Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program

At Guardian Recovery’s Montville Adolescent Center, we recognize parents have many questions about their teen’s treatment journey, from insurance coverage and visitation policies to educational continuity and living arrangements.

We’re committed to making the process transparent, with most insurance plans covering treatment costs, weekly family visits permitted during designated hours, and both private and semi-private rooms available for our clients.

Through our extensive family support programs and academic partnerships with local schools, we guarantee your teen maintains educational progress while receiving the specialized care they need for lasting recovery.

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) requires insurance providers to cover essential health benefits, including mental health and substance use disorder treatment, while the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) guarantees fair coverage by preventing insurers from imposing unfavorable limitations on these benefits.

We accept most major insurance plans at Montville Adolescent Center, and we’ll work closely with you to verify your benefits and determine coverage specifics.

Our admissions team can perform a complimentary insurance verification to help you understand exactly what your plan covers and any out-of-pocket expenses you might expect.

If you don’t have insurance coverage, we offer additional payment options and will help you investigate all available financial resources.

Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?

Parents can visit their teens at Montville Adolescent Center during designated hours on Sundays.

To ensure a therapeutic environment and maintain program integrity, we require all visitors to be at least 18 years old and limited to immediate family members or legal guardians.

Before any visitation can occur, our clinical staff will need to review and approve potential visitors, and family members must participate in one of our Family Support Sessions.

These sessions are designed to help families understand the treatment process and learn how to best support their teen’s recovery journey.

Through this structured approach to visitation, we maintain a safe, supportive environment while fostering essential family connections that play a significant role in long-term recovery success.

Do you offer support to family members?

Beyond our structured visitation program, family involvement remains a cornerstone of our treatment approach at Montville Adolescent Center.

We provide extensive family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and ongoing support groups designed to help parents and siblings understand addiction, mental health challenges, and effective communication strategies. Through our family-centric approach, we’re committed to healing not just the teen, but the entire family unit.

Our dedicated Family Support Sessions, which are required before visitation, offer invaluable education about substance use disorders, coping mechanisms, and establishing healthy boundaries.

We also maintain regular communication with families through progress updates, and our clinical team is available to address concerns throughout the treatment journey.

Additionally, we connect families with community resources and support groups that extend beyond their teen’s time in our program.

What educational coordination is offered?

Throughout treatment at Montville Adolescent Center, we maintain strong partnerships with each teen’s home school district to guarantee academic progress continues uninterrupted. Our program dedicates two hours daily to structured academic activities, ensuring students stay on track with their curriculum requirements and attendance credits.

We’ve developed a thorough educational coordination system that includes regular communication with teachers and school administrators, progress monitoring, and customized academic support.

Our staff works diligently to obtain current assignments and coursework from each student’s school, while providing supervised study time and educational assistance.

Additionally, we’ll coordinate with your teen’s school to arrange any necessary accommodations or modifications, ensuring a seamless shift back to their regular academic environment following treatment completion.

Will my teenager have their own room?

At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options for our teen residents. Our thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize comfort, safety, and the therapeutic environment necessary for recovery, with gender-specific housing floors that help maintain appropriate boundaries and promote focused healing.

We understand that having personal space is essential during treatment, which is why we’ve carefully considered room arrangements as part of our thorough care approach.

While private rooms offer maximum privacy for teens who may benefit from individual space, our semi-private accommodations foster peer support and social development under careful supervision.

Both options feature comfortable furnishings and secure storage for personal belongings, ensuring your teenager has a safe, structured environment that supports their recovery journey.

Do you prescribe medications?

When it comes to prescribing medications at Montville Adolescent Center, we prioritize transparency and collaboration with parents and guardians. Before making any changes to existing medications or prescribing new ones, we’ll discuss all options with you to guarantee you’re fully informed and comfortable with the treatment plan.

We encourage families to sign our Release of Information (ROI) form, which allows us to communicate directly with your teen’s current psychiatrist or primary care provider. This open line of communication helps us verify previous treatments and guarantees a cohesive approach to medication management.

After your child’s stay with us, we’ll coordinate with their regular healthcare providers to share any medication adjustments or changes, creating a seamless shift for continued care once they return home.

Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?

Maintaining structure and safety is essential at Montville Adolescent Center, so we enforce clear behavioral guidelines for all teens in our program.

We require our clients to follow a structured daily schedule, attend all therapy sessions and academic classes, and participate actively in group activities. Additionally, we’ve established rules prohibiting physical aggression, possession of contraband items, and inappropriate relationships between clients.

Our teens must respect designated quiet hours, maintain proper hygiene, and keep their living spaces clean and organized.

We’ve also implemented a dress code that promotes modesty and appropriateness, while cell phones and personal electronic devices are restricted to maintain focus on recovery.

Through these guidelines, we create an environment where teens can concentrate on their treatment journey while developing essential life skills and healthy boundaries.

Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?

Sending your teenager to an out-of-state treatment facility offers several key advantages for their recovery journey. The physical distance can create a necessary separation from negative influences and triggers in their home environment, while also providing a fresh start in a new setting where they won’t encounter familiar peers who might jeopardize their progress.

Additionally, out-of-state treatment allows teens to fully focus on their recovery without daily distractions or the temptation to leave treatment prematurely.

We’ve found that this geographical separation often strengthens family dynamics, as both parents and teens learn to communicate more effectively during scheduled visits and therapy sessions.

The structure of our program at Montville Adolescent Center, combined with our serene New Jersey location, creates an ideal environment for teens to develop new perspectives and lasting recovery skills.

How do I get started?

Starting the admissions process at Montville Adolescent Center is straightforward and begins with a simple phone call to our team.

During this initial contact, one of our dedicated admissions counselors will conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment of your teen to confirm we’re the right fit for their needs.

After completing the pre-assessment, we’ll work with you to verify your insurance benefits and discuss payment options that best suit your situation.

Once the financial aspects are addressed, we’ll collaborate with you to arrange a convenient intake time that works for your family’s schedule.

Throughout this process, our experienced team will guide you through any necessary paperwork, answer your questions about the program, and help prepare both you and your teen for the shift into our care.
