Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
At Guardian Recovery’s Montville Adolescent Center, we recognize parents have many questions about their teen’s treatment journey, from insurance coverage and family visitation policies to educational support and living arrangements.
We’re committed to making the recovery process as transparent as possible, with our team ready to address concerns about treatment costs, explain our Sunday visitation hours, and outline how we coordinate with your child’s school district to maintain academic progress.
Through our extensive support systems, including family therapy sessions and private or semi-private room options, we’ve created an environment where both teens and their families can focus on healing and growth.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance coverage for rehab treatment is available through most major providers, thanks to federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
These laws guarantee that insurance companies can’t impose unfavorable limitations on mental health and substance use disorder treatments, which includes teen rehabilitation programs.
We accept most insurance plans and work directly with providers to maximize your coverage for teen addiction treatment.
While coverage varies by plan, many families find that their out-of-pocket expenses are greatly reduced through insurance benefits.
We’ll help verify your coverage and explain your benefits before treatment begins, making sure you understand exactly what’s covered.
If you don’t have insurance, we can discuss alternative payment options to make treatment accessible for your teen.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Family visits play an essential role in teen recovery at our facility. At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve established dedicated visitation hours every Sunday, ensuring our clients maintain vital connections with their support systems while in treatment.
To maintain a safe and therapeutic environment, we require all visitors to be family members or legal guardians who are at least 18 years old.
Before any visits can occur, we ask that family members attend one of our Family Support Sessions and receive approval from our clinical staff. This process helps confirm that visits align with your teen’s treatment goals and provides family members with valuable insights into the recovery process.
We’re committed to facilitating meaningful family connections while maintaining the structure and safety necessary for successful treatment outcomes.
Do you offer support to family members?
Recognizing that addiction affects the entire family system, we provide extensive support services for parents, siblings, and other family members throughout their teen’s treatment journey.
We’ve developed a thorough family support program that includes weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and support groups designed to help families understand addiction, improve communication, and develop healthy coping strategies.
Our family-focused services include regular progress updates from our clinical team, structured visitation opportunities, and specialized workshops covering topics like boundary-setting and relapse prevention.
Additionally, we’ll connect you with local support groups and resources to help strengthen your family’s foundation for long-term recovery.
Throughout your teen’s treatment, we’ll work closely with you to address concerns, provide guidance, and guarantee you’re equipped with the tools needed to support your child’s recovery journey.
What educational coordination is offered?
Committed to maintaining academic progress, we coordinate extensively with each teen’s home school district to guarantee they stay on track during treatment. Our program incorporates two dedicated hours of structured academics daily, making certain students don’t fall behind in their studies while focusing on their recovery journey.
We’ve developed strong partnerships with local school districts to facilitate attendance credits and align our educational programming with each student’s home curriculum requirements.
Our staff works directly with teachers and guidance counselors to obtain current assignments, coordinate testing schedules, and guarantee seamless curriculum integration.
During their time with us, students receive individualized academic support in a structured classroom environment, complete with progress monitoring and regular communication between our educational team and their home school, making the eventual shift back to regular classes much smoother.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Room arrangements at Montville Adolescent Center include both private and semi-private options, allowing us to accommodate each teen’s specific needs and comfort level.
Our gender-specific housing floors guarantee appropriate separation and privacy, while our thoughtfully designed living spaces promote a sense of security and comfort during the recovery journey.
When determining room assignments, we carefully consider multiple factors, including therapeutic requirements, clinical recommendations, and individual circumstances.
While we can’t promise private rooms for every client, we work diligently to create ideal living arrangements that support each teen’s treatment goals.
Parents can rest assured that all our rooms, whether private or semi-private, are monitored regularly by our attentive staff to maintain a safe, structured environment that’s conducive to healing and personal growth.
Do you prescribe medications?
Beyond our thoughtful room arrangements, medication management is a key aspect of our extensive care at Montville Adolescent Center.
We’ll discuss any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions with parents or guardians before making adjustments to your teen’s treatment plan.
If your teenager currently sees a psychiatrist or primary care provider who manages their medications, we’ll need you to complete our Release of Information (ROI) form, which allows us to communicate directly with these healthcare providers during your child’s stay.
This collaborative approach guarantees we can verify previous treatment protocols and effectively coordinate any medication modifications that may be necessary.
We’re committed to maintaining clear lines of communication about your teen’s medication management throughout their treatment journey with us.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we maintain clear behavioral guidelines to guarantee a safe, structured, and therapeutic environment for all teens in our care.
Our rules include following daily schedules, participating in all therapy sessions and academic activities, respecting staff and peers, maintaining appropriate boundaries, and adhering to our zero-tolerance policy for violence or substance use.
Additionally, we require teens to comply with our dress code, keep their living spaces tidy, and follow established protocols for phone calls and visitation.
We’ve found that these guidelines help create a supportive community where teens can focus on their recovery without distractions.
While some rules may seem strict, they’re designed to promote accountability, personal responsibility, and the development of healthy habits that will serve our clients well after treatment.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
While the decision to send your teenager to an out-of-state facility may feel challenging, there are several compelling advantages to contemplate.
Out-of-state treatment often provides a fresh environment away from negative influences and triggers, allowing teens to focus entirely on their recovery journey. At our Montville location, we’ve seen how physical distance can help break destructive patterns and relationships that may have contributed to substance use.
Additionally, receiving treatment away from home often results in deeper engagement with the recovery process, as teens can’t easily leave the program when things get difficult.
We’ve found that this geographical separation, combined with our specialized programs and 1:1 staff ratio, creates an ideal setting for sustainable recovery, while our family therapy sessions guarantee that parents remain actively involved in their teen’s healing journey.
How do I get started?
Getting started with our teen rehabilitation program involves just a few straightforward steps.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we begin with a brief phone call where one of our dedicated admissions counselors will conduct a 10-minute pre-assessment of your teenager’s needs, ensuring we’re the right fit for their recovery journey.
Once we’ve completed the initial assessment, our team will verify your insurance benefits and discuss any financial considerations.
We’ll explain the coverage details, out-of-pocket expenses, and alternative payment options if needed.
After addressing these practical matters, we’ll coordinate a convenient time for intake, where we’ll welcome your teen into our supportive community.
Throughout this process, our experienced staff remains available to answer questions, address concerns, and guide you through each step of beginning your teenager’s path to recovery.
