintain seamless communication with their psychiatrist or primary care provider throughout their stay.

When your child returns home, we’ll guarantee their medication plan is properly communicated to their regular healthcare team, helping to maintain consistency in their ongoing care and treatment progress.

Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?

Just as we carefully manage medications, we maintain clear behavioral expectations at Montville Adolescent Center. Our teens must follow a structured daily schedule, attend all therapy sessions and academic classes, and participate actively in group activities.

We require respectful behavior toward staff and peers, prohibit the use of drugs or alcohol, and maintain a zero-tolerance policy for violence or threatening conduct.

Additionally, we’ve established guidelines around personal belongings, communication devices, and appropriate dress code to guarantee a therapeutic environment.

During their stay, teens must comply with designated quiet hours, maintain personal hygiene, and keep their living spaces tidy.

While these rules may seem strict, they’re designed to create a safe, supportive environment where our teens can focus entirely on their recovery journey.

Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?

Out-of-state treatment offers several distinct advantages for teens struggling with addiction. At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences can create a fresh environment for recovery, while separation from established peer groups allows teens to focus entirely on their healing journey.

Additionally, receiving treatment away from home often reduces the chances of leaving treatment early, as geographic distance naturally limits impulsive decisions to exit the program.

We’ve also observed that out-of-state care provides an opportunity for teens to develop new perspectives and coping mechanisms without the immediate pressures of their home environment.

Our location, just 45 minutes from Manhattan, offers the perfect balance of accessibility and distance, allowing for regular family involvement while maintaining therapeutic boundaries.

How do I get started?

Getting started with our teen rehab program involves a straightforward three-step process.

First, you’ll connect with our admissions team for a brief, 10-minute phone assessment to verify we’re the right fit for your teen’s specific needs.

Next, we’ll work with you to verify your insurance benefits and discuss payment options, guaranteeing complete transparency about coverage and any potential out-of-pocket costs.

Finally, we’ll schedule an intake appointment at our Montville Adolescent Center in Towaco, where our experienced staff will welcome your family and begin the admission process.

Throughout each step, we’ll guide you with compassion and professionalism, answering any questions you may have about our extensive treatment programs, which include detox services, residential care, and virtual treatment options.

What makes our adolescent substance use treatment program different?
