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 living arrangements.
We’re committed to providing thorough answers about our program’s elements, including our family support services, insurance verification process, academic coordination with local schools, and semi-private room accommodations.
Through our dedicated admissions team and clinical staff, we work closely with families to address concerns, explain our treatment approach, and create a supportive environment where teens can focus on their recovery.
Does insurance cover treatment?
In accordance with federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), insurance providers typically cover most or all costs associated with teen addiction treatment.
We’ll work directly with your insurance company to determine your specific coverage levels for our adolescent programs, which may include detox services, residential treatment, and virtual care options.
The ACA mandates that insurance companies cover essential health benefits, including substance use disorder treatment, while the MHPAEA guarantees that mental health and addiction benefits aren’t limited unfairly.
If you’re unsure about your coverage, we encourage you to contact our admissions team, who can verify your benefits and explain any out-of-pocket expenses.
We also offer additional payment options for families without insurance coverage.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Family involvement plays an essential role in teen recovery, which is why we welcome and encourage visitation at Montville Adolescent Center.
We’ve established designated visiting hours every Sunday, ensuring families can maintain a consistent connection with their teens during treatment.
To maintain a therapeutic environment and ensure safety, we’ve implemented specific visitation guidelines that all families must follow.
Only family members and legal guardians who are at least 18 years old may visit, and all visitors must receive prior approval from our clinical staff.
Additionally, we require family members to participate in a Family Support Session before their first visit, which helps create a more meaningful and supportive visiting experience.
This structured approach allows us to maintain program integrity while fostering the vital family connections that support long-term recovery success.
Do you offer support to family members?
Every aspect of our teen recovery program incorporates extensive family support services, recognizing that healing extends beyond the individual client.
Through our thorough family therapy sessions, we’ll help you understand your teen’s challenges while providing tools to improve communication and rebuild trust. We offer weekly family support groups, educational workshops, and regular progress updates to keep you informed and involved in your child’s recovery journey.
Our family-centric approach includes specialized sessions where we’ll teach you about addiction’s impact on family dynamics, healthy boundary-setting, and effective coping strategies.
Additionally, we’ll work with you to develop a strong aftercare plan, ensuring you’re equipped to support your teen’s continued recovery once they return home, while our clinical team remains available for ongoing consultation and guidance throughout the treatment process.
What educational coordination is offered?
Education remains a top priority during treatment at Montville Adolescent Center. We partner directly with each teen’s home school district to guarantee they stay on track academically while receiving treatment, dedicating two hours daily to structured academic activities and physical education.
Our staff coordinates with school administrators to facilitate attendance credits and maintain curriculum alignment throughout the recovery process.
We understand the importance of preventing academic disruption during treatment, which is why we’ve developed a thorough educational support system.
Through our collaborative approach with local schools, we’re able to provide seamless curriculum integration that allows teens to continue their studies while focusing on recovery.
Once treatment is complete, this coordinated effort guarantees a smoother shift back to their regular academic environment.
Will my teenager have their own room?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options for our teenage residents. Our thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize comfort and safety while maintaining an environment conducive to recovery and personal growth.
We’ve structured our gender-specific housing floors to guarantee appropriate accommodations that respect our clients’ privacy needs.
When assigning rooms, we carefully consider each teen’s individual circumstances, treatment requirements, and therapeutic goals. While private rooms may benefit some clients who need additional space for reflection and emotional processing, our semi-private arrangements can foster peer support and social skill development under careful supervision.
All rooms are regularly monitored by our professional staff, maintaining our commitment to a 1:1 staff-to-client ratio that guarantees ideal care and security throughout our facility.
Do you prescribe medications?
While room arrangements support our teens’ physical comfort, medication management plays a vital role in their treatment journey.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we maintain strict protocols regarding medication prescriptions, ensuring that any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions are thoroughly discussed with parents or guardians before implementation.
We recognize the importance of coordinating care, which is why we ask families to sign a Release of Information form that allows us to communicate directly with their teen’s current psychiatrist or primary care provider.
This collaborative approach enables us to verify previous treatment history and effectively communicate any medication adjustments that may be necessary during and after treatment, ensuring a thorough and well-coordinated care plan for your teenager.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Our teen treatment program maintains clear behavioral expectations and structured guidelines to create a safe, supportive environment for all residents.
We require teens to follow a daily schedule, attend all therapy sessions and academic periods, and participate actively in group activities. Additionally, we’ve established specific rules regarding appropriate dress code, respectful communication with staff and peers, and maintaining personal spaces.
To protect everyone’s recovery journey, we don’t allow cell phones or unauthorized electronic devices, and we closely monitor all forms of communication with individuals outside the facility.
We also enforce strict policies against violence, threats, or possession of prohibited items, while maintaining a zero-tolerance approach to substance use or distribution.
These guidelines, while structured, help create the therapeutic environment necessary for successful treatment and recovery.
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 distinct therapeutic advantages.
At facilities like our Montville Adolescent Center, physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences creates a fresh environment for recovery, while our structured programming helps teens focus entirely on their healing journey.
We’ve found that out-of-state treatment can reduce the likelihood of leaving treatment early, as distance naturally minimizes impulsive decisions to return home.
Additionally, our location, just 45 minutes from Manhattan, offers the perfect balance of accessibility and separation, allowing families to remain involved through our scheduled visitation programs and family therapy sessions while maintaining appropriate therapeutic boundaries.
This combination of distance and structured family involvement often leads to more successful long-term recovery outcomes.
How do I get started?
Taking the first step toward teen addiction treatment is straightforward and can begin today. When you’re ready to investigate treatment options at Montville Adolescent Center, simply call our admissions team to initiate a brief, confidential pre-assessment of your teenager’s needs.
Our dedicated counselors will guide you through a 10-minute phone assessment to guarantee we’re the right fit for your child’s specific situation.
After completing this initial evaluation, we’ll verify your insurance benefits or discuss alternative payment arrangements that work for your family.
Once these preliminary steps are complete, we’ll coordinate a convenient intake time that works with your schedule.
Throughout this process, we’ll answer any questions you have about our program, helping to make your teen’s shift into treatment as smooth as possible.
