Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that families have many questions when considering teen rehabilitation programs, from insurance coverage and visitation policies to educational support and living arrangements.

At our Montville facility, teens stay in either private or semi-private rooms within our gender-specific housing floors, allowing for both personal space and peer support throughout their recovery journey.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance coverage provides substantial financial support for teen addiction treatment, thanks to federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
These laws require insurance companies to cover essential health benefits, including mental health and substance use disorder treatment, guaranteeing that families have access to necessary care for their teens.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ll work directly with your insurance provider to determine coverage for our extensive treatment programs, which may include detox, residential care, and virtual treatment options.
We accept most major insurance plans, and our admissions team can verify your benefits to help you understand your out-of-pocket costs.

Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Visiting your teen during treatment at Montville Adolescent Center follows a structured schedule, with designated hours every Sunday for family members and guardians over 18 years old.
All visitors must receive prior approval from our clinical staff, and participation in our Family Support Sessions is required before visitation can begin.
Our visitation policy is designed to support your teen’s recovery journey while maintaining strong family connections, which are essential for long-term success.
Before your first visit, we’ll provide detailed guidelines about our visitation procedures, including approved items you may bring and specific timeframes for your visits.
We strongly encourage regular family participation, as these visits often become meaningful milestones in your teen’s treatment progress and help strengthen the family support system.
Do you offer support to family members?
Since family involvement plays a crucial role in teen recovery, Montville Adolescent Center provides extensive support services for parents, guardians, and siblings.
Through our all-encompassing family therapy program, we offer weekly family sessions, educational workshops, and support groups that help loved ones understand addiction, mental health, and effective communication strategies.
We’ve developed a multi-faceted approach that includes regular progress updates, family visitation opportunities, and specialized training sessions where family members learn coping mechanisms and boundary-setting techniques.
Additionally, we connect families with community resources and support networks that extend beyond their teen’s time in treatment.
Our family support coordinator works closely with each family to address specific concerns, coordinate care shifts, and guarantee everyone has the tools they need to support their teen’s recovery journey.
What educational coordination is offered?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we provide extensive educational coordination to guarantee teens don’t fall behind academically during treatment.
We maintain strong partnerships with local school districts to guarantee proper attendance credits and seamless curriculum alignment throughout the recovery process.
Our daily schedule includes two dedicated hours of structured academics, where we work closely with each teen’s home school to maintain their educational progress.
We recognize that continuing education is vital for long-term success, which is why we’ve developed a thorough system that includes regular communication with teachers, customized academic plans, and progress monitoring.
Through our collaborative approach with school districts, we’re able to facilitate a smooth shift back to regular schooling once treatment is completed, ensuring that your teen’s academic future remains secure while they focus on recovery.
Will my teenager have their own room?
While ensuring proper educational support for teens in recovery, many parents also want to know about living arrangements during their child’s stay.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options within our gender-specific housing floors, allowing us to accommodate different needs and comfort levels.
Our thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize both safety and comfort, creating an environment that supports our teens’ recovery journey.
While we can’t guarantee private rooms for every client, we carefully consider each teen’s specific circumstances, therapeutic needs, and family preferences when making room assignments.
If you’re interested in a private room for your teenager, we encourage you to discuss this with our admissions team, who can provide detailed information about availability and any associated costs.
Do you prescribe medications?
Many parents understandably have questions about medication management during their teen’s treatment. At Montville Adolescent Center, we take a thoughtful, collaborative approach to medication decisions, always discussing any new prescriptions or medication changes with parents or guardians before implementation.
If your teen is currently under the care of a psychiatrist or primary care provider, we’ll ask you to sign a Release of Information (ROI) form, which enables us to communicate directly with these healthcare professionals throughout your child’s stay.
This coordination guarantees we’ve access to your teen’s complete treatment history and allows us to effectively communicate any medication adjustments that may be needed during their time with us, as well as establish a clear plan for post-treatment care.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Structure and safety form the foundation of our teen treatment program, which includes clear rules and expectations that all residents must follow.
While staying at Montville Adolescent Center, teens must participate in all scheduled activities, including therapy sessions, academic work, and group meetings, maintaining respectful behavior toward staff and peers throughout their stay.

Additionally, we require teens to follow our structured daily schedule, which includes designated times for meals, therapy, academics, and rest periods.
To maintain the therapeutic environment’s integrity, we also enforce guidelines about appropriate communication with family members, which occurs through scheduled visits and monitored phone calls.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Choosing out-of-state treatment for your teen offers several distinct advantages in their recovery journey. At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences often creates a vital reset opportunity, allowing teens to focus entirely on their recovery.
The separation also helps break unhealthy peer relationships that may have contributed to substance use.
Additionally, out-of-state treatment provides teens with a fresh perspective and environment, which can be particularly beneficial for those who’ve struggled with local treatment programs.
We’ve observed that this geographical change often reduces resistance to treatment, as teens are less likely to encounter daily reminders of past challenges.
While maintaining family connections through our structured visitation program and family therapy sessions, the strategic distance creates an ideal healing environment for sustainable recovery.
How do I get started?
Once you’ve decided on treatment for your teen, starting the admission process is straightforward and quick. Our dedicated admissions team will conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment over the phone to ascertain we’re the right fit for your child’s specific needs and circumstances.
After completing the initial assessment, we’ll verify your insurance benefits to determine coverage and discuss any additional financial arrangements.
From there, we’ll work with you to schedule an intake appointment at our Montville Adolescent Center, where we’ll begin developing your teen’s personalized treatment plan.
Throughout this process, our experienced admissions counselors will guide you through each step, answer your questions, and assure you understand what to expect during your child’s stay with us.
