Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize parents have many questions about our teen rehab program, from insurance coverage and visitation policies to educational support and living arrangements.
Through our thorough program, we provide family therapy sessions, maintain academic progress through school district partnerships, and offer both private and semi-private rooms in our gender-specific housing floors.
Our insurance specialists work closely with families to maximize coverage benefits, while our structured visitation program allows approved family members to visit teens during designated Sunday hours, ensuring continued family connection throughout treatment.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance coverage for teen addiction treatment is extensive thanks to federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
We’re pleased to inform you that most insurance plans cover all or part of adolescent addiction treatment at Montville Adolescent Center. The ACA requires insurance companies to include mental health and substance use disorder treatment as essential health benefits, while the MHPAEA guarantees these benefits aren’t unfairly limited.
To determine your specific coverage, we’ll work directly with your insurance provider to verify benefits and explain any out-of-pocket costs. If you don’t have insurance, we can discuss alternative payment options that make treatment accessible.
We encourage you to reach out to our admissions team for a confidential discussion about your coverage and financial responsibilities.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Understanding the importance of family connection during recovery, Montville Adolescent Center welcomes family visits every Sunday during designated hours.
To maintain our therapeutic environment and ensure the safety of all clients, we’ve established specific guidelines for visitation that align with our treatment protocols.
We require all visitors to be family members or legal guardians who are at least 18 years old and must receive prior approval from our clinical staff before visiting.
Additionally, we ask that family members participate in a Family Support Session, which helps create a more meaningful and therapeutic visitation experience.
Our structured visitation policy enables us to maintain the delicate balance between supporting vital family connections and preserving the focused therapeutic environment that’s essential for your teen’s recovery journey.
Do you offer support to family members?
Through extensive family support services, Montville Adolescent Center integrates parents and guardians into the recovery process. We recognize that addiction affects the entire family unit, which is why we’ve developed thorough support programs that include weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular progress updates.
Our family support services include regular Family Support Sessions, where we educate families about addiction, recovery, and healthy communication strategies.
Additionally, we provide resources and tools to help families understand their role in the recovery process, while offering guidance on establishing healthy boundaries and supporting their teen’s sobriety.
Through our collaborative approach, we guarantee that families receive the support they need to heal together, creating a strong foundation for their teen’s long-term recovery success.
What educational coordination is offered?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we maintain strong partnerships with local school districts to secure your teen’s academic progress continues during treatment.
Through our dedicated educational coordination program, we allocate two hours daily for structured academic pursuits, making certain your child stays on track with their studies while receiving essential care.
Our academic support includes direct collaboration with your teen’s home school to facilitate attendance credits and align with their existing curriculum.
We’ll work closely with teachers and administrators to gather assignments, coordinate testing schedules, and guarantee a seamless shift both into and out of our program.
Our structured approach combines supervised study time with individualized tutoring support, allowing students to maintain their academic momentum while focusing on their recovery journey.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Our facility offers both private and semi-private rooms for teens in treatment. At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve thoughtfully designed our living spaces to provide a comfortable, therapeutic environment that supports recovery while maintaining appropriate supervision and safety protocols.
Our gender-specific housing floors guarantee privacy and security for all residents.
While room assignments depend on various clinical factors and availability, we work diligently to create ideal living arrangements that consider each teen’s individual needs, treatment goals, and comfort level.
When making room assignments, our clinical team carefully evaluates factors such as age, therapeutic compatibility, and specific treatment requirements to guarantee the most beneficial living situation for each resident’s recovery journey.
Do you prescribe medications?
The medical team works closely with parents and guardians regarding all medication decisions during a teen’s treatment.
We’ll discuss any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions with you before implementation, guaranteeing you’re fully informed and comfortable with the treatment plan.
If your child currently has a psychiatrist or primary care provider who manages their medications, we’ll need a signed Release of Information (ROI) form to coordinate care effectively.
Having this ROI allows us to communicate directly with your teen’s healthcare providers, verify their treatment history, and discuss any medication adjustments that may be necessary 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 throughout their recovery journey.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Yes, a structured set of rules helps create a safe, supportive environment for all teens during their treatment stay. While in our program, we require teens to follow our schedule, attend all therapy sessions, complete academic work, and participate actively in group activities.
We’ve established clear behavioral expectations, including respect for staff and peers, adherence to dress code, and maintaining appropriate boundaries.
For safety and therapeutic reasons, we don’t allow personal electronic devices, and we carefully monitor all communication with family and friends.
Additionally, we require teens to keep their living spaces clean, follow meal schedules, and respect designated quiet hours.
These guidelines aren’t meant to be restrictive but rather to foster accountability, structure, and healthy habits that will support long-term recovery success.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
While following program rules creates structure at home, choosing an out-of-state treatment facility can provide unique advantages for your teen’s recovery journey.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences often allows teens to focus more fully on their recovery process.
The change in environment, combined with our specialized programming at our New Jersey facility, creates a fresh start where your teen can develop new perspectives and coping skills without the distractions of their usual social circle.
We’ve observed that this separation typically leads to deeper engagement in therapy, stronger bonds with peers in recovery, and reduced access to substances through previous connections.
Additionally, our location’s accessibility, just 45 minutes from Manhattan, guarantees families can still maintain meaningful involvement through our structured visitation program.
How do I get started?
Starting your teen’s recovery journey is straightforward with our simple admission process. When you reach out to us, our dedicated admissions counselors will conduct a brief, 10-minute phone assessment to confirm we’re the right fit for your child’s specific needs and circumstances.
After completing the initial assessment, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and discuss any financial considerations, including additional payment options if needed.
Once these details are confirmed, we’ll work with you to schedule an intake appointment at our Montville Adolescent Center in Towaco, New Jersey.
Throughout this process, we’ll guide you through any necessary paperwork, including medical records and Release of Information forms, facilitating a smooth change into our program.
Our team remains available to answer questions and address concerns at every step.
