Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We acknowledge that parents and guardians have many questions about our teen rehabilitation program, which is why we’ve compiled answers about insurance coverage, visitation policies, family support services, educational coordination, and room arrangements.
Our extensive program accepts most insurance plans and offers regular Sunday visitation hours for approved family members, while maintaining strong partnerships with local schools to guarantee your teen stays on track academically.
Through our family-centric approach, we provide dedicated support services including family therapy sessions, weekly updates, and educational workshops, all while housing teens in private or semi-private rooms within our gender-specific living areas.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Most insurance plans cover the costs of teen addiction treatment, thanks to important healthcare laws like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
These regulations guarantee that insurance providers must include coverage for mental health and substance use disorder treatment as essential health benefits.
We’re committed to working with your insurance company to maximize your coverage for adolescent treatment services.
While every insurance plan is different, we’ll help verify your benefits and explain exactly what’s covered, including detox, residential treatment, and therapeutic services.
If you’re concerned about costs, our admissions team can check your insurance benefits at no charge and discuss additional payment options that might be available to make treatment more accessible for your family.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Visiting your teen during treatment plays an important role in their recovery journey.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve established structured visitation policies that support both family involvement and therapeutic progress, with designated visiting hours every Sunday.
To maintain a safe and supportive environment, we require all visitors to be family members or legal guardians who are at least 18 years old, and they must receive prior approval from our clinical staff.
Before participating in visitation, we require family members to attend one of our Family Support Sessions, which helps create a more meaningful and therapeutically beneficial visit.
Through these carefully managed visits, we’re able to foster essential family connections while maintaining the structure and stability that’s critical to your teen’s recovery process.
Do you offer support to family members?
Beyond scheduled visits, family support forms a core component of our treatment approach at Montville Adolescent Center. We provide thorough family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular progress updates to guarantee parents and guardians remain actively involved in their teen’s recovery journey.
Our family support program includes weekly therapy sessions where families can address underlying issues, improve communication patterns, and develop healthy coping strategies together.
We also offer educational workshops covering topics such as addiction science, behavioral modification techniques, and post-treatment planning, helping families better understand and support their teen’s recovery process.
Additionally, our clinical team maintains consistent communication with families through scheduled updates and progress reports, ensuring everyone stays informed and aligned with treatment goals.
What educational coordination is offered?
In accordance with our commitment to academic continuity, we coordinate extensively with each teen’s home school district to maintain their educational progress during treatment.
Our program includes two hours of dedicated academic time daily, where we guarantee students follow their school’s curriculum requirements while receiving individualized support from our qualified instructors.
We’ll work directly with your teen’s teachers and school administrators to gather assignments, arrange for tests and assessments, and guarantee all completed work meets academic standards.
Through our established partnerships with local school districts, we’ve developed effective systems for tracking credits and maintaining academic momentum.
Additionally, we provide progress reports to both families and schools, guaranteeing transparency throughout the treatment process while helping teens stay on track for graduation and future educational goals.
Will my teenager have their own room?
While our academic program guarantees students maintain their studies, we also prioritize comfortable living arrangements during treatment.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options, arranged on gender-specific housing floors to guarantee safety and comfort for all residents.
Our thoughtfully designed living spaces provide teens with a therapeutic environment that supports their recovery journey. Each room is carefully furnished to create a calming atmosphere, and we maintain strict protocols to guarantee personal space and privacy are respected.
While many of our residents share rooms with one other person, we acknowledge that some situations may require private accommodations, which we can discuss during the admission process based on clinical recommendations and availability.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medical oversight plays an essential role in our teen treatment program, and we carefully manage all medication needs. Before making any changes to existing medications or prescribing new ones, we’ll thoroughly discuss options with parents or guardians to guarantee informed decision-making.
We prioritize clear communication between our medical team and your child’s current healthcare providers.
To maintain continuity of care, we request that parents sign a Release of Information (ROI) form, allowing us to communicate directly with your teen’s psychiatrist or primary care provider.
This collaboration enables us to verify previous treatment protocols and effectively coordinate any medication adjustments during their stay with us. Additionally, this facilitates a smooth shift for post-treatment care, as we’ll communicate all medication changes to your teen’s regular healthcare providers.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Every teen in our program must follow clear behavioral guidelines designed to create a safe, structured, and therapeutic environment.
We require all clients to participate in scheduled activities, maintain appropriate boundaries with peers, and demonstrate respect for staff and fellow residents. Our rules include following the daily schedule, attending all therapy sessions and academic periods, completing assigned tasks, and maintaining proper hygiene and room cleanliness.
Additionally, we prohibit any form of violence, bullying, or inappropriate physical contact between residents, and we don’t allow personal electronic devices during treatment to maintain focus on recovery.
While these guidelines may seem strict, they’re essential for creating the structured environment necessary for successful treatment outcomes and ensuring each teen’s safety and progress in their recovery journey.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Sending your teenager to an out-of-state treatment facility can offer several meaningful advantages for their recovery journey.
We’ve found that physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences often helps teens focus more intently on their recovery process, while also providing a fresh perspective in a new environment.
Additionally, out-of-state treatment can reduce the likelihood of leaving treatment early, as the geographical separation creates a natural barrier against impulsive decisions.
At our New Jersey facility, we welcome teens from across the country, offering them a structured, supportive environment where they can fully immerse themselves in their recovery journey.
The change of scenery, combined with our extensive treatment approach and 1:1 staff-to-client ratio, helps create the ideal conditions for lasting positive change.
How do I get started?
Taking the first step toward teen addiction treatment involves three simple phases.
When you contact our admissions team, we’ll start with a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment over the phone to confirm we grasp the right fit for your teen’s specific needs.
Next, we’ll verify your insurance benefits or discuss alternative payment options to determine coverage and out-of-pocket expenses.
Finally, once we’ve confirmed these details, we’ll schedule your teen’s intake appointment at our Montville Adolescent Center facility.
Throughout this process, our dedicated admissions counselors will guide you, answering any questions you may have about our programs, treatment approaches, or facility amenities.
We recognize this decision isn’t easy, which is why we’ve streamlined our admission process to be as straightforward and supportive as possible.
