Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
Parents often ask us important questions about insurance coverage, visitation policies, and educational support for their teens in treatment at Montville Adolescent Center.
We recognize families’ needs for clear information about our program, which is why we accept most major insurance plans, offer weekly family visitation on Sundays, and provide extensive academic coordination with students’ home schools.
While teens typically share semi-private rooms with one roommate, our facility maintains a structured environment that includes family therapy sessions, regular academic support, and ongoing communication with parents about their child’s progress.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers most or all costs associated with teen addiction treatment, 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 include coverage for substance use disorder treatment as an essential health benefit, preventing them from imposing unfair limitations on mental health and addiction services.
While we accept most major insurance plans, we recommend speaking with our admissions counselors, who can verify your specific coverage and explain any out-of-pocket expenses.
We’ll work directly with your insurance provider to determine exact benefits and maximize your coverage.
For families without insurance, we’re committed to discussing alternative payment options to guarantee your teen can access the care they need.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Yes, families can visit their teens during designated hours on Sundays at our Montville Adolescent Center.
We recognize the importance of maintaining family connections during treatment, which is why we’ve established a structured visitation program that supports both recovery and family bonds.
To ensure the safety and therapeutic progress of all our clients, we’ve specific guidelines for visitors: all family members and guardians must be at least 18 years old and receive prior approval from our clinical staff.
Additionally, we require visitors to participate in a Family Support Session before visitation, as this helps create a more meaningful and therapeutically beneficial interaction.
Through these sessions, we’ll provide you with valuable insights into your teen’s progress and guidance on how to best support their recovery journey.
Do you offer support to family members?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we reach out to families with extensive support services throughout their teen’s recovery journey. Our thorough family support program includes weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular progress updates to guarantee parents and guardians remain actively involved in their child’s treatment process.
Through our family-centric approach, we provide guidance on essential topics such as effective communication strategies, boundary setting, and understanding addiction’s impact on family dynamics.
We’ve found that when families participate in our support services, including our Sunday Family Support Sessions and therapeutic workshops, teens typically show improved treatment outcomes and stronger family relationships.
Additionally, we offer resources and referrals to family support groups, ensuring that parents and guardians have access to their own network of understanding and encouragement.
What educational coordination is offered?
Educational success remains a top priority at Montville Adolescent Center, which is why we maintain strong partnerships with local school districts to ensure your teen stays on track academically during treatment.
We dedicate two hours daily to structured academic activities, working closely with your child’s home school to guarantee curriculum alignment and attendance credits.

Will my teenager have their own room?
Living arrangements at Montville Adolescent Center include both private and semi-private rooms, giving teens options based on availability and clinical recommendations.
Our well-appointed rooms are designed to create a comfortable, home-like environment while maintaining appropriate supervision and safety protocols for our adolescent residents.
In our semi-private arrangements, we carefully consider roommate pairings based on multiple factors, including age, treatment goals, and therapeutic compatibility, which often helps foster positive peer relationships and mutual support during recovery.

Both room types are located on gender-specific housing floors, ensuring appropriate boundaries and comfort levels throughout our residents’ stay with us.

While room arrangements provide physical comfort, medication management plays an essential role in many teens’ treatment journeys. At Montville Adolescent Center, we maintain strict protocols regarding medication prescriptions and changes, making certain parents and guardians are fully informed and involved in these important decisions.
Before implementing any new medications or modifying existing prescriptions, our medical team thoroughly discusses options with families.
We’ll ask you to sign a Release of Information (ROI) form if your teen has a current psychiatrist or primary care provider, which allows us to communicate effectively with their existing healthcare team.
This collaboration helps us verify previous treatments and guarantee seamless coordination of medication management during and after your teen’s stay with us, creating a thorough treatment approach that prioritizes both safety and therapeutic effectiveness.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we maintain clear behavioral guidelines to guarantee a safe, structured, and therapeutic environment for all residents.

We’ve established strict protocols regarding prohibited items, including cell phones, personal electronics, and any substances that could compromise recovery.

Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Beyond our structured environment and behavioral guidelines, many parents wonder about sending their teen to an out-of-state facility.
