Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that parents have many questions about our teen rehab program, including concerns about insurance coverage, visitation policies, family support services, educational continuity, and living arrangements.
Insurance typically covers all or part of treatment costs, and we welcome family visits during designated Sunday hours, while also providing extensive family therapy sessions and educational coordination with your teen’s home school district.
Our facility offers both private and semi-private rooms, ensuring comfortable accommodations that support your teenager’s recovery journey while maintaining appropriate supervision and structure.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers most or all costs associated with teen drug and alcohol treatment, thanks to important healthcare regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
These laws guarantee that insurance providers must cover essential health benefits, including substance use disorder treatment and mental health services, at the same level as medical care.
We’ll work directly with your insurance company to determine your coverage and any out-of-pocket expenses you may incur.
Our admissions team can verify your benefits quickly and explain exactly what’s covered under your plan.
If you don’t have insurance or need additional financial options, we’ll discuss alternative payment arrangements to guarantee your teen can access the care they need.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
While maintaining healthy family connections is essential during treatment, visits at Montville Adolescent Center follow a structured schedule to ensure the best therapeutic outcomes.
Our designated visitation hours occur every Sunday, when we welcome family members and guardians who are at least 18 years old to spend time with their teens.
Before any visits can take place, we require all potential visitors to receive approval from our clinical staff and participate in a Family Support Session.
This session helps create a supportive environment for recovery.
We’ve implemented these protocols to guarantee that family interactions contribute positively to your teen’s treatment progress, while maintaining the structure and stability that are vital for successful outcomes.
Through this balanced approach, we’re able to foster healing family dynamics within appropriate therapeutic boundaries.
Do you offer support to family members?
Throughout the recovery journey, Montville Adolescent Center provides thorough family support services, recognizing that substance use disorders affect the entire family unit.
We’ve designed our family program to include weekly therapy sessions, educational workshops, and support groups that help parents and siblings understand addiction, develop healthy communication strategies, and learn effective coping mechanisms.
Our extensive family support includes regular progress updates from our clinical team, structured family visiting hours on Sundays, and mandatory Family Support Sessions that provide essential tools for post-treatment success.
Additionally, we offer resources and referrals to local support groups, such as Al-Anon and Nar-Anon, where family members can connect with others who understand their experiences, while our family counselors remain available for consultation throughout the treatment process.
What educational coordination is offered?
Our educational coordination services remain a cornerstone of teen recovery at Montville Adolescent Center. We actively collaborate with each client’s home school district to guarantee their academic progress continues uninterrupted during treatment, dedicating two hours daily to structured academic activities and physical education.
Through our partnerships with local schools, we facilitate attendance credits and maintain curriculum alignment, helping teens stay on track with their studies.
Our dedicated academic support team works closely with teachers and school administrators to coordinate assignments, track progress, and provide regular updates on educational achievements.
We’re committed to creating a seamless shift back to the school environment post-treatment, guaranteeing that academic disruption is minimized while teens focus on their recovery journey.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Montville Adolescent Center offers both private and semi-private room options to accommodate your teenager’s needs.
Our thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize comfort, safety, and a therapeutic environment that supports your teen’s recovery journey. We’ve structured our accommodations to provide the right balance of privacy and social interaction that’s essential for adolescent development.
In our semi-private rooms, we carefully consider roommate assignments to guarantee compatibility and a positive living experience, while our private rooms offer additional personal space for teens who may benefit from increased privacy.
Each room, whether private or shared, is equipped with essential amenities and is located on gender-specific housing floors, creating a secure and comfortable environment that promotes healing and personal growth during your teen’s stay with us.
Do you prescribe medications?
When it comes to prescribing medications, we maintain strict protocols that prioritize both safety and transparency. Before making any changes to existing medications or prescribing new ones, we’ll thoroughly discuss these decisions with parents or guardians to guarantee everyone’s informed and comfortable with the treatment plan.
We work collaboratively with your teen’s existing healthcare providers, which is why we request that you sign a Release of Information (ROI) form. This important documentation allows us to communicate directly with your child’s psychiatrist or primary care provider, verify previous treatments, 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 teenager’s medical management throughout their recovery journey.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Clear behavioral guidelines form the foundation of our teen treatment program. At Montville Adolescent Center, we maintain strict rules to guarantee safety, promote recovery, and create a therapeutic environment where all clients can thrive.
Our teens must follow structured daily schedules, participate in all therapeutic activities, and maintain appropriate boundaries with peers and staff.
We expect our clients to demonstrate respect for themselves and others, avoid inappropriate physical contact, use appropriate language, and follow dress code requirements.
Additionally, we prohibit the use of personal electronic devices, including cell phones, to help teens focus on their recovery journey.
While these rules may seem strict, they’re essential for creating the structured, supportive environment necessary for successful treatment outcomes and lasting behavioral change.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Parents often reveal significant advantages in choosing out-of-state treatment for their teen’s recovery journey. At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve seen how physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences can create a crucial reset for lasting recovery.
The change in environment allows teens to focus entirely on their healing without local distractions or pressures.
Additionally, our specialized program’s distance from home often strengthens family dynamics by providing structured, intentional communication through our family therapy sessions.
We’ve found that teens who travel for treatment typically experience enhanced personal growth, as they’re removed from established patterns and peer groups that may have contributed to their substance use.
Our location, just 45 minutes from Manhattan, offers the perfect balance of accessibility and therapeutic separation.
How do I get started?
Starting your teen’s recovery journey involves a straightforward three-step process.
First, contact our admissions team to schedule a brief pre-assessment phone call, which takes approximately 10 minutes and helps us verify we’re the right fit for your child’s specific needs.
Next, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and discuss payment options, making certain you understand the coverage and any potential out-of-pocket expenses.
Finally, we’ll arrange an intake appointment at our Montville Adolescent Center, where our specialized team will begin developing your teen’s personalized treatment plan.
Throughout this process, we’ll work closely with you to address any concerns and guarantee a smooth shift into our program, which includes our thorough medical, therapeutic, and educational support services.
