Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that families have many questions when considering teen rehab treatment, which is why we’re committed to providing clear answers about insurance coverage, family involvement, and educational support throughout the recovery journey.
Our program offers extensive family support through regular visitation hours and family therapy sessions, while maintaining academic progress through coordination with your teen’s school district.
From private and semi-private room options to insurance verification assistance, we’re here to address your concerns and help make the treatment process as smooth as possible for both teens and their families.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Thanks to federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), most insurance plans cover teen addiction treatment.
These laws require insurance companies to provide coverage for essential health benefits, including mental health and substance use disorder treatment, without imposing unfair limitations.
We accept most major insurance plans and can help verify your specific coverage for our teen treatment programs.
Our admissions team will work directly with your insurance provider to determine exact benefits and out-of-pocket costs, ensuring you understand the financial aspects before beginning treatment.

Contact us for a confidential benefits check and detailed explanation of coverage options.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Parents and guardians can visit their teens during designated hours on Sundays at our Montville Adolescent Center. 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.
We believe that successful family visits play a significant role in the recovery process, which is why we ask visitors to attend a Family Support Session before spending time with their teen.
During these sessions, we’ll provide guidance on effective communication strategies and update you on your teen’s progress. Additionally, we’ll help you understand how to best support your child’s recovery journey while maintaining appropriate boundaries, as family involvement is a vital component of our comprehensive treatment approach.
Do you offer support to family members?
Understanding that family support is essential for teen recovery, Montville Adolescent Center offers extensive family-focused services through multiple channels.
We provide weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and support groups designed to help parents and siblings understand addiction, mental health challenges, and effective communication strategies. Our family program includes thorough educational resources, regular progress updates, and guidance on post-treatment support.
Additionally, we’ve developed a structured Family Support Session program that’s required before visitation, ensuring families are equipped with the tools needed to support their teen’s recovery journey.
Our clinical team works closely with family members to address concerns, establish healthy boundaries, and create a supportive home environment that promotes long-term success, while our family counselors remain available for consultation throughout the treatment process.
What educational coordination is offered?
Beyond family support, educational progress remains a top priority at Montville Adolescent Center. We partner directly with each client’s home school district to guarantee academic continuity, dedicating two hours daily to structured learning and physical education activities.
Our staff actively coordinates with schools to maintain attendance credits and align coursework with existing curricula.
Through our all-encompassing academic program, we’re committed to preventing any educational setbacks during treatment. We recognize that a successful shift back to school is vital for long-term recovery, which is why we maintain open communication with educational institutions throughout a teen’s stay.
Our structured approach includes regular progress monitoring, curriculum adaptation when needed, and individualized academic support to keep students on track with their educational goals.
Will my teenager have their own room?
At Montville Adolescent Center, teens have access to both private and semi-private room options, with accommodations spread across gender-specific housing floors.
We’ve thoughtfully designed our living spaces to promote comfort, safety, and therapeutic progress while maintaining appropriate supervision and structure throughout our facility.
Our room arrangements are carefully considered as part of each client’s individualized treatment plan, taking into account factors such as clinical recommendations, therapeutic goals, and individual needs.
While we can’t guarantee private rooms for every client, we work diligently to create living arrangements that support recovery and personal growth.
Each floor features comfortable furnishings, secure storage for personal belongings, and dedicated spaces that help our teens feel at home while maintaining the structured environment necessary for successful treatment outcomes.
Do you prescribe medications?
When prescribing medications at Montville Adolescent Center, we follow strict protocols that prioritize communication with parents and guardians. Before making any changes to existing medications or introducing new ones, we’ll thoroughly discuss the options with you to guarantee you’re informed and comfortable with the treatment plan.
If your teen currently works with a psychiatrist or primary care provider, we’ll need you to sign our Release of Information (ROI) form, which enables us to communicate directly with these professionals during your child’s stay.
This collaboration allows us to verify previous treatment history and effectively coordinate any medication adjustments that may be necessary. We’ll also guarantee that your child’s healthcare providers receive detailed updates about any medication changes, helping to maintain continuity of care after your teen completes our program.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Structure and rules form the foundation of our teen rehabilitation program at Montville Adolescent Center. We maintain clear behavioral expectations, including mandatory participation in all therapeutic activities, respect for staff and peers, and adherence to our daily schedule.
Our clients must follow our phone and technology policies, which restrict device usage to designated times, and they’re required to maintain appropriate dress code standards throughout their stay.
Teens in our program must also comply with our zero-tolerance policy for substance use, violence, or inappropriate relationships. We expect full participation in academic sessions, group therapies, and individual counseling appointments, while maintaining proper hygiene and room cleanliness.
During family visits, we require adherence to our visitor protocols, including staying in designated areas and following staff direction regarding appropriate interactions.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Sending your teenager to an out-of-state treatment facility offers several meaningful advantages. Often, physical distance from familiar triggers, negative peer influences, and established patterns can provide the fresh start needed for successful recovery.
We’ve found that teens who travel for treatment can focus more intently on their healing journey without daily reminders of past challenges.
Additionally, out-of-state care typically means reduced access to substances and problematic relationships that may have contributed to the addiction. This separation creates a protective bubble where your teen can develop new coping mechanisms and build healthier habits.
While our Montville Adolescent Center is conveniently located for many New Jersey families, we regularly welcome teens from across the country who benefit from the transformative power of a new environment combined with our extensive treatment approach.
How do I get started?
Taking the first step toward teen addiction treatment is straightforward and begins with a simple phone call to our admissions team.
During this initial contact, our dedicated counselors will conduct a brief 10-minute pre-assessment of your teen to guarantee we’re the right fit for their specific needs and circumstances.
Once the pre-assessment is complete, we’ll move forward with verifying your insurance benefits, if applicable, and discuss any additional payment options that might be necessary.
After completing these preliminary steps, we’ll work with you to arrange a convenient intake time that works best for your family’s schedule.
Our streamlined admission process is designed to minimize stress while ensuring we gather all essential information to provide the most effective, personalized care for your teenager at our Montville Adolescent Center.
