Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that families often have important questions about our teen rehab program, including concerns about insurance coverage, visitation policies, family support services, educational continuity, and living arrangements.
Through our thorough FAQ section, we’ll address common questions about everything from our accepted insurance plans and weekly family visits to our academic partnerships with local schools and comfortable semi-private room options.
Our dedicated admissions team is always available to provide detailed answers about our program specifics, including insurance verification, family therapy sessions, and our structured approach to maintaining your teen’s educational progress during treatment.
Does insurance cover treatment?
In most cases, insurance plans cover all or part of adolescent 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 providers, and our admissions team will help verify your benefits to determine coverage for our teen treatment programs.
Through the ACA’s essential health benefits requirement, insurance companies must provide coverage for mental health and substance use disorder treatments, while the MHPAEA guarantees that these benefits aren’t unfairly limited.
When you contact us, we’ll conduct a thorough insurance verification process, explaining your out-of-pocket costs and exploring additional payment options if needed.
We’re committed to making treatment accessible and will work closely with you to understand your coverage and identify the most cost-effective path forward.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Family involvement plays an essential role in a teen’s recovery journey, which is why Montville Adolescent Center maintains a structured visitation policy.
We welcome family members and legal guardians who are 18 years or older to visit their teens during designated hours every Sunday, following clinical staff approval and attendance at our mandatory Family Support Session.
To guarantee the safety and therapeutic progress of all our residents, we’ve implemented a thorough screening process for visitors, which requires advance approval from our clinical team.
Additionally, we encourage families to participate in our family therapy sessions, where they can gain valuable insights into their teen’s recovery process and learn effective ways to support their loved one’s ongoing treatment journey.
Do you offer support to family members?
Support for family members forms a cornerstone of our extensive treatment approach at Montville Adolescent Center. We provide detailed resources for families, including regular therapy sessions, educational workshops, and ongoing support groups that help parents and siblings understand addiction, mental health, and effective communication strategies.
Our family-centered approach includes weekly Family Support Sessions, where we address fundamental family dynamics, establish healthy boundaries, and develop practical coping skills.
We’ll keep you actively involved in your teen’s treatment through regular progress updates, while our experienced counselors provide guidance on post-treatment planning and relapse prevention.
Additionally, we offer specialized workshops covering topics such as co-dependency, enabling behaviors, and building trust, ensuring that families have the tools they need to support their teen’s long-term recovery journey.
What educational coordination is offered?
Academic progress remains a top priority during your teen’s treatment at Montville Adolescent Center. We work closely with your child’s home school district to guarantee they stay on track academically, facilitating attendance credits and maintaining curriculum alignment throughout their stay.
Our program dedicates two hours daily to structured academic pursuits, combining traditional education with physical activities.
To support your teen’s educational journey, we’ve established partnerships with local schools, allowing for seamless curriculum integration and credit transfer. Our staff coordinates directly with teachers and administrators to obtain assignments, facilitate testing requirements, and ensure your child won’t fall behind during treatment.
This thorough academic support helps create a smoother shift when your teen returns to their regular school environment, minimizing disruption to their educational progress.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Montville Adolescent Center’s residential accommodations include both private and semi-private room options for teens during their stay.
Our gender-specific housing floors guarantee appropriate separation and comfort, while our thoughtfully designed living spaces promote a sense of security and personal space that’s vital for recovery.
We understand that having a comfortable, private space is essential for teenagers in treatment, which is why we’ve created living arrangements that balance socialization opportunities with individual privacy needs.
While room assignments depend on various factors, including clinical considerations and availability, we work diligently to guarantee each teen’s living situation supports their treatment journey.
Our staff maintains regular oversight of all residential areas, providing 24/7 supervision while respecting our clients’ need for appropriate personal space and dignity.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medication management plays a key role in our thorough treatment approach. Before making any medication decisions for your teen, we’ll discuss all potential new prescriptions or changes to existing medications with you, as the parent or guardian.
We believe in full transparency and collaboration when it comes to your child’s treatment plan.
If your teenager currently works with a psychiatrist or primary care provider who manages their medications, we’ll need you to sign our Release of Information (ROI) form.
This important documentation allows us to communicate directly with your teen’s healthcare providers, verify their treatment history, and coordinate any medication adjustments during their stay with us.
This collaborative approach guarantees continuity of care and helps us develop the most effective treatment strategy for your teen’s ongoing recovery and well-being.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Following facility rules is essential for creating a safe, structured environment where all teens can focus on their recovery.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve established clear guidelines that include maintaining respect for staff and peers, participating in all scheduled activities and therapy sessions, and following our structured daily schedule without exception.
We expect teens to refrain from any physical contact, inappropriate language, or disruptive behavior that could interfere with the therapeutic environment.
Additionally, we maintain strict policies regarding personal devices and outside communication, which helps teens stay focused on their recovery journey.
While in our care, all residents must comply with our dress code, keep their living spaces tidy, and participate in regular medical check-ins as part of our thorough treatment approach.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
There are several key benefits to choosing an out-of-state treatment facility for your teenager’s recovery journey. By placing physical distance between your teen and their current environment, we’ve found that they’re better able to focus on their recovery without the distractions of nearby peers or familiar triggers.
Additionally, out-of-state treatment often provides a fresh perspective and a clean slate, allowing teens to work through their challenges without the weight of local reputation or social pressures.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, just 45 minutes from Manhattan, we’ve helped many out-of-state teens build new, healthy patterns while maintaining academic progress through our school partnerships.
Our experience shows that this temporary geographical separation can strengthen family dynamics, as structured visitation and family therapy sessions become more purposeful and meaningful.
How do I get started?
Starting the admissions process at Montville Adolescent Center takes just three simple steps.
First, when you call our admissions team, a dedicated counselor will perform a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment of your teen over the phone to verify that we’re the right fit for their specific needs.
Next, we’ll work with you to verify your insurance benefits and investigate payment options, providing a clear understanding of coverage and costs.
Finally, we’ll coordinate a convenient time for intake, where we’ll gather detailed information about your teen’s medical history, current medications, and treatment goals.
Throughout this process, our experienced admissions team will guide you, answer your questions, and make sure you feel supported in making this important decision for your teen’s recovery.
We recognize this can feel overwhelming, but we’re here to make the admission process as seamless as possible.
