Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that parents and families have many questions when seeking treatment for their teenager, from insurance coverage and visitation policies to educational support and living arrangements.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’re committed to providing extensive answers about our insurance verification process, weekly family therapy sessions, academic coordination with home schools, and both private and semi-private room options.
Through our dedicated admissions team, we’ll walk you through every aspect of our program, including our Sunday visitation hours, family support sessions, and our structured approach to maintaining your teen’s educational progress while in treatment.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers 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).
These laws guarantee that insurance companies must provide coverage for essential health benefits, including mental health and substance use disorder treatment.
At our facility, we accept most major insurance plans and work diligently to maximize your benefits, helping to make treatment more accessible and affordable.
We’ll verify your insurance coverage and explain exactly what’s covered, including details about deductibles, copayments, and out-of-pocket costs.
If you don’t have insurance, we’ll discuss alternative payment options to guarantee your teen can receive the care they need.
Contact our admissions team for a confidential benefits check and detailed cost breakdown.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
While understanding insurance coverage is important, many parents are equally concerned about maintaining contact with their teen during treatment.
We recognize the essential importance of family involvement in recovery, which is why we’ve established structured visitation opportunities every Sunday during designated hours.
Our visitation policy guarantees a supportive environment while maintaining the therapeutic process, allowing approved family members and guardians who are at least 18 years old to visit.
Before any visits can occur, we require all visitors to receive clinical staff approval and attend a Family Support Session, which helps create a more meaningful and therapeutic visitation experience.
This protocol helps maintain treatment integrity while fostering the critical family connections that contribute to successful long-term recovery outcomes.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family support plays three essential roles in our extensive treatment approach: supporting the teen’s recovery journey, healing family dynamics, and preparing for post-treatment success.
We provide thorough family support through our weekly family therapy sessions, where parents and guardians work with our licensed therapists to address underlying issues and develop healthier communication patterns.
Additionally, we offer bi-weekly educational workshops that help families understand addiction, mental health, and recovery principles, while our family support groups create connections with others facing similar challenges.
Our clinical team maintains regular contact with parents through progress updates and treatment planning discussions, ensuring families stay actively involved in their teen’s recovery process.
We’ll also connect you with community resources and provide post-treatment guidance to support long-term family healing.
What educational coordination is offered?
Education remains a top priority during treatment at Montville Adolescent Center. We work closely with each teen’s home school district to guarantee they stay on track academically while receiving treatment.
Our program includes two dedicated hours of structured academics daily, with curriculum integration that aligns with their school’s requirements.
We maintain active communication with school administrators to facilitate attendance credits and coordinate educational plans, guaranteeing a seamless shift back to regular classes after treatment.
Our staff partners with teachers and counselors to obtain assignments, arrange for testing when necessary, and provide progress updates throughout the student’s stay.
Through our all-encompassing academic support system, we’re committed to helping teens continue their educational journey while addressing their recovery needs.
Will my teenager have their own room?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options for our teen residents. Our thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize comfort, safety, and a therapeutic environment that supports recovery and personal growth.
Each room is located on gender-specific housing floors, guaranteeing appropriate boundaries and privacy for all residents.

Whether in private or shared accommodations, we guarantee each resident has adequate storage for personal belongings and maintains a structured environment that promotes both independence and accountability.
Our clinical team carefully considers room assignments based on individual treatment needs and therapeutic goals.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medical practitioners at Montville Adolescent Center prescribe medications when clinically appropriate and in full consultation with parents or guardians.
We’ll discuss any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions with you before implementation, making sure you’re fully informed about your teen’s treatment plan.
If your teenager currently has a psychiatrist or primary care provider who prescribes medications, we’ll need you to complete our Release of Information (ROI) form.
This authorization allows us to communicate directly with their healthcare providers, verify previous treatment protocols, and coordinate any medication adjustments during their stay.
We maintain this collaborative approach to make certain seamless communication between all medical providers involved in your teen’s care, which helps us establish an effective post-treatment medication plan that supports their long-term recovery.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Yes, we maintain clear behavioral expectations and guidelines that all teens must follow during their stay at Montville Adolescent Center. Our rules are designed to create a structured, therapeutic environment that promotes recovery and personal growth while ensuring everyone’s safety and well-being.
Throughout their treatment, teens must attend all scheduled therapy sessions, educational programs, and activities, while maintaining appropriate behavior and respect for staff and peers.
We’ve established strict policies regarding personal boundaries, communication with others, and prohibited items to maintain a secure environment. Additionally, we enforce a structured daily schedule that includes designated times for meals, academics, therapy, recreation, and rest periods.
While these rules may seem stringent, they’re essential for creating the stability and routine that supports successful recovery outcomes.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Sending your teenager to an out-of-state treatment facility can offer several meaningful advantages for their recovery journey. By creating physical distance from negative influences and triggers, we’ve found that teens often experience fewer distractions and can focus more intently on their recovery process.
The change in environment also provides an opportunity for a fresh start, allowing adolescents to develop new perspectives and healthier coping mechanisms without the pressure of local peer influences.
Additionally, out-of-state treatment can benefit families by providing a structured separation period, during which both teens and parents can work on personal growth independently.
We’ve observed that this temporary distance often strengthens family bonds through our carefully managed family therapy sessions, while simultaneously fostering greater independence and self-reflection in our teenage clients.
How do I get started?
Getting started with Guardian Recovery’s teen rehab program involves a straightforward three-step process.
First, contact our admissions team to initiate a brief, confidential pre-assessment for your teenager, which typically takes about 10 minutes and helps guarantee we’re the right fit for your child’s specific needs.
Next, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and discuss payment options, providing you with a clear understanding of coverage and any potential out-of-pocket expenses.
Finally, we’ll coordinate your teen’s intake appointment at our Montville Adolescent Center in Towaco, ensuring a smooth shift into our program.
Throughout this process, our dedicated admissions counselors will guide you, answer your questions, and address any concerns you may have about your teenager’s treatment journey.
