Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we recognize parents have many questions about their teen’s treatment journey, from insurance coverage and visitation policies to educational continuity and family support programs.
We’re committed to providing thorough answers about our services, including our flexible insurance options, weekly Sunday visitation hours, academic coordination with schools, and both private and semi-private room arrangements.
Through our family-centered approach, we work closely with parents and guardians, offering regular updates, family therapy sessions, and educational workshops to support the entire family unit throughout the recovery process.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance coverage for teen rehab treatment is typically available through most major providers, thanks to federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
These laws guarantee that insurance companies must cover essential mental health and substance use disorder treatments, just as they would cover medical conditions.
We’ll work directly with your insurance provider to determine your specific coverage levels and any out-of-pocket expenses you might incur.
If you’re concerned about costs, we encourage you to contact our admissions team, who can verify your benefits and explain your coverage options in detail.
For families without insurance coverage, we offer various payment arrangements and can discuss financial solutions that make treatment accessible for your teen.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
While managing treatment costs is important, many parents are equally concerned about maintaining contact with their teen during rehabilitation.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve established structured visitation protocols that allow family members and guardians to stay connected with their teens while maintaining the therapeutic environment.
We welcome approved visitors ages 18 and older during designated hours each Sunday, following participation in our mandatory Family Support Session.
Our clinical staff carefully reviews and approves all potential visitors to guarantee the safety and well-being of our clients.
This balanced approach allows us to maintain the integrity of our treatment program while recognizing the crucial role that family connection plays in successful recovery outcomes.
Do you offer support to family members?
Montville’s commitment to family support forms a cornerstone of our teen treatment program. We provide extensive resources for parents and guardians through our weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and support groups that help families understand addiction, mental health, and effective communication strategies.
Our clinical team regularly updates families on their teen’s progress while offering guidance on establishing healthy boundaries and creating supportive home environments.
Throughout treatment, we’ll work closely with you to address fundamental family dynamics, teaching essential coping skills and stress management techniques that benefit both teens and their loved ones.
Additionally, we offer our Family Support Sessions before Sunday visitations, where we’ll help you understand the recovery process, share strategies for supporting your teen’s sobriety, and provide resources for your own emotional well-being.
What educational coordination is offered?
Beyond family support, our educational coordination guarantees your teen stays on track academically during treatment. We maintain active partnerships with local school districts to secure attendance credits and curriculum alignment, dedicating two hours daily to structured academic pursuits and physical education activities.
Our extensive educational support includes direct communication with your child’s teachers, careful monitoring of assignments and progress, and seamless integration of coursework into the treatment schedule.
Through our collaborative approach with school administrators, we’re able to provide necessary documentation and coordinate make-up work, guaranteeing your teen won’t fall behind during their recovery journey.
Additionally, we offer specialized tutoring support when needed, helping to maintain academic momentum while addressing therapeutic needs.
Will my teenager have their own room?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options for teens in treatment. Our thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize comfort, safety, and a sense of personal space during recovery, with gender-specific housing floors that help maintain appropriate boundaries and foster a supportive environment.
We understand that having a comfortable living space is essential for therapeutic success, which is why our rooms are carefully furnished to create a calming atmosphere while meeting all safety requirements.
When determining room assignments, we consider various factors, including clinical recommendations, individual needs, and treatment goals. While private rooms are available, many teens benefit from our semi-private accommodations, which can help develop socialization skills and provide peer support within appropriate therapeutic boundaries.
Do you prescribe medications?
When it comes to prescribing medications for teens in our care, we maintain strict protocols that prioritize safety and parental involvement.
We’ll always discuss any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions with parents or guardians before implementing them, guaranteeing complete transparency in your child’s treatment plan.
If your teen currently works with a psychiatrist or primary care provider who prescribes medications, we’ll need you to sign our Release of Information (ROI) form.
This authorization allows us to communicate effectively with these healthcare providers during your child’s stay, verify previous treatment protocols, and coordinate any medication adjustments for post-treatment care.
Our medical team collaborates closely with your teen’s existing healthcare providers to guarantee continuity of care and ideal treatment outcomes.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Structure and discipline form vital components of our teen rehabilitation program. We maintain clear behavioral guidelines that guarantee safety, respect, and a therapeutic environment conducive to recovery.
Our rules include mandatory participation in all scheduled activities, respect for staff and peers, adherence to designated wake-up and bedtime schedules, and appropriate dress code compliance.
We strictly prohibit physical aggression, possession of contraband items, and unauthorized communication devices. Additionally, teens must maintain proper hygiene, keep their living spaces tidy, and follow our structured daily schedule, which includes therapy sessions, academic work, and recreational activities.
While these rules may seem stringent, they’re designed to create stability and foster responsibility, helping your teen develop essential life skills that will support their long-term recovery and personal growth.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Sending your teenager out of state for treatment can break harmful cycles and create a fresh start for recovery. At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance from negative peer influences and familiar triggers allows teens to focus entirely on their healing journey without daily environmental stressors or social pressures.
When teens receive treatment away from home, they’re more likely to complete the full program since geographical distance reduces the impulse to leave treatment prematurely.
Additionally, out-of-state care provides opportunities to develop new, healthy relationships with peers who share similar recovery goals. While we recognize the challenge of having your child away from home, our facility’s strategic location – just 45 minutes from Manhattan and easily accessible via multiple commuter rail stations – guarantees that family involvement remains strong throughout the treatment process.
How do I get started?
Taking the first step toward teen addiction treatment is straightforward at Montville Adolescent Center. When you contact our admissions team, we’ll guide you through our streamlined process, which begins with a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment phone call to verify we’re the right fit for your teen’s specific needs.
After completing the initial assessment, we’ll work directly with your insurance provider to verify benefits and determine coverage options, making the financial aspects as clear as possible.
Once we’ve handled these preliminary steps, we’ll coordinate a convenient time for intake, where we’ll welcome your family and begin your teen’s journey to recovery. Throughout this process, our dedicated admissions counselors will remain available to answer any questions and address concerns you may have about our program or treatment approach.
