Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that families have many questions about teen rehab treatment, from insurance coverage and visitation policies to educational support and room arrangements.
Our thorough program includes family therapy sessions, coordination with your teen’s school district to maintain academic progress, and both private and semi-private room options to guarantee comfort during treatment.
Through our insurance verification process, visitation program, and educational partnerships, we’re committed to making the treatment journey as smooth as possible for both teens and their families.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance coverage for teen addiction treatment is extensive thanks to federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
We’re committed to helping you understand your coverage options, as these laws require insurance companies to provide thorough benefits for substance use and mental health treatment.
Through the ACA, essential health benefits must include addiction treatment services, while the MHPAEA guarantees that coverage limitations for mental health and substance use disorders aren’t more restrictive than medical benefits.
We accept most major insurance plans and can verify your benefits quickly, helping determine your out-of-pocket costs.
If you don’t have insurance, we’ll work with you to examine alternative payment options, guaranteeing your teen gets the critical care they need.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Staying connected with your teen during treatment is a vital part of their recovery journey at Montville Adolescent Center.
We’ve established structured visitation protocols that occur every Sunday during designated hours, allowing family members and guardians who are 18 or older to spend valuable time with their teens.
To ensure the safety and therapeutic progress of all our clients, we require visitors to complete an approval process through our clinical staff before their first visit.
Additionally, family members must participate in a Family Support Session, which helps create a more meaningful and therapeutic visitation experience.
This requirement enables us to maintain a secure environment while providing opportunities for families to actively engage in their teen’s recovery process, strengthening the foundation for long-term success.
Do you offer support to family members?
Building on our commitment to family involvement through visitation, Montville Adolescent Center provides thorough support services for family members throughout their teen’s recovery journey.
We integrate families into the treatment process through weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and support groups that help parents and siblings understand addiction, mental health, and effective communication strategies.
Our extensive family support program includes regular progress updates from our clinical team, therapeutic family workshops where members learn coping mechanisms together, and dedicated counseling sessions to address family dynamics.
We’ve found that when families actively participate in their teen’s recovery journey, outcomes greatly improve, which is why we emphasize teaching practical skills for maintaining healthy relationships and establishing supportive home environments that promote long-term sobriety and emotional well-being.
What educational coordination is offered?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we consistently prioritize each teen’s academic progress through thorough educational coordination with their home school districts. Our dedicated staff works directly with school administrators to guarantee proper credit transfers and curriculum alignment, allowing students to stay on track with their studies during treatment.
We provide two hours of structured academic time daily, incorporating both traditional coursework and physical education components.
Our collaborative approach includes regular communication with teachers and guidance counselors, maintaining detailed progress reports, and facilitating any necessary accommodations for students with special educational needs.
Additionally, we’re committed to creating individualized academic plans that seamlessly integrate with each teen’s treatment schedule, ensuring that their recovery journey doesn’t compromise their educational goals.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Based on availability, teens in our program may have access to either private or semi-private rooms within our gender-specific housing floors.
We’ve thoughtfully designed our living spaces to create a comfortable, home-like environment that supports our residents’ recovery journey while maintaining appropriate supervision and safety protocols.
Our room arrangements are structured to promote both individual healing and healthy peer interactions, with dedicated floors separated by gender to guarantee privacy and comfort.
While we can’t guarantee private room placement, we carefully consider each teen’s specific needs, clinical recommendations, and therapeutic goals when making room assignments.
Whether in private or semi-private accommodations, all of our residents benefit from 24/7 staff support, structured daily routines, and access to our facility’s full range of therapeutic amenities.
Do you prescribe medications?
The medical team at Montville Adolescent Center carefully manages all medication needs during treatment, with any new prescriptions or medication changes requiring explicit parental approval.
We’ll work closely with your teen’s existing healthcare providers, which is why we request signed Release of Information (ROI) forms to facilitate communication with their psychiatrist or primary care physician.
Our extensive medication management system guarantees continuity of care between your teen’s pre-admission prescriptions and any necessary adjustments during their stay.
We maintain detailed documentation of all medications, dosages, and treatment responses, sharing these updates with parents and authorized healthcare providers.
When planning for discharge, we’ll coordinate with your teen’s regular providers to ensure a smooth changeover and continued medication management after completing our program.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Maintaining structure and safety, Montville Adolescent Center enforces clear behavioral guidelines that all teens must follow during their treatment stay. Our rules include respecting staff and peers, participating in all scheduled activities, maintaining personal hygiene, and following the daily schedule without exception.
We’ve established specific boundaries to create a therapeutic environment, which means we don’t allow cell phones or other electronic devices, inappropriate physical contact, or disruptive behavior.
Additionally, we require teens to keep their living spaces clean, adhere to designated quiet hours, and wear appropriate clothing at all times.
While these rules might seem strict, they’re designed to foster accountability, create routine, and guarantee that every teen in our program has the opportunity to focus on their recovery journey without distractions.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Sending your teenager to an out-of-state treatment facility often provides essential advantages for their recovery journey. By creating physical distance from negative influences and triggers at home, we’ve found that teens can focus more intently on their recovery process without daily distractions or pressures from their usual environment.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve seen how this separation allows adolescents to develop new perspectives and coping mechanisms in a fresh setting, while our structured academic program guarantees they won’t fall behind in their studies.
The change in environment often helps break established patterns of behavior, and we’ve observed that many teens find it easier to open up and engage in therapy when they’re removed from their familiar surroundings.
Additionally, the distance can provide families with an opportunity to reset and rebuild relationships through our guided family therapy sessions.
How do I get started?
Starting your teen’s recovery journey requires just a few simple steps. When you’re ready to begin, our dedicated admissions team will conduct a brief, 10-minute phone assessment to confirm we’re the right fit for your child’s specific needs.
During this conversation, we’ll gather essential information about your teen’s situation and discuss any concerns you may have about the treatment process.
After completing the initial assessment, we’ll work with you to verify your insurance benefits and investigate payment options that best suit your circumstances.
Once the financial aspects are addressed, we’ll coordinate a convenient intake time that works for your family.
Throughout this process, our compassionate staff will guide you through each step, confirming you’re fully informed and comfortable with the decisions being made for your teen’s care.
