Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that parents and guardians often have important questions about our teen rehab program, including concerns about insurance coverage, visitation policies, family support services, and educational continuity.
Through our extensive FAQ resources, we’re ready to address your questions about everything from private room availability to our specialized academic coordination with local schools that helps keep teens on track with their studies.
Working closely with families, we provide detailed information about insurance verification, weekly Sunday visitation hours, family therapy sessions, educational support with daily structured academics, and both private and semi-private room options in our Montville facility.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Parents and families can feel relieved knowing that insurance typically covers all or part of teen addiction treatment costs. Thanks to regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), insurance companies must provide coverage for substance use disorder treatment and mental health services.
We accept most major insurance plans at Montville Adolescent Center, and we’re committed to helping families understand their coverage options.
Our experienced admissions team will verify your benefits and explain exactly what’s covered under your plan, including costs for detox, residential treatment, and therapy services.
If you don’t have insurance or need additional financial options, we’ll work with you to investigate alternative payment solutions, ensuring your teen can access the care they need for successful recovery.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Family connection plays an essential role in teen recovery, which is why Montville Adolescent Center maintains a structured visitation policy. We welcome family members and legal guardians who are 18 or older to visit their teens during designated hours every Sunday, ensuring consistent support while maintaining the treatment program’s integrity.
Before any visits can occur, we require all potential visitors to receive approval from our clinical staff and participate in a Family Support Session. This session helps create a more meaningful and therapeutic visitation experience.
This all-encompassing approach allows us to protect our clients’ recovery environment while fostering essential family bonds. If you’re planning to visit your teen, we’ll provide specific visiting hours and guidelines during the admission process, and our staff will help coordinate these important family connections throughout your teen’s stay.
Do you offer support to family members?
Building on our commitment to family involvement, extensive support for family members forms a core component of Montville Adolescent Center’s treatment approach.
Through our thorough family program, we provide weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and support groups that help parents and siblings understand addiction, mental health, and effective communication strategies.
We’ve designed our family support services to address the complex dynamics that often accompany teen substance use disorders, offering guidance on setting healthy boundaries, rebuilding trust, and developing coping mechanisms.
Our experienced therapists work closely with families to create individualized support plans, while our regular family education sessions provide essential tools for supporting recovery at home, understanding triggers, and maintaining healthy family relationships throughout the treatment process and beyond.
What educational coordination is offered?
During treatment at Montville Adolescent Center, our thorough educational coordination guarantees teens stay on track academically while focusing on their recovery. We partner directly with each student’s home school district to ensure proper credit transfer and maintain curriculum alignment, dedicating two structured hours daily to academic pursuits.
Our academic support includes coordinating with teachers, managing assignments, and facilitating virtual learning when necessary.
We’ve developed a detailed system where our staff works closely with school administrators to track progress and adapt coursework to fit within our treatment schedule.
Additionally, we provide specialized educational support for students with learning differences or those requiring extra assistance, ensuring they receive appropriate accommodations while maintaining their educational momentum throughout their recovery journey.
Will my teenager have their own room?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options based on availability and individual treatment needs. Our gender-specific housing floors guarantee appropriate accommodations, with comfortable living spaces designed to promote healing and recovery throughout your teenager’s stay.
We understand that having personal space is vital for adolescents during treatment, which is why we’ve thoughtfully designed our residential areas to balance privacy with therapeutic support.
While we can’t promise private rooms for every client, we carefully consider factors such as medical necessity, length of stay, and clinical recommendations when making room assignments.
Additionally, our 1:1 staff-to-client ratio guarantees that your teen receives personalized attention regardless of their room arrangement, maintaining a safe and supportive environment throughout their recovery journey.
Do you prescribe medications?
Beyond providing comfortable accommodations, medication management plays a key role in our thorough treatment approach.
We’ll discuss any potential medication changes or new prescriptions with parents and guardians before implementing them, ensuring complete transparency in your teen’s treatment journey.
If your child currently works with a psychiatrist or primary care provider, we’ll need you to complete our Release of Information (ROI) form, which allows us to communicate effectively with these healthcare professionals throughout your teen’s stay.
This collaborative approach enables us to verify previous treatments and coordinate any medication adjustments that may be necessary during and after treatment.
Working closely with your teen’s existing medical team helps us create a seamless shift and maintain continuity of care throughout their recovery process.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Structure and accountability form the foundation of our teen treatment program, which includes essential rules designed to create a safe, therapeutic environment.
We require all teens to follow our daily schedule, attend all therapy sessions and academic periods, and maintain appropriate behavior toward staff and peers. Our rules prohibit the possession of drugs, alcohol, weapons, or unauthorized electronic devices, while we also enforce strict guidelines around appropriate dress code, personal boundaries, and respectful communication.
During their stay, we expect teens to participate actively in their treatment plan, complete assigned therapeutic work, and follow our structured bedtime routines.
Additionally, we maintain specific protocols regarding visitation, phone calls, and outside communication to guarantee our clients remain focused on their recovery journey while maintaining healthy connections with approved family members and support systems.
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 significant advantages.
We’ve found that physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences can create a fresh environment for recovery, allowing teens to focus entirely on their treatment journey. Additionally, the separation often helps break destructive patterns and relationships that may have contributed to substance use.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, which is just 45 minutes from Manhattan, we’ve seen how out-of-state treatment provides an opportunity for families to reset and rebuild relationships in a neutral setting.
The change of environment can also reduce the likelihood of leaving treatment early, as the distance creates a natural boundary that encourages program completion.
We’re proud to offer a structured, supportive setting where teens can work through their challenges without local distractions.
How do I get started?
While considering treatment options for your teen can feel overwhelming, starting the process at Montville Adolescent Center is straightforward and quick.
Our experienced admissions team will guide you through a simple three-step process to begin your teen’s journey to recovery.
The process begins with a brief, 10-minute phone assessment conducted by one of our dedicated counselors, who’ll guarantee our program aligns with your teen’s specific needs.
After completing the pre-assessment, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and discuss any financial considerations.
Finally, we’ll coordinate a convenient intake time that works for your family’s schedule.
Throughout this process, we’ll answer your questions and address any concerns, guaranteeing you’re fully informed and comfortable with our treatment approach.
