Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize parents have many questions about our teen rehab programs, including concerns about insurance coverage, visitation policies, family support services, educational continuity, and living arrangements.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we work closely with most insurance providers to maximize coverage, offer weekly family visitation and therapy sessions, and maintain strong partnerships with local schools to keep teens on track academically.
Our facility provides both private and semi-private rooms in a structured, supportive environment where teens receive extensive care while staying connected to their families and education.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers most or all costs associated with teen addiction treatment, thanks to 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’ll help verify your specific insurance coverage and explain your benefits in detail, as coverage can vary between different insurance providers and plans. Our admissions team works closely with insurance companies to maximize your benefits and determine any out-of-pocket expenses you might incur.
For families without insurance coverage, we offer various payment options and can discuss financial arrangements that make treatment accessible. We believe that cost shouldn’t be a barrier to getting help, which is why we accept most major insurance plans and work diligently to make treatment as affordable as possible for every family.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
During treatment at Montville Adolescent Center, parents and guardians can visit their teens on Sundays during designated hours.
We recognize the significance of maintaining family connections throughout the recovery process, which is why we’ve established clear visitation protocols to support these essential relationships.
To guarantee a therapeutic environment, we require all visitors to be at least 18 years old and limited to immediate family members or legal guardians.
Before any visits can occur, our clinical staff must approve each visitor, and family members are required to participate in a Family Support Session.
This preparation helps create meaningful interactions that complement your teen’s treatment journey while maintaining the structure and safety of our program.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family support services form a cornerstone of our teen treatment program at Montville Adolescent Center. We recognize that addiction affects the entire family unit, which is why we’ve developed extensive support services that include weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular progress updates to keep parents fully involved in their teen’s recovery journey.
Through our family-centric approach, we offer specialized guidance on communication strategies, boundary-setting techniques, and relapse prevention planning that families can implement at home.
Our licensed family therapists work closely with parents and guardians to address underlying family dynamics, develop healthier interaction patterns, and create a strong support system for long-term recovery.
Additionally, we provide resources and referrals to community support groups, ensuring families have continued assistance even after their teen completes our program.
What educational coordination is offered?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we maintain strong partnerships with each teen’s home school district to guarantee their academic progress continues during treatment. Our program dedicates two hours daily to structured academic pursuits, ensuring students don’t fall behind in their studies while focusing on their recovery.
We’ve developed a thorough educational coordination system that includes direct communication with teachers, curriculum alignment, and attendance credit verification.
Our staff works closely with each student’s school to obtain current assignments, coordinate testing requirements, and facilitate a seamless shift back to their regular academic environment.
During treatment, we provide specialized academic support through supervised study sessions, helping students maintain their educational momentum while addressing their substance use challenges.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Most teens at Montville Adolescent Center stay in semi-private rooms, though we do offer a limited number of private rooms based on specific clinical or medical needs.
Our semi-private accommodations are thoughtfully designed to promote peer support and social development while maintaining appropriate privacy and personal space for each resident.
We’ve carefully structured our gender-specific housing floors to guarantee comfort and security, with each room featuring storage space for personal belongings and comfortable furnishings that create a home-like environment.
Our clinical team considers various factors when making room assignments, including age, treatment needs, and personality compatibility, to create the most therapeutic living situation possible.
Additionally, all rooms are monitored regularly by our staff to maintain safety and security while respecting our clients’ dignity and privacy.
Do you prescribe medications?
Beyond providing comfortable living spaces, medication management plays a key role in our thorough treatment approach.
We’ll always discuss any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions with parents or guardians before implementation, guaranteeing full transparency in your teen’s treatment journey.
To maintain seamless coordination of care, we ask parents to sign a Release of Information (ROI) form if their teen currently has a psychiatrist or primary care provider.
This authorization allows us to communicate effectively with these healthcare providers during your child’s stay, verify previous treatment protocols, and relay any medication adjustments that may be necessary for post-treatment care.
Our medical team works diligently to guarantee that all prescribed medications align with your teen’s thorough treatment plan while keeping you informed every step of the way.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Maintaining a structured and safe environment, our teen treatment program follows clear behavioral guidelines that all residents must follow.
These rules include maintaining respect for staff and peers, participating in all scheduled activities and therapies, following the daily schedule, and adhering to our strict no-drugs-or-alcohol policy.
We’ve established specific guidelines around appropriate dress code, personal space boundaries, and technology use, while prohibiting romantic relationships between residents.
During their stay, teens must keep their living spaces tidy, attend all meals, complete assigned schoolwork, and participate actively in group sessions.
While these rules may seem strict, they’re designed to create a therapeutic environment that promotes recovery, personal growth, and accountability.
Our staff consistently enforces these guidelines to guarantee everyone’s safety and treatment success.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Sending your teenager to an out-of-state treatment facility offers several strategic advantages for their recovery journey.
Physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences can create a fresh environment for healing, while separation from enabling relationships helps teens focus entirely on their recovery process.
We’ve found that out-of-state treatment often reduces the likelihood of leaving treatment early, as geographical distance makes it more challenging to act on impulse decisions.
Additionally, treating teens away from their home environment allows them to develop new perspectives and coping mechanisms without the immediate pressures of their usual social circles.
Our location in New Jersey provides both proximity to major metropolitan areas and the therapeutic benefits of a serene setting, making it an ideal choice for families seeking extensive care outside their immediate region.
How do I get started?
While choosing the right location for your teen’s treatment is important, taking the first step toward getting help is straightforward.
We’ve simplified our admission process to make it as stress-free as possible for both parents and teens. Our dedicated admissions team begins with a brief 10-minute phone assessment to guarantee we’re the right fit for your child’s specific needs.
Once we’ve completed this initial evaluation, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and discuss any financial considerations. After addressing these practical matters, we’ll work with you to arrange an intake time that works best for your family’s schedule.
Throughout this process, our experienced counselors will guide you, answer your questions, and help coordinate all necessary arrangements for your teen’s admission to Montville Adolescent Center.
