Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that families have many questions when considering teen rehab treatment, from insurance coverage and visitation policies to educational continuity and living arrangements.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’re committed to providing extensive support through family therapy sessions, maintaining academic progress through school district partnerships, and offering both private and semi-private rooms for our residents.
Our dedicated team works closely with insurance providers to maximize coverage benefits, while our structured visitation program allows approved family members to stay connected with their teens during treatment, ensuring a supportive recovery journey.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance coverage for teen addiction treatment is widely available through most major health insurance providers. Thanks to regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), insurers must provide coverage for substance use disorder treatment and mental health services as essential health benefits.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we accept most insurance plans and work diligently to maximize your benefits. We’ll verify your coverage before admission to determine what portion of treatment costs your insurance will cover, including detox, residential care, and therapeutic services.
Our experienced admissions team can help you understand your benefits, investigate payment options, and manage any insurance-related questions you may have. If you don’t have insurance coverage, we’ll discuss alternative payment arrangements to guarantee your teen can receive the care they need.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
During treatment at Montville Adolescent Center, parents and guardians can visit their teens on Sundays during designated hours.
We recognize that maintaining family connections is essential for recovery, which is why we’ve established a structured visitation policy that promotes healing while ensuring safety and therapeutic progress.
To participate in visits, family members and guardians must be at least 18 years old and receive prior approval from our clinical staff.
Additionally, we require visitors to attend a Family Support Session before their first visit, as this helps create a supportive environment that aligns with our treatment goals.
Through these carefully managed visits, we’re able to maintain the delicate balance between family involvement and therapeutic integrity, while providing opportunities for families to practice new communication skills and strengthen their relationships.
Do you offer support to family members?
Throughout a teen’s recovery journey, Montville Adolescent Center provides extensive support services for family members, recognizing that addiction affects the entire family unit.
We offer regular family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and support groups designed to help parents and siblings understand addiction, improve communication, and develop healthy coping strategies.
Our thorough family support program includes weekly family therapy sessions, where families can address underlying issues and work together toward healing.
Additionally, we provide regular updates on your teen’s progress, educational resources about substance use disorders, and guidance on creating a supportive home environment.
Through our family workshops, we teach essential skills for maintaining boundaries, recognizing warning signs, and supporting long-term recovery, while connecting families with community resources and support networks for continued assistance after treatment.
What educational coordination is offered?
Beyond supporting families, we prioritize each teen’s academic progress during their stay at Montville Adolescent Center. Through dedicated partnerships with local schools, we maintain seamless curriculum integration to guarantee students don’t fall behind in their studies.
Our program includes two hours of structured academic time daily, complemented by physical education activities.
We actively coordinate with each client’s home school district to secure attendance credits and align coursework with their existing curriculum requirements. Our academic support system features specialized classroom environments and individualized attention, making it possible for teens to continue their educational journey while focusing on recovery.
When it’s time to shift back to their regular school environment, we work closely with educational staff to guarantee a smooth, successful return to the classroom.
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 gender-specific housing floors guarantee appropriate accommodations, while our thoughtfully designed living spaces promote a sense of security and comfort during the recovery journey.
We understand that personal space plays an essential role in the therapeutic process, which is why we’ve created rooms that serve as comfortable sanctuaries for our residents.
When determining room assignments, our clinical team carefully considers each teen’s individual needs, treatment goals, and therapeutic benefits. While private rooms are available, many of our clients benefit from sharing semi-private accommodations, as this arrangement can foster peer support and development of social skills within appropriate boundaries, all under our careful supervision with our 1:1 staff-to-client ratio.
Do you prescribe medications?
When addressing medication needs at Montville Adolescent Center, we maintain a thorough approach that prioritizes careful medical oversight and family involvement.
Before implementing any new medications or adjusting existing prescriptions, we’ll discuss all changes with parents or guardians to guarantee informed decision-making and transparency throughout the treatment process.
For teens who already have a psychiatrist or primary care provider managing their medications, we’ll need a signed Release of Information (ROI) form to facilitate communication with these healthcare professionals.
This enables us to verify previous treatment protocols and effectively coordinate any medication modifications during your teen’s stay.
Additionally, this collaboration guarantees a seamless shift in medication management once your child completes their treatment program with us.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Inside Montville Adolescent Center, we maintain clear behavioral guidelines to create a safe, structured environment conducive to recovery. Our rules include respecting staff and peers, participating in all scheduled therapeutic activities and groups, following the daily schedule, and maintaining appropriate boundaries.
We’ve established a strict no-tolerance policy for violence, threats, or possession of drugs, alcohol, or contraband items.
We require teens to keep their living spaces clean, adhere to designated quiet hours, and follow our dress code policy that promotes modesty and appropriateness.
Additionally, we regulate phone and electronic device usage, limiting communication to approved family members during scheduled times, while monitoring all correspondence to guarantee safety and therapeutic progress.
These guidelines help create structure and accountability, which are essential components of successful treatment.
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 from familiar triggers and negative influences can create a fresh environment for healing, while also reducing the likelihood of leaving treatment prematurely.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that teens who travel for treatment often experience increased focus on their recovery, as they’re removed from local peer pressures and destructive relationships.
Additionally, our specialized programs provide unique therapeutic approaches that may not be available closer to home, including our 1:1 staff-to-client ratio and extensive academic support.
The change in environment can also help break entrenched behavioral patterns, allowing your teen to develop new, healthy coping mechanisms without the interference of old habits and social circles.
How do I get started?
Starting the admission process for your teen is straightforward and can be completed in just a few simple steps.
When you reach out to our admissions team, we’ll connect you with a dedicated counselor who’ll conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment over the phone to confirm we’re the right fit for your child’s needs.
After the initial assessment, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and discuss any financial considerations, including additional payment options if needed.
Once we’ve completed these preliminary steps, we’ll work with you to arrange a convenient intake time that works best for your family’s schedule.
Throughout this process, our experienced team will guide you through any necessary paperwork and answer all your questions about our thorough treatment programs at Montville Adolescent Center.
