Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
At Guardian Recovery’s Montville Adolescent Center, we recognize parents have many questions about their teenager’s treatment journey, from insurance coverage and family visits to educational continuity and living arrangements.
We’re committed to providing thorough answers about our programs, including our supportive family therapy sessions, academic coordination with home schools, and both private and semi-private room options.
Our dedicated team works closely with families to address concerns about insurance benefits, weekly Sunday visitation protocols, and the various support services we offer to both teens and their loved ones throughout the recovery process.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Thanks to federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), insurance typically covers most or all of the costs associated with teen addiction treatment.
We work with most major insurance providers to guarantee your teen receives the care they need, and we’ll help verify your benefits before beginning treatment.
Through the ACA’s essential health benefits requirement, insurance companies must provide coverage for mental health and substance use disorder treatment, while the MHPAEA guarantees that these benefits aren’t subject to unfair limitations.
Our admissions team will gladly check your specific insurance coverage and explain any out-of-pocket costs you might incur.
If you don’t have insurance, we’ll discuss alternative payment options to make treatment accessible for your family.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Parents and guardians can visit their teens during designated hours on Sundays at Montville Adolescent Center.
To guarantee the safety and therapeutic integrity of our program, we require all visitors to be at least 18 years old and receive prior approval from our clinical staff.
We’ve found that structured family involvement greatly enhances our teens’ recovery journey, which is why we’ve integrated Family Support Sessions into our visitation protocol.
These sessions, which visitors must attend before seeing their teens, provide valuable insights into the treatment process and offer guidance on supporting their loved one’s recovery.
We’ll work with you to coordinate these important family connections while maintaining the structured environment that’s essential for your teen’s healing process.
Do you offer support to family members?
Beyond our weekly family visitation program, Montville Adolescent Center provides extensive support services for families throughout their teen’s recovery journey.
We recognize that addiction affects the entire family system, which is why we’ve developed thorough family support programs, including weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and support groups.
Our family program components incorporate essential elements such as parent education about substance use disorders, communication skills training, and strategies for setting healthy boundaries.
We’re committed to helping families heal together through our structured family therapy sessions, where parents and siblings can work through challenges with their teen in a safe, therapeutic environment.
Additionally, we provide ongoing resources and referrals to community support groups, ensuring families have continued guidance even after their teen completes treatment.
What educational coordination is offered?
Working closely with local school districts, our educational coordination program assures students maintain their academic progress while in treatment.
We dedicate two hours daily to structured academic activities, guaranteeing our clients stay on track with their studies and receive attendance credits that transfer back to their home schools.
Our educational support team actively collaborates with each student’s teachers and guidance counselors to align coursework with their school’s curriculum requirements.
We’ve designed our program to facilitate a seamless shift back to regular classes after treatment, and we’ll coordinate with your teen’s school to confirm all completed work counts toward their academic progress.
During their stay, students receive individualized attention through our 1:1 staff-to-client ratio, helping them manage both their recovery and educational goals effectively.
Will my teenager have their own room?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options for teens in our residential program. Our thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize comfort, safety, and recovery-focused environments that help adolescents feel secure during their treatment journey.
In our gender-specific housing floors, we’ve created living arrangements that balance personal space with opportunities for therapeutic interaction.
While private rooms offer additional privacy for teens who may benefit from more solitude during their recovery process, our semi-private rooms foster peer support and social development under careful supervision.
Each room is furnished with essential amenities and designed to create a home-like atmosphere, ensuring our clients have a comfortable space to rest, reflect, and focus on their recovery goals.
Do you prescribe medications?
While providing comfortable living spaces is important for recovery, medication management plays a key role in many teens’ treatment plans.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we discuss any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions with parents and guardians before implementation, ensuring complete transparency in your child’s care.
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 communicate effectively with these professionals during your child’s stay.
This collaboration enables us to verify previous treatment history and coordinate any medication adjustments for post-treatment care, creating a seamless continuum of care that supports your teen’s recovery journey.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
A structured environment with clear rules and expectations is essential for successful teen rehabilitation. At Montville Adolescent Center, we maintain a therapeutic environment through clear guidelines that help teens develop responsibility and accountability during their recovery journey.
Our teens must follow a structured daily schedule, attend all therapy sessions and academic classes, participate actively in group activities, and maintain appropriate boundaries with peers.
We don’t allow cell phones or unauthorized electronic devices, and we require respectful behavior toward staff and other residents. While these rules may seem strict, they’re designed to create a safe, focused environment where healing can occur.
We’ve found that teens who understand and embrace these guidelines typically experience more successful treatment outcomes and develop valuable life skills that serve them well after completing our program.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Sending your teenager to an out-of-state treatment facility like Montville Adolescent Center can offer several important advantages.
We’ve found that physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences often creates a fresh environment for recovery, allowing teens to focus entirely on their healing journey. Additionally, our location just 45 minutes from Manhattan provides the perfect balance of accessibility and separation.
At our New Jersey facility, we’ve designed our program to help teens build new, healthy relationships while breaking free from destructive patterns back home.
Our tranquil setting, combined with our thorough academic program, guarantees that your child won’t fall behind in school while receiving treatment.
We’re also experienced in coordinating with out-of-state families, providing regular updates and incorporating them into our family therapy sessions through various communication options.

Starting treatment at Montville Adolescent Center involves a straightforward three-step process.
First, you’ll connect with our admissions team, who’ll guide you through a brief 10-minute pre-assessment to guarantee we’re the right fit for your teen’s specific needs and circumstances.
Next, we’ll work with you to verify your insurance benefits and discuss payment options, providing a clear understanding of coverage and any potential out-of-pocket expenses.
Finally, once we’ve completed these initial steps, we’ll schedule your teen’s intake appointment at our Towaco, New Jersey facility, where our specialized staff will begin developing a personalized treatment plan.
