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 family support programs.
We’re committed to making the recovery process as transparent as possible, with our admissions team ready to verify insurance benefits, explain our Sunday visitation schedule, and outline how we maintain academic progress through partnerships with local schools.
Our extensive FAQ resources address common concerns about room arrangements, medication management, and family therapy options, ensuring parents have the information needed to make informed decisions about their teenager’s care.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers most or all costs associated with teen addiction treatment, thanks to key healthcare regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
We’ll help you understand exactly what your insurance covers, as every plan is different. Our admissions team works directly with insurance providers to verify benefits and determine your out-of-pocket costs before treatment begins.
While we accept most major insurance plans, we also offer flexible payment options for families without insurance coverage. Through our insurance verification process, we’ll provide you with a clear breakdown of covered services, including detox, residential treatment, therapy sessions, and medication management.
If you’re unsure about coverage, we encourage you to reach out to our admissions counselors for a confidential benefits check.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Yes, parents and guardians can visit their teens during designated visitation hours on Sundays.
To ensure the safety and therapeutic integrity of our program, we require all visitors to be at least 18 years old and receive prior approval from our clinical staff.
Our visitation policy is designed to support both family involvement and treatment progress.
Therefore, we require visitors to attend a Family Support Session before spending time with their teen. This session helps families understand their role in the recovery process and provides tools for productive interactions.
During these sessions, we’ll address any concerns, update you on your teen’s progress, and offer guidance on maintaining healthy communication.
Our staff will work with you to coordinate visitation times and ensure you’re well-prepared for these important family connections.
Do you offer support to family members?
Beyond our visitation program, we offer extensive family support services throughout your teen’s treatment journey. Our thorough family program includes weekly therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular progress updates to keep you informed and involved in your child’s recovery process.
Through our family-centric approach, we provide dedicated counseling sessions that address familial dynamics, communication patterns, and coping strategies, while our experienced therapists help steer challenging conversations and establish healthy boundaries.
Additionally, we’ll equip you with essential tools and resources, including educational materials about substance use disorders, mental health, and post-treatment support strategies. Our team remains available to answer questions and provide guidance, ensuring that you’re well-prepared to support your teen’s ongoing recovery journey after they complete their treatment program.
What educational coordination is offered?
Throughout treatment, our academic coordination team works closely with each teen’s home school district to maintain educational progress and guarantee proper credit accumulation.
We’ve structured our program to include two dedicated hours of academic instruction daily, ensuring students don’t fall behind in their studies while receiving treatment.
Our educational support extends beyond basic coursework, as we collaborate with school administrators to align our curriculum with each student’s specific academic requirements and learning goals.
We provide regular progress updates to both families and school districts, while our experienced educational coordinators help facilitate a seamless shift back to regular schooling after treatment.
Additionally, we can arrange for specialized tutoring and educational accommodations when necessary, ensuring that every teen’s academic needs are fully supported throughout their recovery journey.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Our facility offers both private and semi-private room options to accommodate different needs and preferences.
While semi-private rooms foster peer support and social interaction, which can be beneficial during the recovery process, we recognize that some teens may require additional privacy based on their specific treatment needs or personal circumstances.
In our gender-specific housing floors, we’ve thoughtfully designed each room to create a comfortable, therapeutic environment where teens can feel secure and focused on their recovery journey.
All rooms, whether private or shared, are regularly monitored by our staff to guarantee safety and appropriate supervision, while still maintaining our residents’ dignity and personal space.
We’ll work with you and your teenager to determine the most suitable room arrangement that aligns with their treatment goals and comfort level.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medication management plays an essential role in our teen treatment program, and we work closely with parents or guardians before making any changes to existing prescriptions or introducing new medications.
We’ll discuss all treatment options thoroughly with you to guarantee you’re informed and comfortable with our recommended approach.
If your teen currently works with a psychiatrist or primary care provider, we’ll request that you sign a Release of Information (ROI) form, which allows us to communicate directly with these healthcare professionals.
This collaboration is vital for verifying past treatments and assuring proper coordination of care, especially when medication adjustments are necessary.
Through this integrated approach, we can effectively maintain continuity of care during your teen’s stay and develop a detailed plan for post-treatment medication management.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Maintaining a structured and safe environment requires all teens to follow Montville’s essential behavioral guidelines during their stay.
Our rules include attending all scheduled therapy sessions and activities, respecting staff and fellow residents, maintaining personal hygiene, and following our dress code that prohibits disclosing or inappropriate attire.
We don’t allow cell phones or other electronic devices, though supervised phone calls with family are permitted at designated times.
Additionally, we enforce strict policies against violence, theft, or possession of drugs, alcohol, or weapons.
While these guidelines may seem stringent, they’re designed to create a therapeutic environment where teens can focus on their recovery without distractions.
We’ve found that clear boundaries and consistent structure help our clients develop the self-discipline needed for long-term success.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
While the decision to send your teenager to an out-of-state treatment facility isn’t easy, there are several compelling benefits to weigh.
Out-of-state treatment often provides a fresh environment away from negative influences and triggers, allowing teens to focus entirely on their recovery journey without local distractions or pressure from peers.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance can create emotional space for healing, while our specialized programs and 1:1 staff ratio guarantee your teen receives thorough care that may not be available closer to home.
Additionally, the change in location often helps break unhealthy patterns and relationships, as we’ve seen that geographical separation can strengthen family dynamics by providing both teens and parents with necessary perspective and growth opportunities.
How do I get started?
Starting the journey toward teen rehabilitation follows a straightforward process at Montville Adolescent Center. When you’re ready to begin, our admissions team will guide you through a simple, three-step process that typically takes less than an hour to complete.
First, we’ll conduct a brief, 10-minute phone assessment to ascertain our program aligns with your teen’s specific needs.
Next, our team will verify your insurance benefits and discuss any financial considerations, making certain you understand all coverage options and potential costs.
Finally, we’ll schedule an intake appointment at a time that works for your family, where we’ll complete the necessary paperwork and begin your teen’s personalized treatment plan.
Throughout this process, we’re committed to making your experience as smooth and stress-free as possible.
