Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
As parents investigate treatment options for their teenagers, we recognize you likely have many questions about insurance coverage, visitation policies, and educational support during your child’s stay.
We’re committed to providing thorough answers about our program details, from our insurance verification process and Sunday family visits to our partnerships with local schools that maintain academic progress.
Through our family-centered approach, we guarantee parents stay informed and involved while their teens receive private or semi-private room accommodations and expert care in our supportive environment.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Securing insurance coverage for teen addiction treatment is easier than ever, thanks to federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’re pleased to accept most major insurance plans, which typically cover all or part of detox and treatment costs.
We’ll work directly with your insurance provider to maximize your benefits and determine your out-of-pocket expenses. While coverage varies by plan, these federal regulations require insurance companies to provide mental health and substance use disorder benefits comparable to medical coverage.
We recognize that managing insurance can be overwhelming, which is why our admissions team will verify your benefits and explain your coverage in detail, ensuring you’re fully informed about treatment costs before moving forward with your teen’s care.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Understanding visitation policies helps parents stay connected with their teens during treatment at Montville Adolescent Center.
We’ve established designated visiting hours every Sunday, ensuring families can maintain meaningful contact while respecting the treatment program’s structure and therapeutic goals.
To maintain our commitment to safety and recovery, we’ve implemented specific guidelines for visitation.
Only family members and legal guardians who are 18 or older may visit, and all visitors must receive prior approval from our clinical staff.
Additionally, we require visitors to participate in a Family Support Session before their first visit, which helps create a more supportive environment for our teens’ recovery journey.
This thorough approach allows us to foster healing while maintaining essential family connections throughout the treatment process.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family involvement forms a cornerstone of our teen rehabilitation program at Montville Adolescent Center. We provide thorough support services for families, including weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular progress updates from our clinical team.
Through our Family Support Sessions, parents and guardians learn essential skills for supporting their teen’s recovery journey while addressing their own concerns and challenges.
Additionally, we offer specialized resources to help families comprehend substance use disorders, mental health issues, and effective communication strategies.
Our family program includes guidance on establishing healthy boundaries, rebuilding trust, and creating a supportive home environment.
We’re committed to equipping families with the tools they need, as we recognize that successful long-term recovery often depends on having a strong, informed support system at home.
What educational coordination is offered?
Beyond family support, educational progress remains a top priority at Montville Adolescent Center. We collaborate extensively with each client’s home school district to guarantee academic continuity, facilitating attendance credits and maintaining curriculum alignment during treatment.
Our program dedicates two structured hours daily to academic pursuits, including traditional studies and physical education.
To support our students’ educational journey, we’ve established partnerships with local schools, allowing us to integrate seamlessly with existing curricula and prevent academic disruption.
Our staff works diligently to coordinate assignments, tests, and progress reports, guaranteeing that teens don’t fall behind while focusing on their recovery.
This thorough approach to education management helps create a smoother shift back to regular schooling once treatment is completed.
Will my teenager have their own room?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options to accommodate your teenager’s needs during their stay.
Our thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize comfort, safety, and a therapeutic environment that supports recovery and personal growth.
We understand that room arrangements play a vital role in treatment success, which is why we’ve structured our facility with gender-specific housing floors to guarantee appropriate boundaries and privacy.
When determining room assignments, our clinical team carefully considers each client’s individual circumstances, treatment goals, and therapeutic needs.
While private rooms are available, many teenagers benefit from our semi-private arrangements, which can foster peer support and social skill development while maintaining appropriate supervision and personal space.
Do you prescribe medications?
In accordance with medical best practices, we carefully manage and prescribe medications as part of our thorough treatment approach. Before making any changes to existing medications or prescribing new ones, our medical team communicates directly with parents or guardians to discuss treatment plans and obtain necessary approvals.
To guarantee extensive care coordination, we request that families sign a Release of Information (ROI) form if their teen has an existing psychiatrist or primary care provider. This authorization enables our team to verify previous treatments and maintain open communication about medication adjustments throughout your teen’s stay.
Additionally, this collaborative approach allows us to effectively communicate any medication changes or additions that may be necessary for post-treatment care, guaranteeing a seamless shift when your teen returns home.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Structure and safety form the foundation of our teen rehabilitation program, which maintains clear behavioral expectations and rules that all residents must follow.
We’ve established thorough guidelines that include maintaining respect for staff and peers, attending all scheduled therapy sessions and activities, following the daily schedule, and adhering to our zero-tolerance policy for substances or contraband.
Our teens must also comply with our communication protocols, which limit phone calls and internet access to designated times, while participating fully in their academic requirements and therapeutic activities.
Additionally, we require all residents to maintain appropriate personal hygiene, keep their living spaces tidy, and follow our dress code guidelines.
These rules create a structured, therapeutic environment where teens can focus on their recovery while developing essential life skills and healthy boundaries.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Beyond our local program’s structure and rules, many parents wonder about sending their teen to an out-of-state facility for treatment. While our Montville Adolescent Center provides extensive care close to home, there can be distinct advantages to choosing an out-of-state program, including removal from negative peer influences and triggers that may exist locally.
Out-of-state treatment often provides a fresh environment where teens can focus solely on their recovery, free from the distractions of familiar surroundings and social pressures. Additionally, geographic distance can help break unhealthy patterns and relationships while allowing families to reset dynamics through structured visitation and therapy sessions.
However, we’ve found that our local program’s proximity to home enables stronger family involvement and easier shift back to daily life, which are essential factors in long-term recovery success.
How do I get started?
Getting started at Montville Adolescent Center’s teen rehab program involves a straightforward three-step process.
First, you’ll connect with our admissions team, who’ll guide you through a brief 10-minute pre-assessment phone call to confirm we’re the right fit for your teenager’s specific needs.
Next, we’ll work with you to verify your insurance benefits and discuss payment options, providing a clear understanding of your financial responsibilities.
Finally, we’ll schedule your teen’s intake appointment, during which we’ll complete necessary paperwork and begin developing their personalized treatment plan.
If you’re ready to take this important step, we’re here to help 24/7.
Our compassionate admissions counselors will walk you through each phase of the process, answer your questions, and guarantee a smooth shift into our program.
