Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
Parents often ask us about practical matters like insurance coverage, visitation policies, and educational support during their teenager’s treatment journey at Montville Adolescent Center.
We’re committed to keeping families connected through regular Sunday visits, thorough family therapy sessions, and consistent updates on their teen’s progress, while our academic coordination guarantees students stay on track with their studies.
Our facility offers both private and semi-private rooms, and we work closely with insurance providers to maximize coverage benefits, making treatment as accessible as possible for families seeking help for their teens.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance coverage for teen addiction treatment is typically extensive, thanks to key federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ll help verify your insurance benefits and explain exactly what’s covered for your teen’s treatment program. Most insurance plans cover all or part of adolescent addiction treatment services, including detox, residential care, and therapy.
The ACA requires insurance providers to cover essential health benefits, which include substance use disorder treatment, while the MHPAEA guarantees that mental health and addiction benefits aren’t limited unfairly.

Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Visiting your teen during their treatment at Montville Adolescent Center follows a structured schedule, with designated hours every Sunday.
We recognize the significance of family connection during recovery, which is why we’ve established clear guidelines to ensure these visits support your teen’s treatment journey.
All visitors must be family members or legal guardians who are at least 18 years old, and our clinical staff must approve each visitor before the scheduled visit.
Additionally, we require families to participate in our Family Support Sessions prior to visitation, as these sessions help create a more meaningful and therapeutic interaction between you and your teen.
While maintaining appropriate boundaries, we’re committed to facilitating these essential family connections that contribute greatly to your teen’s recovery progress.
Do you offer support to family members?
While recognizing that addiction affects the entire family unit, our program offers extensive support services specifically designed for family members of teens in treatment.
We integrate family support through multiple channels, including weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops about addiction and recovery, and our thorough Family Support Program that meets every Sunday.
Our clinical team works closely with parents and guardians to address family dynamics, improve communication patterns, and develop healthy coping strategies that support long-term recovery.
We also provide resources for family members to connect with support groups and counseling services in their local communities, ensuring they’ve the tools needed to maintain stability during and after their teen’s treatment.
Additionally, we offer regular progress updates and maintain open lines of communication between families and our treatment team.
What educational coordination is offered?
Education remains a top priority during treatment at Montville Adolescent Center. We partner directly with each teen’s home school district to maintain academic progress and guarantee proper credit for attendance during their stay with us.
Our structured daily schedule includes two dedicated hours of academic instruction, carefully integrated with the student’s existing curriculum requirements.
We understand the importance of preventing academic setbacks during treatment, which is why we’ve developed extensive educational coordination services. Our staff works closely with school administrators and teachers to align coursework, monitor progress, and facilitate a smooth shift back to regular classes after treatment.
We’ll coordinate with guidance counselors to confirm all necessary documentation is properly maintained, while providing regular updates to both families and school officials regarding academic achievements.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Montville Adolescent Center offers both private and semi-private room options for teens in treatment. We acknowledge that having a comfortable, personal space is essential for recovery, which is why our facility features thoughtfully designed living quarters that promote both rest and reflection.
Our room arrangements are carefully considered based on each client’s clinical needs and treatment goals, with our team making accommodations that best support the therapeutic process.
While many teens benefit from having a roommate who can provide peer support during treatment, we recognize that some individuals may require private accommodations due to specific clinical considerations or personal circumstances.
In all cases, our housing floors are gender-specific, and each room is designed to create a safe, structured environment that facilitates healing and personal growth.
Do you prescribe medications?
Beyond providing comfortable living spaces, we take medication management seriously at our facility. Any changes to existing medications or new prescriptions must first be approved by our medical team and thoroughly discussed with parents or guardians before implementation.
To guarantee extensive care coordination, we request that families sign a Release of Information (ROI) form if their teen currently has a psychiatrist or primary care provider.
This documentation enables our staff to communicate effectively with existing healthcare providers, verify previous treatment protocols, and relay any medication adjustments made during the treatment stay.
Through this collaborative approach, we’re able to maintain continuity of care and develop medication plans that support your teen’s recovery journey, while keeping you informed and involved in all medical decisions.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
At our facility, teens are expected to follow a structured set of rules designed to create a safe, supportive environment for everyone in treatment.
We maintain strict guidelines around respectful behavior, participation in therapy sessions and activities, and adherence to daily schedules, which include designated times for waking up, meals, and bedtime.
We’ve established clear policies regarding prohibited items, including cell phones, personal electronics, and any substances that could compromise recovery.
While in treatment, teens must remain on facility grounds, attend all scheduled sessions, complete assigned therapeutic work, and maintain appropriate boundaries with peers.
Additionally, we require full participation in academic studies, proper hygiene maintenance, and compliance with our visitor policies, which include approved family members during designated hours only.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
While staying close to home may seem ideal, there are several compelling advantages to seeking out-of-state treatment for your teenager. Out-of-state care often provides a fresh environment away from negative influences and triggers, allowing your teen to focus solely on their recovery journey.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance can create emotional space for healing and self-discovery.
Additionally, choosing an out-of-state facility like ours expands your options for finding specialized programs that perfectly match your teen’s needs, rather than limiting yourself to local choices.
We’ve observed that the geographic separation often strengthens family dynamics through structured visitation and therapy sessions, while our academic support guarantees your teen stays on track with their education during treatment, regardless of their home state.
How do I get started?
Starting the admissions process for your teen is straightforward and efficient. When you contact our admissions team, we’ll begin with a brief 10-minute phone assessment to confirm our program aligns with your teen’s needs and circumstances.
After completing the initial assessment, our dedicated team will verify your insurance benefits and discuss any financial considerations. We’ll explain coverage details, out-of-pocket expenses, and alternative payment options if needed.
Once we’ve addressed the practical aspects, we’ll work with you to schedule an intake appointment at our Montville Adolescent Center facility in Towaco, New Jersey. During this process, we’ll provide a thorough checklist of required documentation and items your teen should bring, facilitating a smooth shift into our program.
Our goal is to make admission as stress-free as possible while getting your teen the help they need.
