Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We realize parents have many questions about our teen rehab program, from insurance coverage and visitation policies to educational support and living arrangements.
Our dedicated team works closely with families to address common concerns, including insurance verification, weekly family therapy sessions, academic coordination with home schools, and comfortable semi-private or private room options.
Through our extensive FAQ resources and attentive admissions staff, we’re ready to provide detailed answers about treatment costs, family involvement opportunities, medication management, and any other aspects of our adolescent recovery program.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Thanks to federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), most insurance plans will cover all or part of your teen’s addiction treatment costs.
The ACA requires insurance providers to include essential health benefits, which encompass both mental health services and substance use disorder treatment.
We’re pleased to accept most major insurance plans at Montville Adolescent Center, and we’ll work directly with your provider to maximize your coverage benefits.
To understand your specific coverage and potential out-of-pocket expenses, we encourage you to connect with our admissions team, who’ll conduct a complimentary insurance verification.
If you don’t have insurance coverage, we’ll discuss alternative payment options to guarantee your teen can access the care they need.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Parents’ ability to visit their teen during treatment is an important part of the recovery process at Montville Adolescent Center.
We’ve established designated visiting hours every Sunday, ensuring families can maintain vital connections while their teens undergo treatment. Our structured visitation policy requires that all visitors be at least 18 years old and must be immediate family members or legal guardians.
Before any visits can occur, we require that all potential visitors receive approval from our clinical staff and participate in one of our Family Support Sessions, which helps create a foundation for productive interactions.
This protocol guarantees that visitations align with each teen’s treatment goals and supports their recovery journey. We’re committed to fostering healthy family relationships while maintaining the therapeutic environment that’s essential for successful treatment outcomes.
Do you offer support to family members?
Recognizing the essential role families play in teen recovery, Montville Adolescent Center provides extensive support services for family members throughout the treatment process.
We offer weekly 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 regular progress updates from our clinical team, structured visitation opportunities, and specialized training in recovery support techniques.
We’ll work with you to address fundamental family dynamics, establish stronger boundaries, and create a more supportive home environment for your teen’s continued recovery.

What educational coordination is offered?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we maintain strong partnerships with local school districts to guarantee teens don’t fall behind academically during treatment. Our program dedicates two hours daily to structured academic pursuits, working closely with each student’s home school to align coursework and guarantee attendance credits are properly maintained.
We’ve developed a thorough educational coordination system that includes direct communication with teachers, curriculum mapping, and progress monitoring to facilitate a seamless shift back to regular schooling after treatment.
Our academic support team collaborates with school counselors and administrators to address specific educational requirements, accommodate testing schedules, and modify assignments when necessary. Through this integrated approach, we’re able to support our clients’ recovery while simultaneously protecting their academic future and educational goals.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Room arrangements at Montville Adolescent Center include both private and semi-private options for our teen residents.
We recognize that having personal space during treatment is essential for comfort and therapeutic progress, which is why we’ve designed our gender-specific housing floors to accommodate different rooming preferences.
While some teens benefit from the independence and privacy of their own room, others find comfort and support through sharing a semi-private space with a peer in recovery.
Our professional staff carefully considers each teen’s individual needs, clinical requirements, and therapeutic goals when making room assignments.
Throughout their stay, we guarantee that all living spaces remain safe, clean, and conducive to recovery, with regular monitoring and support from our 1:1 staff-to-client care team.
Do you prescribe medications?
Beyond providing comfortable living arrangements, medication management plays an essential role in our teen treatment program.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’re committed to discussing any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions with parents or guardians before implementation. To guarantee thorough care coordination, we request that families sign a Release of Information (ROI) form if their teen has an existing psychiatrist or primary care provider, allowing us to communicate effectively about their treatment history and medication needs.
This collaborative approach enables us to verify past treatments and seamlessly coordinate any medication adjustments during and after the program.
Our medical team carefully evaluates each teen’s needs, guaranteeing that any prescribed medications align with their individualized treatment plan and recovery goals.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Rehabilitation success depends on following clear behavioral guidelines during treatment at Montville Adolescent Center.
We maintain a structured environment where teens must respect designated quiet hours, attend all scheduled therapy sessions, and participate actively in group activities. To guarantee everyone’s safety and progress, we don’t allow cell phones or unauthorized electronic devices, and all communication with family occurs during approved times.
Our teens are expected to maintain appropriate boundaries with peers, complete assigned academic work, and follow their individualized treatment plans.
We’ve established a merit system that reinforces positive behaviors, including keeping living spaces tidy, showing respect to staff and peers, and adhering to the daily schedule.
These guidelines create a therapeutic environment where recovery can flourish while teaching valuable life skills that support long-term sobriety.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Sending your teenager to an out-of-state treatment facility like Montville Adolescent Center offers several meaningful advantages.
We’ve found that physical distance often creates emotional space for both teens and families to focus fully on recovery, while removing your child from potentially triggering environments and negative peer influences back home. Our location, just 45 minutes from Manhattan, provides the perfect balance of accessibility and separation.
Additionally, out-of-state treatment can give your teenager a fresh start, away from the stigma they might feel in their local community.
At our center, we’ve created a structured, nurturing environment where teens can build new, healthy relationships with peers who share similar recovery goals, while our academic partnership program guarantees they won’t fall behind in their studies during treatment.
How do I get started?
Taking the first step toward teen addiction treatment is straightforward at Montville Adolescent Center. We begin with a simple, confidential phone call to our admissions team, where one of our dedicated counselors will conduct a brief 10-minute pre-assessment to confirm we’re the right fit for your teen’s needs.
After completing the initial assessment, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and discuss any financial considerations, making certain you understand the coverage available for your child’s treatment.
Once we’ve addressed these preliminary matters, we’ll work with you to schedule an intake appointment that accommodates your family’s schedule.
Throughout this process, our experienced admissions team remains available to answer questions and guide you through each step, guaranteeing a smooth shift into our all-encompassing treatment program.
