Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that families have many questions when considering teen rehabilitation programs, from insurance coverage and visitation policies to educational coordination and living arrangements.
To help guide your decision, we’re committed to providing transparent information about our thorough program, which includes private and semi-private rooms, weekly family visits, seamless academic coordination with home schools, and extensive insurance coverage options.
Our experienced admissions team is ready to walk you through every aspect of our teen treatment program, including verifying your insurance benefits, explaining our family support services, and addressing any concerns about your teenager’s care and accommodations.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers most or all detox and treatment costs due to federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
The ACA mandates that insurance companies must cover essential health benefits, including mental health and substance use disorder treatment, as part of their standard coverage plans.
We accept most major insurance providers, and our admissions team will help verify your benefits to determine exact coverage levels for your teen’s treatment.
During this process, we’ll review important details like deductibles, copayments, and any pre-authorization requirements that may apply.
If you don’t have insurance coverage, we’ll work with you to investigate alternative payment options, including sliding scale fees and payment plans, ensuring that your teen can access the care they need.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
During treatment at Montville Adolescent Center, family visitation takes place every Sunday during designated hours.
We recognize the importance of maintaining family connections throughout your teen’s recovery journey, which is why we’ve structured our visitation policy to support these essential relationships while ensuring therapeutic progress continues uninterrupted.
To maintain a safe and supportive environment, we require all visitors to be family members or legal guardians who are at least 18 years of age.
Before any visits can occur, our clinical staff must approve potential visitors, and family members must participate in a Family Support Session.
This pre-visit preparation helps create meaningful interactions that support your teen’s treatment goals while providing you with valuable insights into their recovery process and the tools to support their continued success.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family support forms a cornerstone of our thorough teen treatment program at Montville Adolescent Center. We recognize that addiction affects the entire family system, which is why we’ve developed extensive support services that include regular family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and weekly updates on your teen’s progress.
Our family-focused approach guarantees that parents and guardians receive the tools and resources they need to support their teen’s recovery journey.
Through our structured family therapy program, we help address underlying family dynamics, improve communication patterns, and build stronger relationships between teens and their loved ones.
We also provide specialized support groups for parents and siblings, where family members can connect with others who understand their experiences, while learning effective strategies for supporting their teen’s long-term recovery success.
What educational coordination is offered?
While family support helps teens heal emotionally, we also prioritize their academic progress during treatment.
We’ve established partnerships with local school districts to guarantee your teen receives attendance credits and stays aligned with their home curriculum during their stay at Montville Adolescent Center.
Our academic program includes two hours of structured daily education, where we work closely with your teen’s teachers to maintain coursework continuity.
We recognize that keeping up with studies is essential for a successful shift back to school after treatment, which is why we’ve integrated dedicated academic time into our daily schedule.
Our staff coordinates with school counselors and administrators to facilitate seamless communication, homework assignments, and progress tracking, helping your teen stay on track academically while focusing on their recovery.
Will my teenager have their own room?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options for our teen residents. Our thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize comfort, safety, and a therapeutic environment that supports recovery and personal growth.
We recognize that having appropriate personal space is essential for teenagers during their treatment journey. Our gender-specific housing floors guarantee privacy and security, while our carefully considered room arrangements help foster a sense of community when appropriate through semi-private accommodations.
When determining room assignments, we take into account various factors, including clinical recommendations, individual needs, and therapeutic goals. Each living space is designed to provide a peaceful sanctuary where teens can reflect, rest, and focus on their recovery while maintaining appropriate boundaries and personal space requirements throughout their stay.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medical decisions regarding medications at Montville Adolescent Center are carefully managed through close collaboration with parents and guardians.
We’ll discuss any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions with you before implementation, ensuring you’re fully informed about your teen’s treatment plan.
If your child currently works with a psychiatrist or primary care provider, we’ll request that you sign our Release of Information (ROI) form, which allows us to communicate effectively with these healthcare professionals throughout your teen’s stay.
This coordination enables us to verify previous treatment protocols and seamlessly communicate any medication adjustments that may be needed during and after treatment.
Through this collaborative approach, we’re able to maintain continuity of care while ensuring your teen receives appropriate medication management aligned with their individual needs.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Beyond medication management, our treatment program maintains clear behavioral expectations for all teens. We require strict adherence to daily schedules, including attendance at all therapy sessions, academic periods, and group activities.
Our facility enforces a zero-tolerance policy for substance use, violence, or inappropriate relationships between residents, while we also prohibit the use of personal electronic devices to maintain focus on recovery.
During their stay, teens must demonstrate respect for staff and peers, participate actively in therapeutic activities, and follow our dress code guidelines.
We’ve established these rules to create a structured, therapeutic environment where adolescents can focus entirely on their recovery journey. Additionally, we require compliance with our visitation policies, including approved visitor lists and designated visiting hours, to guarantee safety and program effectiveness.
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 meaningful advantages. Physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences can create a fresh environment for recovery, while separation from enabling friends or social circles helps break destructive patterns.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that this geographical shift often increases focus on treatment and personal growth.
Additionally, out-of-state care can provide enhanced privacy and confidentiality, allowing teens to work through their recovery without local social pressures or stigma.
Our location, just 45 minutes from Manhattan and accessible from 19 commuter rail stations, offers the perfect balance of distance and convenience.
While remaining close enough for family participation in therapy sessions, teens benefit from a new setting where they can fully engage in their recovery journey without daily distractions from home.
How do I get started?
Starting the admissions process at Montville Adolescent Center 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 thorough pre-assessment for your teen, which typically takes about 10 minutes and helps guarantee we’re the right fit for your child’s specific needs.
Once we’ve completed the pre-assessment, we’ll verify your insurance benefits, if applicable, and discuss any additional payment options that might be necessary.
After addressing the financial aspects, we’ll work with you to arrange a convenient intake time that accommodates your schedule.
Throughout this process, our experienced admissions team will guide you through each step, making certain you understand what to expect and answering any questions you may have about your teen’s upcoming treatment journey.
