Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize parents have many questions about our teen rehab program, including concerns about insurance coverage, family visits, educational continuity, and living arrangements during treatment.
Through our thorough insurance verification process, we’ll help determine your coverage benefits, while our structured visitation program and academic partnerships guarantee your teen maintains both family connections and educational progress during their stay.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private rooms, maintain regular communication with families through therapy sessions and updates, and coordinate closely with your teen’s school to prevent any academic disruption.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Thanks to key healthcare regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), insurance typically covers all or part of teen addiction treatment costs.
These federal laws guarantee essential health benefits, including mental health and substance use disorder treatment, must be covered by insurance providers.
We accept most major insurance plans at Montville Adolescent Center, and we’ll help verify your coverage before admission.
Our admissions team can perform a complimentary benefits check to determine your out-of-pocket expenses for our teen treatment programs.
If you don’t have insurance coverage, we’ll work with you to investigate alternative payment options that make treatment accessible.
To understand your specific coverage and costs, we encourage you to reach out to our admissions counselors for a confidential consultation.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
While understanding insurance coverage is important, many parents also want to know about staying connected with their teen during treatment.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we recognize the crucial role family connections play in successful recovery, which is why we’ve established structured visitation opportunities every Sunday during designated hours.
To guarantee safety and therapeutic benefit, we maintain specific guidelines for these visits. Family members and guardians who are at least 18 years old are welcome to visit, but they 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 and supportive interaction with their teen during treatment.
This comprehensive approach allows families to stay involved while maintaining the therapeutic environment necessary for recovery.
Do you offer support to family members?
Supporting families throughout their teen’s recovery journey is a cornerstone of Montville Adolescent Center’s treatment approach. We recognize that addiction affects the entire family unit, which is why we’ve developed extensive family support services that include regular therapy sessions, educational workshops, and ongoing communication with our clinical team.
Our family program includes weekly family therapy sessions, where parents and siblings can work through challenges together.
Our educational workshops help families understand addiction, recovery, and effective communication strategies.
We’ll keep you informed about your teen’s progress through regular updates from our treatment team, and we provide resources to help you create a supportive home environment.
Additionally, we offer guidance on post-treatment planning, ensuring families feel prepared to support their teen’s continued recovery after completing our program.
What educational coordination is offered?
Educational continuity remains a top priority at Montville Adolescent Center. We actively collaborate with each student’s home school district to guarantee they stay on track academically during their treatment.
Through our partnerships with local schools, we maintain seamless curriculum integration and facilitate attendance credits.
Our daily schedule includes two dedicated hours of structured academic time, where students engage in both traditional coursework and physical education activities.
We’ve designed our program to prevent academic disruption, making the eventual shift back to regular school as smooth as possible. Our staff works closely with teachers and school administrators to coordinate assignments, track progress, and address any educational challenges that arise during treatment.
This thorough approach helps guarantee that recovery doesn’t come at the expense of academic achievement.
Will my teenager have their own room?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options for our teen residents. Our thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize comfort, safety, and privacy while supporting our therapeutic environment.
We recognize that having personal space is essential for reflection and emotional processing during treatment.
Our gender-specific housing floors provide appropriate accommodations, and we carefully consider room assignments based on individual needs and clinical recommendations.
While private rooms are available, many teens benefit from having a roommate who can provide peer support during their recovery journey.
Each room is purposefully furnished to create a calm, structured environment that promotes healing, and our 1:1 staff-to-client ratio guarantees constant supervision and support, regardless of room configuration.
Do you prescribe medications?
During treatment at Montville Adolescent Center, we work closely with our medical team to prescribe appropriate medications when necessary for our teen patients.
Before starting or modifying any medications, we’ll thoroughly discuss all options with parents or guardians to guarantee informed decisions about their child’s treatment plan.
For teens who currently work with a psychiatrist or primary care provider, we request that parents sign our Release of Information (ROI) form, which enables essential communication between our medical team and existing healthcare providers.
This collaboration allows us to verify previous treatments and effectively coordinate any medication adjustments during the program.
Additionally, we’ll communicate all medication changes to the teen’s regular providers to guarantee continuity of care after completing treatment at our facility.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Residents at Montville Adolescent Center must follow several essential rules designed to create a safe, structured, and therapeutic environment.
We’ve established clear guidelines that include maintaining respect for staff and peers, attending all scheduled therapy sessions and academic classes, following the daily schedule, and adhering to our zero-tolerance policy for drugs and alcohol.
Additionally, we require teens to participate actively in their treatment programs, complete assigned therapeutic work, and respect others’ privacy and personal space.
To guarantee everyone’s safety and promote recovery, we don’t allow personal electronic devices, and we carefully monitor all communication with the outside world.
Our dress code emphasizes appropriate, comfortable clothing, and we expect teens to maintain proper hygiene and keep their living spaces clean and organized.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Choosing out-of-state treatment for your teenager offers several meaningful advantages. At our Montville Adolescent Center, just 45 minutes from Manhattan, we’ve found that physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences can greatly enhance the recovery process.
The change in environment often helps teens focus entirely on their treatment journey, while also providing a fresh perspective away from local peer pressures and established patterns.
Additionally, our facility’s location, which serves families from Montgomery Township and beyond, offers the perfect balance of accessibility and separation.
We’re close enough for regular family therapy sessions and visits, yet far enough to create that essential therapeutic space. Our serene setting, combined with our extensive academic program and specialized treatment approaches, guarantees your teen receives the focused care they need while maintaining their educational progress.
How do I get started?
Getting started with our teen rehab program is straightforward and begins with a simple phone call to our admissions team.
Our dedicated counselors will conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment over the phone to verify we’re the right fit for your teenager’s specific needs and circumstances.
Once we’ve completed the initial assessment, we’ll proceed with verifying your insurance benefits, if applicable, to determine coverage and out-of-pocket costs for treatment.
If you don’t have insurance, we’ll discuss alternative payment options that might work for your family.
After completing these preliminary steps, we’ll coordinate with you to arrange an intake appointment at our Montville Adolescent Center facility, where we’ll begin developing a personalized treatment plan for your teen’s recovery journey.
