Our unparalleled boutique-style program focuses on both substance use and mental health treatment for adolescents and their families. In effect, we don’t just treat behavioral issues. Rather, we address the underlying causes of these concerns and empower teens and families to rebuild their lives and relationships from the ground up.

Combining medical detox and residential care under the same roof, Montville Adolescent Center offers a tight-knit community of peers and professionals. And when treatment ends, aftercare planning ensures teens and their families are equipped to handle the new normal together.

At Montville Adolescent Center, we embrace a nuanced and multifaceted approach to substance use treatment that’s specifically tailored for adolescents. Our strategy goes beyond conventional methodologies, combining evidence-based therapies with medical supervision and counseling. This holistic approach was designed to address not just the physical aspects but also the psychological and emotional impacts.

Many of our clients struggle with untreated mental health concerns (e.g., anxiety, depression, trauma, etc.), process addictions, substance use disorders, and a variety of other challenges. While Montville Adolescent Center primarily treats substance use disorders, we also tackle complex developmental trauma and co-occurring issues.

Individual and group therapy sessions address age-specific issues, such as the impact of social media, peer pressure, challenging family dynamics, and stress associated with transitions to college or independent living. We help our adolescents gain self-awareness and emotional regulation skills, ultimately fostering independence, lasting motivation, and freedom from the issues holding them back.

Our team includes licensed therapists, seasoned medical experts, and dedicated specialists. Each member brings their expertise and compassion to the forefront, ensuring that every adolescent in our care receives a treatment experience that is as unique as their story.

We delve deep into crafting a personalized recovery journey for each teen, integrating educational support and life skills training. This individualized approach equips our adolescents for a future full of promise and potential.
