Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
At Guardian Recovery’s Montville Adolescent Center, we’re committed to addressing parents’ most pressing concerns about our teen rehabilitation program, including insurance coverage, visitation policies, family support services, educational coordination, and rooming arrangements.
We recognize that sending your teenager to treatment involves many important questions, which is why our admissions team is available 24/7 to provide detailed answers and verify insurance benefits.
Through our extensive support system, we guarantee families receive clear information about our programs, including our Sunday visitation hours, academic partnerships with local schools, and options for both private and semi-private rooms.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Thanks to federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), insurance typically covers all or part of teen addiction treatment costs.
The ACA mandates that insurance providers include coverage for essential health benefits, which encompass both mental health and substance use disorder treatment programs.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ll work directly with your insurance company to determine your specific coverage levels and out-of-pocket expenses.
While we accept most major insurance plans, we recommend speaking with one of our admissions counselors who can verify your benefits and explain your coverage in detail.
If you don’t have insurance, we’ll discuss alternative payment options to guarantee your teen can access the care they need.
Our goal is to make treatment accessible while minimizing financial stress during this challenging time.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Understanding visiting policies is often a top concern for parents considering treatment for their teens. At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve established clear, structured visitation guidelines to support our clients’ recovery while maintaining vital family connections.
Designated visiting hours take place on Sundays, and we welcome family members and legal guardians who are 18 years or older to participate in these important moments of connection.
Before any visits can occur, we require all potential visitors to receive approval from our clinical staff and attend a mandatory Family Support Session. This requirement ensures that visits contribute positively to your teen’s treatment progress and that family members understand how to best support their loved one’s recovery journey.
We’ve found that this structured approach helps create meaningful, therapeutic interactions during visitation time.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family support forms a cornerstone of our adolescent treatment program at Montville Adolescent Center. We offer thorough family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular progress updates to guarantee parents and guardians remain actively involved in their teen’s recovery journey.
Through our Family Support Sessions, which are required before visitation, we provide essential tools and strategies to help families understand addiction, improve communication, and create a supportive home environment.
Our clinical team works closely with family members to address underlying issues, establish healthy boundaries, and develop practical coping mechanisms that benefit the entire family unit.
We also maintain open lines of communication between our staff and families, providing weekly updates on treatment progress and offering guidance on how to best support their teen throughout the recovery process.
What educational coordination is offered?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we team up with each teen’s home school district to guarantee academic progress continues during treatment. Our structured academic program includes two daily hours of focused educational activities, ensuring students maintain their academic momentum while addressing their recovery needs.
We’ve developed a thorough system for coordinating with schools to facilitate attendance credits and align with existing curricula, making the eventual shift back to regular classes as smooth as possible.
Our dedicated academic support staff works closely with teachers and school administrators to track assignments, manage coursework, and provide progress updates.
Through our established partnerships with local school districts, we’re able to create individualized educational plans that complement our therapeutic programming while keeping students on track for graduation.
Will my teenager have their own room?
When it comes to room arrangements at Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private rooms for our teen residents.
Our thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize comfort, safety, and therapeutic benefit while maintaining appropriate supervision and structure throughout treatment.
We’ve organized our facility with gender-specific housing floors, ensuring that all residents feel secure and comfortable during their stay.
Each room, whether private or semi-private, comes equipped with essential amenities and is situated within our serene campus setting.
While we can’t guarantee private room availability, as placement depends on various clinical factors and current occupancy, we’ll work with families to determine the most appropriate rooming arrangement that supports their teenager’s treatment goals and personal needs.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medication management plays an essential role in our extensive treatment approach, and we partner directly with parents or guardians on all medication decisions. Before making any changes or prescribing new medications, our medical team carefully discusses options with families to guarantee complete understanding and agreement.
We’ll work closely with your teen’s existing healthcare providers, which is why we request signed Release of Information (ROI) forms to facilitate seamless communication about treatment plans and medication adjustments.
Our extensive medication management strategy includes daily monitoring, regular assessments, and detailed documentation of your teen’s response to prescribed medications. Additionally, we guarantee that any new prescriptions or modifications are thoroughly communicated to your child’s primary care physician or psychiatrist to maintain continuity of care after treatment completion.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Our teen treatment program maintains clear behavioral guidelines and rules that create a safe, structured environment conducive to recovery.
While in our care, teens must follow our daily schedule, attend all therapy sessions and academic periods, participate actively in group activities, and maintain appropriate boundaries with peers.
We’ve established strict policies regarding contraband items, and we don’t permit cell phones or unauthorized electronic devices during treatment.
Additionally, we require respectful behavior toward staff and other residents, proper hygiene maintenance, and compliance with medication protocols when prescribed.
During family visits, which occur on Sundays, teens must remain in designated areas and follow visitation guidelines.
We enforce these rules consistently to guarantee everyone’s safety while promoting accountability and structure, which are essential components of the recovery process.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Several compelling benefits exist when considering out-of-state care for your teenager’s recovery journey. At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences often creates a vital reset opportunity, allowing teens to focus entirely on their recovery without local distractions.
The change in environment can also help break established patterns of behavior while providing a fresh perspective.
Additionally, our location’s accessibility, just 45 minutes from Manhattan and two hours from Philadelphia, guarantees that families can still maintain regular involvement through our Sunday visitation programs and family therapy sessions.
We’ve consistently observed that teens who receive treatment away from their usual surroundings often develop stronger coping mechanisms and demonstrate increased commitment to their recovery journey.
How do I get started?
Taking the first step toward teen addiction treatment is straightforward and confidential at Montville Adolescent Center. When you reach out to us, one of our dedicated admissions counselors will conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment over the phone to verify we’re the right fit for your teen’s specific needs.
After completing the initial assessment, we’ll work with you to confirm your insurance benefits and investigate payment options that align with your financial situation.
Once we’ve addressed the financial aspects, we’ll schedule an intake appointment that works with your schedule. Throughout this process, our compassionate team will guide you through each step, answer your questions, and ensure you understand what to expect from our extensive treatment program, making the change into care as smooth as possible for both you and your teen.
