Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that families have many questions about our teen rehab program, including concerns about insurance coverage, family visits, educational support, and living arrangements during treatment.
Through our thorough program, we coordinate with insurance providers, offer weekly family visits, maintain academic progress through school partnerships, and provide both private and semi-private rooms to guarantee comfort during recovery.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’re committed to addressing these common concerns while delivering expert care that supports both teens and their families throughout the treatment journey.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Yes, your insurance typically covers all or part of teen addiction treatment costs. Thanks to regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), insurance companies are required to provide coverage for substance use disorder treatment as an essential health benefit.
We’ll work directly with your insurance provider to determine your specific coverage levels and any out-of-pocket expenses you may incur. Our admissions team can verify your benefits and explain exactly what portion of treatment your insurance will cover, including services like detox, residential care, and therapy sessions.
If you don’t have insurance or need additional financial options, we’ll help you investigate alternative payment arrangements to guarantee your teen can access the care they need.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Parents and guardians are welcome to visit their teens during designated hours on Sundays at our Montville Adolescent Center. In accordance with our strict safety protocols, we require that all visitors be at least 18 years of age and receive prior approval from our clinical staff before participating in visitation.
We’ve found that successful family involvement greatly enhances our teens’ recovery journey, which is why we’ve integrated mandatory Family Support Sessions into our visitation program.
During these sessions, we’ll provide you with valuable insights into your teen’s progress, discuss therapeutic strategies you can implement at home, and address any concerns you may have. Our experienced clinical team will work closely with you to ensure these visits strengthen family bonds while supporting your teen’s treatment goals.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family support forms a central pillar of our adolescent treatment program through three key components: weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and ongoing communication with our clinical team.
During weekly therapy sessions, we’ll help your family address underlying issues, improve communication patterns, and develop healthy coping strategies together.
Our educational workshops provide essential information about addiction, mental health, and recovery, while equipping families with practical tools for supporting their teen’s journey.
Additionally, we’ve established a thorough communication system where our clinical team regularly updates parents on their child’s progress, treatment milestones, and any medication changes.
We recognize that healing extends beyond the individual, which is why we’re committed to providing resources, guidance, and support to help strengthen family relationships throughout the recovery process.
What educational coordination is offered?
Educational continuity remains a top priority at our adolescent treatment center. We actively collaborate with each client’s home school district to guarantee students don’t fall behind in their academic progress while receiving treatment.
Our program includes two hours of structured academic instruction daily, integrated seamlessly with therapeutic activities.
We maintain ongoing communication with teachers and school administrators to align our curriculum with each student’s educational requirements, facilitate attendance credits, and guarantee a smooth changeover back to their regular academic environment.
Our staff works diligently to coordinate assignments, tests, and projects with home schools, while providing additional academic support through our on-site educational specialists.
This all-encompassing approach allows teens to continue their recovery journey without compromising their educational goals.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Room assignments at Montville Adolescent Center include both private and semi-private options. We recognize that having personal space is important for our teen clients during their recovery journey, which is why we’ve designed our facility to accommodate different rooming preferences.
Our gender-specific housing floors guarantee appropriate separation and comfort for all residents.
While private rooms offer maximum privacy and individual space, our semi-private rooms foster peer support and social connection within appropriate boundaries. We carefully consider each teen’s specific needs, therapeutic goals, and clinical recommendations when making room assignments.
Our staff maintains 24/7 supervision of all living areas, guaranteeing a safe and structured environment that supports recovery. Additionally, all rooms are thoughtfully arranged to create a homelike atmosphere while maintaining the necessary clinical standards for treatment.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medication management at Montville Adolescent Center is handled with careful oversight and parental involvement.
We’ll discuss any potential new medications or changes to existing prescriptions with parents or guardians before implementation, ensuring you’re fully informed about your teen’s treatment plan.
If your child currently works with a psychiatrist or primary care provider who prescribes medications, we’ll need you to complete a Release of Information (ROI) form to facilitate communication during their stay with us.
This collaborative approach allows us to verify your teen’s treatment history and effectively communicate any medication adjustments for their post-treatment care.
Our medical team maintains strict protocols for medication management, and we’ll keep you informed throughout the process, ensuring a thorough understanding of your child’s medical treatment plan.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we maintain clear behavioral expectations and guidelines to guarantee a safe, structured environment for all teens in our care.
Our rules include maintaining respectful interactions with staff and peers, participating in all scheduled activities and therapy sessions, and following our structured daily schedule.
We require teens to respect personal boundaries, refrain from physical contact, and maintain appropriate dress code standards.
During their stay, we don’t allow personal electronic devices, and phone calls are scheduled at designated times through our staff-supervised system.
Additionally, we enforce a zero-tolerance policy for substance use, violence, or threatening behavior.
While these guidelines may seem strict, they’re essential for creating the therapeutic environment necessary for recovery, personal growth, and successful treatment outcomes.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Sending teenagers to out-of-state treatment facilities often provides significant therapeutic advantages. At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences can create a fresh environment for recovery, allowing teens to focus entirely on their healing journey.
The separation also helps break unhealthy patterns and relationships that may have contributed to substance use.
Additionally, out-of-state treatment offers the benefit of complete immersion in our therapeutic environment, where teens can develop new perspectives and coping strategies without daily external pressures.
We’ve observed that this geographical distance often strengthens family dynamics, as both parents and teens learn to communicate more effectively through our structured family therapy sessions, while our 1:1 staff-to-client ratio guarantees personalized attention throughout the recovery process.
How do I get started?
Starting the admissions process for your teen is straightforward and begins with a simple phone call to our counselors.
Once you reach out, we’ll conduct a brief 10-minute pre-assessment over the phone to guarantee our program aligns with your teen’s specific needs and circumstances.
After completing the initial assessment, our team will verify your insurance benefits or discuss alternative payment options that work best for your family’s situation.
We’ll then coordinate a convenient intake time that accommodates your schedule. During this process, we’ll provide detailed information about what to expect, including necessary documentation and any medical records we’ll need to review.
Our admissions team remains available throughout this process to answer questions and address concerns, making sure you and your teen feel fully prepared for this important step toward recovery.
