Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
At Guardian Recovery’s Montville Adolescent Center, we’re committed to addressing parents’ most pressing questions about our teen rehab program, including insurance coverage, visitation policies, educational continuity, and room arrangements.
We recognize that families need thorough support throughout their teenager’s recovery journey, which is why we offer regular family therapy sessions, weekly updates, and dedicated visiting hours every Sunday.
Through our partnerships with local schools, 1:1 staff ratio, and mix of private and semi-private rooms, we’ve created an environment where teens can focus on both their recovery and academic progress while receiving the individualized attention they need.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Most insurance plans cover teen addiction treatment, thanks to two key federal laws – the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
These regulations guarantee that insurance providers must include coverage for substance use disorder treatment as an essential health benefit, while preventing them from imposing stricter limitations on mental health services compared to medical care.
We accept most major insurance plans, and we’re committed to helping families understand their coverage options.
Our admissions team will verify your benefits and provide a detailed breakdown of any out-of-pocket costs before treatment begins.
If you don’t have insurance, we’ll work with you to investigate alternative payment arrangements, as we believe that financial concerns shouldn’t prevent teens from receiving the care they need.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
During treatment at Montville Adolescent Center, families can visit their teens on Sundays during designated hours.
To ensure the safety and therapeutic integrity of our program, we limit visitation to family members and legal guardians who are at least 18 years old, and all visitors must receive prior approval from our clinical staff.
We have found that successful family visits play a crucial role in the recovery process, which is why we require all visitors to attend a Family Support Session before spending time with their teen.
During these sessions, we provide guidance on productive communication strategies and discuss your teen’s progress in treatment.
Our structured visitation policy helps maintain the therapeutic environment while fostering essential family connections that support long-term recovery success.
Do you offer support to family members?
Yes, we offer extensive support to family members throughout their teen’s recovery journey. Our thorough family program includes regular therapy sessions, educational workshops, and ongoing communication to help parents and guardians grasp their teen’s treatment progress and challenges.
Through our family-centric approach, we provide weekly updates from our clinical team, facilitate structured family therapy sessions, and offer guidance on supporting recovery at home.
We recognize that addiction affects the entire family system, which is why we’ve developed resources that address common concerns, teach effective communication strategies, and help rebuild trust between family members.
Additionally, we connect families with local support groups and provide educational materials about substance use disorders, enabling parents to better comprehend and support their teen’s recovery process.
What educational coordination is offered?
To guarantee students maintain their academic progress while in treatment, our educational coordination team works directly with each teen’s home school district.
We dedicate two hours daily to structured academic pursuits, ensuring seamless curriculum integration and attendance credit continuation during the recovery process.
Our extensive educational support includes coordinating with teachers and guidance counselors to gather current assignments, facilitating make-up work arrangements, and providing progress updates to schools.
We’ve established partnerships with local districts to maintain academic continuity, understanding that education plays a crucial role in long-term recovery success.
Through our structured academic environment, we’re committed to preventing any educational setbacks, allowing students to shift smoothly back to their regular classroom settings after completing treatment.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Montville Adolescent Center offers both private and semi-private room options for teens in treatment. We recognize that maintaining personal space and privacy is essential for our clients’ comfort and recovery process, which is why we’ve thoughtfully designed our residential accommodations to meet these needs.
Our gender-specific housing floors provide an additional layer of privacy and security for all residents.
While we can’t guarantee private room placement, as room assignments depend on various factors including availability and clinical recommendations, we make certain that all our living spaces are comfortable, well-maintained, and conducive to healing.
Each room, whether private or semi-private, is equipped with essential amenities and regularly monitored by our staff to maintain a safe, structured environment that supports our teens’ journey toward recovery.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medical professionals at our facility carefully manage and prescribe medications when clinically appropriate for teens in treatment. Before making any changes to existing medications or prescribing new ones, we’ll discuss all options with parents or guardians to guarantee informed decisions about their teen’s care.
To provide thorough care coordination, we request that parents sign a Release of Information (ROI) form if their teen has an existing psychiatrist or primary care provider. This authorization allows us to communicate effectively with these healthcare providers, verify previous treatment protocols, and share important updates about medication adjustments during the teen’s stay.
Through this collaborative approach, we can guarantee continuity of care and develop the most effective medication management strategy for your teen’s treatment and recovery journey.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
While maintaining a supportive environment, our teen treatment program follows clear behavioral guidelines and rules designed to guarantee safety, respect, and therapeutic progress.
We require teens to participate in all scheduled activities, including therapy sessions, academic work, and group meetings, while maintaining appropriate boundaries with peers and staff. Our rules prohibit physical aggression, romantic relationships, and possession of contraband items, such as drugs, weapons, or unauthorized electronics.
We’ve established structured daily routines that include designated times for meals, therapy, academics, and recreation, with specific guidelines around appropriate dress code and personal hygiene.
All communication with family and friends must be approved by our clinical team, and we maintain strict protocols regarding visitation to uphold the therapeutic environment remains secure and focused on recovery.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Choosing an out-of-state treatment facility for your teenager offers several strategic advantages in their recovery journey. By creating physical distance from negative influences and triggers at home, we’ve found that teens can fully focus on their recovery without local distractions or pressures.
Additionally, this separation often helps break unhealthy patterns and relationships that may have contributed to substance use.
We’ve observed that out-of-state treatment can provide a fresh perspective and renewed sense of purpose, as teens are removed from their familiar environment. This change of scenery, combined with our thorough treatment approach at Montville Adolescent Center, allows adolescents to develop new coping mechanisms and life skills in a neutral setting.
Our location, just 45 minutes from Manhattan, offers accessibility while maintaining the benefits of distance from home environments.

Starting the admission process at Montville Adolescent Center involves a straightforward three-step process.
First, you’ll connect with our admissions team, who’ll conduct a brief 10-minute pre-assessment over the phone to guarantee we’re the right fit for your teen’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, once we’ve completed these initial steps, we’ll schedule your teen’s intake appointment at our Towaco, New Jersey facility.
During intake, we’ll gather thorough information about your teen’s medical history, current challenges, and treatment goals, allowing us to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses their unique circumstances and needs.
