Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize parents have many questions about our teen rehab program, from insurance coverage and family visits to educational support and living arrangements.
Our thorough teen treatment includes family therapy sessions, academic coordination with home schools, and both private and semi-private room options to guarantee comfort during recovery.
Through verified insurance benefits, scheduled Sunday visitation hours, and dedicated educational programming, we’ve created a supportive environment where teens can focus on healing while maintaining important connections to family and academics.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically kicks in to cover all or part of teen addiction treatment costs, thanks to federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
We accept most major insurance plans, and our experienced admissions team will work directly with your provider to determine your specific coverage levels and any out-of-pocket expenses.
Through the ACA’s essential health benefits requirement, insurance companies must provide coverage for mental health and substance use disorder treatment, while the MHPAEA guarantees that these benefits aren’t unfairly limited compared to medical coverage.
If you’re unsure about your coverage, we’ll gladly verify your benefits and explain exactly what’s covered, including detox services, residential treatment, and therapeutic programming at our Montville Adolescent Center.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
While managing insurance coverage is important, many parents also want to know about maintaining contact with their teen during treatment.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve established structured visitation policies that balance therapeutic progress with family connection. Parents and guardians can visit their teens during designated hours on Sundays, following specific guidelines to ensure a supportive environment for everyone.
To participate in visitation, all visitors must be at least 18 years old and receive prior approval from our clinical staff.
We also require family members to attend a Family Support Session before visiting, which helps create a more meaningful interaction that supports your teen’s recovery journey.
Our visitation policy reflects our commitment to maintaining strong family bonds while prioritizing the therapeutic process and ensuring a stable treatment environment.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family involvement forms a cornerstone of our thorough teen rehabilitation program. At Guardian Recovery’s Montville Adolescent Center, we provide extensive support services for families, including weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular progress updates on their teen’s recovery journey.
Through our family-centric approach, we help parents and guardians understand addiction, develop effective communication strategies, and learn how to support their teen’s ongoing recovery.
Parents and family members can participate in our Family Support Sessions, which occur before Sunday visitations, where they’ll learn about addiction’s impact on family dynamics, healthy boundary-setting, and aftercare planning.
We also provide resources and referrals to family support groups, counseling services, and educational materials to guarantee families have the tools they need throughout their teen’s treatment and beyond.
What educational coordination is offered?
Educational success remains a top priority during treatment at Montville Adolescent Center. We work directly with each teen’s home school district to guarantee they don’t fall behind academically during their recovery journey.
Our program includes two hours of structured academic time daily, where we follow their school’s curriculum and maintain attendance credits.
We’ve established partnerships with local schools to provide seamless educational coordination, allowing students to stay on track with their studies while receiving treatment.
Our staff regularly communicates with teachers and school administrators to monitor progress and adjust academic support as needed.
We recognize that maintaining educational momentum is vital for our teens’ future success, which is why we’ve integrated extensive academic support into our treatment program, including supervised study sessions and individualized tutoring 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, safety, and therapeutic benefit while maintaining appropriate supervision levels throughout the recovery process.
For teens who may benefit from additional peer support and socialization, our semi-private rooms provide structured opportunities to develop healthy relationships and communication skills with other residents.
We understand that room preferences can greatly impact a teen’s comfort level during treatment, which is why we work closely with families to determine the most appropriate accommodation based on their child’s specific needs, treatment goals, and clinical recommendations.
Our gender-specific housing floors ensure additional privacy and security, while our professional staff maintains 24/7 supervision to support our residents’ wellbeing and recovery journey.
Do you prescribe medications?
During your teen’s treatment at Montville Adolescent Center, our medical team can prescribe and manage medications when clinically appropriate.
Before making any changes to existing medications or prescribing new ones, we’ll always discuss our recommendations with you, the parent or guardian, to guarantee you’re fully informed and comfortable with the treatment plan.
If your teen currently works with a psychiatrist or primary care provider, we’ll ask you to sign a Release of Information (ROI) form, which allows us to communicate directly with these healthcare professionals.
This collaboration enables us to verify your teen’s previous treatment history and effectively coordinate any medication adjustments both during their stay and for their post-treatment care, guaranteeing a seamless continuum of care throughout their recovery journey.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
To guarantee a safe and structured therapeutic environment, Montville Adolescent Center maintains clear behavioral guidelines that all teens must follow during their stay.
We require residents to participate in all scheduled activities, including therapy sessions, academic studies, and group meetings, while maintaining respectful interactions with staff and peers. Our rules prohibit any physical contact between residents, possession of contraband items, and the use of personal electronic devices, which helps minimize distractions and maintains treatment focus.
Our structured environment includes designated quiet hours, scheduled meal times, and mandatory attendance at daily medical check-ins.
We’ve found that these guidelines, while sometimes challenging for teens to adjust to initially, create the stability and routine that’s essential for successful treatment outcomes and lasting recovery.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Sending your teenager to an out-of-state treatment facility can offer several important therapeutic advantages. When teens receive treatment away from their familiar environment, they’re removed from negative influences and triggers that may have contributed to their substance use, allowing them to focus entirely on their recovery journey.
While we recognize that our New Jersey location at Montville Adolescent Center might be farther from some families, this geographical distance often proves beneficial, as it helps break unhealthy patterns and relationships.
The physical separation creates an opportunity for teens to develop new perspectives and coping mechanisms without daily exposure to previous stressors. Additionally, out-of-state treatment can provide a fresh start, where your teen won’t encounter peers who knew them during their struggles, reducing the stigma they might feel during their recovery process.
How do I get started?
Once you’ve decided that treatment is right for your teen, getting started at Montville Adolescent Center follows a straightforward process.
Our admissions team will guide you through a brief, 10-minute phone assessment to confirm we’re the right fit for your child’s specific needs and circumstances. After completing this initial evaluation, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and discuss any financial considerations or payment options that may be relevant to your situation.
From there, we’ll work with you to coordinate an intake appointment that accommodates your schedule, allowing us to begin your teen’s personalized treatment journey as soon as possible.
Throughout this process, our dedicated admissions counselors will be available to answer any questions you may have about our programs, facility amenities, or treatment approaches.
