Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
At Guardian Recovery’s Montville Adolescent Center, we’re committed to addressing our families’ most pressing questions about teen rehabilitation, including insurance coverage, visitation policies, and educational support during treatment.
Our all-encompassing program offers private and semi-private rooms, weekly family visits during designated hours on Sundays, and seamless coordination with your teen’s school district to guarantee academic progress continues during their stay.
Through our family-centered approach, we maintain regular communication with parents and guardians about their teen’s progress, while our insurance specialists work directly with providers to maximize coverage benefits and minimize out-of-pocket expenses.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Yes, insurance typically covers treatment costs for teen rehabilitation programs, either partially or fully, thanks to federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
At Montville Adolescent Center, we accept most major insurance plans and work closely with providers to maximize your coverage for essential treatment services.
The ACA requires insurance companies to cover mental health and substance use disorder treatment as essential health benefits, while the MHPAEA guarantees that coverage limits for addiction treatment aren’t more restrictive than those for medical care.
We’ll help verify your benefits and explain your coverage options, and if you don’t have insurance, we can discuss alternative payment arrangements.
Our admissions team is ready to provide a complimentary insurance verification and help you understand your financial responsibilities.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Parents and guardians are welcome to visit their teens during designated hours on Sundays at Montville Adolescent Center.
To ensure the safety and therapeutic progress of all our clients, we require visitors to be at least 18 years old and receive approval from our clinical staff before visitation.
We believe that successful family involvement is essential to a teen’s recovery journey, which is why we’ve incorporated mandatory Family Support Sessions into our visitation protocol.
These sessions help families understand their teen’s progress, learn about addiction and recovery, and develop skills to support their loved one’s healing process.
When you arrive for your visit, our staff will guide you through our visitation procedures, ensuring a supportive and structured environment for meaningful family connection.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family support forms a core component of our treatment 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, educational workshops, and support groups for parents and siblings.
Throughout your teen’s treatment journey, we’ll keep you actively involved through regular updates on their progress, while providing you with essential tools and resources to support their recovery at home.
Our family therapy sessions address fundamental relationship dynamics, communication patterns, and conflict resolution strategies, creating a stronger foundation for long-term success. Additionally, we offer family education programs that help you understand addiction, mental health, and effective ways to support your teen during and after treatment.
What educational coordination is offered?
Educational coordination at Montville Adolescent Center guarantees your teen stays on track academically during treatment. We partner directly with your child’s home school district to secure proper attendance credits and maintain curriculum alignment throughout their recovery journey.
Our program dedicates two structured hours daily to academics and physical education, supervised by qualified educational staff.
During your teen’s stay with us, we’ll coordinate with their teachers to obtain current assignments and coursework, helping them stay current with their studies.
Our extensive academic support includes progress monitoring, regular communication with school administrators, and coordinated educational planning.
We recognize the importance of maintaining academic momentum, which is why we’ve designed our program to seamlessly integrate therapeutic treatment with educational continuity, securing a smooth change back to regular schooling post-treatment.
Will my teenager have their own room?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options for teens in treatment. Our thoughtfully designed living spaces promote a safe, comfortable environment where adolescents can focus on their recovery journey while maintaining appropriate levels of privacy and supervision.
We understand that having personal space is important during the treatment process, which is why we’ve configured our facility with gender-specific housing floors that accommodate both individual needs and therapeutic goals.
While some teens benefit from the privacy of their own room, others may thrive in semi-private arrangements that foster peer support and social connection.
Our clinical team works closely with families to determine the most appropriate room assignment based on each teen’s specific circumstances, treatment requirements, and individual comfort level.
Do you prescribe medications?
Managing medications safely and effectively is a core part of our treatment approach. When it comes to prescribing or adjusting medications for your teen, we follow strict protocols that prioritize communication with parents and guardians.
Before making any changes to existing prescriptions or introducing new medications, our medical team will thoroughly discuss the plan with you to guarantee you’re fully informed and comfortable with the decisions.
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 coordinate directly with these healthcare professionals.
This collaborative approach helps us verify previous treatment history and guarantee seamless communication about any medication adjustments, both during your teen’s stay and for their post-treatment care plan.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Structure and rules play an important role in our teen rehabilitation program, helping to create a safe and productive environment for recovery. When your teen enters our facility, they’ll be expected to follow guidelines that promote respect, safety, and personal growth, including attending all scheduled therapy sessions, participating in academic activities, and maintaining appropriate boundaries with peers.
We’ve established clear protocols around phone usage, visitation rights, and personal items, while our zero-tolerance policy for drugs, alcohol, and violence safeguards everyone’s wellbeing.
Additionally, teens must adhere to our daily schedule, which includes structured meal times, therapy sessions, academic periods, and designated quiet hours. By following these essential rules, your teen will develop the discipline and structure necessary for successful long-term recovery.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
While staying local for treatment may seem more convenient, sending your teenager to an out-of-state rehabilitation facility often provides distinct advantages.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance can create a beneficial separation from negative influences and triggers, allowing teens to focus entirely on their recovery journey.
Additionally, out-of-state treatment offers a fresh environment where your teen won’t encounter familiar peers or situations that might compromise their progress.
We’ve also observed that geographic distance often strengthens family dynamics, as scheduled visits become more meaningful and intentional.
Our location, just 45 minutes from Manhattan, provides accessibility while maintaining that essential therapeutic distance, and our thorough family therapy program guarantees you’ll remain actively involved in your teen’s treatment, regardless of physical separation.
How do I get started?
Once you’ve decided to seek treatment for your teen, taking the first step is straightforward.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve designed our admission process to be quick and efficient, beginning with a simple phone call to our dedicated admissions team.
During your initial call, one of our experienced counselors will conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment of your teen to guarantee we’re the best fit for their needs.
After completing this assessment, we’ll verify your insurance benefits, if applicable, and discuss payment options that work for your family.
Once these details are confirmed, we’ll coordinate a convenient time for intake, where we’ll welcome your teen into our supportive community and begin their personalized treatment journey at our facility in Towaco, New Jersey.
