Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that families have many important questions about our teen rehab program, from insurance coverage and visitation policies to educational support and living arrangements.
Through our thorough insurance verification process, most families find that their insurance covers a significant portion of treatment costs, while our weekly family visitation days and educational coordination with home schools maintain ongoing connection and academic progress.
Our facility offers both private and semi-private rooms, depending on availability and clinical recommendations, and we maintain an open line of communication with parents regarding their teen’s treatment progress, medication management, and therapeutic development.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance coverage for teen addiction treatment is typically extensive, thanks to key healthcare laws like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
These laws require insurance providers to cover essential mental health and substance use disorder treatments, guaranteeing that your teen’s rehabilitation needs are addressed without unfair limitations or restrictions.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we accept most major insurance plans and work diligently to maximize your benefits for both detox and treatment services. We’ll help verify your coverage and explain any out-of-pocket costs before admission begins.
If you don’t have insurance, we’re committed to discussing alternative payment options to guarantee your teen receives the care they need.
Contact our admissions team for a confidential insurance verification and detailed cost breakdown.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Family connection remains an essential part of the recovery journey at Montville Adolescent Center. We welcome family visits during our designated Sunday visitation hours, understanding how significant ongoing support is for teens in treatment.
To guarantee a therapeutic environment, we’ve established clear guidelines for these important family connections.
Our visitation policy includes several key requirements: visitors must be family members or guardians who are at least 18 years old, all potential visitors need prior approval from our clinical staff, and attendance at a Family Support Session is mandatory before the first visit.
Through these structured visits, we’re able to maintain both the safety of our residents and the integrity of their treatment program while fostering the critical family bonds that support long-term recovery success.
Do you offer support to family members?
Building on our commitment to family involvement, extensive support services extend well beyond regular visitation hours. We provide thorough family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular progress updates to guarantee parents and guardians remain actively engaged in their teen’s recovery journey.
Our dedicated family support program includes weekly family therapy sessions, where we address underlying family dynamics and develop stronger communication patterns.
Our educational workshops help families understand addiction, mental health, and effective support strategies. Through our secure communication channels, we keep families updated on their teen’s progress, medication changes, and treatment milestones, assuring transparency throughout the recovery process.
Additionally, we offer post-treatment planning sessions to help families prepare for their teen’s successful shift back home.
What educational coordination is offered?
Academic success remains a top priority during treatment at Montville Adolescent Center. We actively partner with each teen’s home school district to maintain academic continuity and guarantee they don’t fall behind during their recovery journey.
Our program includes two hours of structured academic time daily, where students can complete coursework and receive individualized support.
We’ve established strong relationships with local schools to coordinate curriculum alignment, attendance credits, and educational requirements. Our staff works closely with teachers and guidance counselors to create tailored academic plans that integrate seamlessly with treatment schedules.
During their stay, we provide regular progress updates to schools and families, helping to facilitate a smooth shift back to regular classes after treatment completion. Our goal is to support both recovery and educational achievement simultaneously.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Montville Adolescent Center offers both private and semi-private room options for teens in treatment.
We recognize that having personal space during recovery is essential, which is why we’ve designed our accommodations to support both individual reflection and healthy social interaction. Our gender-specific housing floors guarantee appropriate boundaries and comfort for all residents.
When determining room assignments, our clinical team carefully considers each teen’s specific needs, treatment goals, and therapeutic requirements.
While private rooms may benefit some clients who need additional space for processing or have specific medical considerations, our semi-private rooms can foster peer support and accountability, which are valuable components of the recovery journey.
We regularly evaluate room arrangements to verify they continue supporting each teen’s treatment progress.
Do you prescribe medications?
At our facility, we maintain strict protocols around medication management under the supervision of licensed medical professionals. Before making any changes to your teen’s medication regimen, we’ll thoroughly discuss new prescriptions or adjustments with you, as the parent or guardian, to guarantee you’re fully informed and comfortable with the treatment plan.
To provide thorough care coordination, we ask that you sign a Release of Information form if your teen currently has a psychiatrist or primary care provider. This documentation allows us to communicate effectively with their existing healthcare team, verify previous treatments, and share any medication modifications we implement during their stay.
Through this collaborative approach, we guarantee seamless continuity of care and proper medication management both during and after your teen’s treatment program.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Just as we carefully manage medications, we maintain clear behavioral expectations for all teens in our program. Our structured environment requires teens to follow daily schedules, participate in all therapeutic activities, and demonstrate respect for staff and peers.
While in treatment at Montville Adolescent Center, we expect teens to maintain appropriate boundaries, use respectful language, and comply with our no-contact policy between residents.
We’ve established these rules to create a safe, therapeutic environment that promotes recovery and personal growth. During their stay, teens must attend all scheduled sessions, complete assigned therapeutic work, and follow our dress code guidelines.
Additionally, we restrict personal electronics and monitor communication with the outside world to help teens focus on their recovery journey while maintaining essential family connections through supervised visits and scheduled phone calls.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Several important benefits come with choosing out-of-state treatment for your teenager.
First, physical distance from negative peer influences and familiar triggers can help create a fresh start, allowing your teen to focus entirely on their recovery journey.
Additionally, we’ve found that out-of-state treatment often reduces the likelihood of leaving treatment early, as the geographical separation naturally minimizes impulsive decisions to return home.
At Montville Adolescent Center, located just 45 minutes from Manhattan, we’ve designed our program to make the shift smoother for out-of-state clients through our extensive academic support, which guarantees your teen stays on track with their education.
Our family therapy sessions are structured to maintain strong connections despite the distance, and we provide regular updates to keep you involved in your teen’s progress.
How do I get started?
While exploring treatment options for your teen is an important step, taking action is straightforward. Our streamlined admission process begins with a brief phone call to our dedicated counselors, who’ll conduct a 10-minute pre-assessment to confirm we’re the right fit for your child’s specific needs.
After completing the initial assessment, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and discuss any additional payment options that may be necessary.
Once we’ve addressed the financial aspects, we’ll work with you to arrange a convenient intake time that accommodates your schedule.
Our admissions team understands this can be an overwhelming process, which is why we’re committed to making it as simple as possible, guiding you through each step with compassion and expertise.
