Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance coverage helps make addiction treatment accessible and affordable for most families.
We’re pleased to share that regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act require insurance companies to cover mental health and substance use disorder treatment as essential health benefits.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we accept most major insurance plans and work diligently to maximize your benefits.
While coverage varies by plan, insurance typically helps with the costs of detox, residential treatment, and therapy services.
We recognize that managing insurance benefits can be overwhelming, which is why our admissions team will verify your coverage and explain your benefits in detail.
For families without insurance coverage, we’ll discuss alternative payment options to guarantee your teen can access the care they need.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Family connection remains an essential part of the recovery journey at Montville Adolescent Center. We recognize parents want to maintain close contact with their teens during treatment, which is why we’ve established structured visitation opportunities every Sunday during designated hours.
Our visitation policy allows approved family members and guardians who are at least 18 years old to visit their teens.
Before any visits can occur, we require all potential visitors to complete two important steps: receiving approval from our clinical staff and attending a Family Support Session.
These requirements guarantee that visits support your teen’s recovery progress while maintaining the therapeutic environment we’ve carefully cultivated.
Through this balanced approach, we’re able to foster meaningful family connections while preserving the integrity of our treatment program.
Do you offer support to family members?
Support for families forms a cornerstone of our extensive treatment approach at Montville Adolescent Center. We recognize that addiction affects the entire family unit, which is why we’ve developed thorough support services, including weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular progress updates.
Our family support program includes several key components that help parents and guardians guide their teen’s recovery journey. We offer dedicated family therapy sessions that address underlying dynamics, enhance communication, and develop healthy coping strategies for the entire family.
Additionally, we provide educational resources about substance use disorders, mental health, and recovery, ensuring that families grasp their teen’s challenges and how to best support them.
Through our family workshops, we’re committed to equipping families with the tools they need for long-term success.
What educational coordination is offered?
Educational coordination remains a top priority at Montville Adolescent Center, where we actively partner with each teen’s home school district to maintain academic progress during treatment.
Our program dedicates two hours daily to structured academic pursuits, guaranteeing students don’t fall behind while focusing on their recovery.
We’ve established strong relationships with local school districts to facilitate attendance credits and maintain curriculum alignment, making the eventual shift back to regular schooling as seamless as possible.
Our academic coordinators work directly with each student’s teachers and guidance counselors to track assignments, manage coursework, and provide progress updates.
We’ll coordinate with your teen’s school to assure they receive appropriate credit for completed work, and we can facilitate virtual learning options when necessary to keep them on track with their graduation requirements.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Room arrangements at Montville Adolescent Center include both private and semi-private options, though most teens share a room with one other resident of the same gender.
We’ve thoughtfully designed our gender-specific housing floors to create a safe, structured environment that promotes recovery and personal growth.
Our shared living spaces help foster important social skills and peer support, which are vital elements of the therapeutic process, while still maintaining appropriate boundaries and privacy.
For teens who may require additional privacy due to specific clinical needs or circumstances, we do offer a limited number of private rooms, which are assigned based on individual assessment and availability.
In all cases, our rooms are monitored regularly by our attentive staff to guarantee safety and security throughout the treatment program.
Do you prescribe medications?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we maintain strict protocols for prescribing and managing medications during your teen’s treatment.
Before making any changes to existing medications or prescribing new ones, our medical team consults directly with parents or guardians to discuss the treatment plan and obtain necessary approvals.
We’ll work closely with your child’s current psychiatrist or primary care provider, which is why we request that you sign our Release of Information (ROI) form to facilitate seamless communication.
This collaboration allows us to verify your teen’s treatment history and guarantee appropriate medication management throughout their stay.
Additionally, we’ll communicate any medication adjustments or additions to your child’s healthcare providers to support continuity of care after treatment completion.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Teens entering our treatment program must follow clear behavioral guidelines designed to create a safe, supportive environment for recovery.
We enforce rules that include maintaining respect for staff and peers, attending all scheduled therapy sessions and activities, following the structured daily schedule, and refraining from any violent or disruptive behavior.
Additionally, we require teens to participate actively in their treatment, complete assigned therapeutic work, and adhere to our phone and visitation policies.
While in our care, teens must also comply with our dress code, keep their living spaces tidy, and respect designated quiet hours.
These guidelines, while structured, help create the stability and routine that’s essential for successful recovery, teaching valuable life skills that extend well beyond the treatment period.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Beyond local treatment options, sending your teenager to an out-of-state facility like Montville Adolescent Center can provide several meaningful advantages.
Our out-of-state program offers your teen a fresh environment away from negative influences and triggers, while our serene New Jersey setting creates physical and emotional distance from challenging situations at home. We’ve found that this separation often accelerates the healing process, as teens can focus entirely on their recovery without daily reminders of past struggles.
Additionally, our location’s proximity to major metropolitan areas makes us accessible while maintaining therapeutic distance, and we’re particularly well-suited for families from neighboring states who want specialized care.
Through our 1:1 staff-to-client ratio and thorough family therapy program, we guarantee that geographic distance doesn’t compromise family involvement in the recovery journey.
How do I get started?
While considering whether our out-of-state program is right for your teen, you’ll want to know how to begin the enrollment process.
We’ve designed our admission process to be straightforward and efficient, starting with a simple phone call to our admissions team.
During this initial contact, one of our dedicated counselors will conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment of your teen to confirm we’re the best fit for their needs.
Following the assessment, we’ll verify your insurance benefits, if applicable, and discuss payment options that work for your family.
Once these steps are completed, we’ll coordinate a convenient time for intake.
Our admissions team will guide you through any necessary paperwork and provide detailed information about what to bring, helping to make the change as smooth as possible.
