Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that families have many questions about our teen rehab program, from insurance coverage and visitation policies to educational support and living arrangements.
Through our dedicated admissions team, we’ll help verify your insurance benefits, explain our Sunday family visits and therapy sessions, and discuss how we coordinate with your teen’s school to maintain academic progress.
As part of our commitment to creating a supportive healing environment, we offer both private and semi-private rooms, while maintaining thorough family support through regular updates, workshops, and therapeutic sessions.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Most insurance plans cover the cost of teen drug and alcohol treatment, thanks to federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
These laws require insurance providers to cover essential health benefits, including mental health and substance use disorder treatment, guaranteeing that families have access to necessary care for their teens.
We accept most major insurance plans, and our admissions team will work directly with your provider to determine your coverage and any out-of-pocket costs.
To understand your specific benefits, we’ll conduct a complimentary insurance verification when you contact us, helping you make an informed decision about your teen’s treatment options.
If you don’t have insurance, we also offer alternative payment arrangements to guarantee your teen can receive the care they need.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Parents naturally want to stay connected with their teens during treatment, which is why our facility maintains structured visitation policies.
We schedule family visits every Sunday during designated hours, ensuring that teens can maintain vital connections while focusing on their recovery journey.
Our visitation guidelines require that all visitors be at least 18 years old and limited to immediate family members or legal guardians who’ve received prior approval from our clinical staff.
To support healthy family dynamics and maximize the therapeutic benefits of these visits, we require family members to participate in a Family Support Session before visiting.
This preparatory session helps create a more meaningful interaction between teens and their loved ones, while ensuring that visits align with each client’s individual treatment goals and progress.
Do you offer support to family members?
Throughout the recovery process, family involvement plays an essential role in achieving positive outcomes for teens struggling with addiction. We provide extensive support to families through our dedicated Family Support Program, which includes weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular progress updates.
Our experienced clinicians work closely with parents and guardians to address family dynamics, improve communication patterns, and develop effective strategies for supporting their teen’s recovery journey.
To strengthen the family unit, we’ve integrated multiple support channels, including our Sunday Family Support Sessions, which are mandatory before visitation, as well as ongoing counseling resources that help families understand addiction, recognize triggers, and build healthy boundaries.
Additionally, we’ll connect you with local support groups and provide resources for continued family healing after your teen completes our program.
What educational coordination is offered?
In accordance with our commitment to academic success, we maintain strong partnerships with local school districts to guarantee teens don’t fall behind during treatment.
We allocate two hours daily for structured academic instruction, working directly with each student’s home school to confirm curriculum alignment and attendance credits.
Our educational coordination includes ongoing communication with teachers and guidance counselors, facilitating homework assignments, and administering tests when necessary.
We’ll work with your teen’s school to develop an individualized academic plan that addresses their specific needs while in treatment.
Additionally, we provide progress reports to both parents and schools, assuring a seamless shift back to regular classes once treatment is complete.
Will my teenager have their own room?
While academic support remains a key part of our program, comfortable living arrangements also play an essential role in recovery success.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options, thoughtfully designed to provide a safe and nurturing environment for our teen residents. Our gender-specific housing floors guarantee appropriate accommodations, while maintaining the structure necessary for effective treatment.
Room assignments are carefully considered based on individual needs, clinical recommendations, and available space, with our 1:1 staff-to-client ratio guaranteeing proper supervision and support throughout the facility.
Each room is intentionally arranged to promote both comfort and recovery, featuring essential amenities while maintaining a therapeutic environment that supports our extensive treatment approach.
Do you prescribe medications?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we maintain strict protocols around medication management and prescribing practices. Before making any changes to existing medications or prescribing new ones, our medical team thoroughly discusses all options with parents or guardians to guarantee informed consent and thorough understanding of the treatment approach.
We encourage families to sign our Release of Information (ROI) form if their teen already has a psychiatrist or primary care provider, as this allows us to coordinate effectively with these healthcare professionals.
Through this collaborative approach, we can verify previous treatments and guarantee seamless communication about medication adjustments during and after the program. Our medical staff carefully documents all medication-related decisions and maintains open lines of communication with families throughout the treatment process.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Our teen residents must follow clear behavioral guidelines designed to create a safe, structured, and therapeutic environment.
These rules include maintaining appropriate boundaries with peers, participating actively in all scheduled therapeutic activities, and following our structured daily schedule without exception.
We’ve established strict policies regarding prohibited items, including cell phones, outside food or drinks, and any substances that could compromise recovery.
Additionally, we require respectful behavior toward staff and other residents, proper hygiene maintenance, and completion of assigned academic work.
During treatment, we expect teens to engage meaningfully in group sessions, complete therapeutic assignments, and adhere to our dress code policy, which promotes modesty and comfort.
Parents can review our complete list of guidelines during the admission process.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Sending your teenager to an out-of-state treatment facility offers three key advantages for their recovery journey.
First, physical distance from triggering environments and negative peer influences creates a clean slate for recovery, allowing them to focus entirely on their healing process.
Second, the separation often reduces opportunities for leaving treatment prematurely, as the geographical barrier makes it more challenging to act on impulses to return home.
Finally, out-of-state treatment provides a fresh perspective and new social connections, which can be particularly beneficial for teens who’ve developed unhealthy relationships in their home environment.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that this physical separation, combined with our extensive treatment approach, helps teens build stronger foundations for lasting recovery while maintaining essential family connections through our structured visitation program.
How do I get started?
Whether you’re ready to examine treatment options locally or out-of-state, starting the admissions process at Montville Adolescent Center is straightforward and efficient.
Our dedicated admissions team will guide you through a brief, 10-minute phone assessment to guarantee we’re the right fit for your teen’s specific needs.
After completing the initial assessment, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and investigate payment options that work best for your family’s situation.
Once the financial aspects are addressed, we’ll schedule an intake appointment at a time that’s convenient for you.
During this process, we’ll also provide a detailed list of items your teen should bring, explain our visitor policies, and answer any additional questions you might’ve about our programs, therapy approaches, or daily schedules.
