Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
At Guardian Recovery’s Montville Adolescent Center, we recognize parents have many questions about our teen treatment program, including concerns about insurance coverage, family visits, educational support, and living arrangements.
We’re pleased to confirm that most insurance plans cover treatment costs, and we offer thorough family support through weekly visits, therapy sessions, and regular updates on your teen’s progress.
Our facility provides both private and semi-private rooms, while maintaining strong academic coordination with your teen’s home school district to guarantee educational continuity throughout their recovery journey.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers all or part of teen addiction treatment costs due to key healthcare regulations.
Two important laws protect families seeking treatment: the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which requires insurance companies to cover essential health benefits including substance use disorder treatment, and the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), which prevents insurers from imposing unfair limitations on addiction and mental health benefits.
We’re here to help you manage the insurance process and understand your coverage.
Our admissions counselors will verify your benefits and explain exactly what your insurance plan covers, including details about deductibles, copays, and out-of-pocket expenses.
If you don’t have insurance, we’ll work with you to investigate alternative payment options that can make treatment accessible for your teen.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Family visits play an essential role in the recovery process at Montville Adolescent Center. We’ve established designated visiting hours every Sunday, allowing parents and guardians to maintain meaningful connections with their teens during treatment.
To guarantee a therapeutic and supportive environment, we maintain specific visitation guidelines that all families must follow. Visitors must be at least 18 years old and be approved family members or legal guardians.
Additionally, we require all visitors to participate in our Family Support Sessions before their first visit, which helps create a more effective support system for the recovering teen.
Our clinical staff carefully reviews and approves all visitors, ensuring that each interaction contributes positively to your teen’s treatment journey while maintaining appropriate boundaries and therapeutic progress.
Do you offer support to family members?
Supporting families throughout their teen’s recovery journey is a cornerstone of our treatment philosophy at Montville Adolescent Center. We provide extensive family support through regular therapy sessions, educational workshops, and ongoing communication about your teen’s progress.
Our family therapy program helps address underlying issues while building stronger relationships and communication skills between parents and teens.
In addition to scheduled family therapy sessions, we offer weekly Family Support Sessions that provide essential education about addiction, mental health, and recovery strategies.
Parents and guardians receive updates from our clinical team, learn effective coping mechanisms, and connect with other families facing similar challenges.
We’re committed to ensuring that families have the tools, knowledge, and support they need to help their teens maintain long-term recovery and create positive family dynamics.
What educational coordination is offered?
Educational coordination at Montville Adolescent Center seamlessly integrates with each teen’s home school district to maintain academic progress during treatment.
We dedicate two hours daily to structured academics, working closely with students’ schools to guarantee attendance credits and curriculum alignment remain on track throughout their stay.
Our thorough academic support includes partnering with teachers and guidance counselors from students’ home districts, facilitating coursework completion, and providing structured study environments that support learning goals.
We’ve designed our program to prevent academic disruption, incorporating both traditional educational activities and physical education into each day’s schedule.
Through careful coordination between our staff and school administrators, we’re able to maintain educational continuity, making the eventual shift back to regular schooling as smooth as possible for our students.
Will my teenager have their own room?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options for teens in treatment. Our thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize comfort, safety, and therapeutic support while maintaining appropriate levels of supervision and structure during the recovery process.
For teens who may benefit from additional privacy or have specific clinical needs, we’re able to provide private room accommodations, while our semi-private rooms offer opportunities for positive peer interaction and community building.
We’ve carefully arranged our gender-specific housing floors to create a nurturing environment that supports healing and personal growth. Each room, whether private or shared, includes essential amenities and is regularly monitored by our professional staff to guarantee your teen’s comfort and security throughout their stay with us.
Do you prescribe medications?
When it comes to prescribing medications, our medical team carefully evaluates each teen’s needs and works closely with parents or guardians throughout the process.
We’ll discuss any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions with you before implementing them, guaranteeing you’re fully informed about your child’s treatment plan.
If your teen currently has a psychiatrist or primary care provider who prescribes medications, we’ll need you to sign a Release of Information (ROI) form.
This allows us to communicate effectively with these healthcare providers during your child’s stay, verify previous treatments, and coordinate any medication adjustments.
This collaborative approach guarantees continuity of care and helps us develop the most effective treatment strategy while keeping you informed every step of the way.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
While medication management plays an important role in treatment, structure and rules form the backbone of our teen rehabilitation program. We maintain specific guidelines to guarantee safety, promote recovery, and create a therapeutic environment where everyone can focus on healing.
Our clients must follow daily schedules, attend all therapy sessions, complete academic work, and participate in group activities.
We’ve established clear expectations about personal conduct, including respect for staff and peers, appropriate dress code, and restrictions on personal electronics.
Additionally, we enforce strict policies regarding contraband items, personal relationships between clients, and communication with individuals outside the facility.
Through these boundaries, we create a structured environment that supports your teen’s journey to recovery while teaching valuable life skills about responsibility and self-discipline.
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. At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences can create a significant reset opportunity, allowing teens to focus entirely on their recovery journey.
The change in environment often reduces the likelihood of leaving treatment early or maintaining contact with peers who may hinder progress.
Additionally, our facility’s location, just 45 minutes from Manhattan, provides the perfect balance of accessibility and separation.
We’ve seen how this geographic shift helps teens develop new perspectives and coping mechanisms without the immediate pressures of their home environment.
For many families, choosing out-of-state care also means access to specialized programs that mightn’t be available locally, ensuring their teen receives the most thorough treatment possible.
How do I get started?
Taking the first step toward teen addiction treatment is straightforward at Montville Adolescent Center. When you reach out to us, our dedicated admissions counselors will conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment over the phone to verify we’re the right fit for your teenager’s specific needs and circumstances.
After completing the initial assessment, we’ll work with you to confirm your insurance benefits and investigate payment options that align with your financial situation.
Once the administrative details are settled, we’ll coordinate a convenient time for your teen’s intake process, where we’ll gather more detailed information and begin developing their personalized treatment plan.
Throughout this process, our experienced staff remains available to address any questions or concerns you may have about our program, facility, or treatment approaches.
