Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize parents have many questions about our teen rehab program, from insurance coverage and visiting policies to educational support and living arrangements.
Through our thorough FAQ resources, we can help clarify important details about insurance benefits, weekly family visits, academic coordination with home schools, and room arrangements in our facility.
Parents and guardians can feel confident knowing we maintain transparent communication about all aspects of treatment, including our family support services, educational programs, and comfortable semi-private or private room options that help teens feel at home during their recovery journey.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers most or all costs associated with teen addiction treatment, thanks to federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
These laws guarantee that insurance providers must include coverage for mental health and substance use disorder treatment as essential health benefits.
We accept most major insurance plans and can help verify your coverage to determine out-of-pocket costs.
Our admissions team will work directly with your insurance provider to maximize your benefits and explain any potential expenses.
If you’re concerned about coverage, we’ll conduct a complimentary benefits check and discuss additional payment options that might be available to you, including payment plans or sliding scale fees based on financial need.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Beyond understanding insurance coverage, many parents want to know about maintaining contact with their teen during treatment.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve established a structured visitation program that allows families to stay connected while maintaining the therapeutic environment essential for recovery. Visitation takes place during designated hours on Sundays, with specific guidelines to guarantee a supportive atmosphere for all our clients.
We welcome family members and guardians who are 18 or older, though all visitors must first receive approval from our clinical staff. Additionally, we require visitors to participate in a Family Support Session before their first visit, as this helps create a more meaningful interaction that aligns with your teen’s treatment goals and progress.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family involvement forms a cornerstone of our teen rehabilitation program, with extensive support services designed specifically for parents, siblings, and other family members.
We provide weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and support groups that help families understand addiction, develop healthy communication patterns, and learn effective coping strategies.
Through our thorough family program, we’re committed to helping relatives maneuver through the challenges of supporting a teen in recovery, while also addressing their own emotional needs.
Our experienced therapists facilitate regular family support sessions, where members can share experiences, learn from others facing similar situations, and gain valuable insights into the recovery process.
Additionally, we maintain open lines of communication between our clinical team and families, ensuring everyone stays informed about treatment progress and recovery milestones.
What educational coordination is offered?
Montville Adolescent Center’s academic coordination guarantees teens stay on track with their education while receiving treatment. We partner directly with each client’s home school district to secure attendance credits and maintain curriculum alignment throughout their stay.
During treatment, we dedicate two hours daily to structured academic pursuits, including both traditional coursework and physical education activities.
Our educational support system includes regular communication with teachers and school administrators, helping to create a seamless shift when teens return to their regular academic environment.

Will my teenager have their own room?
At our facility, we offer both private and semi-private room options depending on availability and clinical recommendations.
Our accommodations are thoughtfully designed to create a comfortable, therapeutic environment where teens can focus on their recovery journey while maintaining appropriate levels of privacy and social interaction.

At Montville Adolescent Center, we’re committed to discussing any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions with parents and guardians before implementation.
We’ll work closely with your teen’s current psychiatrist or primary care provider to guarantee continuity of care, which is why we require a signed Release of Information (ROI) form.
This documentation allows us to verify past treatment history and communicate effectively about medication adjustments during and after your child’s stay.
Our medical team carefully evaluates each teen’s needs, and we maintain open communication with families throughout the treatment process, ensuring that all medication decisions align with your child’s extensive treatment plan.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Throughout our teen treatment program, we maintain clear behavioral expectations and rules to create a structured, therapeutic environment.
We require all teens to attend scheduled therapy sessions, participate in group activities, complete academic work, and follow our daily schedule, which includes designated times for meals, recreation, and rest.
To guarantee everyone’s safety and recovery, we don’t allow cell phones or unauthorized electronic devices, and we’ve strict policies against violence, bullying, or possession of substances.
Additionally, we expect teens to maintain appropriate boundaries with peers, respect staff directives, and participate actively in their treatment plan.
While these rules may seem stringent, they’re designed to foster accountability, personal growth, and a supportive community where lasting recovery can take root.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Sending your teenager to an out-of-state treatment facility like Montville Adolescent Center offers several meaningful advantages. The physical distance often helps break destructive patterns and relationships that may have contributed to substance use, while providing a fresh environment for recovery.
Our location, just 45 minutes from Manhattan, combines accessibility with the benefits of a new therapeutic setting.
We’ve found that out-of-state treatment can reduce external distractions and peer influences, allowing teens to focus fully on their recovery journey. Additionally, our specialized programs and 1:1 staff-to-client ratio guarantee individualized care that may not be available closer to home.
