Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
Understanding the details of your teen’s treatment journey is essential, which is why we’ve compiled answers to parents’ most common questions about insurance coverage, visitation policies, family support programs, educational continuity, and room arrangements at our facility.
We work closely with insurance providers to maximize coverage benefits, coordinate weekly family therapy sessions and Sunday visitation hours, and maintain strong partnerships with local schools to guarantee your teen stays on track academically.
Through our thoughtfully designed facility, we offer both private and semi-private room options, maintaining a structured yet nurturing environment where teens can focus on their recovery while feeling safe and supported.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Most insurance plans cover teen rehab treatment, thanks to federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
These laws require insurance companies to provide coverage for substance use disorder treatment as an essential health benefit, while preventing them from imposing unfair limitations on mental health and addiction services.
We work with most major insurance providers and can help verify your specific coverage for our adolescent treatment programs.
When you contact our admissions team, we’ll conduct a complimentary benefits check to determine your out-of-pocket costs and explain any deductibles or copayments that may apply.
For families without insurance coverage, we offer additional payment options and can discuss financial arrangements to help make treatment accessible.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Visiting policies play an important role in supporting teens during their recovery journey at Montville Adolescent Center. We schedule designated visitation hours every Sunday, allowing families to maintain vital connections while their teens participate in our treatment program.
To guarantee a therapeutic environment, we require all visitors to be family members or legal guardians who are at least 18 years of age.
Before any visits can occur, we’ve established a thorough approval process that includes clinical staff review and mandatory attendance at a Family Support Session. This structured approach helps create a supportive atmosphere that enhances the recovery process.
Through these carefully managed visitation protocols, we’re able to maintain the delicate balance between family involvement and therapeutic progress, ensuring that each visit contributes positively to your teen’s treatment experience.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family support forms a cornerstone of our all-inclusive teen treatment approach at Montville Adolescent Center. We actively engage family members through extensive support services, including weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular progress updates about their teen’s recovery journey.
Our family support program incorporates multi-faceted elements to guarantee parents and guardians are equipped with essential tools and knowledge. Through our dedicated Family Support Sessions, we provide guidance on understanding addiction, developing effective communication strategies, and implementing healthy boundaries.
Additionally, we offer resources for parents to connect with other families facing similar challenges, while our clinical team maintains open lines of communication to address concerns and celebrate progress throughout their teen’s treatment process.
What educational coordination is offered?
Educational coordination at Montville Adolescent Center guarantees students maintain their academic progress while receiving treatment.
We work directly with each teen’s home school district to secure attendance credits and maintain curriculum alignment throughout their stay. Our program includes two dedicated hours of structured academics daily, integrated with physical education activities.
We understand the importance of preventing academic setbacks during treatment, which is why we’ve established partnerships with local schools to create seamless educational continuity.
Our staff coordinates with teachers and guidance counselors to obtain current assignments, facilitate make-up work, and monitor academic progress.
Through this all-encompassing approach, we’re able to help students stay on track with their studies while focusing on their recovery, making the eventual shift back to their regular school environment much smoother.
Will my teenager have their own room?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options for teens in our residential treatment program. Our thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize comfort, safety, and a therapeutic environment that supports recovery and healing.
We understand that room arrangements play an important role in treatment success, which is why we maintain gender-specific housing floors and carefully consider room assignments based on individual needs and clinical recommendations.
While private rooms are available, many teens benefit from our semi-private accommodations, which can help foster peer support and develop social skills essential for recovery.
Each room is equipped with basic amenities and monitored regularly by our staff, maintaining our commitment to providing a structured, supportive environment with our 1:1 staff-to-client ratio.
Do you prescribe medications?
Managing medications requires close collaboration between our medical team, parents, and existing healthcare providers. Before making any changes or additions to your teen’s medication regimen, we’ll thoroughly discuss our recommendations with you, ensuring you’re informed and comfortable with the proposed treatment plan.
To maintain continuity of care, we ask parents to sign a Release of Information form, which allows us to communicate directly with your teen’s current psychiatrist or primary care provider. This open line of communication enables us to verify previous treatments, discuss ongoing medication management, and coordinate post-treatment care effectively.
Throughout your child’s stay, our medical team will closely monitor their response to medications, making adjustments as needed while keeping you informed of any changes or developments in their treatment plan.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Following a structured set of rules is essential for creating a safe, supportive environment where teens can focus on their recovery. At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve established clear guidelines that promote respect, accountability, and personal growth throughout the treatment process.
Our teens must follow daily schedules, participate in all therapeutic activities, and maintain appropriate boundaries with peers and staff. We require compliance with medication protocols, attendance at academic sessions, and active engagement in group therapies.
Additionally, we enforce strict policies regarding personal electronics, outside communication, and contraband items to minimize distractions and guarantee safety. While these rules may seem stringent, they’re designed to create the structure and stability necessary for successful recovery, helping teens develop the discipline and coping skills they’ll need for long-term success.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Several compelling benefits come with choosing an out-of-state treatment facility for your teenager’s recovery journey.
Distance from familiar triggers and negative influences can create a fresh environment for healing, while separation from established peer groups often allows teens to focus more intently on their recovery without social pressures.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that out-of-state treatment helps reduce the likelihood of leaving against medical advice, as the physical distance serves as a natural deterrent.
Additionally, being away from home can foster greater independence and self-reliance, which are essential skills for long-term recovery.
While we acknowledge that local treatment has its advantages, the structured environment and complete change of scenery that out-of-state care provides often leads to more sustainable recovery outcomes.
How do I get started?
Starting the admission process at Montville Adolescent Center involves three simple steps.
First, you’ll connect with our admissions team, who’ll conduct a brief, 10-minute phone assessment to verify our program aligns with your teen’s needs.
Next, we’ll verify your insurance benefits to determine coverage and discuss any additional financial arrangements that may be necessary.
Finally, we’ll schedule your teen’s intake appointment at a time that works for your family.
Throughout this process, our experienced admissions counselors will guide you, answering any questions and addressing concerns about our treatment programs, facility amenities, or visiting policies.
We recognize that seeking help for your teenager can feel overwhelming, which is why we’ve designed our admission process to be straightforward and supportive, allowing you to focus on what matters most – your child’s recovery.
