Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
Understanding the logistics of your teen’s treatment is a vital first step, and we’re here to address common questions about insurance coverage, family visits, educational continuity, and living arrangements.
We accept most major insurance plans and offer weekly family visits during designated hours on Sundays, while coordinating closely with your teen’s school to maintain academic progress throughout their stay.
Our facility features both private and semi-private rooms, and our thorough family support includes regular therapy sessions, workshops, and ongoing communication to keep you involved in your teen’s recovery journey.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance companies typically cover all or part of teen addiction treatment costs, thanks to key federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
Under these laws, insurance providers must include coverage for mental health and substance use disorder treatment as essential health benefits, guaranteeing families have access to necessary care.
While we accept most major insurance plans, we’ll work with you to verify your specific coverage and determine any out-of-pocket expenses.
We recognize that maneuvering through insurance benefits can be overwhelming, which is why our admissions team will help check your benefits and explain your coverage options in detail.
For families without insurance coverage, we offer additional payment arrangements to confirm teens can access the treatment they need.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Family visits are permitted every Sunday during set visitation hours at Montville Adolescent Center.
We recognize how important family connection is during the recovery process, which is why we’ve established clear visitation protocols to ensure safe, meaningful interactions between teens and their loved ones.
Before any visits can occur, all visitors must be at least 18 years old and receive approval from our clinical staff.
Additionally, we require family members and guardians to participate in a Family Support Session, which helps create a more supportive environment for your teen’s recovery journey.
During these sessions, we’ll provide guidance on how to make the most of your visits while maintaining the therapeutic progress your teen has achieved, ensuring that family interactions contribute positively to their ongoing treatment and healing process.
Do you offer support to family members?
Strong family support plays an essential role in teen recovery, which is why we integrate extensive family services throughout our treatment program.
We offer regular family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and support groups that help parents and siblings understand addiction, mental health, and effective communication strategies. Our family program includes weekly updates on your teen’s progress, along with guidance on establishing healthy boundaries and rebuilding trust.
Additionally, we provide specialized resources for families, including informational materials about substance use disorders, coping mechanisms, and post-treatment planning.
Through our Family Support Sessions, which are required before visitation, we’ll help you develop the tools needed to support your teen’s recovery journey while addressing any concerns or challenges you may face during and after treatment.
What educational coordination is offered?
Throughout their stay at Montville Adolescent Center, we maintain active partnerships with each teen’s home school district to guarantee educational continuity. Our program dedicates two hours daily to structured academic pursuits, ensuring students don’t fall behind in their studies while receiving treatment.
We’ve developed an all-encompassing system where our staff coordinates directly with teachers and administrators from your teen’s school, facilitating attendance credits and curriculum alignment.
Our educational support includes personalized academic assistance, structured study periods, and progress monitoring to maintain educational momentum. Additionally, we’ll work with your teen’s school to arrange any necessary accommodations or modifications, ensuring a seamless shift back to their regular academic environment once treatment is completed.
Will my teenager have their own room?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options for our teenage residents. Our thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize comfort, safety, and therapeutic support while maintaining appropriate supervision levels throughout treatment.
We’ve structured our gender-specific housing floors to create an environment that’s conducive to healing and personal growth.
When determining room assignments, we carefully consider multiple factors, including clinical recommendations, individual treatment needs, and available space. While we can’t guarantee private rooms for every resident, we work diligently to accommodate specific needs and preferences whenever possible.
Our semi-private rooms foster positive peer relationships and accountability, while still maintaining appropriate personal space and privacy standards that align with our therapeutic goals and safety protocols.
Do you prescribe medications?
In regards to medication management, our medical team at Montville Adolescent Center takes a carefully coordinated approach when prescribing medications for teens in our care.
We’ll always discuss any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions with parents or guardians before implementation, ensuring full transparency throughout the treatment process.
We strongly recommend signing our Release of Information (ROI) form if your teen currently has a psychiatrist or primary care provider, as this allows us to communicate effectively with these professionals during your child’s stay.
Through this collaborative approach, we’re able to verify previous treatment protocols and seamlessly coordinate any medication adjustments, which helps us develop the most effective continuation of care plan for your teen’s post-treatment success.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Maintaining a structured and safe environment requires all teens in our program to follow specific behavioral guidelines and protocols.
We’ve established clear expectations regarding respect for staff and peers, attendance at scheduled activities, and compliance with medication protocols. Our rules prohibit any physical aggression, possession of contraband items, or unauthorized contact with individuals outside the program, while we closely monitor appropriate dress code and personal boundaries.
Additionally, we require teens to participate fully in their treatment activities, including therapy sessions, academic work, and group meetings, as these components are essential for recovery success.
To support positive outcomes, we’ve implemented a structured daily schedule that includes designated times for meals, recreation, personal care, and therapeutic activities, which all residents must follow.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
While sending a teenager to an out-of-state treatment facility may seem challenging, this decision often provides several key advantages for both teens and their families.
The physical distance can create a necessary break from negative influences and triggers in their home environment, allowing teens to focus completely on their recovery journey. We’ve found that out-of-state treatment often reduces the likelihood of leaving treatment early, as the geographical separation naturally limits impulsive decisions to return home.
Additionally, receiving care away from home helps teens build new, healthy relationships with peers who share similar recovery goals, while our academic program guarantees they won’t fall behind in school.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’re conveniently located near major transportation hubs, making family visits and therapy sessions accessible despite the distance.
How do I get started?
Starting the admissions process at Montville Adolescent Center is straightforward and efficient. When you call our admissions team, one of our dedicated counselors will conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment over the phone to guarantee we’re the right fit for your teen’s specific needs.
Once we’ve completed the initial assessment, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and discuss any financial considerations. If you don’t have insurance coverage, we’ll investigate alternative payment options that might work for your situation.
After addressing the practical aspects, we’ll schedule an intake appointment that works with your schedule. Throughout this process, our experienced admissions team will guide you through each step, answer your questions, and guarantee you have all the information needed to begin your teen’s journey toward recovery.
