Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that families have many questions about our teen rehabilitation program, from insurance coverage and visitation policies to educational support and room arrangements.
Our dedicated team works closely with insurance providers to maximize coverage, coordinates weekly family visits and therapy sessions, and maintains strong partnerships with local schools to guarantee academic progress continues during treatment.
Through our thorough program, teens receive personalized attention in either private or semi-private rooms, while families receive ongoing support, education, and guidance throughout their loved one’s recovery journey.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers all or part of addiction treatment costs due to federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
The ACA requires insurance providers to cover essential health benefits, including mental health and substance use disorder treatment, guaranteeing thorough coverage for teens who need help.
We accept most major insurance plans and work diligently to maximize your benefits while minimizing out-of-pocket expenses.
Our experienced admissions team will verify your coverage and explain your benefits in detail, including any deductibles or copayments that may apply.
For families without insurance coverage, we’ll discuss alternative payment options to guarantee your teen can access the care they need.
We believe financial concerns shouldn’t prevent anyone from receiving potentially life-saving treatment.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Parents and guardians can visit their teens at Montville Adolescent Center during designated hours on Sundays.
To ensure the safety and therapeutic integrity of our program, we require all visitors to be at least 18 years old and undergo approval from our clinical staff before visitation. Additionally, participation in a Family Support Session is mandatory for all approved visitors.
We recognize the importance of maintaining family connections during treatment, which is why we’ve structured our visitation policy to support both the recovery process and family bonds.
During these visits, families can observe their teen’s progress firsthand and engage in therapeutic activities together.
However, to protect our clients’ privacy and maintain a structured environment, we ask that all visitors adhere to our facility’s guidelines and respect designated visitation schedules.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family involvement forms a cornerstone of our teen rehabilitation program, with extensive support services designed specifically for parents, siblings, and other family members.
We offer thorough family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and support groups that help families understand addiction, develop healthy communication patterns, and build effective coping strategies.
Through our family-centric approach, we provide weekly updates on treatment progress, invite family participation in therapy sessions, and offer guidance on creating a supportive home environment.
Our specialized Family Support Sessions, which are required before visitation, help family members understand the recovery process and their role in supporting their teen’s journey.
Additionally, we maintain open lines of communication between our clinical team and families, ensuring everyone remains aligned in supporting the teen’s recovery goals.
What educational coordination is offered?
Educational coordination at Montville Adolescent Center guarantees teens stay on track academically during treatment. We partner directly with each client’s home school district to verify attendance credits and maintain curriculum alignment throughout their stay.
Our program dedicates two hours daily to structured academic pursuits, combining traditional education with physical activities.
Through our extensive educational support system, we’ve established relationships with local schools to facilitate seamless curriculum integration, while our specialized staff works to prevent any academic disruption during treatment.
We recognize that maintaining educational progress is vital for long-term success, which is why we’ve designed our program to include both therapeutic interventions and scholastic advancement, guaranteeing our clients can shift smoothly back to their regular academic environment after completing treatment.
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 therapeutic recovery, with gender-specific housing floors that help create an environment where teens can feel secure and focused on their healing journey.
We’ve carefully considered the importance of personal space in the recovery process, which is why our rooms are arranged to support both individual reflection and appropriate social interaction.
While private rooms offer additional solitude for teens who may benefit from increased privacy, our semi-private accommodations foster peer support and community building under careful staff supervision.
In all cases, we maintain our specialized 1:1 staff-to-client ratio to guarantee constant support and monitoring throughout your teen’s stay.
Do you prescribe medications?
Safety and transparency guide our medication management protocols at Montville Adolescent Center. We maintain clear communication with parents and guardians regarding any medication decisions, discussing all new prescriptions or changes to existing medications before implementation.
If your teen currently works with a psychiatrist or primary care provider, we’ll coordinate with them through a signed Release of Information (ROI) form.
This collaborative approach guarantees consistent care during and after treatment, as we can verify previous treatment history and communicate any medication adjustments.
Our medical team carefully evaluates each teen’s needs, and when prescribing medications, we consider their complete medical history, current symptoms, and long-term treatment goals.
Through this thorough process, we prioritize both effective treatment and family involvement in medication decisions.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Structure and discipline form the foundation of our teen rehabilitation program at Montville Adolescent Center.
We’ve established clear behavioral expectations that include following daily schedules, participating in all therapeutic activities, and maintaining respectful interactions with staff and peers. Our teens must adhere to our zero-tolerance policy for substance use, violence, or inappropriate behavior, while also following our dress code and personal hygiene standards.
Additionally, we require teens to participate in daily room checks, attend all scheduled therapy sessions, and complete assigned academic work.
We’ve implemented restrictions on personal electronics and outside communication to maintain focus on recovery, though we do allow scheduled family contact through approved channels.
These guidelines create a structured, therapeutic environment where teens can develop essential life skills and work toward lasting recovery.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
While our robust local program offers thorough care, choosing an out-of-state treatment facility for your teen can provide unique advantages. The physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences often creates a fresh perspective, allowing your teenager to focus completely on their recovery journey.
Additionally, out-of-state treatment can help minimize disruptions from peers who may interfere with the healing process.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that teens who travel for treatment often experience increased personal growth, as they’re removed from their comfort zones and challenged to develop new coping mechanisms.
We’re conveniently located near major transportation hubs, making us accessible to families from across the country, while still providing the necessary separation that can be vital for lasting recovery and transformation.
How do I get started?
Starting treatment at Montville Adolescent Center involves three simple steps.
First, you’ll connect with our admissions team, who’ll conduct a brief 10-minute pre-assessment over the phone to guarantee we’re the right fit for your teen’s needs.
Next, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and discuss payment options, helping you understand the coverage and costs associated with your child’s treatment program.
