Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize parents have many questions about our teen rehab program, from insurance coverage and visitation policies to educational coordination and living arrangements.
Through our extensive FAQ resources, we provide detailed answers about insurance verification, weekly family visits, academic support with local schools, private and semi-private room options, and our broad family therapy programs.
Our admissions team is always ready to address your specific concerns about treatment, whether they relate to payment options, the therapeutic environment, or how we’ll support your teenager’s continued academic progress while in our care.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers most or all costs associated with teen addiction treatment, thanks to two major healthcare laws. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires insurance providers to cover essential health benefits, including substance use disorder treatment and mental health services.
Additionally, the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) guarantees that coverage for addiction treatment isn’t more restrictive than coverage for medical conditions.
We accept most major insurance plans, and we’ll work directly with your provider to maximize your benefits. To understand your specific coverage, we encourage you to contact our admissions team for a confidential benefits verification.
During this process, we’ll review your plan’s details, including deductibles, copayments, and any pre-authorization requirements, helping you make an informed decision about your teen’s treatment options.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Visiting policies at Montville Adolescent Center allow family members and guardians over 18 to see their teens during designated hours every Sunday.
We recognize the importance of maintaining family connections throughout the recovery process, which is why we’ve established these structured visitation opportunities that support both treatment progress and family bonds.
Before any visits can occur, we require all potential visitors to receive approval from our clinical staff and attend a mandatory Family Support Session.
During this session, we’ll provide essential information about our treatment approach, discuss your teen’s progress, and outline visitation guidelines.
This process ensures that visits remain therapeutic and aligned with your teen’s recovery goals, while also equipping families with the tools they need to effectively support their loved one’s healing journey.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family support forms a cornerstone of our thorough teen recovery program at Montville Adolescent Center. We recognize that addiction affects the entire family system, which is why we’ve developed extensive support services, including weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and support groups for parents and siblings.
Through our family-centric approach, we provide regular updates on your teen’s progress, teach essential coping strategies, and help rebuild family dynamics that may have been strained by substance use.
Our experienced therapists work closely with families to address underlying issues, improve communication patterns, and develop healthy boundaries. Additionally, we offer resources and guidance to help family members understand the recovery process, including educational materials about addiction, mental health, and effective ways to support their loved one’s ongoing recovery journey.
What educational coordination is offered?
Educational coordination at Montville Adolescent Center guarantees your teen won’t fall behind academically during treatment. We work directly with your child’s home school district to confirm proper attendance credits and maintain curriculum alignment throughout their stay.
Our program integrates two dedicated hours of structured academics each day, complemented by physical education activities.
We understand the importance of maintaining educational progress while addressing substance use challenges, which is why we’ve developed strong partnerships with local schools to create seamless curriculum integration.
Our academic support team coordinates with teachers and counselors to obtain assignments, facilitate progress monitoring, and guarantee a smooth change back to regular schooling after treatment completion.
This all-encompassing approach helps students stay on track with their studies while focusing on their recovery journey.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Living arrangements at Montville Adolescent Center include both private and semi-private rooms, with room assignments based on clinical assessment and availability.
Our gender-specific housing floors guarantee appropriate separation and comfort, while our thoughtfully designed living spaces promote a therapeutic environment that supports recovery and personal growth.
We understand that room arrangements play an essential role in your teen’s treatment experience, which is why we carefully consider factors such as age, therapeutic needs, and interpersonal dynamics when making room assignments.
For teens who may benefit from additional privacy due to specific clinical considerations, we’ll prioritize private room placement when available.
In semi-private rooms, we’ve implemented careful matching protocols to guarantee compatibility between roommates, fostering positive peer relationships while maintaining appropriate boundaries.
Do you prescribe medications?
Working closely with our medical team, we assure all medication decisions are made thoughtfully and with full parental involvement.
Prior to making any changes or prescribing new medications, we’ll discuss every aspect of the treatment plan with you, making certain you’re fully informed and comfortable with our approach.
If your teen currently works with a psychiatrist or primary care provider, we’ll need you to complete our Release of Information (ROI) form, which allows us to communicate directly with these healthcare providers during your child’s stay.
This collaborative approach enables us to verify previous treatments and effectively coordinate any medication adjustments for your teen’s ongoing care.
We’ll keep you updated throughout the process and guarantee a seamless shift of medication management when your teen returns home.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Beyond medication management, our teen treatment program maintains clear behavioral guidelines to create a safe, structured environment for recovery.
We require all teens to follow our daily schedule, attend all therapy sessions and academic periods, and participate actively in group activities. In addition, we’ve established essential rules including respect for staff and peers, no physical contact or aggression, proper dress code adherence, and zero tolerance for substance use or possession.
Our teens must also maintain appropriate boundaries, keep their living spaces tidy, and follow our technology guidelines, which limit phone and internet access to designated times.
While these rules may seem strict, they’re designed to help your teen develop responsibility, self-discipline, and healthy habits that will support their long-term recovery journey.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Out-of-state treatment can offer several meaningful advantages for teens struggling with addiction. At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance often creates a beneficial separation from negative peer influences and environmental triggers that may have contributed to substance use.
This geographical change helps teens focus entirely on their recovery journey without local distractions or easy access to former connections.
Additionally, receiving treatment away from home can provide adolescents with a fresh perspective and renewed sense of purpose, while our specialized programs offer therapeutic approaches that mightn’t be available locally.
We’ve observed that this physical separation often strengthens family dynamics, as both teens and parents gain valuable insights during scheduled family therapy sessions, leading to more meaningful interactions and improved communication patterns.
How do I get started?
Getting started with our teen rehabilitation program involves a straightforward three-step process.
First, contact our admissions team, who’ll connect you with a dedicated counselor to conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment of your teen over the phone, ensuring we’re the right fit for their specific needs.
Next, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and discuss payment options, providing you with a clear understanding of coverage and any potential out-of-pocket expenses.
Finally, once we’ve confirmed that our program aligns with your teen’s needs and financial arrangements are in place, we’ll schedule an intake appointment at our Montville Adolescent Center.
Throughout this process, our compassionate team will guide you and answer any questions about our extensive treatment approach, facility amenities, or program structure.
