Through regular family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and ongoing communication with parents, we guarantee that both teens and their families receive the support and information needed throughout the treatment journey.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers all or part of teen addiction treatment costs, thanks to federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
At Montville Adolescent Center, we accept most major insurance plans and work diligently to maximize your coverage benefits for your teen’s treatment needs.
We understand that managing insurance coverage can feel overwhelming, which is why our dedicated admissions team will verify your benefits and explain your coverage options in detail.

Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Besides understanding insurance coverage, parents often want to know about staying connected with their teen during treatment.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we facilitate regular family connections through our structured visitation program, which takes place every Sunday during designated hours.
We maintain specific guidelines to guarantee a therapeutic environment, including limiting visitors to family members and legal guardians who are at least 18 years old.
Before any visits can occur, we require all potential visitors to receive approval from our clinical staff and attend a mandatory Family Support Session, which helps create the most beneficial interaction possible.
This careful approach allows us to balance your teen’s need for family connection with their treatment progress, while maintaining the structured environment that’s essential for recovery.
Do you offer support to family members?
Supporting families throughout their teen’s recovery journey is a cornerstone of our treatment approach at Montville Adolescent Center. We offer extensive family support services, including weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular progress updates to keep parents actively involved in their child’s recovery process.
Our family program includes specialized components that help parents and siblings understand addiction, develop effective communication strategies, and learn how to support their teen’s ongoing recovery.
Through our family therapy sessions, we address fundamental relationship dynamics, establish healthy boundaries, and provide tools for managing challenging situations.
We also maintain open lines of communication between our clinical team and family members, ensuring that everyone involved in the teen’s recovery has the resources and support they need for long-term success.
What educational coordination is offered?
Educational coordination at Montville Adolescent Center guarantees that teens stay on track academically during their treatment. We maintain active partnerships with each client’s home school district to secure attendance credits and curriculum alignment, while providing two dedicated hours of structured academic time daily.

While we can’t guarantee private room assignments, as they’re allocated based on clinical recommendations and availability, we work diligently to create ideal living arrangements that support each teen’s treatment goals and comfort level, assuring they’ve the space they need to focus on their recovery.
Do you prescribe medications?
Montville’s medical team carefully manages medication prescriptions in close collaboration with parents and guardians. We guarantee that any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions are thoroughly discussed with families before implementation, prioritizing transparency and informed decision-making throughout the treatment process.
If your teen currently works with a psychiatrist or primary care provider, we’ll ask you to complete a Release of Information (ROI) form, which allows us to communicate effectively with these healthcare professionals during your child’s stay.
Through this collaborative approach, we can verify previous treatment protocols and seamlessly coordinate any medication adjustments that may be needed. This ongoing communication also helps guarantee continuity of care when your teen shifts back home, as we’ll share detailed information about medication management and any modifications made during treatment.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Maintaining structure and safety requires all teens at our facility to follow specific behavioral guidelines throughout their treatment.
We’ve established clear expectations around appropriate conduct, including mandatory participation in all scheduled activities, respectful communication with staff and peers, and adherence to designated quiet hours. Our rules prohibit physical aggression, contraband items, inappropriate relationships, and the use of personal electronic devices, which helps maintain focus on recovery.
During their stay, teens must follow our structured daily schedule, wear appropriate attire, and maintain personal hygiene standards.
We also require compliance with medication protocols, attendance at all therapy sessions, and completion of assigned academic work. While these rules may seem strict, they’re designed to create a therapeutic environment where every teen can focus on their recovery journey.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Distance can provide significant therapeutic advantages when seeking treatment for your teenager. At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve observed that physical separation from familiar environments often allows teens to focus more intently on their recovery, free from local triggers and negative peer influences.
This geographical shift creates a fresh perspective and renewed commitment to change. Moreover, out-of-state treatment offers the opportunity for a true reset, as your teen won’t be distracted by local friends or easily accessible influences that may have contributed to their substance use.
We’ve found that our location, while still accessible to families within the tri-state area, provides enough distance to facilitate meaningful change while maintaining essential family involvement through our structured visitation program and family therapy sessions.
How do I get started?
Starting the journey toward teen addiction treatment is straightforward at our facility. We begin with a brief, 10-minute phone assessment conducted by our admissions counselors, who’ll determine if Montville Adolescent Center is the right fit for your teen’s needs.
During this initial conversation, we’ll gather essential information about your child’s situation and discuss any concerns you may have.
Once we’ve completed the pre-assessment, our team will verify your insurance benefits and explain all available payment options.
We’ll then work with you to arrange a convenient intake time that accommodates your schedule.
