Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that families have many questions about our teen rehab program, from insurance coverage and family visits to educational support and accommodations.
Through our thorough insurance verification process, most families receive significant coverage for treatment costs, while our weekly family therapy sessions, Sunday visitation hours, and educational coordination with home schools guarantee continued support and academic progress.
Our facility offers both private and semi-private rooms, allowing teenagers to maintain appropriate personal space while benefiting from peer support in a structured, therapeutic environment.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Thanks to regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), insurance typically covers all or part of teen addiction treatment costs.
The ACA mandates that insurance providers cover essential health benefits, which include both mental health and substance use disorder treatment services.
We accept most major insurance plans, and our experienced admissions team can help verify your coverage and explain your benefits in detail.
While coverage levels vary by insurance provider and specific plan, many families find that their out-of-pocket expenses are considerably reduced through insurance.
To determine your exact coverage and any potential costs, we’ll conduct a complimentary insurance verification when you contact us, ensuring you understand all financial aspects before beginning treatment.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
During your teen’s treatment at Montville Adolescent Center, family visitation takes place every Sunday during designated hours.
We recognize the importance of maintaining family connections throughout the recovery process, which is why we’ve established clear visitation protocols to ensure a supportive environment for everyone involved.
To maintain safety and therapeutic integrity, we require all visitors to be at least 18 years old and limited to immediate family members or legal guardians.
Before any visits can occur, our clinical staff must approve each visitor, and family members are required to participate in a Family Support Session.
This preparatory session helps create a productive visiting experience that supports your teen’s recovery journey while providing you with valuable insights into their treatment progress.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family support forms a central pillar of our adolescent treatment program at Montville Adolescent Center. We recognize that addiction affects the entire family system, which is why we offer extensive support services, including weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular progress updates to keep parents and guardians informed and involved.
Our family support program includes dedicated Family Support Sessions every Sunday, where families can connect with their teens while learning valuable communication skills and coping strategies.
We also provide resources and counseling to help family members comprehend addiction, recognize enabling behaviors, and develop healthy boundaries.
Throughout treatment, our clinical team works closely with families to address underlying issues, rebuild trust, and create a strong foundation for lasting recovery once their teen returns home.
What educational coordination is offered?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we maintain strong partnerships with each teen’s home school district to guarantee their academic progress continues throughout treatment. Our program dedicates two structured hours daily to academic pursuits, ensuring students don’t fall behind while receiving care.
We’ve developed a thorough educational coordination system that includes direct communication with teachers, careful monitoring of attendance credits, and seamless curriculum integration.
Our staff works closely with each school district to align coursework with their specific requirements, while our structured academic environment provides the support needed for successful learning.
Through this coordinated approach, we’re able to facilitate a smoother shift back to regular schooling once treatment concludes, helping teens maintain their educational momentum while focusing on their recovery journey.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Based on our facility’s layout, teens may be assigned either private or semi-private rooms at Montville Adolescent Center.
We recognize that having comfortable, personal space is essential for recovery and emotional well-being during treatment, which is why we’ve thoughtfully designed our living arrangements to promote both independence and community.
Our gender-specific housing floors guarantee appropriate separation and privacy, while our room assignments take into consideration each client’s specific needs, therapeutic goals, and length of stay.
Whether in private or semi-private accommodations, we maintain our commitment to providing safe, structured environments where teens can focus on their recovery journey.
Each room is carefully monitored and supported by our 1:1 staff-to-client ratio, guaranteeing constant supervision while respecting personal boundaries and dignity.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medical oversight is a cornerstone of our treatment program, and we work closely with licensed physicians who can prescribe medications when clinically appropriate. Before making any medication changes or additions, we’ll discuss these thoroughly with parents or guardians to guarantee informed decision-making and transparency throughout the treatment process.
To maintain continuity of care, we request that families sign a Release of Information (ROI) form if their teen already has a psychiatrist or primary care provider. This authorization allows us to communicate effectively with existing healthcare providers, verify previous treatment protocols, and coordinate any medication adjustments that may be necessary during and after treatment.
Our medical team’s primary goal is to guarantee that any prescribed medications support your teen’s overall treatment plan while maintaining open communication with all involved parties.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Our teen treatment program maintains clear behavioral guidelines and expectations to create a safe, structured environment conducive to recovery. We require all teens to follow our established schedule, including daily medical check-ins, therapy sessions, academic work, and recreational activities.
Additionally, we enforce strict policies regarding appropriate behavior, including respectful communication with staff and peers, maintaining personal boundaries, and adhering to dress code guidelines.
Every teen must participate actively in their treatment program, complete assigned therapeutic work, and follow our zero-tolerance policy for substances or contraband items.
We also maintain specific guidelines about phone and electronic device usage, visitation protocols, and personal item restrictions to guarantee focus remains on recovery. Our clinical team regularly reviews and reinforces these rules to support each teen’s therapeutic progress.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Beyond establishing clear rules and structure, considering out-of-state treatment for your teenager can offer several meaningful advantages.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences often allows teens to focus more intensely on their recovery journey. Additionally, our location just 45 minutes from Manhattan creates a therapeutic “fresh start” environment while remaining easily accessible for family involvement.
The change in setting can help break destructive patterns and relationships that may have contributed to substance use, while our specialized program provides extensive care that mightn’t be available closer to home.
We’ve designed our facility to balance this geographical separation with strong family connections through regular updates, weekend visitations, and our robust family therapy program.
How do I get started?
Taking the first step toward teen addiction treatment is straightforward with our streamlined admissions process. When you contact our admissions team, we’ll guide you through a brief 10-minute pre-assessment over the phone to guarantee our program aligns with your teenager’s needs and circumstances.
After completing the initial assessment, we’ll verify your insurance benefits, if applicable, and discuss payment options to make treatment accessible for your family.
Once we’ve confirmed these details, we’ll work with you to schedule an intake appointment at our Montville Adolescent Center in Towaco, New Jersey.
Throughout this process, our dedicated counselors will answer your questions and address any concerns, making sure you feel confident in your decision to pursue treatment for your teen at our facility.
