Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that families have many questions about our teen treatment program, including concerns about insurance coverage, visitation policies, family support services, academic coordination, and living arrangements.

Through our thorough approach, we maintain strong partnerships with local schools to guarantee academic continuity, while providing extensive family therapy sessions, support groups, and educational workshops to help parents and guardians actively participate in their teen’s recovery journey.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers most or all costs associated with teen addiction treatment, thanks to two major federal regulations: the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
Under these laws, insurance providers must include coverage for substance use disorder treatment as an essential health benefit, and they can’t impose stricter limitations on addiction treatment than they do for medical care.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we accept most major insurance plans and will work directly with your provider to maximize your coverage. We’re committed to helping families understand their benefits, which is why we offer complimentary insurance verification through our admissions team.
If you’re concerned about coverage, we’ll help you investigate all available payment options, including potential financing solutions, to guarantee your teen gets the care they need.

At Montville Adolescent Center, visiting your teen follows a structured schedule, with designated visitation hours every Sunday.
We recognize the importance of maintaining family connections during treatment, which is why we’ve established clear guidelines to ensure productive and supportive visits for everyone involved.
To participate in visitation, family members and guardians must be at least 18 years old and receive prior approval from our clinical staff.
Additionally, we require visitors to attend a Family Support Session before their first visit, as this helps create a more meaningful and therapeutically beneficial experience.
Through these sessions, we’ll provide you with valuable insights into your teen’s progress and equip you with tools to support their recovery journey.
Our structured visitation policy helps maintain program integrity while fostering essential family connections throughout the treatment process.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family support programs form a cornerstone of our teen rehabilitation approach at Montville Adolescent Center. We recognize that addiction affects the entire family unit, which is why we’ve developed extensive support services, including weekly family therapy sessions and educational workshops.
Our family program helps parents and guardians grasp their teen’s challenges while developing effective communication strategies and boundary-setting skills.
Through our structured family support sessions, we provide regular updates on your teen’s progress, teach coping mechanisms for the entire family, and offer guidance on post-treatment success.

At our facility, we’ll carefully discuss any medication changes or new prescriptions with parents and guardians before implementation, guaranteeing complete transparency in your teen’s treatment journey.
We recognize the importance of coordinating care, which is why we request that families sign our Release of Information (ROI) form if their teen already has a psychiatrist or primary care provider.
With this authorization, we’re able to effectively communicate with your teen’s existing healthcare providers, verify previous treatments, and coordinate any medication adjustments that may be necessary during their stay.
This collaborative approach helps us guarantee seamless continuity of care both during treatment and after your teen returns home.
