Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’re committed to answering your most pressing questions about our teen rehabilitation program, including insurance coverage, family visitation protocols, and educational support services.
We recognize that parents want to know about practical matters, such as whether their teenager will have private accommodations and how family members can participate in the recovery process.
Our experienced admissions team is ready to address these concerns and many others, including questions about insurance verification, our Sunday visitation policy, academic coordination with home schools, and our various room arrangements that prioritize both comfort and safety.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers most or all treatment costs for teen rehabilitation programs, thanks to two major healthcare regulations.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) mandates that insurance providers must cover essential health benefits, including substance use and mental health treatment.
Additionally, the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) guarantees insurers can’t place unfair limitations on addiction and mental health coverage.
While coverage varies by plan, we’ll help you understand your benefits and potential out-of-pocket costs.
Our admissions team works directly with insurance companies to verify coverage and determine what portion of treatment will be covered.
For families without insurance, we offer various payment options to guarantee teens can access the care they need.
Contact us for a confidential benefits check and detailed cost breakdown.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Family connections remain an essential part of teen recovery, which is why we welcome approved visitors every Sunday during designated hours.
We recognize how important it’s for parents and guardians to maintain regular contact with their teens during treatment, while also ensuring a stable therapeutic environment.
To maintain our facility’s safety and therapeutic integrity, we’ve established clear visitation guidelines: visitors must be at least 18 years old, be immediate family members or legal guardians, and receive prior approval from our clinical staff.
Additionally, we require all visitors to participate in a Family Support Session before their first visit, as this helps create a more meaningful and therapeutically beneficial interaction between teens and their loved ones during visitation time.
Do you offer support to family members?
Inclusive family support forms a cornerstone of our teen rehabilitation program. Through our all-encompassing approach, we provide regular family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and ongoing communication to help parents and guardians understand and support their teen’s recovery journey.
We believe that healing happens most effectively when the entire family system is engaged and supported.
Our family support services include weekly family therapy sessions, bi-weekly progress updates from your teen’s treatment team, and educational workshops covering topics such as addiction science, communication skills, and boundary-setting.
Additionally, we provide resources and guidance to help families prepare for their teen’s eventual shift home, ensuring they’ve the tools and understanding needed to maintain recovery progress.
We also connect families with local support groups and continuing care resources within their community.
What educational coordination is offered?
Our thorough academic coordination program guarantees your teen stays on track with their education while receiving treatment.
We actively partner with your child’s home school district to guarantee attendance credits and maintain curriculum alignment throughout their stay at Montville Adolescent Center.
Each day includes two dedicated hours of structured academic activities, where we work closely with teachers to provide individualized instruction and support.
Our educational coordinators communicate regularly with your teen’s school administrators to obtain assignments, facilitate makeup work, and guarantee a seamless shift back to their regular academic environment.
We recognize that maintaining educational progress is vital for your teen’s overall recovery and future success, which is why we’ve integrated academics as a fundamental component of our treatment program.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Most teenagers at Montville Adolescent Center share semi-private rooms with one other patient, though a limited number of private rooms are available.
Our thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize both comfort and safety, with gender-specific housing floors that create an environment conducive to recovery and personal growth.
We’ve carefully structured our room assignments to support each teen’s therapeutic journey, considering factors such as age, treatment needs, and clinical recommendations.
While we recognize that some families may prefer private accommodations, we’ve found that semi-private rooms often provide valuable opportunities for peer support and social skill development, which are essential components of our extensive treatment approach.
Our staff maintains close supervision of all living areas, ensuring a secure and supportive environment throughout our residents’ stay.
Do you prescribe medications?
When it comes to prescribing medications, Montville Adolescent Center follows strict protocols that prioritize communication with families. Before implementing any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions, we’ll thoroughly discuss the plan with parents or guardians to guarantee informed decisions about their teen’s care.
We work closely with your teen’s current healthcare providers, which is why we request a signed Release of Information (ROI) form for any existing psychiatrists or primary care providers.
This collaboration allows us to verify previous treatments and maintain seamless communication about medication management throughout your child’s stay. After treatment, we’ll confirm that all medication adjustments or additions are properly documented and communicated to your teen’s regular healthcare team, supporting a smooth shift back to their usual care providers.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Throughout their stay at Montville Adolescent Center, teens must follow a structured set of rules designed to create a safe, respectful, and therapeutic environment.
We maintain specific guidelines around appropriate behavior, including respectful communication with staff and peers, adherence to daily schedules, and participation in all therapeutic activities. Our clients must follow proper dress code requirements, maintain personal hygiene standards, and keep their living spaces tidy.
Additionally, we’ve established clear boundaries regarding prohibited items and behaviors, such as the use of personal electronic devices, inappropriate physical contact, and disruptive conduct.
While these rules may seem strict, they’re essential for fostering recovery, personal growth, and a supportive community atmosphere.
We’ll thoroughly review all guidelines with families during the admission process to guarantee everyone understands our expectations.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Building on our commitment to structure and safety, sending your teenager to an out-of-state treatment facility can offer several distinct advantages.
We’ve found that physical distance often creates a necessary break from negative peer influences and triggers that may have contributed to substance use, while simultaneously providing a fresh perspective on recovery. The separation allows teens to focus entirely on their healing journey without daily distractions or easy access to former connections.
Additionally, out-of-state treatment can help eliminate the stigma that some teenagers feel when seeking local care, as they’re less likely to encounter peers from their community.
This geographical distance also encourages families to engage more intentionally in the recovery process through scheduled visits and therapy sessions, often leading to more meaningful and structured family healing experiences.
How do I get started?
Beginning the admissions process at Montville Adolescent Center involves a straightforward three-step process.
First, you’ll connect with one of our dedicated admissions counselors, who’ll conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment over the phone to make sure we’re the right fit for your teen. During this conversation, we’ll gather essential information about your child’s specific needs and circumstances.
Next, our team will verify your insurance benefits and discuss any financial considerations, making certain you understand the coverage available for your teen’s treatment. If you don’t have insurance, we’ll examine alternative payment options with you.
