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 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 accommodations.
Through our thorough family support program, we guarantee parents stay actively involved in their teen’s recovery journey while maintaining strong communication about treatment progress, medications, and aftercare planning.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers all or part of teen addiction treatment costs, thanks to federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
These laws guarantee that insurance providers must cover essential health benefits, including mental health and substance use disorder treatment, just as they’d cover medical conditions.
We accept most major insurance plans and can help verify your benefits to determine coverage.
Our admissions team will work directly with your insurance provider to maximize your benefits and explain any out-of-pocket expenses.
If you don’t have insurance, we’ll discuss alternative payment options that can make treatment more accessible.
For a detailed understanding of your coverage and costs, we encourage you to contact our admissions counselors for a confidential insurance verification.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
While understanding insurance coverage is important, many parents are equally concerned about maintaining contact with their teen during treatment.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve established a structured visitation policy that allows family members to stay connected with their teens during the recovery process. Designated visitation hours take place every Sunday, and we welcome family members and guardians who are 18 years or older to participate.
Before any visits can occur, all visitors must receive approval from our clinical staff and attend one of our Family Support Sessions, which helps ensure that the visits support your teen’s therapeutic progress.
This thoughtful approach to visitation helps maintain essential family bonds while protecting the integrity of your teen’s treatment program.
Do you offer support to family members?
Supporting families throughout their teen’s recovery journey is a cornerstone of our treatment philosophy at Montville Adolescent Center. We recognize that addiction affects the entire family unit, which is why we’ve developed thorough support services, including weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular progress updates.
Our Family Support Program helps parents and guardians understand their teen’s challenges while providing practical tools for healthy communication and boundary-setting.
Through our structured family therapy sessions, we address underlying family dynamics, rebuild trust, and establish strategies for long-term success. Additionally, we offer dedicated support groups where family members can connect with others facing similar challenges, while our clinical team provides ongoing guidance about treatment progress and post-discharge planning to guarantee a successful shift home.
What educational coordination is offered?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we maintain strong partnerships with local school districts to guarantee your teen stays on track academically during treatment. Our program dedicates two hours daily to structured academic pursuits, making sure your child won’t fall behind while receiving care.
We actively collaborate with your teen’s home school to facilitate attendance credits and align our curriculum with their educational requirements.
Our staff works closely with teachers and administrators to obtain assignments, coordinate testing schedules, and guarantee a seamless shift back to regular classes after treatment.
Through our extensive educational support system, we’re able to provide progress updates to both parents and schools, while offering individualized tutoring when needed.
This integrated approach allows your teen to focus on recovery without sacrificing their academic progress.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Our facility offers both private and semi-private room options for teens in treatment. We recognize that having a comfortable, personal space is essential for recovery, which is why we’ve designed our accommodations to promote both rest and healing.
Our private rooms offer additional solitude when needed, while our semi-private arrangements can help foster peer support and social connections.
Each room, whether private or shared, is thoughtfully furnished with comfortable beds, storage space for personal belongings, and study areas to support academic work.
We maintain separate gender-specific housing floors to guarantee privacy and comfort for all residents. Our staff regularly monitors all living spaces to maintain cleanliness, safety, and structure, while still respecting each teen’s need for personal space during their treatment journey.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medication management plays an essential role in our inclusive treatment approach. At Montville Adolescent Center, we maintain open communication with parents and guardians regarding any medication-related decisions for their teens.
Before implementing new medications or adjusting existing prescriptions, our medical team discusses all options with families to guarantee informed decision-making.
For teens who already have a psychiatrist or primary care provider managing their medications, we request that parents sign our Release of Information (ROI) form.
This authorization allows us to coordinate effectively with your child’s existing healthcare providers, verify previous treatment protocols, and communicate any medication modifications that occur during their stay.
Through this collaborative approach, we can guarantee continuity of care and develop extensive medication plans that support your teen’s recovery journey both during and after treatment.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Safety and structure form the foundation of our teen treatment program, which is why we maintain clear behavioral expectations and guidelines.
We require teens to follow a structured daily schedule that includes medical check-ins, therapy sessions, academic work, and recreational activities, while maintaining respectful behavior toward staff and peers.
Additionally, we’ve established specific rules about personal belongings, electronic devices, and communication with individuals outside the facility to guarantee a focused healing environment.
All teens must participate fully in their treatment programming, complete assigned therapeutic work, and maintain appropriate boundaries with others.
While these rules may seem strict, they’re designed to create a secure, therapeutic environment where your teen can focus entirely on their recovery journey, develop healthy habits, and build the skills they’ll need for long-term success.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Many families find distinct advantages in choosing out-of-state treatment for their teen’s recovery journey.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve seen how physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences can create a fresh start, allowing teens to focus entirely on their recovery without outside distractions. The change in environment often helps break established patterns of substance use and problematic behaviors.
Additionally, out-of-state treatment provides an opportunity for teens to build new, healthy relationships with peers who share similar recovery goals.
We’ve found that this geographical separation can also strengthen family dynamics, as it encourages more intentional communication during scheduled family therapy sessions and visits, while providing parents peace of mind knowing their teen is receiving specialized care in our structured, supportive environment.
How do I get started?
Starting the journey toward teen rehabilitation is straightforward and compassionate. When you’re ready to begin, simply call our admissions team, and one of our dedicated counselors will conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment over the phone to confirm we’re the right fit for your teenager’s needs.
Once we’ve completed the initial assessment, we’ll verify your insurance benefits, if applicable, and discuss any additional payment options that might be necessary.
From there, we’ll work with you to arrange a convenient intake time at our Montville Adolescent Center. Throughout this process, our experienced staff maintains open communication with families, making certain you’re fully informed and comfortable with each step.
We recognize this can feel overwhelming, which is why we’ve streamlined our admission process to be as efficient and stress-free as possible.
