Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
At Guardian Recovery’s Montville Adolescent Center, we recognize parents have many questions about our teen rehab program, including insurance coverage, visitation policies, and educational support during treatment.
We accept most major insurance plans and work closely with families to verify benefits, while also maintaining strong partnerships with local schools to guarantee academic progress continues throughout the recovery journey.
Our thorough family support includes weekly visitation opportunities on Sundays, private or semi-private room accommodations based on availability, and extensive family therapy sessions to strengthen the foundation for lasting recovery.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Yes, insurance typically covers teen rehab treatment costs, either partially or fully. Thanks to regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), insurance providers must include coverage for substance use disorder treatment as an essential health benefit.
We’re committed to helping families manage the insurance process, and we accept most major insurance plans. Our admissions counselors will verify your benefits to determine your coverage and any out-of-pocket expenses you might incur during your teen’s treatment.
If you don’t have insurance coverage, we’ll work with you to investigate alternative payment options that can make treatment more accessible. We recognize that financial concerns shouldn’t prevent your teen from receiving the care they need, which is why we offer various payment solutions.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Parents and guardians can visit their teens during designated hours on Sundays at our facility.
We recognize the importance of maintaining family connections during treatment, which is why we’ve established a structured visitation policy 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 limit visits to immediate family members and legal guardians.
Before any visits can occur, our clinical staff must approve all potential visitors, and family members are required to participate in a Family Support Session.
This preparatory session helps create a supportive environment for both teens and their families, ensuring that visitation time contributes positively to the recovery process.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family support serves as a cornerstone of our teen rehabilitation program, with extensive services designed to help parents and siblings throughout their loved one’s recovery journey.
We offer weekly family therapy sessions that address fundamental relationship dynamics, while our educational workshops help families understand addiction, mental health, and recovery processes.
Throughout treatment, we maintain consistent communication with parents through regular progress updates and therapeutic family sessions, ensuring they’re actively involved in their teen’s recovery.
Our thorough family support includes specialized counseling services, parent support groups, and educational resources that help families develop effective communication strategies and coping mechanisms.
We’ve found that when families are well-supported and educated about recovery, they’re better equipped to provide the understanding and guidance their teens need for long-term success.
What educational coordination is offered?
While supporting families remains a key priority, educational progress stands at the heart of our teen recovery program.
We’ve established strong partnerships with local school districts to guarantee your teen doesn’t fall behind academically during treatment. Our program dedicates two hours daily to structured academic pursuits, carefully integrated with each student’s home curriculum.
We coordinate directly with your teen’s school to maintain attendance credits and academic continuity, while our specialized staff provides individualized educational support in well-equipped classrooms.
Through our collaborative approach, we’re able to facilitate a seamless shift back to regular schooling post-treatment. Our educational coordination includes regular progress updates, curriculum alignment, and academic planning to guarantee your teen stays on track with their educational goals while focusing on recovery.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Room arrangements at Montville Adolescent Center include both private and semi-private options. Each accommodation is thoughtfully designed to provide a safe, comfortable environment that supports our teens’ recovery journey, with gender-specific housing floors ensuring appropriate separation and privacy.
We’ve structured our living spaces to balance our clients’ need for personal space with opportunities for healthy social interaction. While private rooms are available, many of our teens benefit from sharing semi-private accommodations, which can help develop important social skills and peer support networks during treatment.
Our staff carefully considers each teen’s specific needs, circumstances, and therapeutic goals when making room assignments, and we’re always mindful of creating living arrangements that contribute positively to the recovery process.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medication management at Montville Adolescent Center follows strict protocols that prioritize both safety and transparency. When prescribing or adjusting medications, we’ll always discuss changes with parents or guardians before implementation, guaranteeing you’re fully informed about your teen’s treatment plan.
To provide thorough care, we request that you sign our Release of Information (ROI) form if your teen currently has a psychiatrist or primary care provider. This authorization allows us to communicate effectively with their existing healthcare providers, verify previous treatments, and coordinate any medication modifications during their stay.
Additionally, this collaboration guarantees a smooth shift for post-treatment care, as we’ll share detailed information about any new prescriptions or adjustments made during their time with us.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Beyond our medication protocols, structure and guidelines play an essential role in our treatment program. We maintain clear expectations for all teens in our care, including adherence to scheduled activities, respect for staff and peers, and participation in all therapeutic sessions.
Our rules emphasize maintaining appropriate boundaries, following dress codes, and refraining from any physical contact or aggressive behavior.
During their stay, we require teens to attend all scheduled groups, therapy sessions, and academic programs, while maintaining proper self-care and hygiene standards.
We don’t allow personal electronic devices, and communication with family occurs during designated times through approved channels.
Additionally, we enforce strict policies regarding contraband items, and all personal belongings are thoroughly searched upon admission to guarantee everyone’s safety and focus on recovery.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
In addition to providing physical distance from triggers and negative influences, out-of-state treatment can offer several distinct advantages for teens struggling with substance use.
Out-of-state care often creates a fresh environment where teens can focus entirely on their recovery, free from local peer pressure and familiar temptations. We’ve found that geographical separation can help reset unhealthy relationship patterns and give families the space needed to heal and rebuild.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we regularly work with out-of-state families who appreciate our thorough approach, including our academic continuity program that guarantees their teens won’t fall behind in school.
While we’re conveniently located just 45 minutes from Manhattan, this strategic distance helps create the ideal balance of accessibility and separation needed for effective treatment.
How do I get started?
Getting started with our teen rehab program involves a straightforward three-step process.
First, you’ll connect with our admissions team who’ll conduct a brief, 10-minute phone assessment to guarantee our program aligns with your teen’s needs. During this conversation, we’ll gather essential information about your child’s situation and answer any questions you may have about our treatment approaches.
Next, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and discuss payment options to determine coverage and out-of-pocket costs.
