Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
At Guardian Recovery’s Montville Adolescent Center, we recognize that families have many questions about our teen rehab program, including concerns about insurance coverage, visitation policies, and educational continuity during treatment.
We’re committed to working with most insurance providers, offering Sunday family visits after clinical approval, and maintaining strong partnerships with local schools to guarantee your teen stays on track academically.
Our facility provides both private and semi-private rooms, while our extensive family support programs, including therapy sessions and workshops, help create a strong foundation for lasting recovery.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance coverage is available for most or all of the costs associated with teen addiction treatment, thanks to federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
We’ve found that these laws guarantee insurance companies can’t place unfair limitations on addiction and mental health benefits, making treatment more accessible for families seeking help.
While coverage varies by plan, our admissions team will verify your benefits to determine exactly what’s covered and any out-of-pocket expenses you might incur.
We accept most major insurance plans, and for those without insurance, we’ll work with you to investigate additional payment options.
Our goal is to make treatment accessible, which is why we encourage families to contact us for a confidential insurance verification, even if they’re unsure about coverage.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Our facility proudly maintains a structured visitation program that allows parents and guardians to stay connected with their teens during treatment.
Designated visiting hours take place every Sunday, and we welcome family members and guardians who are 18 years or older to participate in these important connection opportunities.
Before any visits can occur, we require all potential visitors to receive approval from our clinical staff and attend a mandatory Family Support Session, which helps guarantee everyone understands their role in the recovery process.
We’ve designed our visitation policy to strike the perfect balance between maintaining strong family bonds and preserving the therapeutic environment that’s vital for your teen’s recovery journey.
Our experience shows that structured family involvement notably enhances treatment outcomes while providing essential emotional support.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family support extends far beyond our weekly visitation hours. We provide thorough family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular progress updates to guarantee parents and guardians remain actively involved in their teen’s recovery journey.
Our dedicated family support specialists work closely with relatives to address underlying family dynamics, improve communication patterns, and develop healthy coping strategies that benefit the entire household.
Through our structured family program, we offer weekly family therapy sessions, bi-weekly educational seminars on addiction and mental health, and support groups where family members can connect with others facing similar challenges.
We’ll also equip you with essential tools and resources to support your teen’s ongoing recovery after treatment, including relapse prevention strategies, boundary-setting techniques, and crisis management skills that strengthen the family unit’s resilience.
What educational coordination is offered?
Educational success remains a top priority during treatment, which is why we maintain strong partnerships with local school districts to guarantee seamless academic continuity.
We dedicate two hours each day to structured academic work, ensuring our students stay on track with their curriculum while receiving the treatment they need.
Our educational coordinators work directly with each teen’s home school to obtain current assignments, facilitate attendance credits, and align coursework with district requirements.
We’ll provide regular progress updates to both families and school administrators, while our certified teachers offer individualized support during study sessions.
Additionally, we incorporate physical education into our daily schedule, creating a well-rounded academic experience that supports both educational achievement and recovery goals.
Will my teenager have their own room?
While academics form a key part of our program, comfortable living arrangements are equally important for recovery success.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options in our gender-specific housing floors, guaranteeing that your teenager has an appropriate, therapeutic living space during their stay with us.
Our thoughtfully designed residential accommodations prioritize safety, comfort, and recovery-focused environments, with each room carefully arranged to promote healing and personal growth.
While we can’t promise private rooms for every client, we work diligently to create the best living arrangements that support each teen’s treatment journey.
Our staff carefully considers factors such as age, therapeutic needs, and individual circumstances when making room assignments to ensure the most beneficial recovery environment for each resident.
Do you prescribe medications?
At Montville Adolescent Center, any decisions about prescribing or adjusting medications require direct consultation with parents or legal guardians before proceeding.
We maintain close communication with your teen’s existing healthcare providers, which is why we’ll ask you to sign a Release of Information (ROI) form to facilitate collaboration with their psychiatrist or primary care physician. This documentation enables us to verify previous treatment protocols and guarantee continuity of care.
During your teen’s stay, our medical team may identify the need for medication adjustments or new prescriptions to support their recovery journey.
In these cases, we’ll thoroughly discuss all recommendations with you, explaining the potential benefits and any considerations.
We’re committed to transparent communication about your child’s medication management while guaranteeing their treatment plan remains thorough and effective.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Building on our commitment to structured care, Montville Adolescent Center maintains clear behavioral expectations and rules that help create a safe, supportive environment for all residents.
We require teens to follow schedules, attend all therapy sessions and academic classes, complete assignments, and participate actively in group activities. Additionally, residents must maintain appropriate boundaries, demonstrate respect for staff and peers, and refrain from any violent or disruptive behaviors.
To guarantee everyone’s safety and success in recovery, we prohibit the possession of drugs, alcohol, weapons, or unauthorized electronic devices.
We’ve established specific quiet hours, designated times for family contact, and guidelines for personal space maintenance. While these rules may seem strict, they’re essential for creating the structured, therapeutic environment that supports lasting recovery and personal growth.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Sending your teenager out of state for addiction treatment can provide several key advantages regarding recovery.
Distance from familiar triggers, negative peer influences, and established routines can create a fresh environment for healing, while our serene New Jersey location offers the perfect setting for focused rehabilitation. We’ve found that physical separation often allows teens to fully immerse themselves in treatment without daily distractions or pressures from their home environment.
Additionally, out-of-state treatment at Montville Adolescent Center provides access to our specialized programs and expert staff, who may not be available closer to home.
Our extensive academic support guarantees your teen won’t fall behind in school, while our family therapy sessions can be conducted both in-person and virtually, maintaining essential family connections throughout the recovery journey.
How do I get started?
Taking the first step toward teen addiction treatment is straightforward and begins with a simple phone call to our admissions team.
During this initial contact, our dedicated counselors will conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment of your teen to guarantee we’re the right fit for their specific needs and circumstances.
Once we’ve completed the pre-assessment, we’ll move forward with verifying your insurance benefits, if applicable, and discuss any additional payment options that might be necessary.
After addressing the financial aspects, we’ll work with you to arrange a convenient intake time that accommodates your schedule.
Our streamlined admission process is designed to minimize stress while maximizing efficiency, allowing us to begin helping your teen as quickly as possible during this pivotal time.
