Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that families have many questions when considering teen rehab treatment, including concerns about insurance coverage, visitation policies, family support programs, educational coordination, and living arrangements.
Our thorough teen rehab program accepts most major insurance plans, offers weekly family visitation and therapy sessions, and maintains close partnerships with local schools to guarantee academic progress continues during treatment.
While room arrangements vary between private and semi-private options, every aspect of our program is designed to support your teenager’s recovery journey, from our structured daily schedules to our dedicated family support services.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Thanks to recent healthcare legislation like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), most insurance plans cover all or part of addiction treatment costs.
Under these laws, insurance providers must treat mental health and substance use disorders similarly to other medical conditions, guaranteeing fair coverage for essential treatment services.
We’re pleased to accept most major insurance plans, and our experienced admissions team will work directly with your provider to maximize your coverage benefits.
To understand your specific coverage and potential out-of-pocket expenses, we’ll conduct a thorough insurance verification when you contact us.
If you’re concerned about costs, we’ll also discuss additional payment options and help create a manageable financial plan that guarantees your teen can access the care they need.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
While financial arrangements are important, maintaining family connections during treatment plays an essential role in recovery. At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve established structured visitation protocols that support our teens’ healing journey while ensuring family involvement remains a cornerstone of treatment.
Our visitation policy allows family members and guardians who are 18 or older to visit during designated hours on Sundays, following clinical staff approval and mandatory attendance at a Family Support Session.
We’ve designed these requirements to create a supportive environment that enhances the therapeutic process while maintaining appropriate boundaries. During visits, families can connect with their teens, participate in their recovery journey, and strengthen significant familial bonds that contribute to long-term success in sobriety and emotional well-being.
Do you offer support to family members?
Throughout a teen’s recovery journey, family support and involvement remain integral components of successful treatment at Montville Adolescent Center. We offer extensive family support services, including weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular progress updates to help parents and guardians understand their teen’s recovery process.
Our family program incorporates therapeutic elements that address fundamental family dynamics, communication patterns, and relationship challenges. We provide parents with valuable resources and tools to support their teen’s ongoing recovery, while our experienced counselors guide families through the complexities of addiction and mental health treatment.
Additionally, we offer family support groups where parents can connect with others facing similar challenges, creating a supportive community that extends beyond their teen’s time in treatment.
What educational coordination is offered?
Educational coordination at Montville Adolescent Center guarantees every teen maintains their academic progress during treatment. We actively partner with each student’s home school district to secure attendance credits and curriculum alignment, providing two structured hours of daily academics with certified educators.
Our extensive educational support includes direct communication with teachers and guidance counselors, coordinated assignment completion, and progress monitoring to prevent academic setbacks.
We recognize that maintaining educational momentum is vital for long-term success, which is why we’ve developed strong relationships with local school districts to facilitate seamless shifts.
During their stay, teens receive individualized academic attention in our well-equipped classrooms, where we balance therapeutic needs with educational requirements, assuring they stay on track with their studies while focusing on recovery.
Will my teenager have their own room?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options for our teen residents. Our thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize comfort, safety, and recovery, with gender-specific housing floors that help create an environment conducive to healing and personal growth.
While we can’t guarantee private room availability, as placement depends on current occupancy and individual clinical needs, we work diligently to accommodate room preferences whenever possible.
Each room, whether private or semi-private, is carefully maintained and monitored by our staff to guarantee a secure, therapeutic setting. Our 1:1 staff-to-client ratio allows us to closely supervise all residential areas while respecting our teens’ need for appropriate personal space during their recovery journey.
Do you prescribe medications?
Prescribing medications at our facility involves a careful collaborative process between our medical team, parents, and existing healthcare providers.
We’ll discuss any new medications or changes to current prescriptions with parents or guardians before making adjustments to your teen’s treatment plan. To guarantee seamless coordination of care, we request that you sign a Release of Information (ROI) form, which allows us to communicate directly with your child’s psychiatrist or primary care provider about their medication management.
During your teen’s stay, we’ll verify their previous treatment history and work closely with their established healthcare team to maintain appropriate medication protocols.
When your child shifts back to outpatient care, we’ll communicate any medication changes or additions to their regular providers to guarantee continuity of treatment.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Just as we maintain clear protocols for medication management, our teen rehabilitation program operates with structured guidelines to create a safe, therapeutic environment.
We’ve established clear expectations that include following daily schedules, participating in all therapeutic activities, and maintaining appropriate boundaries with peers and staff.
Our rules prioritize recovery and personal growth, requiring teens to refrain from physical aggression, substance use, or possession of contraband items, while also expecting respectful communication and compliance with medication protocols.
Additionally, we’ve implemented specific guidelines around phone usage, visitation, and personal items to guarantee focus remains on treatment goals.
We’ve found that these structured boundaries, combined with our supportive approach, help create the finest environment for healing and sustainable recovery.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Parents often reveal significant advantages when choosing out-of-state treatment for their teenager’s recovery journey. The physical distance can create a necessary separation from negative influences and triggers in their home environment, while also removing them from peer groups that may have contributed to their substance use.
We’ve found that this geographical change often allows teens to focus more intently on their recovery without local distractions.
Additionally, out-of-state treatment provides an opportunity for a fresh start, where teens can develop new perspectives and coping mechanisms away from familiar pressures.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve seen how this distance can strengthen family dynamics, as both parents and teens learn to communicate more effectively through our structured family therapy programs and scheduled visitation times.
How do I get started?
Taking the first step toward teen addiction treatment is straightforward and compassionate at Montville Adolescent Center. We begin with a simple 10-minute phone assessment, where one of our dedicated admissions counselors will conduct a pre-screening to guarantee we’re the right fit for your teen’s specific needs.
After completing the initial assessment, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and discuss any financial considerations. If you don’t have insurance coverage, we’ll investigate alternative payment options to make treatment accessible.
Once we’ve addressed the administrative aspects, we’ll schedule your teen’s intake appointment, where our clinical team will develop a personalized treatment plan. Throughout this process, we’re committed to making your family’s shift into our program as seamless as possible, with our experienced staff guiding you every step of the way.
