Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
At Guardian Recovery’s Montville Adolescent Center, we recognize parents have many questions about their teen’s treatment journey, from insurance coverage and educational continuity to family involvement and living arrangements.
We’re committed to working with most major insurance providers, maintaining academic progress through coordination with home schools, and offering regular family visitation opportunities during designated Sunday hours.
Our facility provides both private and semi-private rooms, with gender-specific housing floors that guarantee comfort and safety, while our extensive family support includes therapy sessions, workshops, and regular progress updates throughout your teen’s recovery process.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers all or part of teen 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 insurance plans at Montville Adolescent Center, and our admissions team will help verify your coverage and explain your benefits in detail.
Under the ACA, insurance providers must cover essential health benefits, including substance use disorder treatment and mental health services.
Additionally, the MHPAEA guarantees that insurance companies can’t impose stricter limitations on addiction and mental health benefits compared to medical benefits.
If you’re unsure about coverage, we’ll work with your insurance provider to determine your out-of-pocket costs and discuss available payment options, guaranteeing your teen gets the treatment they need.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Visiting hours at Montville Adolescent Center occur every Sunday during designated times.
We understand the importance of family connections during treatment, which is why we’ve established a structured visitation program that promotes recovery while strengthening family bonds.
To ensure a therapeutic environment, all visitors must be at least 18 years old and must be immediate family members or legal guardians.
Prior to any visits, our clinical staff must approve each visitor, and family members are required to participate in a Family Support Session.
These sessions lay the groundwork for meaningful visits and support your teen’s recovery journey, while also offering you valuable insights into their treatment progress and ways you can assist in their healing process.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family support is a cornerstone of our teen rehabilitation program at Montville Adolescent Center. We recognize that addiction affects the entire family, which is why we’ve developed extensive support services that include regular family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and weekly progress updates.
Our family-focused approach incorporates structured visitation opportunities on Sundays, where family members can participate in guided therapeutic activities with their teens.
Additionally, we provide specialized family support groups that help parents and guardians comprehend the recovery process, learn effective communication strategies, and develop tools for supporting their teen’s sobriety journey.
Through our collaborative approach, we work closely with families to address underlying issues, rebuild trust, and create a strong foundation for lasting recovery, ensuring that both teens and their loved ones receive the support they need.
What educational coordination is offered?
Education remains a top priority during teen rehabilitation at Montville Adolescent Center.
We’ve established strong partnerships with local school districts to guarantee our clients stay on track academically during their treatment journey. Our program dedicates two hours daily to structured academic activities, carefully coordinated with each student’s home curriculum.
We work directly with your teen’s school to maintain attendance credits and align coursework, making the eventual shift back to regular classes smoother.
Our academic support includes coordinating with teachers, tracking assignments, and providing progress updates to both families and schools.
Additionally, we’ve developed relationships with multiple school districts throughout New Jersey, allowing us to facilitate educational continuity regardless of where your teen’s home school is located.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Room arrangements at Montville Adolescent Center include both private and semi-private options for our teen residents. When assigning rooms, we carefully consider each client’s clinical needs, treatment goals, and individual circumstances to determine the most appropriate living arrangement.
While we can’t promise private rooms for every resident, we maintain gender-specific housing floors and guarantee that all living spaces provide a safe, comfortable environment conducive to recovery.
Our semi-private rooms typically accommodate two residents, which can offer therapeutic benefits through peer support and social interaction, while still maintaining appropriate personal space.
Each room is thoughtfully designed with essential amenities and storage space, allowing teenagers to feel at home during their stay while focusing on their treatment journey.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medication management plays a key role in our thorough treatment approach at Montville Adolescent Center. Before making any changes to existing medications or prescribing new ones, we’ll discuss all options with parents or guardians to guarantee complete transparency and agreement with the proposed treatment plan.
For teens who already have a psychiatrist or primary care provider managing their medications, we’ll need a signed Release of Information (ROI) form to facilitate communication with these healthcare professionals. This allows us to verify previous treatment protocols and coordinate any medication adjustments during your teen’s stay with us.
We’re committed to maintaining open lines of communication regarding medication management, guaranteeing that all post-treatment care plans are properly documented and shared with your teen’s regular healthcare providers.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Every teen in our program must follow clear behavioral guidelines designed to create a safe, structured, and therapeutic environment.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve established essential rules that include maintaining respectful interactions with staff and peers, participating in all scheduled activities and therapy sessions, and following our structured daily schedule.
We enforce strict policies regarding contraband items, appropriate dress code, and proper behavior during group activities and educational sessions.
Additionally, we require teens to adhere to our communication guidelines, which regulate phone calls and visitation privileges, while maintaining appropriate boundaries with other residents.
These rules aren’t just about discipline; they’re fundamental to creating an environment where healing, growth, and recovery can flourish while ensuring everyone’s safety and well-being.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
When considering out-of-state treatment options for your teen, several key advantages emerge.
We’ve found that physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences often creates a fresh start, allowing teens to focus entirely on their recovery journey. Distance treatment can also minimize disruptions from peers who might interfere with the healing process.
Additionally, we’ve observed that out-of-state care provides an opportunity for teens to develop new perspectives and coping mechanisms in a neutral environment, free from the pressures of their home community.
At Montville Adolescent Center, our location’s accessibility to major metropolitan areas makes it an ideal choice for families seeking quality care beyond their immediate vicinity, while still maintaining the ability to participate in regular family therapy sessions and Sunday visitations.
How do I get started?
Starting your teen’s recovery journey at Montville Adolescent Center involves a straightforward three-step process.
First, you’ll connect with our admissions team to complete a brief, 10-minute phone assessment that helps us understand your teen’s specific needs and guarantees we’re the right fit for their treatment.
