Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
As parents consider treatment options for their teens, we recognize you’ll have important questions about insurance coverage, visitation policies, and the overall program structure.
We’re committed to making the treatment journey transparent, from our thorough insurance coverage and weekly family visitation opportunities to our dedicated academic coordination with your teen’s home school.
Our facility offers both private and semi-private rooms, along with extensive family support services, including therapy sessions, workshops, and regular progress updates to keep you connected throughout your child’s recovery journey.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers most or all costs associated with teen drug and alcohol treatment, thanks to two key federal laws: the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
The ACA requires all insurance providers to cover essential health benefits, which include both mental health and substance use disorder treatments.
Additionally, the MHPAEA prevents insurance companies from imposing stricter limitations on addiction and mental health benefits compared to medical benefits.
While coverage details vary by plan, we’ll work with your insurance provider to maximize your benefits and minimize out-of-pocket expenses.
Our admissions team can verify your insurance coverage quickly and confidentially, helping you understand exactly what your plan covers and any potential costs you might incur during your teen’s treatment program.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Family visits play an essential role in the recovery process at Montville Adolescent Center. We welcome family members and legal guardians who are 18 or older to visit their teens during our designated Sunday visitation hours, as maintaining strong family connections supports successful treatment outcomes.
Before any visits can occur, we require all potential visitors to receive approval from our clinical staff and participate in a Family Support Session, which helps create a supportive environment for your teen’s recovery journey.
This careful screening process ensures that all interactions contribute positively to your teen’s treatment progress. Our structured visitation schedule maintains the stability and routine that’s vital for recovery.
We’ll work closely with you to coordinate these important family connections while adhering to our established protocols for everyone’s safety and well-being.
Do you offer support to family members?
Montville Adolescent Center’s extensive family support program integrates parents and guardians into every stage of their teen’s recovery journey.
We provide thorough family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular updates on your child’s progress, ensuring you’re actively involved in the treatment process.
Our family support services include weekly family therapy sessions, where we address underlying family dynamics and develop effective communication strategies, along with monthly educational workshops that cover topics such as addiction science, mental health awareness, and healthy boundary-setting.
Throughout your teen’s stay, we’ll maintain open lines of communication through scheduled progress updates and our dedicated family liaison team, who can answer questions and provide guidance whenever needed.
What educational coordination is offered?
During treatment, our educational coordinators work directly with your teen’s home school district to guarantee academic continuity.
We’ve designed our program to include two hours of structured academic time each day, ensuring your child stays on track with their studies while receiving the care they need.
Our thorough educational support includes coordinating with teachers for assignments, facilitating attendance credits, and maintaining alignment with your teen’s regular curriculum requirements.
We recognize that maintaining academic progress is essential for your child’s future success, which is why we’ve integrated education as a fundamental component of our treatment program.
Through our partnerships with local schools, we’re able to provide seamless curriculum integration that allows for a smoother change back to regular schooling once treatment is completed.
Will my teenager have their own room?
When it comes to room arrangements, teens at our facility have the option of either private or semi-private accommodations. Our gender-specific housing floors guarantee appropriate separation and comfort, while our thoughtfully designed living spaces promote a sense of security and personal space that’s vital for recovery.
We’ve found that room arrangements play a significant role in our teens’ treatment success, which is why we carefully consider each client’s specific needs and circumstances when making room assignments.
While private rooms offer maximum personal space and privacy, our semi-private options can help foster peer support and social connections, which are valuable components of the recovery process.
Our clinical team works closely with families to determine the most appropriate housing arrangement for each teen’s unique situation.
Do you prescribe medications?
Yes, our medical team can prescribe medications when clinically appropriate for your teen’s treatment.
Before making any medication changes or additions, we’ll always discuss these decisions with you, as the parent or guardian, to guarantee you’re fully informed and comfortable with the treatment plan.
If your teen currently works with a psychiatrist or primary care provider who prescribes medications, we’ll need you to sign our Release of Information (ROI) form.
This essential documentation allows us to communicate directly with their existing healthcare providers, verify previous treatments, and coordinate any medication adjustments during their stay with us.
Additionally, this collaboration guarantees a smooth shift for your teen’s medication management once they complete our program and return to their regular healthcare providers.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Our teen treatment program operates under a clear set of rules and expectations to secure safety, structure, and therapeutic progress for all participants. While we’ll share our complete list of guidelines during admission, some key rules include maintaining appropriate boundaries with peers, participating in all scheduled activities and therapy sessions, and following our structured daily schedule without exception.
We’ve established strict policies regarding personal items, phone usage, and visitation to create a focused healing environment.
Additionally, we require teens to demonstrate respect for staff and fellow residents, maintain personal hygiene standards, and keep their living spaces organized.
Our experience shows that these guidelines, while firm, create the stable, therapeutic environment necessary for successful recovery, and we’ll work closely with your teen to understand and adapt to these expectations.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Sending your teenager to an out-of-state treatment facility can provide significant therapeutic advantages. When teens receive treatment away from their familiar environment, they’re removed from negative influences and triggers that may have contributed to their substance use.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance often creates the emotional space needed for meaningful change and reflection.
We’ve also observed that out-of-state treatment helps break unhealthy peer relationships while allowing teens to form new, positive connections in our therapeutic setting.
While we’re conveniently located just 45 minutes from Manhattan, our serene New Jersey location offers the perfect balance of accessibility and separation, giving your teen the fresh start they need while maintaining family involvement through our extensive family therapy program and regular visitation opportunities.
How do I get started?
Taking the first step toward teen addiction treatment is straightforward and begins with a simple phone call to our admissions team.
During this initial contact, one of our dedicated counselors will conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment of your teen to guarantee we’re the right fit for their needs.
Once we’ve completed the pre-assessment, we’ll immediately verify your insurance benefits, if applicable, to determine coverage and out-of-pocket costs.
If you don’t have insurance, we’ll discuss alternative payment options that might work for your situation.
After managing the financial aspects, we’ll coordinate a convenient intake time that works with your schedule.
Our streamlined admission process prioritizes getting your teen the help they need without unnecessary delays or complications.
