At our Montville Adolescent Center, we maintain a 1:1 staff-to-client ratio during detox, guaranteeing your teen receives constant attention and care.

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 room arrangements.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve created thorough support systems that include insurance verification assistance, weekly family visits, educational coordination with home schools, and both private and semi-private room options to guarantee comfort during treatment.
Through our family-centered approach, we maintain open communication with parents and guardians while providing regular updates on their teenager’s progress, medication changes, and therapeutic developments.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Thanks to federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), insurance typically covers all or part of teen addiction treatment costs. That said, coverage varies by provider and plan, and costs vary accordingly.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we accept most insurance plans and work diligently to maximize your coverage benefits. The ACA requires insurance companies to cover essential health benefits, including mental health and substance use disorder treatment, while the MHPAEA guarantees that insurers can’t impose unfair limitations on addiction and mental health benefits.
To determine your specific coverage and potential out-of-pocket expenses, we’ll help verify your insurance benefits during our initial consultation. For families without insurance coverage, we offer additional payment options to guarantee access to our extensive treatment programs.
We’re committed to making quality teen addiction treatment accessible and affordable for all families seeking help.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Beyond insurance coverage considerations, parents often want to know about staying connected with their teen during treatment.
We recognize the significance of maintaining family bonds during recovery, which is why we’ve established a structured visitation program at our facility.
Visitation takes place every Sunday during designated hours, allowing parents and guardians to spend quality time with their teens. However, we maintain specific guidelines to ensure therapeutic progress: visitors must be at least 18 years old, receive prior approval from our clinical staff, and participate in a Family Support Session before visiting.
Additionally, only family members and legal guardians are permitted to visit, as we prioritize creating a safe, controlled environment that supports recovery. This balanced approach helps maintain essential family connections while preserving the therapeutic integrity of our program.
Do you offer support to family members?
Since family involvement plays a crucial role in teen recovery, our program offers extensive support services for parents, guardians, and siblings. Through our thorough family therapy sessions, we help address fundamental issues within the family dynamic while providing essential tools for improved communication and understanding.
We’ve designed multiple support components to assist families throughout their teen’s recovery journey, including weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops about addiction and mental health, and regular progress updates from our clinical team.
Additionally, we offer our Family Support Sessions, which are mandatory before visitation and provide valuable insights into the recovery process, coping strategies, and ways to support your teen’s ongoing healing.
Our goal is to equip families with the knowledge and resources they need to foster lasting recovery.
What educational coordination is offered?
We actively coordinate with each teen’s home school district to maintain academic progress during treatment. Our program includes two hours of structured academic time daily, where students can complete coursework and stay current with their studies.
We work closely with teachers and administrators to guarantee proper credit transfers and curriculum alignment.
During a teen’s stay, we facilitate ongoing communication between our academic staff and the student’s home school, providing regular progress updates and coordinating assignments.
Our dedicated educational support team helps students manage their workload while focusing on recovery. We recognize that keeping up with academics is essential for a successful shift back to school after treatment, which is why we’ve made educational coordination a cornerstone of our program.
Will my teenager have their own room?
At Montville Adolescent Center, your teen will stay in either a private or semi-private room within our gender-specific housing floors.
We’ve carefully designed our living spaces to provide a safe, comfortable environment that supports recovery and promotes personal growth while maintaining appropriate boundaries and supervision.
Our thoughtfully arranged accommodations reflect our commitment to creating a therapeutic environment where teens can focus on their recovery journey.
While we can’t guarantee private rooms for every client, we work diligently to accommodate specific needs and preferences whenever possible.
Each room is equipped with essential furnishings and storage space, and our gender-specific housing floors guarantee appropriate separation and privacy.
We maintain strict protocols for room assignments and regularly assess living arrangements to confirm they continue supporting each teen’s treatment goals.
Do you prescribe medications?
Three key principles guide our medication management approach at Montville Adolescent Center.
First, we discuss any new medications or changes with parents and guardians before implementation, ensuring full transparency in your teen’s treatment.
Second, if your child already has a psychiatrist or primary care provider who prescribes medications, we’ll need a signed Release of Information (ROI) form to facilitate communication during their stay.
Finally, we maintain ongoing collaboration with your teen’s existing healthcare providers to verify past treatment protocols and communicate any medication adjustments for post-treatment care.
Our medical team carefully evaluates each teen’s needs, considering their complete health history and current symptoms, while working closely with families to develop the most effective medication management plan.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
In accordance with our commitment to safety and structure, every teen at Montville Adolescent Center must follow clear behavioral guidelines during their stay.
We’ve established thorough rules that promote respect, responsibility, and recovery, including mandatory participation in all scheduled activities, maintaining appropriate boundaries with peers, and following our structured daily routines.
Our teens are expected to respect curfew times, keep their living spaces tidy, and participate actively in therapy sessions and academic work.
They’ll need to follow our dress code, refrain from using electronic devices without permission, and maintain respectful communication with staff and fellow residents.
While these rules might seem strict, they’re designed to create a therapeutic environment where every teen can focus on their recovery journey while developing essential life skills and healthy habits.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
While our structured environment and rules provide a strong foundation for recovery, many parents find significant advantages in choosing out-of-state treatment for their teens.
Receiving care away from home can remove teens from negative peer influences, unhealthy relationships, and environmental triggers that may have contributed to their substance use. Additionally, physical distance creates an opportunity for both teens and families to gain perspective and work on personal growth independently.
We’ve found that out-of-state treatment often leads to deeper engagement in therapy, as teens can’t rely on the familiarity of home to avoid difficult emotions or therapeutic work.
Our location in Towaco, New Jersey, offers accessibility while maintaining enough distance to create a fresh start, and we’re equipped to coordinate care with families throughout the treatment journey through regular updates and family therapy sessions.
How do I get started?
Starting the admission process for your teen is straightforward and can begin with a single phone call to our admissions team.
Our dedicated counselors will conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment over the phone to guarantee we’re the right fit for your child’s specific needs.
After completing the initial assessment, we’ll work directly with your insurance provider to verify benefits and determine coverage options.
For families without insurance, we’ll discuss alternative payment arrangements to make treatment accessible.
Once we’ve confirmed these details, we’ll schedule an intake appointment at our Montville Adolescent Center, where we’ll begin developing your teen’s personalized treatment plan.
Throughout this process, our experienced admissions team will guide you every step of the way, assuring a smooth shift into our program.
