Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
As parents investigate treatment options for their teens, we recognize there are many pressing questions about insurance coverage, family involvement, and daily life during the recovery journey.
While most insurance plans cover treatment costs thanks to federal regulations, we also offer extensive family support through regular visitation hours, family therapy sessions, and ongoing communication about your teen’s progress.
In addition, we maintain educational continuity through partnerships with local schools, provide comfortable semi-private or private rooms, and guarantee a structured environment that promotes healing and personal growth.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers all or part of teen addiction treatment costs, thanks to two key regulations – the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
Under the ACA, insurance providers must cover essential health benefits, which include mental health and substance use disorder treatments as mandatory components of their coverage plans.
The MHPAEA further strengthens these protections by guaranteeing that insurance companies can’t impose stricter limitations on addiction and mental health benefits compared to medical benefits.
We’ll work with your insurance provider to determine your specific coverage levels, and if you don’t have insurance, we can discuss alternative payment options to guarantee your teen receives the necessary care.
Our admissions team is ready to verify your benefits and explain your coverage details.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Yes, you can visit your teen during their treatment at our facility. We recognize how significant family connection is during the recovery process, which is why we’ve established designated visiting hours every Sunday for approved family members and guardians who are 18 or older.
Before you can visit, there are two important requirements we need to ensure the safety and therapeutic progress of all our clients.
First, our clinical staff must review and approve all potential visitors through our screening process.
Second, family members and guardians must participate in one of our Family Support Sessions, where we’ll provide guidance on supporting your teen’s recovery journey.
We’ve designed these protocols to create a supportive environment that maintains the integrity of our treatment program while fostering crucial family connections.
Do you offer support to family members?
Recognizing the essential role of family support, we provide extensive resources and programs to help families guide their teen’s recovery journey. Through our thorough family therapy sessions, parents and guardians learn effective communication strategies, boundary-setting techniques, and ways to rebuild trust within the family unit.
We’ve developed a multi-faceted approach that includes weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and support groups where families can connect with others facing similar challenges.
Our clinical team regularly updates parents on their teen’s progress, while our family education program helps relatives understand addiction, mental health, and the recovery process.
Additionally, we offer post-treatment planning sessions to guarantee families have the tools and resources needed to maintain recovery momentum after their teen returns home.
What educational coordination is offered?
Throughout treatment, our dedicated academic coordinators work closely with each teen’s home school district to maintain educational progress. We guarantee seamless curriculum alignment and attendance credits through daily structured academic sessions, which include two hours of focused educational activities and physical education components.
Our extensive educational support includes coordinating with teachers, tracking assignments, and facilitating make-up work to prevent academic gaps.
We recognize that maintaining scholastic progress is essential for a successful recovery journey, which is why we’ve integrated education as a fundamental component of our program. Our structured approach allows teens to stay on track with their studies while receiving treatment, making the eventual shift back to their regular school environment much smoother and less stressful.
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 a therapeutic environment that supports recovery and personal growth during treatment.
We’ve structured our facility with gender-specific housing floors to guarantee appropriate boundaries and privacy for all residents.
Each room is carefully furnished to create a comfortable, home-like atmosphere while maintaining the necessary clinical standards for treatment.
While we can’t assure private room placement, we’ll work with families to accommodate specific needs and preferences whenever possible, taking into consideration factors such as medical requirements, length of stay, and therapeutic recommendations from our clinical team.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medication management is a carefully coordinated process at Montville Adolescent Center. Before making any changes to your teen’s medications or prescribing new ones, our medical team thoroughly discusses all options with parents or guardians, ensuring you’re fully informed and comfortable with the treatment plan.
If your teenager currently works with a psychiatrist or primary care provider, we’ll need a signed Release of Information (ROI) form to communicate effectively with these professionals during your child’s stay.
This collaboration allows us to verify previous treatments and coordinate any medication adjustments for the best care. We’ll keep your teen’s existing healthcare providers updated about medication changes, which helps create a seamless shift when your child returns to their regular care team after completing our program.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Our teen treatment program maintains essential rules to create a safe, structured, and therapeutic environment for all residents.
We’ve established clear guidelines that include mandatory participation in all scheduled activities, respect for staff and peers, and strict adherence to our no-contraband policy. Additionally, we require residents to follow designated wake-up and bedtime schedules, maintain proper hygiene, and keep their living spaces clean and organized.
Since treatment success relies heavily on focus and engagement, we don’t allow personal electronic devices, and we carefully monitor all communication with the outside world.
During their stay, teens must wear appropriate attire, use respectful language, and follow our structured daily schedule, which includes therapy sessions, academic work, and recreational activities.
These rules help create the stability and structure necessary for effective recovery.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Sending teens to out-of-state treatment facilities can offer several key advantages for their recovery journey.
The physical distance from negative influences, such as problematic peer groups or environmental triggers, creates a fresh start that’s conducive to healing and personal growth. We’ve found that out-of-state treatment often helps reduce the risk of leaving treatment prematurely, as the geographical separation makes it more difficult to act on impulses to leave the program.
Additionally, traveling for treatment can provide enhanced privacy and confidentiality, allowing teens to focus entirely on their recovery without concerns about running into acquaintances from their local community.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’re conveniently located near major metropolitan areas while still maintaining the peaceful, distraction-free environment that’s essential for successful adolescent rehabilitation.
How do I get started?
Getting started with teen rehabilitation at Montville Adolescent Center involves a straightforward three-step process.
First, you’ll speak with our admissions team, who’ll conduct a brief 10-minute pre-assessment over the phone to guarantee we’re the right fit for your teenager’s specific needs.
Next, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and discuss payment options, providing you with a clear understanding of coverage and any potential out-of-pocket expenses.
