Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that families have many questions when considering teen rehab treatment, from insurance coverage and visitation policies to educational support and living arrangements.
Our thorough FAQ section addresses common concerns about treatment costs, family involvement through regular visitation and therapy sessions, coordination with schools to maintain academic progress, and our comfortable semi-private room accommodations.
For more detailed information about our program specifics, including insurance verification, educational services, and family support resources, we encourage you to contact our admissions team who can provide personalized guidance for your situation.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers all or part of teen addiction treatment costs, 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 cover essential health benefits, including substance use disorder treatment and mental health services, at the same level as medical care.
We accept most major insurance plans and can help verify your coverage for our teen treatment programs.
Our admissions team will work directly with your insurance provider to determine exact benefits and out-of-pocket costs.
If you don’t have insurance or need additional financial options, we’ll discuss alternative payment arrangements to ascertain your teen gets the care they need.
We believe that cost shouldn’t be a barrier to accessing quality addiction treatment.
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.
We’ve established a structured visitation program that allows families to maintain meaningful contact while supporting their teen’s recovery journey. Our visitation hours take place every Sunday during designated times, and we welcome family members and guardians who are 18 or older to participate in these important connections.
Before any visits can occur, we require all potential visitors to receive approval from our clinical staff and attend one of our Family Support Sessions, which helps create a supportive environment for recovery.
Through this carefully managed approach, we’re able to guarantee that family visits contribute positively to your teen’s treatment progress while maintaining the structure and safety of our program.
Do you offer support to family members?
Supporting families throughout their teen’s recovery journey is a cornerstone of our treatment philosophy at Montville Adolescent Center. We provide extensive family support services, including weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular progress updates to guarantee parents and guardians remain actively involved in their teen’s recovery process.
Our family program includes specialized support groups where family members can connect with others facing similar challenges, while also learning essential coping strategies and communication techniques.
We recognize that addiction affects the entire family system, which is why we’ve integrated family therapy into our core treatment approach, helping to address underlying family dynamics and establish healthier patterns of interaction.
Additionally, we offer ongoing resources and guidance to help families maneuver the challenges of early recovery and maintain positive changes after treatment.
What educational coordination is offered?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we prioritize educational continuity through extensive coordination with each teen’s home school district. Our academic program includes two structured hours daily of educational activities, guaranteeing students maintain their academic progress while receiving treatment.
We’ve established strong partnerships with local schools to facilitate attendance credits and align our curriculum with each student’s educational requirements.
Our dedicated staff works closely with teachers and school administrators to gather current assignments, coordinate testing schedules, and guarantee seamless integration of coursework.
We recognize that maintaining academic momentum is vital for our teens’ future success, which is why we provide individualized academic support within our structured treatment environment.

Will my teenager have their own room?
Beyond maintaining academic progress, parents often ask about living arrangements at our facility.

Our thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize both security and therapeutic benefit, creating an environment that’s conducive to recovery and personal growth.

Each living space is designed to provide a safe, structured environment where teens can focus on their recovery journey. Our 1:1 staff-to-client ratio guarantees consistent supervision and support, regardless of room arrangement, maintaining both safety and therapeutic effectiveness throughout your teen’s stay with us.
Do you prescribe medications?
Many parents have questions about medication management during their teen’s treatment. At Montville Adolescent Center, we follow strict protocols regarding medication prescriptions and adjustments, ensuring both safety and transparency. Before implementing any new medications or modifying existing prescriptions, we’ll discuss all changes with parents or legal guardians.
To provide the most thorough care, we request that parents sign a Release of Information (ROI) form if their teen currently has a psychiatrist or primary care provider. This documentation allows us to communicate effectively with these healthcare providers, verify previous treatment protocols, and coordinate any medication adjustments during and after treatment.
Through this collaborative approach, we’re able to maintain continuity of care while ensuring that all medication decisions align with your teen’s overall treatment goals and family preferences.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Structure and rules form the foundation of our teen rehabilitation program, creating a safe and productive healing environment.
We maintain several essential guidelines, including mandatory participation in all scheduled activities, respect for staff and peers, and strict adherence to our no-contraband policy. Our teens must follow their individualized daily schedules, which include medical check-ins, therapy sessions, and academic work, while maintaining appropriate boundaries with other clients.
Additionally, we require compliance with our dress code, proper hygiene practices, and designated quiet hours. During their stay, teens aren’t permitted to use personal electronic devices, and communication with outside contacts is limited to approved family members and guardians.
These guidelines help guarantee successful treatment outcomes while fostering responsibility and accountability in our clients.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Sending your teenager to an out-of-state treatment facility offers several compelling advantages for their recovery journey. By choosing a treatment center away from home, we’ve found that teens can focus more intensively on their recovery without the distractions of nearby friends or familiar triggers.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve seen how physical distance creates emotional space for real transformation, allowing adolescents to develop new perspectives and healthier coping mechanisms.
Additionally, out-of-state treatment often provides access to specialized programs that mightn’t be available locally. Our facility’s 1:1 staff-to-client ratio, extensive academic support, and diverse therapeutic approaches, including CBT and creative arts therapy, offer unique advantages that complement the benefits of geographical separation.
We’re just 45 minutes from Manhattan, making us accessible while maintaining that essential therapeutic distance.
How do I get started?
After deciding that out-of-state treatment is right for your teen, taking the first step toward recovery is straightforward.
Our dedicated admissions team will guide you through our streamlined process, beginning with a brief 10-minute phone assessment to confirm we’re the right fit for your child’s needs.
Once we’ve completed the initial evaluation, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and discuss any financial considerations.
We’ll then work with you to arrange a convenient intake time that aligns with your schedule. Throughout this process, we’ll maintain clear communication about what to expect and address any concerns you might have.
Our experienced counselors will also provide guidance on preparing for your teen’s arrival at Montville Adolescent Center, guaranteeing a smooth changeover into our treatment program.
