Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
At our 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 services.
We’re committed to making the treatment process transparent, with most insurance plans covering all or part of our thorough programs, weekly family visits during designated hours, and seamless academic coordination with your teen’s home school district.
Our facility offers both private and semi-private rooms, while our dedicated staff maintains constant communication with families throughout treatment, ensuring everyone stays informed and supported during this significant time of healing.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Based on federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), insurance typically covers all or part of teen addiction treatment costs.
The ACA requires insurance providers to cover essential health benefits, including substance use disorder treatment and mental health services, while the MHPAEA guarantees that coverage limitations for addiction treatment aren’t more restrictive than those for medical care.
We accept most major insurance plans at Montville Adolescent Center, and our admissions team can help verify your benefits to determine coverage specifics.
Even if you don’t have insurance, we’ll work with you to investigate alternative payment options. To understand your coverage and potential out-of-pocket costs, we encourage you to contact our admissions counselors for a free, confidential insurance verification.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Parents can visit their teens at Montville Adolescent Center during designated hours every Sunday.
We recognize the importance of maintaining family connections during treatment, which is why we’ve established a structured visitation program that supports our therapeutic goals while keeping families connected.
To guarantee the safety and therapeutic integrity of our program, we require all visitors to be family members or legal guardians who are at least 18 years old.
Before any visits can occur, we ask that visitors receive approval from our clinical staff and participate in a mandatory Family Support Session.
This preparation helps create meaningful interactions that support your teen’s recovery journey.
During these sessions, we’ll provide guidance on productive communication strategies and update you on your teen’s progress in treatment.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family involvement forms an essential part of our teen recovery program at Montville Adolescent Center. We provide extensive support services for families, including weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular progress updates to keep parents actively engaged in their teen’s recovery journey.
Our family support program helps parents and guardians understand addiction, develop effective communication strategies, and learn how to create a supportive home environment.

Additionally, we offer parent support groups where families can connect with others facing similar challenges, share experiences, and learn valuable coping skills.
Our clinical team remains available to answer questions and provide guidance throughout your teen’s treatment journey.
What educational coordination is offered?
Educational success remains central to our teen treatment program at Montville Adolescent Center.
We’ve established strong partnerships with local school districts to guarantee your teen stays on track academically during treatment, providing two dedicated hours of structured learning each day while coordinating closely with their home school for curriculum alignment and attendance credits.
Our academic coordination includes working directly with your teen’s teachers and school administrators to maintain educational continuity, making certain they won’t fall behind their peers.

At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options for our teen residents. Our thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize comfort and safety while promoting a therapeutic environment that supports recovery and personal growth.
We understand that having appropriate personal space is essential for teenagers during treatment, which is why we’ve structured our facility with gender-specific housing floors.
Each room is carefully furnished to create a comfortable, home-like atmosphere where teens can feel secure and maintain their dignity throughout their stay.
While we encourage healthy social interaction during therapeutic and recreational activities, we recognize the importance of providing private spaces where our residents can reflect, study, and process their recovery journey in a peaceful setting.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medication management plays an essential role in our thorough treatment approach.
We recognize that parents need to be fully informed about their teen’s medical care, which is why we discuss any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions with parents and guardians before implementation.
If your teen currently works with a psychiatrist or primary care provider, we’ll ask you to sign a Release of Information (ROI) form, allowing us to communicate directly with these healthcare professionals during your child’s stay.
This collaboration guarantees we can verify previous treatment details and effectively communicate any medication adjustments for post-treatment care.
We maintain strict oversight of all prescribed medications while prioritizing transparency with families throughout the treatment process.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Throughout their stay at Montville Adolescent Center, teens must follow a structured set of rules designed to guarantee safety, promote recovery, and foster a supportive therapeutic environment.
These guidelines include maintaining respect for staff and peers, participating actively in all scheduled therapeutic activities and groups, and adhering to our strict no-contraband policy. We’ve established clear expectations around appropriate dress code, personal boundaries, and behavior during both structured and unstructured time.
Our teens must follow their daily schedule, which includes medical check-ins, academic work, therapy sessions, and recreational activities.
Additionally, we enforce rules about communication with outside contacts, including supervised phone calls and restricted internet access, to guarantee focus on recovery.
While these guidelines may seem strict, they’re essential for creating the stable, therapeutic environment necessary for successful treatment outcomes.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Choosing out-of-state treatment for your teenager offers several meaningful advantages. When teens receive care away from their familiar environment, they’re removed from negative influences and triggering situations that may have contributed to their substance use.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that this physical distance often allows adolescents to focus more intensively on their recovery journey.
Additionally, out-of-state treatment provides a fresh start where teens can develop new perspectives and coping strategies without the pressure of local peer dynamics.
While we’re conveniently located just 45 minutes from Manhattan, our serene New Jersey setting offers the perfect balance of accessibility and separation.
Our 1:1 staff-to-client ratio guarantees your teen receives personalized attention, while our extensive program integrates academics, therapy, and family involvement for ideal treatment outcomes.
How do I get started?
Starting treatment for your teen is a straightforward process that begins with a simple phone call to our admissions team.
When you reach out, our dedicated counselors will conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment over the phone to guarantee we’re the right fit for your child’s specific needs and circumstances.
Once we’ve completed the initial assessment, we’ll work with you to verify your insurance benefits and investigate payment options that align with your financial situation.
After addressing any questions or concerns you might’ve about our program, we’ll coordinate a convenient time for your teen’s intake at our Montville Adolescent Center.
Throughout this process, we’re committed to making the admission experience as smooth and stress-free as possible, while guaranteeing your teen receives the specialized care they need.
