Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
At Guardian Recovery’s Montville Adolescent Center, we recognize parents have many questions about their teen’s treatment journey, from insurance coverage and visitation policies to educational continuity and living arrangements.
We’re committed to making the recovery process transparent and accessible, with our team ready to explain how insurance typically covers treatment costs, our Sunday family visitation program, and our dedicated academic coordination with your teen’s home school.
Through our extensive family support services, private and semi-private room options, and individualized treatment approach, we endeavor to create a supportive environment where both teens and their families can focus on healing and growth.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers most or all of teen addiction treatment costs, thanks to federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
Under these laws, insurance providers must cover essential health benefits, including substance use disorder treatment and mental healthcare, at the same level as medical services.
We accept most major insurance plans and can help verify your benefits to determine coverage levels and any out-of-pocket expenses.
Our admissions team will work directly with your insurance provider to maximize your coverage and explain all costs upfront.
If you don’t have insurance or need additional payment options, we’ll discuss alternative financing solutions to guarantee your teen can access the care they need.
Contact us for a confidential insurance verification and detailed cost breakdown.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
We understand that maintaining a connection with your teen during treatment is crucial for parents and guardians.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve established structured visitation policies that prioritize both family involvement and your teen’s therapeutic progress. Our designated visiting hours occur on Sundays, allowing family members and legal guardians who are 18 or older to spend quality time with their teen.
Before any visits can take place, we require all potential visitors to obtain approval from our clinical staff and participate in a Family Support Session.
This process ensures that visits are beneficial to your teen’s recovery journey and that family members are equipped to provide the best support during treatment.
We believe that this approach helps preserve the therapeutic environment while nurturing vital family connections.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family involvement forms a cornerstone of our teen rehabilitation program. We recognize that addiction affects the entire family unit, which is why we’ve developed extensive support services that include weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular progress updates about your teen’s treatment journey.
Through our family support program, we provide parents and guardians with essential tools to understand addiction, improve communication patterns, and establish healthy boundaries. Our licensed family therapists work closely with families to address underlying issues, rebuild trust, and create a strong foundation for lasting recovery.
Additionally, we offer a dedicated Family Support Session before visitation hours on Sundays, where families can connect with other parents facing similar challenges while learning valuable coping strategies and receiving guidance on supporting their teen’s recovery process.
What educational coordination is offered?
Educational continuity remains a top priority at Montville Adolescent Center through our extensive academic coordination program. We partner directly with each teen’s home school district to guarantee they maintain academic progress during treatment, dedicating two hours daily to structured educational activities that align with their regular curriculum.
Our academic support team works closely with school administrators to facilitate attendance credits and coordinate coursework, ensuring our clients don’t fall behind while receiving treatment.
We’ve established relationships with local schools to create seamless curriculum integration, and our staff regularly communicates with teachers to track progress and adjust educational plans as needed.
Through this all-encompassing approach, we’re able to support our clients’ academic success while they focus on their recovery, making the eventual shift back to their school environment much smoother.
Will my teenager have their own room?
At Montville Adolescent Center, teens have access to both private and semi-private room options. Our accommodations are thoughtfully designed to create a comfortable, home-like environment that supports our clients’ recovery journey while maintaining appropriate supervision and safety protocols.
We understand that having personal space is essential for teenagers during treatment, which is why we’ve arranged our gender-specific housing floors to provide both privacy and opportunities for healthy social interaction.
While room assignments are based on clinical considerations and availability, we work to accommodate individual needs whenever possible. Our living spaces are carefully monitored and maintained to guarantee they remain supportive environments where teens can focus on their recovery, complete academic work, and practice the coping skills they’re learning in treatment.
Do you prescribe medications?
When it comes to medication management, our medical team takes a careful and collaborative approach.
We’ll discuss any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions with parents or guardians before implementation, guaranteeing full transparency in your teen’s treatment plan.
If your child currently has a psychiatrist or primary care provider who manages their medications, we’ll need you to sign our Release of Information (ROI) form, which allows us to communicate effectively with these healthcare providers throughout your teen’s stay.
This coordination enables us to verify previous treatment protocols and discuss any medication adjustments that may be necessary during their time with us.
We’ll also guarantee that information about medication changes is properly communicated to support post-treatment care and ongoing recovery success.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Yes, our teen treatment program maintains clear behavioral guidelines and expectations to create a safe, structured environment conducive to recovery.
We require teens to follow daily schedules, participate in all therapeutic activities, and maintain appropriate boundaries with peers and staff. Additionally, we enforce strict policies regarding contraband items, including cell phones and unauthorized medications.
To guarantee everyone’s safety and progress, we’ve established specific guidelines around respectful communication, personal space, and appropriate dress code.
Our teens must attend all scheduled therapy sessions, complete assigned therapeutic work, and actively participate in group activities. While these rules may seem stringent, they’re designed to foster accountability, structure, and mutual respect – essential elements for successful recovery and personal growth.
Parents can review our complete behavioral guidelines during the admission process.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Beyond our structured rules and guidelines, many parents wonder about sending their teen to an out-of-state treatment facility. While we believe that quality treatment can be found both locally and out of state, there are distinct advantages to choosing a facility away from home, including removal from negative peer influences and familiar triggers that could impede recovery.
Out-of-state treatment often provides a fresh environment where teens can focus entirely on their recovery journey, free from local distractions and social pressures.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance can create emotional space for growth, while our location’s accessibility – just 45 minutes from Manhattan and two hours from Philadelphia – guarantees that families can still actively participate in their teen’s treatment through our scheduled visitation programs and family therapy sessions.
How do I get started?
Starting the journey toward teen rehabilitation is straightforward at Montville Adolescent Center. We begin with a brief, 10-minute phone assessment conducted by our dedicated admissions counselors, who’ll determine if our program aligns with your teenager’s specific needs and circumstances.
Once we’ve confirmed that we’re the right fit for your child, our team will verify your insurance benefits and discuss any financial considerations.
We’ll then work with you to schedule a convenient intake appointment, where we’ll complete necessary paperwork and conduct a more thorough evaluation.
Throughout this process, we’re committed to making the admission experience as seamless as possible, understanding that taking this first step can feel overwhelming for both parents and teens.
