Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that families have many questions about our teen rehab program, including concerns about insurance coverage, visitation policies, and educational support during treatment.
Our facility accepts most insurance plans for treatment costs, offers weekly Sunday visitation hours for approved family members, and provides thorough academic coordination with your teen’s home school to prevent educational disruptions.
While we primarily offer semi-private rooms to encourage positive peer interactions, our facility maintains a structured, supportive environment with extensive family involvement through regular therapy sessions, workshops, and ongoing communication with our clinical team.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance coverage for teen addiction treatment is extensive 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 mental health and substance use disorder treatments, just as they’d cover medical conditions.
We accept most major insurance plans, and our admissions team can help verify your specific coverage and benefits.
While every insurance plan is different, many families find that their out-of-pocket expenses are markedly reduced through their insurance coverage.
To understand your exact coverage and potential costs, we’ll conduct a complimentary insurance verification when you contact us.
If you don’t have insurance, we’ll work with you to investigate alternative payment options that can make treatment more accessible for your teen.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Visiting your teen during treatment is a vital aspect of their recovery journey at Montville Adolescent Center. We’ve established designated visiting hours every Sunday, allowing families to maintain essential connections while their teens progress through treatment.
Our structured visitation policy fosters a supportive, therapeutic environment that benefits both teens and their families.
To ensure safety and uphold therapeutic integrity, we require all visitors to be at least 18 years old, and visits are limited to family members and legal guardians.
Prior to any visits, our clinical staff must approve potential visitors, and family members are required to participate in a Family Support Session. This preparation ensures that visits positively contribute to your teen’s recovery process while maintaining the structured environment crucial for successful treatment outcomes.
Do you offer support to family members?
Building on our commitment to extensive care, family support forms a core component of treatment at Montville Adolescent Center. Through our thorough family therapy sessions, workshops, and educational programs, we equip families with essential tools to understand addiction, improve communication, and support their teen’s recovery journey.
We provide regular updates on your teen’s progress and offer guidance on creating a supportive home environment that promotes lasting recovery. Our family support initiatives include weekly family therapy sessions, bi-monthly educational workshops, and access to our dedicated family counselors who can address concerns as they arise.
Additionally, we encourage families to participate in our Family Support Sessions, which occur before Sunday visitations, helping to strengthen family bonds and establish healthy boundaries during the treatment process.
What educational coordination is offered?
Academic progress remains a top priority at Montville Adolescent Center through our extensive educational coordination program. We collaborate directly with each teen’s home school district to guarantee continuity in their education, maintaining proper attendance credits and curriculum alignment throughout their treatment journey.
Our program includes two dedicated hours of structured academics daily, complemented by physical education activities.
To support our students’ academic success, we’ve established partnerships with local schools that help us integrate coursework seamlessly into our treatment schedule. Our staff works closely with teachers and school administrators to gather assignments, facilitate makeup work, and guarantee our clients stay on track with their studies.
This coordinated approach allows teens to shift back to their regular academic environment without falling behind in their educational progress.
Will my teenager have their own room?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options for teens in our residential program. Our thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize comfort, safety, and personal space while fostering a therapeutic environment that supports recovery and growth.
We’ve structured our gender-specific housing floors to accommodate different rooming preferences, understanding that some teens may benefit from the privacy of their own room, while others thrive with the companionship of a carefully selected roommate.

Our rooms are monitored regularly by our attentive staff, who maintain our 1:1 staff-to-client ratio to guarantee safety and support around the clock.
Do you prescribe medications?
When it comes to prescribing medications at Montville Adolescent Center, we follow strict protocols that prioritize both safety and transparency. Before implementing any new medications or modifying existing prescriptions, we’ll discuss all changes with parents or guardians to guarantee complete understanding and agreement.
If your teen currently works with a psychiatrist or primary care provider, we’ll need you to sign our Release of Information (ROI) form, which allows us to communicate directly with these healthcare professionals throughout your child’s treatment.
This collaborative approach enables us to verify previous treatment history and effectively coordinate any medication adjustments for post-treatment care. Our medical team maintains open lines of communication with families and external providers to guarantee thorough, well-coordinated care that supports your teen’s recovery journey.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
While our medical protocols focus on proper treatment and medications, maintaining a structured, safe environment requires clear behavioral expectations for all teens in our program.

All teens must comply with our zero-tolerance policy for drugs, alcohol, violence, and inappropriate relationships.
We require everyone to attend scheduled therapy sessions, educational programs, and group activities, while maintaining proper hygiene and keeping their living spaces clean.
Additionally, we restrict cell phone and internet access to designated times, and all communication with outside contacts must be approved by our clinical team to guarantee a focused, therapeutic environment that supports recovery goals.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Seeking treatment out of state often provides valuable therapeutic advantages for teenagers struggling with addiction. The physical distance from negative influences and familiar triggers creates a fresh environment where teens can focus entirely on their recovery journey, while also reducing the chances of leaving treatment prematurely.
We’ve found that out-of-state care helps eliminate distractions from peers who may have enabled substance use.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we regularly welcome teens from across the country, providing them with a structured, supportive setting where they can build new, healthy relationships.
The geographic separation often strengthens family dynamics as well, as both parents and teens gain perspective through our family therapy programs, while our academic partnerships guarantee educational continuity during treatment.
How do I get started?
Starting your teen’s treatment journey is straightforward and begins with a simple phone call to our admissions team. During this initial contact, our dedicated counselors will conduct an extensive 10-minute pre-assessment to confirm we’re the ideal fit for your child’s specific needs.
Once we’ve completed the assessment, we’ll proceed with verifying your insurance benefits, if applicable, and coordinate a convenient time for your teen’s intake appointment.
Our admissions process emphasizes efficiency while maintaining thorough clinical evaluation standards. We recognize that seeking treatment can feel overwhelming, which is why we’ve streamlined our intake procedures to make them as smooth as possible.
Throughout the process, our experienced staff will guide you through each step, answer any questions you may have, and guarantee you’re fully informed about your teen’s treatment plan.
