Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
Understanding the logistics of your teen’s treatment journey often brings up many important questions, and we’re here to address your concerns about insurance coverage, visitation policies, family support, education continuity, and accommodation arrangements.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we accept most major insurance plans, maintain structured Sunday visiting hours for approved family members, and provide extensive family therapy sessions to support your entire family unit throughout the recovery process.
Our facility offers both private and semi-private rooms, and we work directly with your teen’s school to guarantee academic progress continues seamlessly during their stay through our dedicated two-hour daily educational program.
Does insurance cover treatment?
While seeking treatment for a teen can feel overwhelming, insurance typically covers all or part of adolescent rehabilitation costs thanks to key healthcare regulations. Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), insurance providers must cover essential health benefits, including mental health and substance use disorder treatment.
The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) guarantees equal access to addiction and mental health benefits without unfair limitations.
We’ve found that most insurance plans provide coverage for our teen rehabilitation programs, though specific coverage levels vary by provider and plan type. Our experienced admissions team will verify your benefits and explain exactly what’s covered, including detox services, residential treatment, and therapeutic programs.
If you don’t have insurance coverage, we’ll work with you to investigate alternative payment options that make treatment accessible for your teen.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Family involvement and support play an essential role in a teen’s recovery journey. At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve established structured visitation opportunities every Sunday during designated hours to help maintain these vital family connections while ensuring treatment progress isn’t disrupted.
To maintain a safe and therapeutic environment, we’ve implemented specific guidelines for visitation. Only family members and legal guardians who are 18 years or older may visit, and all visitors must receive prior approval from our clinical staff.
Additionally, we require visitors to participate in a Family Support Session before their first visit, which helps create an understanding of the treatment process and promotes constructive interactions.
Through these carefully managed visitation policies, we’re able to facilitate meaningful family connections while maintaining the structure and safety essential for successful recovery.
Do you offer support to family members?
The thorough family support system at Montville Adolescent Center recognizes that addiction affects the entire family unit. We offer extensive support through our dedicated Family Support Sessions, where parents and guardians can learn about addiction, treatment approaches, and effective communication strategies.
In addition to regular updates about your teen’s progress, we provide specialized family therapy sessions that address underlying family dynamics and establish healthy boundaries.
Our program includes educational workshops that help family members understand the recovery process, while also teaching crucial coping skills and relapse prevention strategies.
We’re committed to ensuring that families receive the tools and resources they need, including connection to support groups and ongoing counseling options, to create a strong foundation for their teen’s long-term recovery success.
What educational coordination is offered?
Academic progress remains a top priority during your teen’s treatment at Montville Adolescent Center. We work closely with your child’s home school district to maintain educational continuity, ensuring they receive attendance credits and stay aligned with their curriculum requirements.
Our program includes two structured hours of daily academics, integrated seamlessly into their treatment schedule.
Through our partnerships with local schools, we’re able to coordinate assignments, tests, and coursework to prevent your teen from falling behind. Our dedicated academic support staff maintains regular communication with teachers and guidance counselors, facilitating a smooth shift both into treatment and back to regular schooling.
We recognize that education is essential for your teen’s future, which is why we’ve developed a thorough system that balances recovery needs with academic goals.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Private and semi-private rooms are available at Montville Adolescent Center, with room assignments carefully determined based on clinical recommendations and individual needs.
We acknowledge that personal space plays an essential role in the recovery process, which is why we’ve designed our facility with both shared and individual accommodation options.
Our gender-specific housing floors guarantee appropriate separation and comfort, while our thoughtfully arranged living spaces promote a safe, therapeutic environment.
When determining room assignments, we consider multiple factors, including treatment requirements, clinical assessments, and individual circumstances of each teen.
While we can’t guarantee private rooms for everyone, we work diligently to create living arrangements that support our clients’ recovery journey, maintaining a balance between privacy needs and the benefits of peer support within our structured treatment setting.
Do you prescribe medications?
When prescribing medications at Montville Adolescent Center, we follow strict protocols that prioritize communication with parents and guardians.
Any changes or additions to your teen’s medication regimen will be thoroughly discussed with you before implementation, confirming you’re fully informed and comfortable with the treatment plan.
For teens who already have an established psychiatrist or primary care provider, we’ll need a signed Release of Information (ROI) form to facilitate communication with these healthcare professionals.
This collaborative approach allows us to verify your teen’s treatment history and effectively communicate any medication adjustments that occur during their stay with us.
Through this coordinated care system, we can guarantee a smooth shift and continuity of care when your teen returns home from treatment.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Beyond our medication protocols, structure and rules form the backbone of our teen treatment program. We maintain strict guidelines to guarantee safety, promote recovery, and create a therapeutic environment where every teen can thrive.
Our residents must follow daily schedules, attend all therapy sessions and academic classes, participate actively in group activities, and maintain appropriate boundaries with peers.
We enforce a zero-tolerance policy for drugs, alcohol, violence, and inappropriate behavior, while requiring teens to keep their living spaces clean and organized.
Additionally, we regulate phone calls and visitation to minimize outside distractions during treatment, and we monitor all communication to guarantee it supports recovery goals.
These rules, while structured, help create the stability and routine that’s essential for successful rehabilitation and personal growth.
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 for their recovery journey. The physical distance can create a beneficial separation from negative influences and triggers in their home environment, while also providing a fresh start in their recovery process.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that teens who travel from other states often experience enhanced focus on their treatment, as they’re removed from local peer pressures and familiar patterns of behavior.
Additionally, receiving treatment away from home can help protect your teen’s privacy and reduce concerns about stigma within their local community.
We’ve also observed that the change in environment often leads to increased personal growth, as teens develop new perspectives and coping strategies away from their usual surroundings.
How do I get started?
Taking the first step toward teen rehab doesn’t have to be complicated. At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve streamlined our admission process to make it as straightforward as possible for families seeking help for their teenagers struggling with substance use.
The process begins with a simple phone call to our admissions team, where one of our dedicated counselors will conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment of your teen to guarantee we’re the right fit for their needs.
After completing this initial evaluation, we’ll verify your insurance benefits, if applicable, and discuss any additional payment options that might be necessary.
Once these preliminary steps are complete, we’ll work with you to arrange a convenient intake time, allowing us to begin your teen’s journey toward recovery as quickly and efficiently as possible.
