Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that families have many questions about our teen rehab program, from insurance coverage and visitation policies to educational support and living arrangements.
Our experienced team is ready to guide you through common concerns, including our extensive family support services, coordination with your teen’s school district, and our comfortable semi-private and private room options.
In addition to accepting most major insurance plans that can greatly reduce out-of-pocket costs, we offer weekly family therapy sessions, maintain constant communication with schools for academic continuity, and guarantee a structured, supportive environment for your teenager’s recovery journey.
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 cover all or part of teen addiction treatment costs.
The ACA requires insurance providers to cover essential health benefits, including mental health and substance use disorder treatment, while the MHPAEA guarantees equal coverage between medical and behavioral health services.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we accept most major insurance plans and will work directly with your provider to maximize your benefits.
While coverage varies by plan, we’ll help verify your benefits and explain exactly what’s covered, including detox, residential treatment, and therapeutic services.
If you’re concerned about costs, our admissions team can check your coverage and discuss payment options that make treatment accessible for your family.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Beyond understanding insurance coverage, many parents want to know about staying connected with their teen during treatment. At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve established structured visitation protocols that allow families to maintain meaningful contact while supporting their teen’s recovery journey.
We welcome family visits during designated hours on Sundays, though visitors must meet specific requirements to ensure a therapeutic environment. All visitors must be at least 18 years old, be approved family members or legal guardians, and receive prior clearance from our clinical staff.
Additionally, we require visitors to participate in a Family Support Session before visitation, which helps create a more supportive and informed atmosphere during these important interactions. This balanced approach allows teens to focus on their recovery while maintaining vital family connections.
Do you offer support to family members?
In accordance with our family-centric approach, thorough support services are available for all family members throughout their teen’s treatment journey. We offer weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and support groups designed to help parents and siblings understand addiction, develop healthy communication strategies, and rebuild trust within the family unit.
Our all-encompassing family program includes regular progress updates from our clinical team, access to our family resource center, and participation in our Sunday Family Support Sessions, which are required before visitation.
Additionally, we provide ongoing guidance for establishing boundaries, implementing effective parenting strategies, and creating a supportive home environment that promotes long-term recovery. Through our multi-faceted approach, we guarantee that families have the tools, knowledge, and support needed to heal together and foster lasting positive change.
What educational coordination is offered?
Montville Adolescent Center’s educational coordination guarantees students maintain their academic progress during treatment. We partner directly with each teen’s home school district to ascertain proper attendance credits and seamless curriculum alignment during their stay.
Our program includes two structured hours of daily academics, carefully integrated into our therapeutic schedule.
We understand that keeping up with schoolwork is essential for a successful recovery and reintegration. Through our collaborative approach, we work with teachers and school administrators to obtain current assignments, facilitate make-up work, and provide progress updates.
Our academic support team helps students stay on track with their studies while managing their recovery journey, making sure they won’t fall behind their peers when they return to their regular school environment.
Will my teenager have their own room?
While academic support helps teens thrive during treatment, families often ask about living arrangements at our facility.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options, with our accommodations thoughtfully designed to provide a safe, nurturing environment for recovery.
Our gender-specific housing floors guarantee appropriate separation and comfort, while our carefully monitored living spaces promote both independence and community connection.
We’ve structured our residential areas to balance personal space with opportunities for therapeutic interaction, understanding that having an appropriate living environment is essential for successful treatment.
Additionally, all rooms are regularly inspected and maintained to meet our high standards for safety and comfort, allowing teens to focus fully on their recovery journey while maintaining appropriate boundaries and personal space.
Do you prescribe medications?
Managing medications safely and transparently is a core part of our treatment approach. Before making any changes to your teen’s medications or prescribing new ones, our medical team will thoroughly discuss these decisions with you as parents or guardians.
We prioritize clear communication about all medication-related matters and require your informed consent for any modifications to your child’s treatment plan.
If your teenager already works with a psychiatrist or primary care provider, we’ll ask you to sign a Release of Information (ROI) form, allowing us to coordinate care effectively.
This documentation enables our team to verify previous treatments and communicate any medication adjustments that occur during your teen’s stay with us.
We’re committed to ensuring seamless coordination between our facility and your child’s existing healthcare providers for ideal post-treatment continuity of care.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Our treatment program maintains clear behavioral guidelines to create a safe, structured, and therapeutic environment for all participants.
We require teens to follow our daily schedule, attend all therapeutic sessions, and complete assigned academic work while maintaining respectful interactions with staff and peers.
While in our care, we don’t allow cell phones or other personal electronic devices, and we closely monitor all communication with family and friends to guarantee it supports recovery goals.
Additionally, we’ve established strict policies regarding appropriate dress code, personal boundaries, and prohibited items.
Our staff consistently enforces these rules while providing positive reinforcement for compliance, as we’ve found that clear structure helps teens develop essential self-discipline skills and promotes a more effective healing environment.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Sending your teenager to an out-of-state treatment facility can offer several distinct advantages for their recovery journey.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance from familiar triggers and negative peer influences often allows teens to fully focus on their recovery without daily distractions from their usual environment.
Additionally, out-of-state treatment provides a fresh perspective and clean slate, where your teen won’t encounter people they know from their hometown during this vulnerable time.
We’ve also observed that the geographical separation can strengthen family dynamics, as scheduled visitation and therapy sessions become more intentional and meaningful.
This structured approach to family involvement, combined with our extensive treatment program, helps create the ideal environment for lasting recovery while maintaining essential family connections through our regular Sunday visitation schedule.
How do I get started?
Taking the first step toward teen rehabilitation is straightforward at Montville Adolescent Center. When you reach out to our admissions team, one of our dedicated counselors will conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment over the phone to guarantee we’re the right fit for your teenager’s needs.
After completing the initial assessment, we’ll work with you to verify your insurance benefits and discuss any financial considerations.
Once these details are confirmed, we’ll coordinate a convenient time for your teen’s intake appointment, where we’ll begin developing their personalized treatment plan.
Throughout this process, our experienced team remains available to answer your questions and address any concerns, facilitating a smooth shift into our program where your teen will receive the specialized care they need to start their recovery journey.
