Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize parents have many questions about our teen rehab program, including concerns about insurance coverage, family visits, educational continuity, and accommodation arrangements.
Through our thorough insurance verification process, regular family visitation opportunities, and educational coordination with home schools, we guarantee both teens and families receive the support needed during treatment.
From private and semi-private room options to our structured family therapy sessions and academic programming, we’ve thoughtfully designed our program to address the common concerns that families express when considering treatment for their teenager.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance coverage for addiction treatment is protected by federal law. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), insurance providers must cover essential health benefits, including substance use disorder treatment and mental health services.
We’re pleased to accept most major insurance plans, and our experienced admissions team will help verify your benefits to determine coverage specifics for our teen treatment programs.
When you contact us, we’ll conduct a thorough review of your insurance plan, explaining your coverage levels, potential out-of-pocket expenses, and any pre-authorization requirements.
If you don’t have insurance coverage, we’ll discuss alternative payment options to guarantee your teen can access the care they need, as we believe financial concerns shouldn’t be a barrier to receiving quality treatment.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
While navigating treatment options and insurance coverage is the beginning of your teen’s recovery journey, many parents wonder about staying connected during their child’s rehabilitation.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve established a structured visitation program that occurs every Sunday during designated hours, allowing families to maintain essential connections while respecting the therapeutic process.
We recognize the importance of family involvement, which is why we’ve implemented specific guidelines to ensure productive visits.
Family members and guardians who are at least 18 years old can visit, but they must first receive approval from our clinical staff and participate in a Family Support Session.
This requirement helps create a supportive environment that aligns with your teen’s treatment goals while maintaining the integrity of their recovery process.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family support stands at the core of our adolescent treatment philosophy, which is why we offer three key resources for parents and guardians.
First, we provide weekly family therapy sessions that help address underlying dynamics and build stronger communication patterns between teens and their families.
Second, we’ll keep you updated on your teen’s progress through regular check-ins with our clinical team, ensuring you’re always informed about their treatment journey.
Finally, we offer educational workshops where families can learn about addiction, mental health, and effective support strategies.
We understand that having a teen in treatment affects the entire family system, which is why we’ve designed our family support program to provide you with the tools, knowledge, and guidance needed to support your teen’s recovery journey effectively.
What educational coordination is offered?
Our educational coordinators actively partner with each teen’s home school district to maintain academic progress during treatment. We dedicate two hours daily to structured academics, guaranteeing students don’t fall behind while focusing on their recovery.
Our staff works closely with teachers and administrators to align coursework, facilitate attendance credits, and create individualized learning plans that meet district requirements.
In addition to standard academics, we integrate educational components throughout our therapeutic program, including study skills development and organizational strategies.
During a teen’s stay, we’ll maintain regular communication with their school, providing progress updates and coordinating any necessary accommodations.
This thorough approach helps guarantee a smoother shift back to the regular school environment once treatment is complete, allowing students to continue their academic journey without significant disruption.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Teens entering treatment have two rooming options at Montville Adolescent Center – private rooms or semi-private rooms with a roommate.
We’ve thoughtfully designed our gender-specific housing floors to provide a safe, comfortable environment that supports recovery and personal growth during treatment.
While we recognize that some teens prefer the privacy of their own space, we’ve found that sharing a room can offer valuable therapeutic benefits, including the development of social skills and peer support.
When determining room assignments, our clinical team carefully considers each teen’s individual needs, treatment goals, and personality dynamics to guarantee the most beneficial living arrangement.
We’re committed to maintaining a structured, supportive environment where teens can focus on their recovery journey while feeling secure and comfortable in their living space.
Do you prescribe medications?
Beyond providing comfortable living spaces, medication management plays a key role in many teens’ treatment plans. At our facility, we’ll discuss any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions with parents or guardians before implementation, guaranteeing complete transparency in your child’s care.
To maintain seamless coordination of medication management, we ask parents to sign a Release of Information (ROI) form if their teen already has a psychiatrist or primary care provider.
This documentation allows us to communicate effectively with these healthcare professionals during your child’s stay, verifying previous treatment protocols and discussing any medication adjustments.
We’ll also make certain that all necessary information regarding medication changes or additions is properly communicated for post-treatment care, supporting a thorough continuum of treatment.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we maintain clear behavioral expectations and guidelines that every teen must follow throughout their treatment journey. Our rules are designed to create a safe, respectful, and therapeutic environment where recovery can flourish.
Each client must participate in all scheduled activities, maintain appropriate boundaries with peers, and follow our structured daily routine.
We’ve established specific guidelines around communication devices, as teens aren’t permitted to have cell phones or personal electronics during their stay.
Additionally, we require all residents to respect quiet hours, keep their living spaces tidy, and engage respectfully with staff and fellow clients.
While these rules may seem strict, they’re essential for fostering accountability, building healthy habits, and ensuring every teen can focus completely on their recovery journey.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
When considering out-of-state treatment options, families often reveal several key advantages. At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance can create a beneficial separation from negative influences and triggers, allowing teens to focus entirely on their recovery journey.
In addition, out-of-state treatment often provides a fresh perspective and renewed commitment to change.
We’ve observed that teens who travel for treatment benefit from our specialized programs that may not be available closer to home, including our 1:1 staff-to-client ratio and thorough academic support.
Moreover, the change in environment can help break established patterns while providing anonymity, which we’ve seen reduce the stigma some teens feel about seeking treatment.
Our location, just 45 minutes from Manhattan, offers the perfect balance of accessibility and therapeutic distance.
How do I get started?
Starting the admissions process at Montville Adolescent Center involves three simple steps.
First, you’ll speak with one of our admissions counselors who’ll conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment of your teen over the phone to guarantee our program aligns with their needs.
Next, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and discuss payment options to determine coverage and any out-of-pocket expenses.

What truly sets us apart is our commitment to maintaining academic progress while in treatment, as we partner directly with each teen’s school district to guarantee educational continuity.
