Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We acknowledge that choosing a teen rehab program raises many important questions about insurance coverage, family involvement, and your child’s daily experience during treatment.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we work with most major insurance providers, maintain regular family engagement through Sunday visitation hours and therapy sessions, and offer thorough academic coordination with your teen’s home school district.
Our facility provides both private and semi-private room options, and we’re committed to addressing all your concerns about treatment, from medication management to educational support, through our experienced clinical team.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers most or all costs associated with teen addiction treatment, thanks to mandated coverage under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA). That said, coverage varies by provider and plan, and costs vary accordingly.
These federal laws guarantee that insurance providers must include coverage for mental health and substance use disorder treatment as essential health benefits.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ll work directly with your insurance company to maximize your benefits and determine your coverage levels.
While we accept most major insurance plans, we recognize that maneuvering through insurance benefits can be overwhelming, which is why our admissions team will verify your coverage and explain your benefits in detail.
We’re also happy to discuss alternative payment options if needed, making sure that your teen can access the crucial treatment they require for lasting recovery.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
During your teen’s stay at Montville Adolescent Center, family visits take place every Sunday during designated hours. We welcome family members and legal guardians who are 18 years or older to participate in these important connection opportunities, though all visitors must receive prior approval from our clinical staff.
As part of our commitment to supporting family involvement in the recovery process, we require visitors to attend a Family Support Session before visitation. These sessions help families understand their teen’s treatment progress and provide tools for maintaining healthy relationships during and after treatment.
We’ve structured our visitation policy to balance your teen’s need for family connection with their therapeutic journey, ensuring that visits contribute positively to their recovery while maintaining the program’s therapeutic environment.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family involvement forms a cornerstone of our extensive treatment approach at Montville Adolescent Center. We provide thorough support through regular family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and weekly progress updates to help parents and siblings understand and participate in their teen’s recovery journey.
Our dedicated family program includes psychoeducational groups where families learn about addiction, mental health, and effective communication strategies.
In addition to our Sunday visitation hours, we offer specialized family support sessions that must be attended before visits, ensuring that family members are equipped with the tools and knowledge to support their teen’s recovery.
Through our 1:1 staff-to-client ratio, we’re able to maintain consistent communication with families, providing detailed updates about treatment progress and collaborating on long-term recovery planning.
What educational coordination is offered?
Academic coordination at Montville Adolescent Center prioritizes educational continuity through established partnerships with local school districts. We dedicate two hours daily to structured academic pursuits, ensuring our teens don’t fall behind while receiving treatment.
We actively collaborate with each student’s home school to maintain proper curriculum alignment and attendance credits.
Our thorough educational support includes working directly with school administrators and teachers to gather current assignments, coordinate testing schedules, and facilitate a seamless shift back to regular classes after treatment.
We’re committed to helping students maintain their academic standing through individualized educational plans that complement their treatment journey, while our 1:1 staff-to-client ratio allows us to provide personalized academic assistance when needed.
Will my teenager have their own room?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options for our teen residents. Our thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize comfort, safety, and personal space while promoting a therapeutic environment conducive to recovery and growth.
While we can’t promise private rooms for every resident, we carefully consider each teen’s specific needs, clinical requirements, and treatment goals when making room assignments.
For teens who may benefit from additional peer support and social interaction, our semi-private rooms offer an opportunity to develop healthy relationships and communication skills under staff supervision.
Each room, whether private or shared, is located on gender-specific housing floors and includes essential amenities to guarantee our residents feel secure and comfortable throughout their treatment journey.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medication management plays an essential role in our thorough treatment approach at Montville Adolescent Center. Before making any medication-related decisions, we engage in detailed discussions with parents and guardians to guarantee transparency and informed consent for all treatment protocols.
Our medical team carefully evaluates each teen’s needs and existing prescriptions to develop an appropriate medication plan.
For teens who already have a psychiatrist or primary care provider, we request that families sign our Release of Information (ROI) form, which allows us to communicate effectively with these healthcare professionals.
This collaboration enables us to verify previous treatments and coordinate any necessary medication adjustments during your teen’s stay, while guaranteeing seamless communication about medication changes that may impact post-treatment care.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Treatment’s success relies on a structured environment with clear behavioral expectations and guidelines. At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve established rules that promote safety, respect, and recovery for all our clients, including mandatory participation in therapy sessions, adherence to daily schedules, and maintaining appropriate boundaries with peers and staff.
Our teens must follow specific guidelines regarding personal conduct, such as respecting others’ personal space, using appropriate language, and participating actively in group activities.
We don’t permit cell phones or personal electronic devices during treatment, as we’ve found this helps clients focus on their recovery journey. Additionally, we require all residents to maintain proper hygiene, keep their living spaces tidy, and follow our dress code, which promotes both comfort and modesty.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Sending your teenager to an out-of-state facility often provides distinct therapeutic advantages. At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences creates a fresh environment for healing and personal growth.
This separation allows teens to focus entirely on their recovery without daily distractions or pressures from their usual social circles. Additionally, out-of-state treatment offers the opportunity for a genuine reset, as teens can’t easily leave the program when treatment becomes challenging.
We’ve observed that this geographical boundary often strengthens commitment to recovery, while our collaboration with local schools guarantees educational continuity. For many families, choosing an out-of-state facility like ours means accessing specialized programs and therapeutic approaches that mightn’t be available closer to home.
How do I get started?
When you’re ready to begin treatment for your teenager, our streamlined admission process makes getting started straightforward and stress-free.
The journey begins with a simple phone call to our admissions team, where we’ll conduct a brief 10-minute pre-assessment to guarantee our program aligns with your teen’s needs.
After completing the initial assessment, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and discuss payment options that work best for your family’s situation.
Once these details are confirmed, we’ll schedule an intake appointment at our Montville Adolescent Center in Towaco, where our experienced staff will welcome you and your teenager.
Throughout this process, we’ll work closely with you to gather necessary medical records, complete required documentation, and address any questions or concerns you may have about the treatment program.
