Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize parents have many important questions about our teen rehab program, from insurance coverage and visitation policies to educational support and accommodation arrangements.
Through our thorough insurance verification process, family visitation program, academic partnerships with local schools, and comfortable private and semi-private room options, we’ve created a supportive environment that addresses both clinical and practical concerns.
Our experienced staff is ready to walk you through every aspect of our program, including our family therapy sessions, educational coordination services, and daily schedule, to guarantee you and your teen feel fully informed and supported throughout the treatment journey.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Thanks to key healthcare regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), most insurance plans will cover all or part of your teen’s addiction treatment costs.
These regulations require insurance providers to treat mental health and substance use disorders as essential health benefits, guaranteeing extensive coverage for necessary treatment services.
We’ll work directly with your insurance provider to verify benefits and determine your coverage levels for our adolescent programs, including detox, residential treatment, and therapy services.
While coverage amounts vary by plan and provider, we’re committed to helping you understand your benefits and any out-of-pocket expenses.
If you don’t have insurance or need additional financial options, our admissions team can discuss alternative payment arrangements to guarantee your teen receives the care they need.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
While maintaining strong family connections is essential during treatment, visits to Montville Adolescent Center follow a structured schedule to ensure your teen’s recovery progress.
We designate specific visiting hours on Sundays, when approved family members and legal guardians who are at least 18 years old can spend time with their teens.
Before any visitation can occur, we require all potential visitors to receive approval from our clinical staff and participate in a Family Support Session, which helps create a supportive environment for recovery.
During these sessions, we’ll provide guidance on effective communication strategies and discuss your teen’s progress in treatment.
We recognize the importance of family involvement in the healing process, which is why we’ve designed our visitation policy to balance therapeutic needs with meaningful family connections.
Do you offer support to family members?
Recognizing that addiction affects the entire family, our program provides extensive support services for parents, guardians, and siblings throughout their teen’s treatment journey.
We offer weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and support groups designed to help family members understand addiction, improve communication, and develop healthy coping strategies.
Our all-encompassing family support includes regular progress updates from our clinical team, guidance on post-treatment planning, and resources for establishing healthy boundaries at home.
Through our Family Support Sessions, which are required before visitation, we’ll help you understand your role in your teen’s recovery journey.
Additionally, we provide access to parent support groups where you can connect with other families facing similar challenges, share experiences, and build a network of understanding and encouragement.
What educational coordination is offered?
Our academic coordination program guarantees your teen stays on track with their education during treatment. We partner directly with your child’s home school district to guarantee proper credit transfers and curriculum alignment, dedicating two hours each day to structured academic pursuits.
We’ve developed a thorough approach that includes coordinating with teachers, maintaining detailed progress reports, and providing specialized educational support when needed.
Our staff works closely with your teen’s school to gather assignments, facilitate testing requirements, and guarantee a seamless shift back to the classroom after treatment.
To support this process, we’ve established relationships with local school districts and maintain regular communication with educational administrators, helping bridge any gaps in your teen’s academic journey while they focus on their recovery.
Will my teenager have their own room?
In accordance with our facility’s layout, teens may have either private or semi-private room accommodations at Montville Adolescent Center.
We’ve designed our gender-specific housing floors to provide both comfort and security, ensuring that each resident has their own personal space while maintaining appropriate supervision levels.
For teens who may benefit from additional privacy during their recovery journey, we offer private rooms when available and clinically appropriate.
Our semi-private rooms, which are shared between two residents, help foster peer support and social connection while still maintaining personal boundaries.
Regardless of room type, we’ve carefully furnished each space with essential amenities and safety features, creating an environment that supports both therapeutic progress and emotional well-being throughout the treatment process.
Do you prescribe medications?
While teen medication needs are carefully evaluated at Montville Adolescent Center, we maintain strict protocols around prescribing and managing medications.
Before making any changes or adding new prescriptions, we’ll discuss these decisions thoroughly with parents or guardians to guarantee complete transparency and understanding of the treatment approach.
For teens who already have a psychiatrist or primary care provider managing their medications, we’ll need a signed Release of Information (ROI) form to facilitate communication with these healthcare providers.
This allows us to verify previous treatment history and effectively coordinate any medication adjustments during your teen’s stay.
Additionally, this collaboration guarantees a seamless shift in medication management when your child returns home, as we’ll communicate all changes and recommendations to their regular healthcare providers.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Just as medication management follows clear protocols, behavioral expectations at Montville Adolescent Center are structured to create a safe, focused healing environment.
Our rules include maintaining respect for staff and peers, following daily schedules precisely, and participating actively in all therapeutic activities and academic sessions.
We’ve established clear guidelines around appropriate dress code, personal space boundaries, and prohibited items to guarantee everyone’s safety and comfort during treatment.
During their stay, teens must adhere to our communication policies, which include supervised phone calls with approved family members and restricted internet access.
We require full participation in group sessions, individual therapy appointments, and educational programming, while maintaining a substance-free environment.
These structured expectations help create the stability and routine that’s essential for successful recovery and personal growth.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Choosing out-of-state treatment for your teen offers several meaningful advantages. At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences can create a significant break in destructive patterns, allowing your teen to focus entirely on their recovery journey.
The change in environment often reduces the likelihood of leaving treatment early, as the geographic separation naturally limits impulsive decisions to return home.
We’ve observed that out-of-state treatment also provides teens with a fresh perspective and clean slate, free from the judgment of local peers or community members.
Additionally, our location’s accessibility, just 45 minutes from Manhattan, means families can still maintain regular involvement through our Sunday visitation program and family therapy sessions, ensuring strong support while balancing therapeutic independence.
How do I get started?
Taking the first step toward teen addiction treatment is straightforward at Montville Adolescent Center. When you contact our admissions team, one of our dedicated counselors will conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment over the phone to guarantee we’re the right fit for your teen’s specific needs and circumstances.
After completing the initial assessment, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and discuss any financial considerations, helping you understand the coverage available for your child’s treatment.
Once we’ve addressed these practical matters, we’ll work with you to arrange a convenient intake time that accommodates your schedule. Throughout this process, our experienced team will guide you through each step, answering questions and addressing concerns to guarantee a smooth shift into our program.
