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.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’re committed to providing thorough answers about insurance verification, our Sunday family visits, academic partnerships with local schools, and both private and semi-private room options.
Through our family-centered approach, we collaborate closely with parents and guardians, offering regular updates, family therapy sessions, and educational workshops to guarantee everyone feels supported throughout the treatment journey.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Many parents are relieved to learn that insurance typically covers all or part of teen addiction treatment costs.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we work with most major insurance providers, and thanks to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), coverage for substance use treatment is now more accessible than ever.
We understand that managing insurance benefits can feel overwhelming, which is why our admissions team is here to help verify your coverage and explain your benefits in detail.
When you contact us, we’ll conduct a complimentary insurance verification to determine your exact coverage levels, out-of-pocket expenses, and any additional payment options that might be available to guarantee your teen receives the care they need.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
While navigating insurance coverage is important, parents often want to know about staying connected with their teen during treatment.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve established structured visitation protocols that support family involvement while maintaining our therapeutic environment. Families can visit their teens during designated hours on Sundays, though we require visitors to be family members or guardians who are at least 18 years old.
To ensure the safety and therapeutic progress of all our clients, we carefully screen and approve all visitors through our clinical staff beforehand. Additionally, we require family members to participate in a Family Support Session prior to visitation, which helps create a more meaningful and therapeutically beneficial interaction between teens and their loved ones during these important visits.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family support forms a cornerstone of our thorough teen treatment program at Montville Adolescent Center. We actively engage families through thorough therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular progress updates, ensuring parents and guardians remain integral parts of their teen’s recovery journey.
Our family support services include weekly family therapy sessions, where we address underlying dynamics and develop stronger communication patterns. We also offer monthly educational workshops that help families understand addiction, mental health, and effective coping strategies.
Throughout treatment, we maintain consistent communication with families through progress updates and therapeutic consultations. Our dedicated Family Support Sessions prepare loved ones for visitation and provide essential tools for supporting their teen’s recovery.
Additionally, we connect families with community resources and support groups for continued assistance after treatment.
What educational coordination is offered?
Educational progress remains a top priority at Montville Adolescent Center. We collaborate directly with each teen’s home school district to guarantee they don’t fall behind academically during treatment, maintaining full attendance credits and curriculum alignment throughout their stay.
Our program integrates two dedicated hours of structured academics daily, alongside physical education activities.
To support our students’ educational journey, we’ve established partnerships with local schools, allowing for seamless curriculum integration and credit transfer.
Our educational coordinators work closely with school administrators and teachers to obtain current assignments, facilitate testing requirements, and confirm all coursework aligns with academic standards.
Additionally, we provide progress updates to both families and schools, creating an extensive support system that helps teens maintain their academic momentum while focusing on recovery.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Along with our academic support, we recognize parents have questions about their teen’s living arrangements during treatment. At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options in our gender-specific housing floors, ensuring comfort and appropriate accommodations during your teen’s stay.
Our thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize safety, privacy, and a therapeutic environment that supports recovery.
We’ve carefully structured our residential arrangements to balance personal space with opportunities for positive peer interaction, which is essential for therapeutic progress.
While room assignments depend on various clinical factors and availability, we’ll work with you to determine the most suitable arrangement for your teenager’s specific needs and circumstances, always maintaining our commitment to providing a secure, nurturing environment that promotes healing and growth.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medication management is an integral part of our extensive treatment approach at Montville Adolescent Center.
We’ll discuss any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions with parents or guardians before implementing them, guaranteeing full transparency in your teen’s treatment plan.
If your teen currently works with a psychiatrist or primary care provider, we’ll need you to complete our Release of Information (ROI) form.
This documentation allows us to communicate effectively with your teen’s existing healthcare providers, verify their treatment history, and coordinate any medication adjustments during their stay with us.
Through this collaborative approach, we’re able to guarantee continuity of care and seamlessly integrate any new medication protocols into your teen’s post-treatment plan while maintaining open communication with your family.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Structure and discipline play essential roles in our teen rehabilitation program, so we maintain clear behavioral guidelines that all residents must follow. During their stay, teens must participate in all scheduled activities, including therapy sessions, academic work, and group meetings, while maintaining appropriate behavior and respect toward staff and peers.
We’ve established strict policies regarding contraband items, personal electronics usage, and communication with those outside the facility to guarantee a focused recovery environment.
Additionally, we require teens to follow our daily schedule, maintain personal hygiene and living space cleanliness, and adhere to our dress code policy. While these rules may seem stringent, they’re designed to create a therapeutic environment that promotes accountability, personal growth, and successful recovery outcomes for all our residents.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Choosing an out-of-state treatment facility for your teen can offer several distinct advantages. At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance from familiar environments often helps break destructive patterns and relationships that may have contributed to substance use.
The change in location creates a fresh perspective, allowing teens to focus entirely on their recovery without daily triggers or negative influences.
We’re located just 45 minutes from Manhattan, making us accessible while providing enough separation for meaningful change. Our serene New Jersey setting offers your teen the opportunity to heal in a new environment, while our structured program, including academic support and family therapy, guarantees they’ll stay on track with their educational goals.
Additionally, treatment away from home can help rebuild family dynamics through planned, therapeutic interactions.
How do I get started?
Getting started with teen addiction treatment is a straightforward process at Montville Adolescent Center. When you contact our admissions team, we’ll guide you through a brief 10-minute pre-assessment over the phone to confirm we’re the right fit for your teenager’s specific needs.
After completing the initial assessment, our dedicated team will verify your insurance benefits, if applicable, and discuss any additional payment options that may be available to you.
We’ll then work with you to arrange a convenient intake time that accommodates your schedule. Throughout this process, our experienced admissions counselors will answer your questions, address your concerns, and provide clear guidance on what to expect during your teen’s treatment journey.
We recognize this can feel overwhelming, which is why we’ve streamlined our admission process to be as efficient as possible.
