Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that families have many questions when considering teen rehab treatment, from insurance coverage and visitation policies to educational continuity and room arrangements.

Our facility provides both private and semi-private rooms, with structured Sunday visitation hours for approved family members who participate in our Family Support Sessions.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Thanks to regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), most insurance plans cover all or part of teen addiction treatment costs.
The ACA mandates that insurance providers must include mental health and substance use disorder treatment as essential health benefits, while the MHPAEA guarantees equal coverage between medical and behavioral health services.
We’ll help verify your insurance benefits to determine your exact coverage for our teen treatment programs.
During this process, we’ll work directly with your insurance provider to understand your specific plan details, including deductibles, copayments, and any pre-authorization requirements.
If you’re concerned about costs, we can also discuss additional payment options and financial arrangements to confirm your teen gets the care they need.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
During your teen’s stay at Montville Adolescent Center, family visits take place every Sunday during designated hours.
We recognize the importance of family connection during treatment, which is why we’ve established clear visitation protocols to support your teen’s recovery journey.
To maintain a therapeutic environment, we require all visitors to be family members or legal guardians who are at least 18 years old.
Before any visits can occur, our clinical staff must approve each visitor, and family members are required to participate in a Family Support Session.
This preparatory session helps ensure that visits positively contribute to your teen’s treatment progress.
We’ll work with you to coordinate these important family connections while maintaining the structure and safety of our program.
Do you offer support to family members?
In addition to supporting teens, Montville Adolescent Center provides extensive family support services throughout the treatment process.
We recognize that addiction affects the entire family system, which is why we’ve developed thorough programs including weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular progress updates with our clinical team.
Our family support offerings include individual family counseling sessions, where families can address specific challenges and develop communication strategies.
We also offer multi-family group therapy sessions that create opportunities for shared learning and mutual support.

Before implementing any new medications or adjusting existing prescriptions, we engage in detailed discussions with parents or guardians to guarantee informed decision-making and transparency throughout the treatment process.
For teens who already have established relationships with psychiatrists or primary care providers, we request that families complete our Release of Information (ROI) form, which enables seamless communication between our medical team and your child’s existing healthcare providers.
This collaboration allows us to verify previous treatment protocols and effectively communicate any medication modifications that may occur during your teen’s stay with us, guaranteeing continuity of care both during treatment and after discharge.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Structure and discipline form the foundation of our teen rehabilitation program, with clear rules designed to create a safe, respectful environment conducive to recovery.
We maintain strict policies regarding appropriate behavior, including mandatory participation in all scheduled activities, respect for staff and peers, and zero tolerance for violence or substance use. Our teens must follow a structured daily schedule, maintain proper hygiene, complete assigned chores, and respect designated quiet hours.

Additionally, we require teens to wear appropriate attire, keep their living spaces tidy, and refrain from forming exclusive relationships with peers.
These guidelines help create stability and accountability while fostering a therapeutic community where every teen can focus on their recovery journey.
