Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that parents and guardians have many questions about our teen rehab program, including concerns about insurance coverage, family involvement, and educational continuity during treatment.
Through our thorough insurance verification process, family support sessions, and academic partnerships with local schools, we’re committed to addressing these essential aspects of your teenager’s recovery journey.
Our facility offers both private and semi-private rooms, maintains regular family visitation hours on Sundays, and provides extensive coordination with your child’s school district to guarantee they stay on track academically while receiving the treatment they need.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers all or part of teen addiction treatment costs, thanks to two key federal regulations.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) mandates that insurance providers must cover essential health benefits, which include both mental health and substance use disorder treatments.
Additionally, the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) guarantees that insurance companies can’t impose unfair limitations on addiction and mental health benefits.
We’ll work directly with your insurance provider to determine your specific coverage levels and any out-of-pocket expenses you may incur.
Our admissions team can verify your benefits and explain your coverage options in detail.
If you don’t have insurance coverage, we offer alternative payment arrangements and can discuss these options with you during your initial consultation.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Beyond understanding the financial aspects of treatment, many parents want to know about staying connected with their child during the recovery process.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve established a structured visitation policy that promotes family involvement while maintaining our therapeutic environment.
We welcome family visits every Sunday during designated hours, though there are specific requirements we’ve put in place to guarantee the safety and effectiveness of our program.
All visitors must be family members or legal guardians who are at least 18 years old, and they’ll need to receive approval from our clinical staff before visiting.
Additionally, we require visitors to participate in a Family Support Session, which helps create a more meaningful and therapeutically beneficial visitation experience for both the teen and their family members.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family support services form a cornerstone of our adolescent treatment program at Montville Adolescent Center. We recognize that addiction affects the entire family system, which is why we offer extensive support through regular family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and weekly progress updates.
Our family-focused approach includes structured visitation opportunities and specialized counseling to help parents and siblings understand their role in the recovery process. Throughout your teen’s treatment, we’ll work closely with your family to address underlying issues, improve communication patterns, and develop healthy coping strategies that support long-term recovery.
Our clinical team provides guidance on establishing appropriate boundaries, rebuilding trust, and creating a supportive home environment, while our family education programs offer practical tools for managing challenges during and after treatment.
What educational coordination is offered?
Educational coordination at Montville Adolescent Center guarantees your teen stays on track academically while receiving treatment.
We actively partner with your child’s home school district to guarantee attendance credits and maintain curriculum alignment, dedicating two hours daily to structured academic pursuits alongside physical education activities.
Our thorough academic support includes direct communication with teachers and school administrators, coordinating assignments and coursework to prevent educational gaps during treatment.
We’ll work closely with your teen’s educators to develop a personalized learning plan that accommodates their recovery journey while meeting academic requirements.
Through our structured approach to education, which includes both individual and group study sessions, we’re committed to facilitating a smooth shift back to regular schooling once treatment is complete.
Will my teenager have their own room?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options for teens in our treatment program.
Our thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize comfort, safety, and therapeutic value while maintaining appropriate supervision and support throughout treatment.
We understand that having personal space is important during the recovery journey, which is why we’ve created living arrangements that balance individual privacy with opportunities for positive peer interaction.
Our gender-specific housing floors guarantee additional comfort and security, while our carefully maintained facilities provide a home-like environment that’s conducive to healing.
When determining room assignments, we take into consideration various factors including therapeutic needs, age appropriateness, and individual circumstances to create the most beneficial living situation for each teen in our care.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medication management at our facility involves close collaboration between our medical team, parents, and existing healthcare providers. When prescribing new medications or adjusting existing ones, we’ll always discuss these changes with parents or guardians before implementation to guarantee complete transparency and agreement with the treatment plan.
We request that families sign our Release of Information (ROI) form if their teen has a current psychiatrist or primary care provider, which allows us to communicate effectively with these professionals during treatment.
This coordination enables us to verify previous treatment protocols and share any medication modifications that may occur during your teen’s stay. By maintaining open lines of communication with your child’s established medical providers, we can guarantee continuity of care and develop the most effective medication strategy for their recovery journey.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Rules and structure form the foundation of our teen rehabilitation program.
We’ve designed our policies to create a therapeutic environment that promotes safety, respect, and recovery for all participants. Our teens must follow basic guidelines, including attending all scheduled therapy sessions, participating in academic studies, respecting staff and peers, maintaining appropriate boundaries, and adhering to our dress code policy.
We don’t allow cell phones or unauthorized electronic devices, as we’ve found these can interfere with the recovery process. Additionally, all communication with family and friends must be approved by our clinical team, and we require teens to participate in daily chores and maintain proper hygiene.
Through these structured expectations, we help adolescents develop responsibility, accountability, and healthy routine-building skills that support their long-term recovery.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
While structure and rules create a strong foundation for recovery at home, choosing an out-of-state treatment facility can offer unique advantages for your teen’s rehabilitation journey.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences often allows teens to focus more completely on their recovery process. The change in environment can create a clear boundary between their past behaviors and their commitment to healing.
Our location, just 45 minutes from Manhattan, provides enough separation while remaining accessible for family therapy sessions and visits.
Additionally, receiving treatment away from home helps reduce the stigma many teens feel about attending rehab, as they won’t encounter peers from their local community during their stay. This privacy often leads to more open participation in group sessions and better treatment outcomes.
How do I get started?
Starting the admissions process at Montville Adolescent Center is straightforward and begins with a simple phone call to our admissions team.
During this initial contact, one of our dedicated counselors will conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment of your teen to confirm we’re the right fit for their needs.
Once the assessment is complete, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and discuss payment options that work best for your family.
After completing these preliminary steps, we’ll schedule a convenient time for your teen’s intake appointment.
Throughout this process, our experienced admissions team will guide you through any necessary paperwork, answer your questions about our programs, and help coordinate your teen’s shift into our care, confirming you feel supported and informed every step of the way.
