Most insurance plans cover teen addiction treatment, 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 include coverage for mental health and substance use disorder treatment as essential health benefits, preventing them from imposing unfair limitations on addiction care.
We’ll work directly with your insurance company to verify your benefits and determine coverage levels for our programs, including detox, residential treatment, and virtual care options.

Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Parents and guardians can visit their teens at our facility during designated hours every Sunday.
We recognize the importance of maintaining family connections during treatment, which is why we’ve established a structured visitation program that supports our therapeutic goals while keeping families connected.
To ensure the safety and well-being of all our residents, we require visitors to be at least 18 years old and limited to immediate family members and legal guardians.
Before any visits can occur, our clinical staff must approve all potential visitors, and families are required to participate in a Family Support Session.
This comprehensive approach allows us to maintain a therapeutic environment while fostering the vital family relationships that contribute significantly to successful long-term recovery outcomes.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family support plays a central role in our treatment approach, with extensive services designed specifically for parents, siblings, and other family members.
We offer weekly family therapy sessions that help address underlying issues, improve communication patterns, and build stronger relationships during the recovery journey.
In addition to therapy, we provide thorough educational workshops where family members can learn about addiction, mental health, and effective support strategies.
Our Family Support Sessions, which are required before visitation, help families understand the treatment process and develop tools for supporting their teen’s recovery.
We’ll keep you informed about your teen’s progress through regular updates from our clinical team, and we’re always available to address concerns or questions that arise during your child’s stay with us.

Our daily schedule includes two dedicated hours of structured academic instruction, complemented by physical education activities.
To support your teen’s educational journey, we’ll work directly with their teachers and school administrators to align our curriculum with their existing coursework.
We recognize that keeping up with academics is vital for a successful shift back to regular school life after treatment, which is why we maintain ongoing communication with school districts and provide regular progress updates.
Our staff coordinates assignments, testing requirements, and educational accommodations as needed.
Will my teenager have their own room?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options for our teenage residents. Our thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize comfort, safety, and personal space while maintaining a therapeutic environment that supports recovery and healing.
We’ve structured our gender-specific housing floors to guarantee appropriate separation and privacy for all clients.

All rooms are monitored regularly by our attentive staff, maintaining our commitment to a 1:1 staff-to-client ratio that guarantees constant supervision and support throughout the treatment program.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medication management plays an essential role in our extensive treatment approach at Montville Adolescent Center. When any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions are being considered, we’ll first discuss these with parents or guardians to guarantee informed decisions about their teen’s care.
We prioritize collaboration with your teen’s current healthcare providers, which is why we request that families sign our Release of Information (ROI) form. This documentation allows us to communicate directly with your child’s psychiatrist or primary care provider, enabling us to verify previous treatment protocols and coordinate any medication adjustments.
Through this coordinated approach, we’re able to guarantee continuity of care and establish an effective medication plan that will support your teen’s treatment journey, both during their stay and after they return home.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Structure and discipline form the foundation of our teen rehabilitation program. We maintain clear behavioral expectations and rules that help create a safe, supportive environment where recovery can flourish.
During their stay, teens must follow our structured daily schedule, which includes medical check-ins, therapy sessions, academic work, and designated recreation times.

We’ve designed these guidelines to foster responsibility, accountability, and personal growth while ensuring everyone’s safety and comfort.
Additionally, we require teens to maintain appropriate dress codes, follow technology usage restrictions, and participate in daily room organization and personal hygiene routines.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Beyond our facility’s extensive rules and structure, many parents wonder about the advantages of choosing out-of-state treatment for their teen.
We’ve found that distance from familiar triggers and negative influences often creates a significant reset opportunity, allowing teenagers to focus entirely on their recovery journey. Additionally, the physical separation helps break unhealthy local relationships and patterns that may have contributed to substance use.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’re conveniently located just 45 minutes from Manhattan, making us accessible while providing enough distance for a fresh start.
Our experience shows that teens who travel for treatment often demonstrate increased commitment to the program, as the geographical separation naturally minimizes distractions and strengthens their dedication to personal growth and healing.
