Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
At Guardian Recovery’s Montville Adolescent Center, we recognize parents have many questions about our teen rehab program, from insurance coverage and family visitation policies to educational support and living arrangements.
We’re committed to providing thorough answers about our personalized treatment approach, including our Sunday visitation hours, extensive family therapy programs, and coordination with your teen’s school district to maintain academic progress.
While most insurance plans cover treatment costs, we encourage families to connect with our admissions team for a detailed benefits review, room arrangement options, and guidance through our streamlined admission process.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers all or part of teen addiction treatment costs, thanks to key healthcare legislation like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
These federal laws guarantee that insurance providers must include coverage for mental health and substance use disorder treatment as essential health benefits.
We accept most major insurance plans and will work directly with your provider to maximize your coverage for your teen’s treatment.
Our experienced admissions team can verify your benefits and explain exactly what’s covered, including detox services, residential treatment, and therapeutic programs.
While coverage varies by policy, we’ll help you understand your out-of-pocket costs and investigate additional payment options if needed.
Don’t let concerns about insurance prevent you from getting your teen the help they need.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Parents and guardians can visit their teens during designated hours on Sundays at Montville Adolescent Center.
We recognize how significant it’s to maintain family connections during treatment, which is why we’ve established a structured visitation program that supports recovery while keeping families connected.
Before any visits can occur, we require all visitors to be at least 18 years old and receive approval from our clinical staff.
Additionally, family members must participate in a Family Support Session, which helps create a more meaningful and therapeutic visiting experience.
These sessions provide valuable insights into your teen’s progress and equip you with tools to support their recovery journey.
We’ll work with you to ensure visits align with your teen’s treatment plan while fostering the vital family bonds that contribute to long-term success.
Do you offer support to family members?
Through our thorough family support program, we provide extensive resources and guidance to help families maneuver their teen’s recovery journey. We recognize that addiction affects the entire family unit, which is why we’ve developed extensive support services, including weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and support groups.
Our family-centered approach includes regular progress updates, dedicated family counseling sessions, and specialized workshops that address vital topics like communication skills, boundary-setting, and relapse prevention.
Additionally, we offer a weekly Family Support Session that’s mandatory before visitation, ensuring parents and guardians are actively involved in their teen’s treatment process. Through these structured interactions, we help families develop the tools and insight needed to support their teen’s long-term recovery while healing together as a family unit.
What educational coordination is offered?
While family support forms a key part of recovery, we recognize that maintaining academic progress is also essential for teens in treatment.
We’ve developed extensive partnerships with local school districts to guarantee our clients stay on track academically during their recovery journey, dedicating two hours each day to structured educational activities and physical education.
Our academic coordination includes working directly with each teen’s home school to facilitate attendance credits and align with their existing curriculum requirements.
We’ll communicate regularly with teachers and school administrators to guarantee a seamless educational experience, and our staff provides additional tutoring support when needed.
Through this integrated approach, we help prevent academic setbacks while maintaining the focus on recovery, making the eventual shift back to school much smoother for our clients.
Will my teenager have their own room?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options for our teen residents.
We recognize that having appropriate personal space is essential for recovery and emotional well-being, which is why we’ve thoughtfully designed our accommodations to provide a comfortable, healing environment.
Our private rooms offer teens a space for quiet reflection and personal growth, while our semi-private rooms foster positive peer interactions under careful supervision.
Each room is located on gender-specific housing floors, ensuring appropriate boundaries and comfort levels for all residents.
When determining room assignments, we take into consideration various factors, including clinical recommendations, individual needs, and family preferences, to create the most therapeutic living arrangement for each teen in our care.
Do you prescribe medications?
Any medication decisions at Montville Adolescent Center are carefully managed through close collaboration between our medical team, parents, and guardians.
We’ll discuss any new prescriptions or changes to existing medications with you before implementing them, guaranteeing you’re fully informed and comfortable with our treatment approach.
If your teen currently works with a psychiatrist or primary care provider, we’ll need you to complete our Release of Information (ROI) form, which allows us to communicate effectively with these healthcare professionals during your child’s stay.
This collaboration helps us verify previous treatments and guarantee continuity of care, while also enabling us to communicate any medication adjustments that may be needed for post-treatment success.
Our medical team prioritizes both safety and effectiveness when making any medication-related decisions.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Structure and rules form the foundation of our teen rehabilitation program at Montville Adolescent Center. We maintain clear expectations that all clients must follow, including attending all scheduled therapy sessions, participating in daily activities, respecting staff and peers, and maintaining appropriate boundaries.
Our clients must also adhere to our zero-tolerance policy for drugs, alcohol, violence, and inappropriate relationships.
We’ve established these guidelines to create a safe, therapeutic environment where teens can focus on their recovery. During their stay, clients must follow structured daily schedules, complete assigned therapeutic work, participate in academic studies, and maintain proper hygiene and room cleanliness.
Additionally, we restrict phone calls and internet access to designated times, while monitoring all forms of communication to guarantee safety and program compliance.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
While seeking treatment close to home may seem ideal, sending your teenager to an out-of-state facility like Montville Adolescent Center often provides significant advantages for recovery.
Out-of-state care creates physical distance from negative influences and triggers, allowing teens to focus entirely on their healing journey without local distractions or pressures from problematic peer groups.
We’ve found that geographical separation often helps reset unhealthy patterns and relationships while providing a fresh environment for personal growth.
Our location, just 45 minutes from Manhattan, offers the perfect balance of accessibility and distance, and we’re experienced in coordinating with out-of-state families to maintain strong connections through regular updates, virtual check-ins, and scheduled family therapy sessions that can accommodate travel needs.
How do I get started?
Taking the first step toward teen addiction treatment is straightforward at Montville Adolescent Center. Our admissions process begins with a simple phone call to our dedicated counselors, who’ll conduct a brief 10-minute pre-assessment to confirm we’re the right fit for your teenager’s needs and circumstances.
After completing the initial assessment, we’ll work directly with your insurance provider to verify benefits and determine coverage options, making the financial aspects as clear as possible.
For families without insurance, our team will discuss alternative payment arrangements to guarantee access to care.
Once these preliminary steps are complete, we’ll schedule an intake appointment that works with your schedule, allowing us to begin your teen’s personalized treatment journey at our facility in Towaco, New Jersey.
