The Benefits of a Behavioral Health Treatment Program for Your Teen
Parents seeking support for their teen’s behavioral health challenges often reveal that specialized treatment programs offer transformative benefits that extend far beyond traditional therapy approaches. We’ve witnessed how thorough adolescent wellness programs create structured environments where teens can safely investigate underlying issues while developing essential coping skills. Throughout their rehabilitation journey, young clients gain valuable tools for emotional regulation, stress management, and interpersonal communication, while our integrated academic support guarantees they stay on track with their education. These behavioral health interventions provide the foundation for lasting positive change, equipping teens with strategies they’ll carry into adulthood.
How Do I Know if My Child Needs Professional Counseling or Behavioral Therapy?
Recognizing when a teen needs professional mental health support isn’t always straightforward, as adolescents naturally experience emotional ups and downs during their development. However, certain signs indicating need for intervention become apparent when teens show persistent behavioral changes that interfere with daily functioning, including withdrawal from previously enjoyed activities, significant mood swings, or academic decline.
We recommend seeking professional counseling when you notice your teen exhibiting concerning patterns such as intense anxiety, prolonged sadness, aggressive outbursts, or substance experimentation, especially when these behaviors persist for more than two weeks or impact their relationships, schoolwork, or home life.
When your teen faces ongoing behavioral health challenges or shows persistent mental health difficulties that create friction at school or within your home environment, a structured treatment program might offer the support framework they need to thrive. Our adolescent treatment advisors are available to discuss your situation, answer questions, and help determine if clinical intervention would benefit your child. We offer specialized treatment programs tailored to address both behavioral and mental health concerns. Reach out today for a complimentary, no-obligation assessment to identify which care approach—if any—would best address your child’s specific clinical requirements.

Child Psychiatric Assessments
A thorough psychiatric assessment forms the foundation of successful adolescent mental health treatment, allowing our clinical team to develop a detailed understanding of your child’s unique needs, challenges, and circumstances.

Disorders We Treat At Our Adolescent Treatment Center
At our adolescent treatment center, we specialize in treating both substance use disorders and mental health conditions through evidence-based therapeutic approaches tailored to each teen’s needs. We recognize that these challenges often occur together, which is why our experienced clinical team provides integrated care that addresses both the psychological and behavioral aspects of healing. Through our extensive treatment programs, we’re committed to helping teens develop healthy coping mechanisms while building the foundation for lasting wellness and emotional stability.
Substance Use Disorders
Since substance use disorders can severely impact adolescent development, our specialized treatment program addresses the complex challenges teens face when struggling with drug or alcohol dependency. We’ve designed thorough rehabilitation strategies that incorporate evidence-based therapy techniques while focusing on peer influences and mental health support. Through individualized treatment plans, we help teens build emotional resilience and develop healthy coping mechanisms to overcome substance abuse challenges. Our approach emphasizes family involvement and strong support systems, recognizing that successful rehabilitation requires a collaborative effort. We integrate various therapeutic modalities to address underlying issues, enhance self-awareness, and establish sustainable paths toward long-term wellness.

Will My Child Benefit From Traveling for Behavioral Treatment & Psychiatric Care?
Many parents wonder about sending their teen away from Denver for behavioral treatment, and we’ve found that geographical distance often creates valuable therapeutic benefits. When teens travel for care, they’re removed from triggers, negative peer influences, and established patterns that may contribute to their struggles. At Montville Adolescent Center, our specialized treatment options provide a fresh environment where adolescents can focus entirely on their healing journey, free from local distractions. The physical distance also allows families to reset dynamics and establish healthier communication patterns, while our family therapy sessions guarantee continued connection and progress throughout treatment.
Does Insurance Cover the Cost of Adolescent Care?
Colorado Access now helps families obtain treatment for teens out of state due to insufficient resources for adolescents in Colorado. Guardian Recovery – CuraWest can refer families needing adolescent behavioral health services with Colorado Access health insurance to Guardian Recovery adolescent centers. Colorado Access insurance may cover the cost of your teen’s behavioral health treatment.
We’ll work directly with Colorado Access to verify your benefits and determine coverage levels for adolescent care. Our admissions team can conduct a complimentary benefits check and explain your coverage before beginning treatment.

Reach out to us at (888) 693-1794 for any questions about Montville Adolescent Center and our adolescent behavioral health counseling program or our admissions process.
Can Parents Be Involved in the Treatment Process?
At Guardian Recovery’s Montville Adolescent Center, we strongly believe that parental involvement plays an essential role in every teen’s healing journey, which is why we’ve integrated extensive family participation into our treatment approach.
We highly encourage family involvement through weekly therapy sessions that can be conducted virtually or in person. Our family engagement program includes educational workshops, a weekly family support group meeting, and regular progress updates – all aimed at improving understanding and communication between teens and their loved ones.
Through structured family therapy sessions and treatment collaboration, we empower parents with support strategies and communication skills to effectively assist their teen. We guide parents in understanding therapy expectations and their counseling roles, while providing thorough emotional support resources. Family counseling and integration remains a critical component of adolescent treatment and overall family healing.
Will My Child Receive Academic Support During Their Stay?
We provide 2 hours of classroom education per day with dedicated teachers and resources. Our structured daily schedule ensures students stay on track with their studies while at Montville Adolescent Center. We coordinate with your school district to ensure continuity in their education, aligning curricula, maintaining attendance credits, and providing necessary learning resources. For those who cannot continue their current courses, we offer internationally accredited distance learning options. Through our integrated approach to education and restoration, we create an environment where academic achievement remains a priority, facilitating a smoother transition back to regular schooling after completing their time with us.
How Long Is Your Adolescent Program?
Treatment duration at Montville Adolescent Center typically spans 28 days for residential behavioral health services, though this timeframe may be adjusted based on each teen’s customized treatment plan, clinical assessment results, and their response to therapeutic interventions.
Our program duration is designed to be responsive to individual needs because we recognize that every adolescent progresses at their own pace. For adolescents requiring substance use medical detoxification services, the detox program typically lasts 3-4 days before transitioning to the main treatment program. Throughout the treatment timeline, we continuously evaluate each teen’s progress through thorough assessments, family feedback, and therapeutic milestones. Our goal is to ensure all teens develop lasting healing and sustainable coping skills before returning to their daily lives.
