Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that families have many questions about our teen rehabilitation program, including concerns about insurance coverage, visitation policies, and educational continuity during treatment.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we accept most insurance plans, coordinate closely with schools to maintain academic progress, and encourage family involvement through weekly Sunday visits and support sessions.
Through our extensive program, teens receive personalized care in either private or semi-private rooms, while parents stay informed and involved in their child’s treatment journey through regular updates and family therapy sessions.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance coverage for teen addiction treatment is typically available through most major providers, thanks to federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
These laws guarantee that insurance companies must cover essential health benefits, including mental health and substance use disorder treatment, making recovery care more accessible for families.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ll work directly with your insurance provider to determine coverage levels and out-of-pocket costs for your teen’s treatment program.
While coverage varies by plan, most insurance policies cover a significant portion of detox and residential treatment services.
We’re committed to making treatment accessible, and our admissions team can verify your benefits, explain coverage details, and discuss additional payment options if needed.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Regular family visits are a crucial part of our teen treatment program. At our Montville Adolescent Center, we welcome family members and legal guardians who are 18 or older to visit their teens during designated hours every Sunday.
Before any visits can occur, we require all visitors to be pre-approved by our clinical staff and attend a mandatory Family Support Session, which helps ensure productive and therapeutic interactions during visitation time.
We understand how significant it’s to maintain family connections throughout the recovery process, which is why we’ve structured our visitation policy to balance treatment needs with family involvement.
Our clinical team carefully monitors these visits to ensure they support your teen’s progress while providing the emotional connection that’s essential for long-term recovery success.
Do you offer support to family members?
Support for families stands at the core of our extensive teen treatment approach. Through our thorough family therapy program, we provide weekly sessions that help parents and guardians understand their teen’s challenges while developing stronger communication skills and healthier family dynamics.
We’ve designed multiple support channels for families, including regular updates on their teen’s progress, educational workshops about addiction and mental health, and our Sunday Family Support Sessions, which are mandatory before visitation.
Additionally, we offer resources and guidance to help families prepare for their teen’s change back home, ensuring they’re equipped with tools to support long-term recovery. Our family-centric approach recognizes that successful treatment outcomes often depend on creating a strong support system within the home environment.
What educational coordination is offered?
While family support remains vital to recovery, maintaining academic progress is another cornerstone of our program.
We’ve established strong partnerships with local schools to guarantee your teen doesn’t fall behind academically during treatment. Our dedicated staff coordinates directly with your child’s home school district to maintain attendance credits and align with their current curriculum requirements.
We provide two structured hours of daily academic instruction, incorporating both traditional coursework and physical education components.
During these sessions, we’re focused on helping your teen stay on track with their studies while building healthy routines. Our collaborative approach with schools, combined with our specialized educational support, creates a seamless change plan that allows your teen to successfully return to their academic environment after completing treatment.
Will my teenager have their own room?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options for teenage residents. Our thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize comfort, safety, and a therapeutic environment that supports our clients’ recovery journey.
We’ve arranged our accommodations across gender-specific housing floors to guarantee appropriate boundaries and comfort levels for all residents.
While we can’t guarantee private room availability, as assignments depend on current occupancy and individual treatment needs, we aim to accommodate specific rooming requests whenever possible.
Each room, whether private or semi-private, is equipped with essential furnishings and maintains our high standards for safety and comfort.
Our clinical team carefully considers room assignments, taking into account factors such as age, therapeutic compatibility, and individual circumstances to create the most supportive living arrangement for each teen.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medications play an essential role in our extensive treatment approach at Montville Adolescent Center. We guarantee complete transparency with parents and guardians regarding any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions, discussing all options before implementation.
Our medical team works collaboratively with your teen’s current healthcare providers, which is why we request a signed Release of Information (ROI) form to facilitate communication.
For teens who already have an established relationship with a psychiatrist or primary care provider, we’ll maintain open lines of communication throughout their stay.
This coordination allows us to verify previous treatment protocols and effectively communicate any medication adjustments that may be necessary during and after treatment, guaranteeing continuity of care and ideal therapeutic outcomes for your teenager.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Throughout treatment at Montville Adolescent Center, we maintain clear behavioral guidelines to create a safe, structured, and therapeutic environment. Our rules include respecting fellow residents and staff, attending all scheduled therapy sessions and activities, maintaining personal hygiene, and following our structured daily schedule.
We’ve established these guidelines to foster recovery and growth, which means we don’t allow cell phones, unauthorized visitors, or inappropriate physical contact between residents.
Additionally, we require teens to participate actively in group sessions, complete assigned therapeutic work, and follow our dress code policy.
While these rules may seem strict, they’re essential for creating the supportive atmosphere needed for successful treatment, and we’ve found that teens who embrace these guidelines typically experience more meaningful progress in their recovery journey.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
While our Montville facility provides excellent local care, sending your teenager out of state for treatment can offer distinct advantages.
Out-of-state treatment creates physical distance from negative influences and triggers, allowing teens to focus solely on their recovery journey without local distractions. We’ve found that this separation often helps break unhealthy patterns and relationships that may have contributed to substance use.
Additionally, choosing an out-of-state facility can provide your teen with a fresh start in a new environment, where they’re free from preexisting social pressures and reputational concerns.
The change in setting can promote deeper self-reflection and personal growth, while the distance may also strengthen family dynamics by encouraging more meaningful, structured interactions during family therapy sessions and scheduled visits.
How do I get started?
Starting the admissions process at Montville Adolescent Center is straightforward and begins with a single phone call to our team.
During your initial contact, one of our dedicated admissions counselors will conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment of your teenager to ascertain we’re the right fit for their needs.
After completing the pre-assessment, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and discuss any additional payment options that may be necessary.
Once the financial aspects are addressed, we’ll work with you to arrange a convenient intake time for your teen.
Throughout this process, our experienced staff will guide you through any required paperwork, including medical records and consent forms, while answering your questions about our treatment programs, facility protocols, and what to expect during your teen’s stay.

We’re particularly proud of our dual focus on substance use and mental health treatment, ensuring we address the root causes of addiction while teaching practical coping skills.
