Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that families have many questions when considering teen rehab treatment, from insurance coverage and visitation policies to educational support and living arrangements.
Our admissions team is ready to explain how most insurance plans cover treatment costs, our weekly family visitation program, and our partnerships with local schools to maintain academic progress during your teen’s stay.
Within our facility, we offer both private and semi-private rooms, alongside extensive family support services that include therapy sessions, workshops, and regular progress updates to keep you connected throughout your teen’s recovery journey.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance coverage for teen addiction treatment is extensive thanks to key federal regulations. Through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), insurance providers must cover essential mental health and substance use disorder treatments, including teen rehab programs like ours at Montville Adolescent Center.
We’re pleased to accept most major insurance plans, and we’ll help you understand your coverage. Our admissions team can verify your benefits and explain what portion of treatment costs your insurance will cover.
If you’re concerned about expenses, we’ll walk you through your options, including payment plans for any out-of-pocket costs. While coverage varies by policy, many families find that their insurance considerably reduces the financial burden of getting their teen the help they need.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Beyond understanding insurance coverage, parents often want to know about staying connected with their teen during treatment. At Montville Adolescent Center, we recognize the crucial importance of maintaining family connections throughout the recovery process, which is why we’ve established structured visitation opportunities every Sunday during designated hours.
Our visitation policy maintains important boundaries while supporting family involvement: visitors must be family members or guardians who are at least 18 years old, and all visitors require prior approval from our clinical staff.
Additionally, we require participation in a Family Support Session before visitation can begin, as this helps guarantee that interactions remain therapeutically beneficial.
This balanced approach allows parents to stay connected with their teens while maintaining the structured environment necessary for successful treatment outcomes.
Do you offer support to family members?
Throughout the recovery journey, family support plays an essential role in achieving successful outcomes for teens struggling with substance use disorders. We offer extensive family support services, including weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular progress updates to keep parents actively involved in their teen’s recovery process.
Our dedicated family program helps parents and siblings understand addiction, develop healthy communication strategies, and learn effective ways to support their loved one’s sobriety.
Additionally, we provide specialized support groups for family members, where they can connect with others facing similar challenges, share experiences, and learn valuable coping skills.
Our family therapy sessions address underlying family dynamics, establish boundaries, and create a strong foundation for lasting recovery, while our clinical team remains available to answer questions and provide guidance throughout the treatment process.
What educational coordination is offered?
While supporting families is a key part of our program, we also prioritize our teens’ academic progress during treatment.
We’ve established strong partnerships with local school districts to guarantee our clients don’t fall behind academically, integrating their home school curriculum into our daily schedule through dedicated educational time blocks.
During treatment, we provide two hours of structured academic support each day, working closely with each teen’s school to maintain attendance credits and curriculum alignment.
Our educational coordinators communicate regularly with teachers and guidance counselors, ensuring a seamless shift both into and out of our program.
We’re committed to helping our clients stay on track with their studies while they focus on recovery, which is why we’ve developed extensive systems for managing schoolwork, coordinating assignments, and facilitating make-up work when necessary.
Will my teenager have their own room?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options for our teen residents. Our thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize comfort, security, and a therapeutic environment that supports recovery and personal growth.
Understanding that privacy needs vary among our clients, we work with families to determine the most appropriate room arrangement for each teen’s specific situation.
Our gender-specific housing floors guarantee appropriate separation, while our professional staff maintains 24/7 supervision to ensure safety and support.
Each room, whether private or semi-private, comes fully furnished with essential amenities and is regularly maintained to our high standards of cleanliness.
Additionally, we’ve carefully designed our living spaces to create a home-like atmosphere that helps teens feel comfortable while maintaining appropriate clinical standards.
Do you prescribe medications?
Beyond our comfortable living arrangements, medication management plays a key role in our extensive treatment approach.
At our facility, we’ll collaborate closely with parents and guardians before implementing any new medications or adjusting existing prescriptions, ensuring complete transparency in your teen’s treatment plan.
If your teenager currently works with a psychiatrist or primary care provider, we’ll need a signed Release of Information (ROI) form to maintain seamless communication during their stay with us.
This coordination allows us to verify previous treatment protocols and effectively communicate any medication changes that may be necessary for post-treatment care.
We’re committed to creating a comprehensive medication management strategy that supports your teen’s recovery while keeping you informed every step of the way.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Our teen treatment program maintains clear behavioral guidelines and expectations to create a safe, structured environment conducive to recovery.
We require all teens to follow our core rules, which include attending all scheduled therapy sessions, participating in group activities, respecting staff and peers, maintaining personal hygiene, and adhering to designated quiet hours.
Additionally, we prohibit any form of violence, bullying, or inappropriate physical contact, and we don’t allow personal electronic devices, including cell phones, to guarantee clients remain focused on their recovery journey.
To maintain program integrity, we also enforce strict policies regarding contraband items, appropriate dress code, and structured daily schedules, while our clinical team regularly monitors compliance and addresses any behavioral concerns through therapeutic interventions and family communication.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
While structured rules provide a foundation for recovery, choosing an out-of-state treatment facility can offer distinct advantages for teenagers struggling with addiction.
We’ve found that physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences often creates a necessary mental separation, allowing teens to focus entirely on their recovery journey. At our Montville Adolescent Center, located 45 minutes from Manhattan, we provide a fresh environment where teens can break free from destructive patterns and social pressures that may have contributed to their substance use.
Additionally, out-of-state treatment helps eliminate the possibility of leaving against medical advice, as transportation limitations naturally encourage program completion.
This geographical separation also enables families to work on their dynamics through our structured family therapy sessions, while teens develop new perspectives and coping mechanisms in a neutral setting.
How do I get started?
Starting the admissions process for your teen is straightforward and can be completed in up to three simple steps.
First, call our admissions team to connect with a dedicated counselor who’ll conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment of your teenager over the phone, guaranteeing we’re the ideal match for their needs.
Next, we’ll verify your insurance benefits, if applicable, and discuss payment options to determine coverage and out-of-pocket expenses.
Finally, once we’ve confirmed that Montville Adolescent Center is the right fit, we’ll schedule an intake appointment at a time that works for your family.
Throughout this process, our compassionate team will guide you, answer any questions, and guarantee you understand what to expect as your teen begins their journey toward recovery.
