Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that families have many questions when considering teen rehab treatment, from insurance coverage and visitation policies to educational support and living arrangements.
Our all-encompassing program includes extensive insurance coverage options, weekly family visitation opportunities, dedicated academic coordination with home schools, and both private and semi-private room options to guarantee comfort during treatment.
Through our family-centered approach, we provide regular updates, family therapy sessions, and educational workshops to keep parents actively involved in their teenager’s recovery journey.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance coverage for teen addiction treatment is widely available through most major providers, thanks to key healthcare laws like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
We work with most insurance plans and understand how vital it’s to make treatment accessible for families in need. The ACA requires insurance companies to cover essential health benefits, including substance use disorder treatment, while the MHPAEA prevents insurers from imposing unfair limitations on addiction and mental health benefits.
To determine your specific coverage and potential out-of-pocket costs, we’ll help verify your benefits through a confidential consultation with our admissions team. If you don’t have insurance, we’ll discuss alternative payment options to guarantee your teen can access the care they need.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Visiting your teen during treatment follows a structured schedule at Montville Adolescent Center. We welcome family visits every Sunday during designated hours, understanding that maintaining family connections is essential to the recovery process.
Our clinical staff must pre-approve all visitors, who must be family members or guardians at least 18 years of age.
To ensure the most beneficial experience for everyone involved, we require visitors to participate in a Family Support Session before spending time with their teen. This requirement helps create a supportive environment that aligns with your teen’s treatment goals and progress.
During these sessions, we’ll provide updates on your teen’s progress, discuss therapeutic strategies you can use at home, and address any questions or concerns you may have about the recovery journey.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family support forms a core component of our teen rehabilitation program through multiple integrated services.
We provide dedicated family therapy sessions that help address underlying dynamics, improve communication patterns, and establish healthier relationships between teens and their loved ones. Additionally, we offer regular family workshops and educational programs that equip parents and guardians with essential knowledge about addiction, recovery, and effective support strategies.
Throughout your teen’s treatment journey, we maintain consistent communication through progress updates and consultations, ensuring you’re actively involved in their recovery process.
Our clinical team works closely with families to develop extensive aftercare plans, while also connecting parents with valuable community resources and support groups that can provide ongoing assistance even after their teen completes our program.
What educational coordination is offered?
Our educational coordination program guarantees teens stay on track academically during treatment. We work directly with each client’s home school district to ascertain attendance credits and maintain curriculum alignment, dedicating two hours daily to structured academic activities.
Through our partnerships with local schools, we’ve developed a system that seamlessly integrates your teen’s regular coursework into their treatment schedule.
Our academic support includes coordinated lesson plans, supervised study sessions, and progress monitoring to prevent educational gaps.
We’ll communicate regularly with your teen’s teachers and school administrators, organizing assignments and assessments as needed.
Additionally, we provide specialized educational support for students with learning differences or individualized education plans (IEPs), assuring every student receives appropriate academic accommodations while focusing on their recovery journey.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Room arrangements at Montville Adolescent Center include both private and semi-private options, with assignments based on clinical appropriateness and availability.
We’ve designed our gender-specific housing floors to create a safe, structured environment that promotes healing and recovery while maintaining appropriate boundaries and supervision.
In our experience, many parents are concerned about room arrangements, and we take great care in making these decisions.
Our clinical team evaluates each teen’s specific needs, treatment goals, and therapeutic considerations when determining room assignments.
While we can’t guarantee private rooms for every client, we make certain that all living spaces are carefully monitored, well-maintained, and conducive to recovery.
Each room, whether private or semi-private, provides a comfortable, secure space where teens can rest, reflect, and focus on their healing journey.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medical care, including medication management, is a key part of treatment at Montville Adolescent Center.
We guarantee that any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions are thoroughly discussed with parents or guardians before implementation, as we believe in full transparency throughout the treatment process.
When your teen begins treatment with us, we’ll ask you to sign a Release of Information (ROI) form if they currently have a psychiatrist or primary care provider.
This authorization allows our medical team to communicate effectively with your teen’s existing healthcare providers, verify previous treatments, and coordinate any medication adjustments during their stay.
This collaborative approach guarantees continuity of care and enables us to make informed decisions about your teen’s medication needs while keeping you fully involved in the process.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
The structured environment at Montville Adolescent Center includes essential rules that help create a safe, therapeutic space for all residents.
We maintain strict policies regarding cell phones and other electronic devices, which aren’t permitted during treatment to help teens focus on their recovery journey. Additionally, we enforce guidelines about appropriate behavior, respect for peers and staff, and participation in scheduled activities and therapy sessions.
Our rules also address safety protocols, including restrictions on bringing outside items, maintaining appropriate boundaries with other residents, and following the daily schedule.
We’ve found that these boundaries help create the stability and structure that teens need for successful treatment outcomes, while our caring staff works to explain and enforce these guidelines in a supportive, understanding manner that promotes growth and healing.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Sending your teenager out of state for treatment often provides significant therapeutic advantages, despite the natural hesitation many parents feel about geographic distance.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical separation from familiar triggers and negative influences allows teens to fully focus on their recovery journey without daily environmental stressors.
Our experience shows that out-of-state treatment creates a valuable “reset button,” where teens can develop new perspectives and healthier coping mechanisms away from established patterns.
Additionally, our location just 45 minutes from Manhattan offers the perfect balance of accessibility and therapeutic distance, while our academic partnerships guarantee your teen won’t fall behind in school.
We’ve also found that this geographic change often strengthens family dynamics, as structured visitation and family therapy sessions become more focused and meaningful.
How do I get started?
Starting your teen’s recovery journey is straightforward and begins with a simple phone call to our admissions team. During this initial contact, one of our dedicated counselors will conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment to guarantee we’re the right fit for your child’s specific needs.
After completing the assessment, we’ll move forward with verifying your insurance benefits, if applicable, and work with you to schedule a prime intake time.
Our admissions process is designed to be quick and efficient, while still being thorough enough to gather all necessary information for your teen’s treatment plan.
We recognize that seeking help can feel overwhelming, which is why we’ve streamlined our admission process to make it as stress-free as possible for both parents and teens.
