Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that families often have important questions about our teen treatment programs, from insurance coverage and visitation policies to educational support and accommodation details.
Through our thorough FAQ resources, we’re ready to address your concerns about everything from family involvement and academic coordination to the specifics of insurance coverage and living arrangements.
Parents and guardians can rest assured that we maintain transparent communication about all aspects of their teen’s treatment journey, including our Sunday visitation hours, educational partnerships with local schools, and both private and semi-private room options.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers most or all of the costs associated with teen addiction treatment, thanks to two major federal regulations – the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
Under the ACA, insurance providers must cover essential health benefits, which include mental health and substance use disorder (SUD) treatment, while the MHPAEA guarantees that coverage limitations for addiction and mental health services aren’t more restrictive than those for medical care.
We’ll work directly with your insurance company to verify your benefits and determine coverage levels for our programs. For families without insurance, we offer various payment options to help make treatment accessible.
We encourage you to contact our admissions team, who can provide a detailed breakdown of costs and coverage specific to your situation.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Visiting your teen during treatment is permitted and encouraged during designated Sunday hours at Montville Adolescent Center. We recognize the importance of maintaining family connections throughout the recovery process, which is why we’ve established a structured visitation program that supports both safety and therapeutic progress.
To ensure the well-being of all our clients, we maintain specific guidelines for visitors: they must be family members or legal guardians who are at least 18 years old, and all visitors require prior approval from our clinical staff.
Additionally, family support is a cornerstone of our program, and we require visitors to participate in a Family Support Session before visitation. This approach helps create a unified support system and ensures that family interactions align with your teen’s treatment goals.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family support forms a critical component of our broad treatment approach at Montville Adolescent Center. Through our thorough family therapy program, we provide weekly family sessions, educational workshops, and support groups designed to help parents and siblings understand addiction, improve communication, and develop healthy coping strategies.
During your teen’s stay with us, we’ll regularly update you on their progress and provide guidance on how to support their recovery journey.
In addition to scheduled family therapy sessions, we offer resources including educational materials, parent support networks, and ongoing consultation with our clinical team.
Our family workshops cover essential topics such as setting boundaries, recognizing enabling behaviors, and preparing for your teen’s shift home, ensuring you’re equipped with the tools needed for long-term family recovery success.

Education remains a top priority during treatment at Montville Adolescent Center. We partner directly with each teen’s home school district to guarantee academic continuity, maintaining close communication with teachers and administrators to align coursework with current curriculum requirements.
Our program includes two hours of structured academic time daily, where students can complete assignments and receive individualized support.

Will my teenager have their own room?
At Montville Adolescent Center, teens stay in either private or semi-private rooms based on availability and clinical recommendations. Our gender-specific housing floors guarantee appropriate accommodation arrangements, while our thoughtfully designed living spaces promote both comfort and security during the recovery journey.

Do you prescribe medications?

At Montville Adolescent Center, we guarantee that any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions are thoroughly discussed with parents or guardians before implementation.
We’ll work closely with your teen’s current psychiatrist or primary care provider, which is why we ask families to complete a Release of Information (ROI) form upon admission.
This documentation allows us to verify previous treatment protocols and communicate effectively about medication adjustments throughout your child’s stay.
Our medical team maintains ongoing collaboration with outside providers to guarantee seamless coordination of care, particularly when planning for post-treatment medication management and follow-up care in your teen’s home community.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Every teen in our program must follow specific behavioral guidelines designed to create a safe, structured, and therapeutic environment.
We’ve established clear expectations around respectful behavior, maintaining personal boundaries, and participating actively in treatment activities, which includes attending all scheduled therapy sessions, groups, and academic periods.
Our rules also prohibit the possession of drugs, alcohol, weapons, or unauthorized electronic devices, while requiring compliance with our dress code and personal hygiene standards.
During treatment, we expect teens to maintain appropriate relationships with peers and staff, follow the daily schedule without resistance, and use respectful language at all times.
Additionally, we require adherence to our visitation policies, completion of therapeutic assignments, and participation in community meetings, as these elements are essential for successful treatment outcomes and maintaining program integrity.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
While our behavioral guidelines create structure within our facility, many parents wonder about the advantages of choosing an out-of-state treatment center for their teen.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that geographical distance often creates a beneficial separation from negative influences and triggers in a teen’s home environment, allowing them to focus entirely on their recovery journey.
Additionally, out-of-state treatment can help break unhealthy peer relationships and patterns that may have contributed to substance use, while providing a fresh perspective in a new setting.
Our location, just 45 minutes from Manhattan, offers the perfect balance of accessibility and distance, ensuring families can still participate in essential therapy sessions while their teen benefits from a change of environment that supports lasting recovery.

After completing the initial assessment, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and discuss financial arrangements, including additional payment options if needed.
Once we’ve confirmed these details, we’ll schedule an intake appointment that works with your family’s schedule. During this time, we’ll gather necessary medical records, complete required documentation, and create a preliminary treatment plan that addresses your teen’s specific challenges.
Our goal is to make the admission process as seamless as possible while guaranteeing we’ve all the information needed to provide effective, personalized care.
