Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
At Guardian Recovery’s Montville Adolescent Center, we recognize parents have many questions about our teen rehab program, from insurance coverage and educational continuity to family involvement and living arrangements.
We’re committed to making the treatment process transparent and accessible, with our team ready to answer questions about insurance verification, family visitation policies, academic coordination with local schools, and our comfortable semi-private room arrangements.
Through our thorough support systems, including weekly family therapy sessions, structured academic programs, and personalized treatment plans, we work to address every aspect of your teenager’s recovery journey.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance coverage for teen addiction treatment is typically available through most major providers, thanks to key healthcare legislation.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) guarantee that insurance companies must cover essential mental health and substance use disorder treatments, including adolescent programs like ours.
We accept most insurance plans and work directly with providers to maximize your benefits while minimizing out-of-pocket expenses.
At Guardian Recovery’s Montville Adolescent Center, we’ll help verify your coverage and explain your benefits in detail, including deductibles, copayments, and any pre-authorization requirements.
If you’re concerned about treatment costs, our admissions team can discuss additional payment options and work with you to develop a manageable financial plan that guarantees your teen receives the care they need.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Parents often wonder about staying connected with their teen during treatment. At Montville Adolescent Center, we recognize the importance of maintaining family bonds during recovery, which is why we’ve established structured visitation opportunities every Sunday during designated hours.
We’ve implemented specific guidelines to ensure a therapeutic environment while supporting family connections. Visitors must be family members or guardians who are at least 18 years old, and all potential visitors need prior approval from our clinical staff.
Additionally, we require visitors to participate in a Family Support Session before visitation, which helps create a more meaningful and supportive interaction. This requirement aligns with our family-centric approach to treatment, ensuring that family members understand their role in the recovery process and can provide appropriate support during visits.
Do you offer support to family members?
Montville’s extensive family support program recognizes that teen addiction affects the entire family unit. We provide thorough support through weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and support groups designed to help parents and siblings understand addiction’s impact while developing healthy coping strategies.
Our family-focused approach includes regular progress updates, therapeutic family visits, and specialized counseling to address family dynamics that may contribute to substance use.
We’ll teach you effective communication techniques, boundary-setting skills, and strategies to support your teen’s recovery journey. Additionally, we connect families with community resources and support networks that can provide ongoing assistance after treatment concludes.
Through our multi-faceted family program, we’re committed to healing not just the individual, but strengthening the entire family system for lasting recovery.
What educational coordination is offered?
Through our dedicated academic coordination program, we partner directly with each teen’s home school district to maintain educational progress during treatment. We guarantee attendance credits are properly tracked and that our curriculum aligns with their school’s requirements, helping teens stay on track academically during their recovery journey.
Our daily schedule includes two hours of structured academic time, where we provide individualized support and guidance tailored to each student’s needs.
We’ll work closely with your teen’s teachers and guidance counselors to coordinate assignments, tests, and educational materials, making sure they don’t fall behind their peers.
This thorough educational support system, combined with our therapeutic services, creates a seamless shift back to regular schooling once treatment is complete.
Will my teenager have their own room?
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we provide both private and semi-private rooms to accommodate our teenage residents. Our room arrangements are thoughtfully designed to support each teen’s recovery journey while ensuring their comfort and security throughout their stay.
While we can’t guarantee private rooms for every resident, we carefully consider individual needs, clinical recommendations, and availability when making room assignments.
Our gender-specific housing floors feature comfortable living spaces that promote both rest and reflection, with each room providing essential amenities in a therapeutic environment.
When determining room assignments, we take into account various factors, including treatment requirements, personality compatibility for shared rooms, and any specific accommodations that might benefit your teen’s recovery process.
Rest assured, all our living spaces are monitored 24/7 to maintain a safe, structured healing environment.
Do you prescribe medications?
Any medications prescribed during your teen’s treatment involve careful coordination between our medical team and you as parents or guardians.
We discuss any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions thoroughly before implementation, ensuring you’re fully informed and comfortable with the treatment plan.
If your teen currently works with a psychiatrist or primary care provider, we’ll need a signed Release of Information (ROI) form to facilitate communication with these professionals during your child’s stay.
This collaboration allows us to verify previous treatment history and effectively communicate any medication adjustments for post-treatment care.
We’re committed to maintaining transparent communication about your teen’s medication management, while ensuring their treatment plan aligns with both immediate needs and long-term recovery goals.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Yes, treatment at Montville Adolescent Center follows a structured set of rules designed to create a safe, supportive environment for recovery.
Our core guidelines include maintaining respect for staff and peers, participating in all scheduled activities and therapy sessions, and adhering to our dress code and personal conduct policies.
We’ve established clear expectations around prohibited items, including cell phones, personal electronics, and non-approved medications, while also enforcing strict policies regarding appropriate behavior and language.
Additionally, we require teens to follow their individualized daily schedules, which include designated times for academics, therapy, meals, and recreation.
Through these rules, we’re able to provide consistent structure and accountability, which research shows are essential components for successful adolescent recovery and rehabilitation.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Beyond the structured environment and rules of our facility, sending your teenager to an out-of-state treatment program offers several important advantages.
Treatment away from home removes teens from negative peer influences, familiar triggers, and destructive patterns that may have contributed to their substance use. We’ve found that physical distance often creates the emotional space needed for genuine reflection and change.
Additionally, out-of-state treatment provides a fresh start where teens can focus solely on their recovery without daily distractions or the pressure to maintain old social connections.
The dedicated academic support at our New Jersey facility guarantees educational continuity, while our serene location, just 45 minutes from Manhattan, offers the perfect balance of accessibility and separation from familiar environments that might hinder recovery progress.
How do I get started?
Starting the journey toward teen addiction treatment is straightforward and begins with a simple phone call to our admissions team.
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 specific needs and circumstances.
Once the initial assessment is complete, we’ll work directly with your insurance provider to verify benefits and determine coverage options for treatment.
For families without insurance coverage, we’ll discuss alternative payment arrangements to make treatment accessible.
After addressing financial considerations, we’ll coordinate a convenient intake time that works with your schedule.
Throughout this process, our compassionate admissions team remains available to answer any questions you may have about our program, facilities, or treatment approaches at Montville Adolescent Center.
