Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that parents and families have many questions when seeking treatment for their teenager, from insurance coverage and visitation policies to educational continuity and living arrangements.

Our admissions team is ready to walk you through every aspect of our program, from verifying your insurance benefits to explaining our Sunday visitation schedule and discussing how we maintain your teen’s academic progress during treatment.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Thanks to key regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), most insurance plans do cover teen addiction treatment.
The ACA requires insurance providers to cover essential health benefits, including mental health and substance use disorder treatment, while the MHPAEA guarantees that coverage limitations for addiction treatment aren’t more restrictive than those for medical care.
We accept most major insurance plans and can help verify your benefits to determine coverage levels for our teen treatment programs.
When you contact our admissions team, we’ll conduct a complimentary insurance verification to explain your out-of-pocket costs clearly.
If you don’t have insurance coverage, we’ll work with you to investigate alternative payment options, making sure your teen can access the care they need.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Beyond understanding insurance coverage, many parents want to know about staying connected with their teen during treatment.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve established a structured visitation program that allows families to maintain essential connections while supporting their teen’s recovery journey.
Our visitation policy includes designated hours on Sundays, where approved family members and guardians who are at least 18 years old can visit.
We require all visitors to participate in our Family Support Sessions before visitation, ensuring they understand our therapeutic approach and can positively contribute to their teen’s recovery process.
To maintain a safe and supportive environment, we carefully screen all visitors through our clinical staff, who must approve each person before they’re permitted to participate in visitation sessions.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family support forms a cornerstone of our broad teen recovery program at Montville Adolescent Center. 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.
Through our structured Family Support Sessions, which are required before visitation, we equip families with essential tools and knowledge to understand addiction, recognize triggers, and support their teen’s ongoing recovery.
Our family-focused approach includes weekly therapy sessions where families work together to address underlying issues, improve communication patterns, and develop healthy boundaries.
Additionally, we offer dedicated support groups for parents and siblings, connecting them with other families facing similar challenges, while our clinical team provides regular consultations to address specific concerns and celebrate progress milestones throughout treatment.
What educational coordination is offered?
Educational coordination at Montville Adolescent Center guarantees students maintain their academic progress during treatment. We actively partner with each teen’s home school district to guarantee attendance credits and curriculum alignment, dedicating two hours daily to structured academic activities.
Our extensive educational support includes direct communication with teachers and guidance counselors, facilitating homework assignments, and coordinating make-up work when necessary.
We’ve developed a system that allows students to stay on track with their studies while focusing on their recovery, incorporating both traditional academic subjects and physical education into their daily schedule.
Through our established relationships with local school districts, we’re able to provide seamless integration of coursework, guaranteeing that your teen’s educational journey continues uninterrupted during their treatment stay.
Will my teenager have their own room?
At Montville Adolescent Center, teens have access to both private and semi-private room options. Our gender-specific housing floors guarantee appropriate separation and comfort, while our thoughtfully designed living spaces promote a therapeutic environment that supports recovery and personal growth.
We’ve carefully considered the balance between privacy and community in our room arrangements, as both elements play vital roles in the recovery journey.
While private rooms offer solitude for reflection and emotional processing, our semi-private accommodations foster peer support and social skill development under careful supervision.
Each room, whether private or shared, is designed to be a safe, nurturing space where teens can feel secure and supported throughout their treatment experience, complete with modern amenities and comfortable furnishings that create a home-like atmosphere.
Do you prescribe medications?
Regarding medication management at Montville Adolescent Center, we take a carefully supervised approach to prescribing and adjusting medications.
Before making any changes to existing prescriptions or introducing new medications, we’ll discuss all options with parents or guardians to guarantee informed decision-making and transparency in your teen’s treatment plan.
To provide the most thorough care, we request that you sign a Release of Information (ROI) form if your teenager has an existing psychiatrist or primary care provider.
This documentation allows us to communicate effectively with your teen’s healthcare team, verify previous treatment protocols, and coordinate any medication adjustments during their stay.
We’ll also guarantee that all medication-related information is properly communicated for post-treatment care, maintaining continuity in your child’s medical management.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Beyond medication protocols, our teen treatment program maintains clear behavioral guidelines to create a safe, structured environment for all residents. We require teens to follow daily schedules, participate in all therapeutic activities, and demonstrate respect for staff and peers.
Our rules prohibit physical aggression, inappropriate language, and possession of unauthorized items, including phones and other electronics.
To guarantee academic progress and therapeutic success, we’ve established additional guidelines that include maintaining appropriate dress code, following designated quiet hours, and participating in scheduled room checks.
We also require teens to complete assigned therapeutic homework, maintain personal hygiene, and respect designated boundaries within the facility.
Parents and guardians receive a thorough rule handbook during admission, which outlines our expectations, consequences for rule violations, and our commitment to maintaining a therapeutic environment.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Sending a teenager to an out-of-state treatment facility offers several meaningful advantages for both recovery and personal growth.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve seen how physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences can create a fresh start that’s essential for lasting recovery, while our serene New Jersey setting provides the perfect environment for healing and reflection.
We’re conveniently located just 45 minutes from Manhattan, making us accessible yet removed enough to offer true perspective.
Our out-of-state clients particularly benefit from our extensive academic program, which guarantees they won’t fall behind in their studies, and our family therapy sessions, which we coordinate to accommodate distance through flexible scheduling.
Additionally, the geographical separation often helps teens focus solely on their recovery without daily distractions from their usual environment.
How do I get started?
Starting the treatment process for your teen is straightforward and begins with a simple phone call to our admissions team.
During this initial conversation, one of our dedicated counselors will conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment to confirm we’re the right fit for your child’s specific needs.
After completing the pre-assessment, we’ll work with you to verify any insurance benefits and determine the most suitable financial arrangements for your family’s circumstances.
Once these details are confirmed, we’ll schedule an intake appointment at our Montville Adolescent Center, where our experienced team will begin developing a personalized treatment plan.
Throughout this process, our admissions specialists will guide you through each step, answering any questions and addressing concerns to guarantee a smooth shift into our program.
