Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that families often have pressing questions about our teen treatment program, including concerns about insurance coverage, visitation policies, and educational continuity during their teenager’s stay.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we accept most major insurance plans, offer weekly family visitation on Sundays, provide extensive academic support through partnerships with local schools, and maintain both private and semi-private room options for our residents.
Through our family-centric approach, we keep parents actively involved in their teen’s recovery journey by offering regular updates, family therapy sessions, and educational workshops, while our professional staff coordinates all aspects of treatment, from medical care to academic progress.
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).
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we accept most major insurance plans, and we’ll help verify your coverage before beginning treatment.
The ACA requires insurance companies to cover essential health benefits, including substance use disorder treatment, while the MHPAEA guarantees that mental health and addiction benefits aren’t limited unfairly.
We recognize that managing insurance coverage can feel overwhelming, which is why our admissions team will work directly with your insurance provider to determine your exact benefits and any out-of-pocket expenses.
If you don’t have insurance, we’ll discuss alternative payment options to make certain your teen gets the care they need.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Family involvement plays an essential role in teen recovery, which is why Montville Adolescent Center welcomes supervised visits every Sunday during designated hours.
To ensure the safety and therapeutic progress of all our clients, we’ve established specific guidelines for family visits, including limiting visitors to family members and legal guardians who are at least 18 years old.
Before any visitation can occur, we require all potential visitors to receive approval from our clinical staff and participate in our Family Support Session, which helps create a supportive environment for recovery.
During these sessions, we’ll provide guidance on productive communication strategies and discuss your teen’s progress in treatment.
We’ve found that this structured approach to family visits helps strengthen the foundation for long-term recovery while maintaining appropriate boundaries within our therapeutic setting.
Do you offer support to family members?
Three core pillars form the foundation of our family support system at Montville Adolescent Center: family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and ongoing communication support.
We recognize that addiction affects the entire family unit, which is why we’ve developed extensive programs that include weekly family therapy sessions to address underlying dynamics and strengthen relationships.
Through our educational workshops, we provide parents and guardians with essential information about substance use disorders, coping strategies, and effective communication techniques.
Additionally, we maintain regular contact with families through progress updates and our dedicated family liaison program, ensuring that parents stay informed about their teen’s treatment journey.
We also offer post-treatment family support groups and resources to help maintain positive changes long after the program ends.
What educational coordination is offered?
Educational progress remains a top priority at Montville Adolescent Center, where we maintain strong partnerships with each teen’s home school district.
Through daily structured academic sessions, including two hours of dedicated classroom time, we guarantee that students stay on track with their studies while receiving treatment.
We’ll coordinate directly with your teen’s teachers and guidance counselors to align our curriculum with their academic requirements, facilitating attendance credits and maintaining educational continuity.
Our staff works to obtain current assignments, coordinate testing schedules, and provide progress updates to help students shift smoothly back to their regular academic environment.
Additionally, we’ll communicate regularly with parents and school administrators to address any educational concerns that arise during treatment, ensuring that your teen’s academic future isn’t compromised by their recovery journey.
Will my teenager have their own room?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options for our teen residents. Our thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize comfort, safety, and a sense of personal space during the recovery journey, with gender-specific housing floors that help guarantee appropriate boundaries and privacy.
We understand that having a comfortable living environment is essential for therapeutic success, which is why our rooms are carefully arranged to promote both rest and reflection.
While private rooms are available, many of our teens benefit from the structured social interaction and peer support that comes with sharing a semi-private room.
Our clinical team works closely with families to determine the most appropriate room arrangement based on each teen’s specific needs, treatment goals, and therapeutic considerations.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medication management decisions at Montville Adolescent Center are always made in partnership with parents and guardians. Before making any changes to existing medications or prescribing new ones, our medical team thoroughly discusses options with families to guarantee informed decisions about their teen’s care.
We prioritize clear communication between all healthcare providers involved in your teen’s treatment journey. If your child currently works with a psychiatrist or primary care provider, we’ll request that you sign a Release of Information (ROI) form, which allows us to coordinate effectively with these professionals.
This collaboration enables us to verify previous treatment protocols and communicate any medication adjustments that may occur during your teen’s stay, guaranteeing seamless continuity of care both during treatment and after discharge.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Our residential treatment program maintains clear behavioral expectations and guidelines to create a safe, therapeutic environment for all teens.
We require all clients to follow basic rules, including attending all scheduled therapy sessions, participating in group activities, respecting personal boundaries, and maintaining a substance-free environment.
Additionally, we’ve established guidelines around appropriate dress code, restricted items (such as phones and electronics), and structured daily schedules that include wake-up times, meal periods, and designated quiet hours.
While these rules may seem strict, they’re essential for fostering recovery, building healthy routines, and ensuring everyone’s safety and comfort.
We work closely with each teen to help them understand and adapt to these expectations, viewing them as stepping stones toward developing self-discipline and accountability.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
While our facility maintains clear guidelines and structure, many parents wonder about the advantages of choosing an out-of-state treatment center for their teen.
We’ve found that physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences often creates a vital psychological barrier, allowing teens to focus completely on their recovery journey. Additionally, out-of-state treatment can provide a fresh perspective and environment, free from the pressures of local peer groups or challenging family dynamics.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’re centrally located just 45 minutes from Manhattan and 2 hours from Philadelphia, making us accessible while still providing that beneficial separation.
Our experience shows that this strategic distance, combined with our thorough family therapy program and regular communication updates, helps create the ideal balance between therapeutic isolation and maintained family connections.
How do I get started?
Getting started with teen addiction treatment follows a straightforward three-step process.
First, contact our admissions team to initiate a pre-assessment call, which takes approximately 10 minutes and helps us determine if Montville Adolescent Center is the right fit for your teen’s specific needs.
Next, we’ll verify your insurance benefits or discuss alternative payment options to guarantee you grasp the financial aspects of treatment.
Finally, once we’ve confirmed program compatibility and coverage details, we’ll schedule your teen’s intake appointment at our Towaco, New Jersey facility.
Throughout this process, our dedicated admissions counselors will guide you every step of the way, answering questions and addressing concerns while ensuring a smooth shift into our program.
We recognize this can feel overwhelming, which is why we’ve streamlined our admission process to be as efficient and supportive as possible.
