Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
At Guardian Recovery’s Montville Adolescent Center, we recognize parents have many questions about our teen rehabilitation program, including concerns about insurance coverage, family involvement, and educational continuity.
We’re committed to making the treatment process transparent, with most insurance plans covering treatment costs, weekly family visits permitted during designated hours, and extensive academic support through partnerships with local schools.
Our facility offers both private and semi-private rooms, and our family-centric approach includes regular therapy sessions, workshops, and ongoing support to help strengthen family relationships throughout the recovery journey.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers all or part of teen addiction treatment costs due to key healthcare regulations. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) mandates that insurance providers must cover essential health benefits, including mental health and substance use disorder treatment, while the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) guarantees equal access to addiction and mental health benefits.
We accept most major insurance plans at Montville Adolescent Center, and we’ll work directly with your provider to maximize your coverage. Our admissions team can verify your benefits and explain exactly what’s covered, including detox services, residential treatment, and therapy programs.
If you don’t have insurance or need additional financial options, we’ll discuss alternative payment arrangements to make certain your teen gets the care they need. Contact us for a confidential benefits check and detailed cost breakdown.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Visiting your teen during treatment follows a structured schedule, with designated hours every Sunday at Montville Adolescent Center.
We prioritize the safety and therapeutic progress of our clients, which is why we require all visitors to be family members or legal guardians who are at least 18 years old, with prior approval from our clinical staff.
Before participating in visitation, we require family members to attend a Family Support Session, which helps create a more meaningful and supportive interaction during visits.
This requirement ensures that visits contribute positively to your teen’s recovery journey while maintaining the integrity of our treatment program.
We’ll work closely with you to coordinate these sessions and provide guidance on making the most of your visitation time while supporting your teen’s progress in treatment.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family support programs form an essential part of our teen rehabilitation services. Through our thorough family therapy sessions, we help parents and guardians grasp their child’s challenges while providing tools to support their recovery journey.
We realize that addiction affects the entire family system, which is why we offer weekly family support sessions, educational workshops, and regular updates on your teen’s progress.
Our family-centered approach includes detailed instruction on establishing healthy boundaries, improving communication patterns, and recognizing early warning signs of relapse.
During your teen’s stay at Montville Adolescent Center, we’ll work closely with you through structured family therapy sessions, and we’ll provide resources to help you prepare for your teen’s eventual shift home.
Additionally, we offer ongoing support groups for family members to connect with others facing similar challenges.
What educational coordination is offered?
While supporting the whole family is essential to recovery, we also prioritize your teen’s academic progress during treatment. We partner directly with your child’s home school district to guarantee continuity in their education, maintaining attendance credits and aligning with their current curriculum requirements.
Our program incorporates two hours of dedicated academic time each day, including structured educational activities and physical education components.
We’ve designed our academic support system to prevent your teen from falling behind while they focus on their recovery journey. Through our collaborative approach with schools, careful curriculum integration, and individualized attention during study periods, we help guarantee a smooth progression back to regular academic life once treatment is complete.
Will my teenager have their own room?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options for teens in our treatment program.
Our thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize comfort, safety, and therapeutic healing while maintaining appropriate supervision and structure during the recovery process.
In our gender-specific housing floors, we’ve created environments that help teens feel secure and supported throughout their stay.
While many of our clients share rooms with one carefully matched peer, which can foster positive social connections and mutual support during treatment, we recognize that some teenagers may benefit from private accommodations.
We’ll work with you and your family to determine the most appropriate room arrangement based on your teen’s specific needs, clinical recommendations, and available space at the time of admission.
Do you prescribe medications?
Beyond providing comfortable living arrangements, medication management plays a key role in our all-encompassing treatment approach.
When it comes to prescribing medications, we maintain clear communication with parents and guardians, discussing any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions before implementation.
We’ll work closely with your teen’s current psychiatrist or primary care provider, which is why we request a signed Release of Information (ROI) form to facilitate seamless communication.
This collaboration guarantees we can verify previous treatments and effectively communicate any medication adjustments during and after your child’s stay with us.
Our medical team carefully evaluates each teen’s needs, guaranteeing that any prescribed medications support their overall treatment plan while maintaining the highest standards of care.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Our treatment center maintains several essential rules designed to create a safe, structured, and therapeutic environment for all teens in recovery.
We’ve established clear expectations regarding respectful behavior, participation in therapy sessions, and adherence to daily schedules. Teens must maintain appropriate boundaries with peers, follow dress code guidelines, and refrain from any physical contact or romantic relationships during treatment.
Additionally, we strictly prohibit the possession of drugs, alcohol, weapons, or unauthorized medications, and we don’t allow personal electronic devices, including cell phones, to guarantee focused engagement in recovery.
While these rules may seem strict, they’re vital for maintaining the therapeutic environment that supports successful outcomes. We’ve found that teens who embrace these guidelines typically experience more meaningful progress in their recovery journey.
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 strategic advantages for their recovery journey.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences often creates a fresh perspective that enhances the healing process. The change in environment helps teens focus solely on their recovery without daily distractions from their usual social circles.
Additionally, out-of-state treatment allows adolescents to establish healthy boundaries and develop independent coping skills away from enabling relationships.
We’ve observed that this geographical separation can strengthen family dynamics, as both parents and teens learn to communicate more effectively during scheduled family therapy sessions.
Our location, just 45 minutes from Manhattan, provides the perfect balance of accessibility and therapeutic distance while offering extensive care in a serene setting.
How do I get started?
Starting treatment for your teenager is a straightforward process that begins with a simple phone call to our admissions team.
Upon contacting us, one of our dedicated counselors will conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment over the phone to guarantee we’re the right fit for your child’s specific needs and circumstances.
After completing the initial assessment, we’ll verify your insurance benefits, if applicable, and discuss any financial considerations or payment options that might be relevant to your situation.
Once these preliminary steps are complete, we’ll work with you to arrange a convenient intake time at our Montville Adolescent Center.
Throughout this process, our experienced admissions team will guide you through each step, answer your questions, and make certain you have all the information needed to begin your teen’s journey toward recovery.
