Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that families often have important questions about our teen treatment program, including concerns about insurance coverage, visitation policies, and educational continuity during their child’s stay.
Our thorough FAQ section addresses common inquiries about family support services, insurance verification, academic coordination with home schools, and semi-private room arrangements to guarantee parents have the information needed to make informed decisions.
Through our dedicated admissions team, we’re ready to provide detailed answers about our program specifics, including our Sunday visitation policy, family therapy sessions, and how we maintain educational progress while teens focus on their recovery journey.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Most insurance plans cover addiction treatment for teens, thanks to key federal regulations like 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.
We accept most major insurance plans, and we’ll work directly with your provider to maximize your coverage for treatment services. Under these federal regulations, insurance companies must provide coverage for substance use disorder treatment at levels comparable to medical and surgical benefits.
Our admissions team can verify your benefits and explain your coverage options, including any deductibles or co-pays you may be responsible for. If you don’t have insurance, we can discuss alternative payment arrangements to guarantee your teen gets the care they need.
We’re committed to making treatment accessible and will help you understand all available financial options.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Regular family visitation is permitted and encouraged for teens in our treatment program. We schedule visitation hours every Sunday, understanding that maintaining family connections is essential for successful recovery outcomes.
During these structured visits, we welcome family members and legal guardians who are 18 years or older to participate in meaningful interactions with their teens.
Before any visits can take place, we require all potential visitors to receive approval from our clinical staff and attend one of our Family Support Sessions, which helps create a supportive environment that aligns with your teen’s treatment goals.
This process guarantees that visitation reinforces the therapeutic progress being made in our program, while our professional staff remains available to address any questions or concerns that may arise during these important family connections.
Do you offer support to family members?
As a cornerstone of our treatment philosophy, extensive family support services help parents and siblings steer through their teen’s recovery journey.
We provide thorough family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and support groups that address the complex dynamics of addiction’s impact on the entire family unit. Through our family-centric approach, we’ll guide you in understanding your teen’s challenges while developing essential communication and coping skills.
Our family support services include:
– Weekly family therapy sessions
– Regular progress updates from our clinical team
– Educational workshops on addiction and recovery
– Parent support groups
– Family visitation coordination
– Post-treatment planning assistance
We believe that healing happens together, which is why we’re committed to empowering families with the tools and knowledge they need to support their teen’s long-term recovery success.
What educational coordination is offered?
Beyond family support, education remains a key priority during treatment. We partner directly with each teen’s home school district to guarantee they don’t fall behind academically while receiving care.
Our program includes two hours of structured academic time daily, where we carefully integrate their school’s curriculum into our therapeutic environment.
We’ve developed an extensive system to maintain educational continuity, coordinating with teachers and counselors to facilitate attendance credits and track academic progress.
Our education specialists work closely with your teen’s school to gather assignments, arrange for testing when needed, and guarantee a seamless shift back to regular classes after treatment.
We’ll also provide detailed progress reports and maintain open communication with school administrators throughout your teen’s stay.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Privacy and comfort are important considerations during treatment. At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options to accommodate our teenage clients’ needs during their recovery journey.
While private rooms are available, many of our clients benefit from sharing a room with one carefully selected peer, as this arrangement can help foster accountability and social connection during treatment.
Our gender-specific housing floors guarantee additional privacy and comfort, with thoughtfully designed living spaces that create a therapeutic environment.
Each room is equipped with essential amenities and maintains appropriate security measures, while still feeling welcoming and home-like.
We’ve found that this balanced approach to room arrangements helps teens feel both safe and supported throughout their treatment process, whether they’re in a private or semi-private setting.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medical care and medication management form a fundamental part of our treatment approach at Montville Adolescent Center.
When it comes to prescribing medications, we guarantee transparent communication with parents and guardians, discussing any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions before implementation.
If your teen currently works with a psychiatrist or primary care provider, we’ll ask you to complete a Release of Information (ROI) form, which enables us to coordinate effectively with their existing healthcare team.
This collaboration allows us to verify previous treatments and guarantee continuity of care, while also communicating any medication adjustments that may be necessary during their stay.
After treatment, we’ll provide detailed information about medication protocols to support your teen’s ongoing recovery journey.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we maintain clear behavioral guidelines to create a safe, structured environment that promotes recovery. All teens must participate in daily therapy sessions, academic work, and group activities, while following our structured schedule that includes designated times for meals, recreation, and rest.
We require respectful communication with staff and peers, prohibit the use or possession of drugs and alcohol, and don’t allow personal electronic devices during treatment.
Additionally, we enforce guidelines around appropriate dress code, personal boundaries, and maintaining clean living spaces.
While these rules may seem strict, they’re essential for creating the therapeutic environment needed for successful recovery. Our staff works closely with teens to help them understand and adapt to these expectations, which ultimately contribute to their growth and healing process.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
While structure and rules form the foundation of our treatment program, choosing an out-of-state facility can offer distinct advantages for your teen’s recovery journey.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences often allows teens to focus more intently on their recovery process. The change in environment can create a fresh perspective, while separation from problematic peer groups helps break destructive patterns.
Additionally, our location’s accessibility, just 45 minutes from Manhattan and two hours from Philadelphia, means family involvement remains possible through our structured visitation program and family therapy sessions.
We’ve designed our program to help teens develop new coping mechanisms and build healthier relationships, all while maintaining academic progress through our partnerships with local schools.
How do I get started?
Starting the recovery journey for your teen is straightforward and begins with a simple phone call to our admissions team.
During this initial conversation, we’ll conduct a brief 10-minute pre-assessment to guarantee our program aligns with your teen’s specific needs and circumstances.
Once we’ve completed the pre-assessment, our team will verify your insurance benefits and discuss any financial considerations, making sure you understand the coverage available for your teen’s treatment.
We’ll then work with you to arrange a convenient intake time, where we’ll complete necessary paperwork and begin the admission process.
Throughout this process, our dedicated admissions counselors will guide you every step of the way, answering questions and addressing concerns to facilitate a smooth shift into our program at Montville Adolescent Center.
