Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that families have many questions when considering teen rehab treatment, including concerns about insurance coverage, visitation policies, family support resources, academic continuity, and living arrangements.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we accept most major insurance plans, offer weekly family visits and therapy sessions, and maintain close coordination with your teen’s school to prevent academic disruption during treatment.
Our facility provides both private and semi-private rooms in a gender-specific housing arrangement, ensuring comfort and appropriate accommodations throughout your teenager’s recovery journey.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Yes, your insurance typically covers some or all costs associated with teen addiction treatment.
Thanks to key regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), insurance providers must include coverage for substance use disorder treatment as an essential health benefit.
We accept most major insurance plans and can help verify your specific coverage.
Our admissions team will work directly with your insurance provider to determine exact benefits, including coverage for detox, residential treatment, and ongoing care.
During this process, we’ll explain any potential out-of-pocket costs, deductibles, or copayments you might encounter.
If you don’t have insurance or need additional financial options, we’ll discuss alternative payment arrangements to guarantee your teen can access the care they need.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Beyond understanding insurance coverage, many parents want to know about staying connected with their teen during treatment. At Montville Adolescent Center, we recognize the crucial importance of maintaining family bonds during the recovery journey, which is why we’ve established structured visitation opportunities every Sunday during designated hours.
To ensure the safety and therapeutic integrity of our program, we maintain specific guidelines for these visits. Family members and guardians who are at least 18 years old are welcome to visit, but they must first receive approval from our clinical staff.
Additionally, we require visitors to attend a Family Support Session before their first visit, which helps create a more supportive and understanding environment for both teens and their families during these important reconnection times.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family support programs form a cornerstone of our teen rehabilitation process. We believe that successful recovery depends on engaging the entire family unit, which is why we offer extensive support services, including weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular progress updates.
Through our family-focused approach, we provide parents and guardians with essential tools to understand addiction, manage challenging behaviors, and establish healthy communication patterns. Our licensed family therapists work closely with families to address underlying issues, rebuild trust, and create a supportive home environment that promotes long-term recovery.
Additionally, we offer a Family Support Session every Sunday before visitation hours, where families can connect with other parents facing similar challenges while learning valuable coping strategies and receiving guidance from our experienced clinical team.
What educational coordination is offered?
Educational coordination at Montville Adolescent Center guarantees students maintain their academic progress during treatment. We work directly with each teen’s home school district to guarantee attendance credits and maintain curriculum alignment, helping students stay on track with their studies.
Our daily schedule includes two dedicated hours of structured academics and physical education activities.
During their stay, we collaborate closely with teachers and school administrators to gather assignments, coordinate testing requirements, and facilitate a seamless educational experience.
Our academic support team provides individualized attention through our 1:1 staff-to-client ratio, guaranteeing students receive the assistance they need to succeed.
We recognize the importance of education in recovery, which is why we’ve designed our program to support both therapeutic and academic growth simultaneously.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Room arrangements at Montville Adolescent Center include both private and semi-private options. We recognize that comfortable living spaces play an essential role in recovery, which is why we’ve designed our accommodations to promote both healing and personal growth.
Our gender-specific housing floors guarantee appropriate boundaries and privacy for all residents.

Each room, whether private or shared, is equipped with essential amenities and maintained to high standards of cleanliness and comfort, providing a safe, structured space where teens can focus on their recovery journey.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medication management is an integral part of our treatment approach at Montville Adolescent Center. We guarantee that any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions are thoroughly discussed with parents or guardians before implementation, maintaining clear communication throughout your teen’s treatment journey.
To provide extensive care, we work collaboratively with your teen’s current healthcare providers. We request that parents sign a Release of Information (ROI) form, allowing us to communicate directly with your child’s psychiatrist or primary care provider.
This authorization enables us to verify previous treatment protocols and effectively coordinate any medication adjustments during their stay with us. Through this integrated approach, we can guarantee continuity of care and communicate important medication updates that may affect your teen’s post-treatment plan.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Structure and accountability form the foundation of our teen treatment program at Montville Adolescent Center.
We’ve established clear guidelines that all residents must follow, including attending all scheduled therapy sessions, participating in daily academic programs, and maintaining appropriate behavior with staff and peers.
Our teens must adhere to a structured daily schedule, complete assigned therapeutic work, and respect our zero-tolerance policy for substance use or violent behavior.
Additionally, we require teens to follow proper hygiene practices, keep their living spaces tidy, and participate in community meetings.
While in treatment, they’ll need to comply with our communication policies, which include supervised phone calls and restricted internet access.
We’ve found that these guidelines create a safe, therapeutic environment where teens can focus on their recovery journey without outside distractions.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Choosing out-of-state treatment for your teen offers several key advantages. By removing them from their current environment, we’ve found that teens can focus entirely on their recovery without the distractions of familiar triggers, negative peer influences, or easy access to substances.
Distance also creates a clear boundary between treatment and their previous lifestyle, allowing for deeper self-reflection and personal growth.
Additionally, out-of-state treatment often provides your teen with a fresh perspective and the opportunity to develop new, healthy relationships without the pressure of their existing social circle.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve seen how this physical separation can strengthen family dynamics, as both parents and teens learn to communicate more effectively during scheduled visits and therapy sessions, ultimately leading to more meaningful connections and lasting recovery.
How do I get started?
Once you’ve decided that treatment is right for your teen, starting the admissions process is straightforward.
One of our dedicated counselors will conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment over the phone to guarantee we’re the best fit for your child’s specific needs and circumstances.
After completing the initial assessment, we’ll move forward with verifying your insurance benefits, if applicable, and discuss any additional payment arrangements that may be necessary.
Our admissions team will then coordinate with you to schedule an ideal intake time that works for your family.
We recognize this can be an overwhelming time, which is why we’ve streamlined our admission process to be as efficient and stress-free as possible, allowing your teen to begin their recovery journey without unnecessary delays.
