Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
It’s understood that parents often have pressing questions about our teen rehab program, including concerns about insurance coverage, family visits, and educational continuity during treatment.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve structured our program to address these common concerns, offering thorough insurance verification services, weekly family visitation opportunities, and seamless academic coordination with your teen’s home school district.
While teens typically share semi-private rooms to encourage peer support and social development, our facility provides extensive family engagement through regular therapy sessions, educational workshops, and consistent updates on your child’s progress.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers all or part of teen addiction treatment costs, thanks to two key federal regulations.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) mandates that insurance providers must cover essential health benefits, which include mental health and substance use disorder treatment for adolescents.
Additionally, the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) guarantees that insurance companies can’t impose unfair limitations on addiction and mental health benefits.
We understand that understanding insurance coverage can be complex, which is why our admissions team is here to help.
We’ll verify your benefits and explain exactly what your insurance will cover for your teen’s treatment at Montville Adolescent Center.
If you don’t have insurance, we’ll discuss alternative payment options to make sure your teen can receive the care they need.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Family connection remains an essential part of the recovery process at Montville Adolescent Center. We encourage family involvement through our structured visitation program, which takes place every Sunday during designated hours.
To maintain a safe and therapeutic environment, we carefully manage these visits through specific guidelines and requirements. Visitors must be family members or legal guardians who are at least 18 years old, and all potential visitors need prior approval from our clinical staff.
Additionally, we require family members to participate in a Family Support Session before their first visit, which helps create a more meaningful and supportive interaction. Through this approach, we’re able to integrate family connections into the treatment process while maintaining the structure and safety that’s vital for our teens’ recovery journey.
Do you offer support to family members?
Strong family support plays an essential role in teen recovery, which is why Montville Adolescent Center offers thorough family-centered services. We provide regular family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and support groups that help parents and guardians understand addiction, mental health, and effective communication strategies.
Our extensive family program includes weekly updates on your teen’s progress, structured visitation opportunities on Sundays, and specialized training in coping skills that families can use at home.
Additionally, we offer educational resources about substance use disorders, co-occurring mental health conditions, and post-treatment planning to make sure families feel equipped to support their teen’s recovery journey.
Through our family-focused approach, we’re committed to helping rebuild trust, improve communication, and strengthen family bonds throughout the treatment process.
What educational coordination is offered?
During treatment at Montville Adolescent Center, we actively collaborate with each teen’s home school district to maintain their academic progress.
We dedicate two hours daily to structured academic activities, ensuring students don’t fall behind in their coursework while receiving treatment.
Our educational coordination includes partnering with local schools to align curriculum requirements, facilitate attendance credits, and provide seamless integration with the student’s academic plan.
Through our extensive academic support system, we’re able to help teens stay on track with their studies while focusing on their recovery journey.
We recognize that maintaining educational momentum is essential for our clients’ future success, which is why we’ve developed strong relationships with school districts to create individualized learning plans that accommodate both treatment needs and academic goals.
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 the therapeutic environment that’s essential for recovery, with gender-specific housing floors that provide additional privacy and security for our clients.
We understand that having personal space is important during treatment, which is why we’ve carefully structured our accommodations to balance individual privacy with opportunities for healthy social interaction.
While private rooms are available, many of our teens benefit from sharing a room with one carefully matched peer, as this arrangement can help develop important social skills and provide mutual support during the recovery journey.
All rooms, whether private or semi-private, are regularly monitored by our attentive staff to guarantee safety and comfort.
Do you prescribe medications?
Our medical team at Montville Adolescent Center carefully manages all medication needs for teen clients under professional supervision.
When it comes to prescribing or adjusting medications, we follow strict protocols that prioritize communication with parents and guardians, guaranteeing they’re fully informed and involved in all medical decisions.
If your teen already works with a psychiatrist or primary care provider, we’ll ask you to sign a Release of Information (ROI) form, which enables seamless communication between our medical team and your child’s existing healthcare providers.
This collaborative approach allows us to verify previous treatment history and effectively coordinate any medication changes during your teen’s stay.
We’ll also guarantee that all medication-related information is properly communicated for post-treatment care, maintaining continuity in your child’s treatment plan.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Structure and safety are fundamental pillars of our teen treatment program, which maintains clear expectations and rules that all residents must follow. Our guidelines guarantee a therapeutic environment where teens can focus on their recovery while respecting others’ space and privacy.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we require teens to participate in all scheduled activities, maintain appropriate boundaries, and follow our structured daily schedule, including medical check-ins and therapy sessions.
We don’t allow personal electronic devices, and we monitor all communication with family members to maintain a safe, focused environment. Additionally, we expect residents to respect the facility’s physical spaces, participate in academic coursework, and maintain appropriate dress code standards.
These rules create stability and consistency, which we’ve found essential for successful treatment outcomes.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Choosing an out-of-state treatment facility for your teen can offer several meaningful advantages. At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences often accelerates the recovery process, while also providing a fresh environment for personal growth and reflection.
Being away from home can help your teen focus entirely on their recovery without daily distractions or pressures from their local social circle. We’ve observed that this separation often strengthens family dynamics, as both teens and parents gain valuable perspective during treatment.
Additionally, our location’s accessibility, just 45 minutes from Manhattan, makes it convenient for families traveling from neighboring states while still maintaining that vital therapeutic distance. The change in environment can serve as a powerful reset button, allowing your teenager to build new, healthy habits without old patterns interfering.
How do I get started?
Starting treatment for your teen is a straightforward process that we’ve streamlined into three simple steps:
First, reach out to our dedicated admissions team, who’ll connect you with a counselor to conduct a brief 10-minute pre-assessment over the phone, confirming Montville Adolescent Center is the right fit for your teenager’s needs.
Next, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and discuss payment options, providing you with a clear understanding of coverage and any potential out-of-pocket expenses.
Finally, we’ll coordinate your teen’s intake appointment at our facility in Towaco, New Jersey, where our specialized staff will begin developing a personalized treatment plan.
Throughout this process, our experienced admissions team will guide you, answer your questions, and guarantee a smooth shift into our program.
