Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that parents and guardians have many questions about our teen rehab program, including concerns about insurance coverage, family visits, educational support, and living arrangements.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we accept most insurance plans, coordinate with schools to maintain academic progress, and provide both private and semi-private rooms for our residents.
Our extensive family support includes weekly visitation opportunities on Sundays, family therapy sessions, and regular updates on your teen’s progress, ensuring that families remain actively involved throughout the treatment process.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers all or part of teen addiction treatment costs, thanks to federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
We accept most major insurance plans and can help verify your coverage for treatment at Montville Adolescent Center. Under the ACA, insurance providers must cover essential health benefits, including mental health and substance use disorder treatment, while the MHPAEA guarantees that coverage for addiction treatment isn’t more restrictive than coverage for medical conditions.
Our admissions team will work with your insurance provider to determine your exact coverage levels, out-of-pocket expenses, and any potential deductibles. If you don’t have insurance coverage, we’ll discuss alternative payment options to help make treatment accessible for your teen.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Parents are encouraged to stay connected with their teens during treatment through our structured visitation program. We schedule visitation hours every Sunday, allowing family members and guardians who are 18 or older to spend quality time with their teens in a therapeutic environment.
Before any visits can take place, we require all potential visitors to receive approval from our clinical staff and attend a mandatory Family Support Session, which helps create a foundation for productive interactions.
These requirements ensure that visits positively contribute to your teen’s recovery journey while maintaining the structured environment that’s essential for treatment success. Our visitation policies are designed to balance your teen’s need for family connection with their treatment progress, creating opportunities for healing and growth within appropriate clinical boundaries.
Do you offer support to family members?
Three core family support services form the foundation of our teen treatment program: regular family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and weekly progress updates.
During family therapy, we’ll help you address underlying relationship dynamics, enhance communication patterns, and develop strategies for supporting your teen’s recovery journey.
Our educational workshops provide essential information about addiction, mental health, and effective parenting techniques that you’ll need for long-term success.
Because we recognize the stress families experience during their teen’s treatment, we offer thorough support through weekly updates from our clinical team, who’ll keep you informed about your child’s progress, challenges, and achievements.
Additionally, we’ll connect you with parent support groups and provide resources to help you traverse this challenging time while building a stronger family unit.
What educational coordination is offered?
At Montville Adolescent Center, thorough educational support guarantees your teen stays on track academically during treatment. We actively collaborate with your child’s home school district to guarantee curriculum alignment and attendance credits, providing two dedicated hours of structured academics daily within our all-encompassing program.
Our educational coordination includes working directly with your teen’s teachers and school administrators to maintain coursework continuity, while our on-site academic support helps prevent any learning gaps during treatment.
We’ll coordinate with your child’s school to obtain current assignments, facilitate make-up work when needed, and guarantee a seamless shift back to their regular academic environment post-treatment.
Through our structured approach, we’re committed to supporting your teen’s educational progress while they focus on their recovery journey.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Room arrangements at Montville Adolescent Center include both private and semi-private options, though most teens share a room with one other resident.
We’ve designed our gender-specific housing floors to create a supportive, therapeutic environment where teens can feel secure and comfortable during their recovery journey.
In our experience, sharing living space with a peer often helps teenagers develop important social skills and build supportive relationships, which are essential components of the recovery process.
While we recognize that some parents and teens may prefer private accommodations, we’ve found that the semi-private room arrangement provides valuable opportunities for supervised socialization and peer support, all while maintaining appropriate boundaries and personal space through our thoughtfully designed living areas and strict supervision protocols.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medication management at Montville Adolescent Center involves close collaboration between our medical team, parents, and existing healthcare providers.
Before making any changes to your teen’s medications or prescribing new ones, we’ll discuss our recommendations with you as the parent or guardian, ensuring you’re fully informed and comfortable with the treatment plan.
If your teenager currently works with a psychiatrist or primary care provider, we’ll ask you to sign a Release of Information (ROI) form, which allows us to communicate directly with these healthcare professionals.
This coordination enables us to verify previous treatment history and share information about any medication adjustments made during your teen’s stay, ensuring continuity of care when they return home after completing our program.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Like any structured therapeutic environment, Montville Adolescent Center maintains clear behavioral guidelines and expectations to guarantee the safety and success of all participants.
We’ve established a thorough set of rules that include respecting staff and peers, maintaining appropriate boundaries, attending all scheduled activities, and following the daily schedule without exception. Additionally, we require teens to refrain from any physical aggression, inappropriate language, or disruptive behavior that could impede their own or others’ treatment progress.
To promote a therapeutic environment, we strictly prohibit the possession of cell phones, unauthorized medications, or any substances, while also monitoring all communication with individuals outside the facility.
Our teens must also participate actively in their treatment program, complete assigned therapeutic work, and maintain proper hygiene and room cleanliness throughout their stay.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
While keeping your teen close to home may seem ideal, out-of-state treatment often provides significant advantages for recovery.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance can help break unhealthy local relationships and triggers that may have contributed to substance use, creating a fresh environment for healing.
Out-of-state care offers your teen the opportunity to focus entirely on their recovery without daily distractions or negative influences from their usual environment.
Additionally, the change in setting can foster independence and personal growth, as teens learn to navigate new situations and build healthy relationships.
We recognize that choosing out-of-state treatment is a significant decision, which is why we maintain regular family communication through therapy sessions and updates, ensuring parents remain actively involved in their teen’s recovery journey despite the geographic distance.
How do I get started?
Starting the journey toward teen addiction treatment is straightforward and begins with a simple phone call to 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 teenager’s specific needs and circumstances.
Once we’ve completed the initial assessment, we’ll move forward with verifying your insurance benefits, if applicable, and work with you to determine the most suitable financial arrangements for your family’s situation.
After addressing these practical matters, we’ll schedule your teenager’s intake appointment at our Montville Adolescent Center facility.
Throughout this process, our compassionate admissions team remains available to answer any questions you may have about our programs, facility amenities, or treatment approaches.
