The Benefits of a Behavioral Health Treatment Program for Your Teen
When parents consider behavioral health treatment for their teen, they’re taking a crucial first step toward addressing underlying mental health challenges that may be affecting their child’s wellbeing. Through specialized teen therapy programs, adolescents gain essential coping skills and emotional regulation techniques while working with experienced mental health professionals who understand their unique developmental needs.
Our thorough behavioral health approach focuses on adolescent wellness through evidence-based interventions, family integration, and personalized treatment plans. By addressing mental health concerns early, we help teens develop resilience, self-awareness, and healthy communication patterns that serve as building blocks for long-term emotional stability and personal growth.
How Do I Know if My Child Needs Professional Counseling or Behavioral Therapy?
Recognizing whether your teen needs professional mental health support isn’t always straightforward, as adolescents naturally experience emotional ups and downs during their developmental years. However, certain signs become apparent when behaviors extend beyond typical teenage challenges. We encourage parents to watch for significant behavioral changes, including withdrawal from previously enjoyed activities, declining academic performance, extreme mood swings, or changes in sleep and eating patterns. These shifts, especially when persisting for several weeks, suggest it’s time to seek professional guidance. Trust your parental instincts – if you’re consistently worried about your teen’s well-being, reaching out for help is appropriate.
When your young person has been grappling with ongoing behavioral health challenges or showing persistent mental health symptoms, along with difficulties at school or family conflicts, a structured therapeutic program designed for adolescents might offer the comprehensive support they need to thrive. We invite you to connect with one of our youth treatment specialists who can address your questions and help evaluate if clinical intervention would benefit your situation. Our team offers specialized treatment pathways tailored to address predominantly behavioral or mental health conditions. We begin with a complimentary, no-pressure assessment to identify the most suitable care approach for your child’s specific clinical requirements.

Will My Child Benefit From Traveling for Behavioral Treatment & Psychiatric Care?
Many parents wonder whether sending their teen away from Englewood for behavioral treatment could be disruptive, yet research shows that traveling for specialized care often provides unique therapeutic advantages. At Guardian Restoration’s Montville Adolescent Center in New Jersey, we’ve found that treatment locations away from home can create a beneficial emotional distance from triggers while offering fresh perspectives in rehabilitation. The change in environment, combined with our thorough academic integration and specialized therapeutic programs, allows teens to focus entirely on their healing journey without daily social pressures and environmental stressors that may have contributed to their challenges.
Does Insurance Cover the Cost of Adolescent Care?
When it comes to adolescent mental health and behavioral treatment, parents often worry about the financial aspects of getting their teen the care they need.
Due to insufficient resources for adolescents in Colorado, Colorado Access now helps families access treatment for teens out of state. Guardian Recovery – CuraWest can now refer families needing adolescent behavioral health services that have Colorado Access health insurance to Guardian Recovery adolescent centers. Colorado Access insurance may cover the cost of your teen’s behavioral health treatment. Please call us to verify your Colorado Access Medicaid health insurance coverage or for any questions you may have regarding your Colorado Access benefits. We’re here to help make your teen’s treatment journey manageable. If you have any questions about Montville Adolescent Center and our adolescent behavioral health counseling program or our admissions process, please call (888) 693-1794.

We highly encourage family involvement through weekly therapy sessions, which can be conducted virtually or in person. Our program is designed to actively integrate families throughout the healing process.
We offer educational workshops for families and weekly family support group meetings, all aimed at improving understanding and communication.

How Long Is Your Adolescent Program?
The typical length of stay in our adolescent residential behavioral health treatment program is 28 days, though the specific duration depends heavily on each teen’s individual needs, treatment progress, and customized treatment plan. For adolescents requiring substance use medical detoxification services, the initial phase typically lasts 3-4 days before transitioning to the main treatment program. Throughout their stay, our clinical team continuously assesses your child’s advancement through therapeutic milestones and treatment goals, making adjustments as needed. We collaborate closely with families to determine the appropriate length of stay, ensuring that each teen has sufficient time to develop coping skills, establish healthy routines, and create a sustainable foundation for long-term wellness.

- Family history
- Mental health challenges
- Current medications
- Any history of treatment
