Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We realize that parents and families have many questions when seeking treatment for their teenager, from insurance coverage and visitation policies to educational continuity and living arrangements.
Our dedicated team regularly works with parents to explain our thorough insurance verification process, family therapy programs, and academic coordination with local schools, while also detailing our comfortable semi-private and private room options.
Through our family-centered approach, we’re committed to addressing all concerns about your teen’s treatment journey, including our structured Sunday visitation hours, ongoing family support services, and individualized educational planning that prevents academic disruption.
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 requires insurance companies to cover essential health benefits, including mental health and substance use disorder treatment, while the MHPAEA guarantees that coverage limitations for addiction treatment aren’t more restrictive than those for medical care.
We accept most major insurance plans and can help verify your benefits to determine coverage.
Our admissions team will work directly with your insurance provider to maximize your benefits and explain any out-of-pocket costs.
If you don’t have insurance or need additional financial options, we’ll discuss alternative payment arrangements to make sure your teen can access the care they need.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Families often wonder about staying connected with their teens during treatment. At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve established structured visitation protocols that support both recovery and family connections, with designated visiting hours every Sunday for approved family members and guardians who are 18 or older.
We recognize that family involvement is vital to the recovery process, which is why we require visitors to participate in our Family Support Sessions before visitation.
During these sessions, we’ll provide guidance on supporting your teen’s recovery journey and maintaining healthy boundaries. Our clinical staff carefully reviews and approves all potential visitors to guarantee a safe, therapeutic environment.
While we maintain strict visitation policies, we’re committed to helping families stay connected throughout their teen’s treatment journey.
Do you offer support to family members?
Support for family members forms a cornerstone of our extensive treatment approach at Montville Adolescent Center. We recognize that substance use disorders affect 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 structured family therapy sessions that address underlying dynamics, communication patterns, and healing strategies.
Our educational workshops provide essential information about addiction, recovery, and effective parenting techniques. Additionally, we maintain open lines of communication through regular updates on your teen’s progress, and we’ll work closely with you to develop post-treatment planning strategies that support long-term recovery.
Through our family-centered approach, we guarantee that parents and guardians have the tools and resources needed to support their teen’s journey to wellness.
What educational coordination is offered?
Educational coordination at Montville Adolescent Center guarantees thorough academic continuity throughout treatment. We partner directly with each teen’s home school district to secure attendance credits and maintain alignment with their current curriculum, making the eventual shift back to school seamless and stress-free.
Our structured daily schedule includes two dedicated hours of academic instruction and physical education, supported by certified educators who understand the unique challenges our students face.
We’ll coordinate with your teen’s teachers to obtain current assignments, facilitate testing when needed, and provide regular progress updates to both families and school administrators.
Through our extensive academic support system, we’re committed to helping students maintain their educational momentum while focusing on their recovery journey.
Will my teenager have their own room?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options for our teenage residents.
Our comfortable living spaces are thoughtfully designed to provide a safe, nurturing environment that supports recovery and personal growth, with gender-specific housing floors guaranteeing appropriate boundaries and privacy.
We understand that having a personal space is essential during the treatment journey, which is why we’ve created living arrangements that balance individual privacy with opportunities for healthy social interaction.
Each room is carefully maintained and monitored by our staff, while still allowing teenagers to personalize their space within appropriate guidelines.
Whether in private or semi-private accommodations, our 1:1 staff-to-client ratio guarantees that every resident receives the individualized attention and support they need throughout their stay.
Do you prescribe medications?
Maintaining open communication about medication management, our medical team works closely with parents and guardians on all medication decisions.
Before making any changes to existing medications or prescribing new ones, we’ll discuss options thoroughly with you to guarantee you’re fully informed and comfortable with the treatment plan.
If your teen currently works with a psychiatrist or primary care provider, we’ll ask you to sign a Release of Information (ROI) form, which allows us to collaborate effectively with their existing healthcare team.
This coordination is essential for verifying past treatments and guaranteeing seamless communication about any medication adjustments during their stay.
We’ll also share details about medication changes with these providers to support your teen’s continued care after completing our program.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Our structured treatment environment includes clear behavioral expectations and guidelines that help teens develop responsibility and accountability during their recovery journey.
We maintain strict policies regarding prohibited items, including cell phones, electronics, and any substances that could compromise the recovery process. Additionally, we’ve established vital rules about respecting peers and staff, maintaining personal space, following daily schedules, and participating in all therapeutic activities and groups.
To guarantee safety and progress, we require teens to stay within designated areas, attend all meals, complete assigned therapeutic work, and maintain appropriate boundaries with others.
While these rules may seem stringent, they’re designed to create a therapeutic environment where teens can focus entirely on their recovery while developing significant life skills and healthy habits that will serve them well after treatment.
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 important advantages. While the decision to seek treatment away from home can feel overwhelming, physical distance often creates the emotional space needed for genuine healing and transformation.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that removing teens from familiar triggers, negative peer influences, and established patterns helps them focus entirely on their recovery journey.
Out-of-state treatment also provides a fresh environment where teenagers can develop new coping mechanisms without the pressure of local social dynamics.
Additionally, the geographical separation encourages families to engage more intentionally in the therapeutic process through scheduled visits and family therapy sessions, leading to more meaningful interactions and lasting positive changes.
How do I get started?
Starting the admissions process is straightforward and can typically be completed within a day. When you contact our admissions team, we’ll begin with a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment over the phone to verify our program aligns with your teen’s needs and circumstances.
After completing the initial assessment, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and discuss financial arrangements, including any additional payment options that might be necessary.
Once we’ve confirmed these details, we’ll work with you to schedule an intake appointment that accommodates your family’s schedule. During this time, we’ll also provide an extensive list of items your teen should bring, any necessary paperwork for completion, and detailed information about our program structure, including our academic component and family involvement expectations.
What Makes Our Adolescent Substance Use Treatment Program Different?
The unique combination of individualized care and extensive support sets Montville Adolescent Center apart from other teen treatment programs.
