Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that parents and families have many questions about our teen rehabilitation program, from insurance coverage and visitation policies to educational support and living arrangements.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’re committed to providing thorough answers about our insurance verification process, weekly family therapy sessions, academic coordination with home schools, and both private and semi-private room options.
Through our family-centered approach, we guarantee transparent communication about every aspect of treatment, including our Sunday visitation hours, ongoing educational support, and specialized family programming that keeps parents actively involved in their teen’s recovery journey.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance coverage exists for most or all teen addiction treatment costs, thanks to federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
We accept most major insurance plans, and our experienced admissions team will work directly with your insurance provider to determine your specific coverage level.
The ACA requires insurance companies to cover essential health benefits, including substance use disorder treatment, while the MHPAEA guarantees that mental health and addiction benefits aren’t limited unfairly.
When you contact us, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and explain exactly what’s covered, including detox services, residential treatment, and therapeutic programs.
If you don’t have insurance or need additional payment options, we’ll help you investigate alternative financing solutions to make treatment accessible for your teen.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Visiting your teen during treatment follows a structured schedule at Montville Adolescent Center, with designated hours every Sunday.
We’ve established these specific visitation guidelines to maintain a therapeutic environment while supporting essential family connections during the recovery process.
To ensure safety and maintain program integrity, we require all visitors to be family members or legal guardians who are at least 18 years of age, and they must receive prior approval from our clinical staff.
Additionally, attendance at our Family Support Sessions is mandatory for all visitors, as these sessions provide valuable insights into your teen’s treatment progress and equip you with tools to support their recovery journey.
Our structured visitation policy helps create a balanced approach between maintaining family bonds and supporting your teen’s therapeutic progress.
Do you offer support to family members?
Beyond our structured visitation program, family support forms a central pillar of our treatment approach at Montville Adolescent Center. We offer extensive family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular progress updates to guarantee parents and guardians remain actively involved in their teen’s recovery journey.
Our family support program includes weekly therapy sessions where families can address underlying issues, improve communication patterns, and develop healthier relationship dynamics.
Additionally, we provide educational resources and counseling specifically designed for parents and siblings, helping them understand addiction, mental health challenges, and effective ways to support their loved one’s recovery.
Through our family-centered approach, we’re committed to strengthening family bonds and creating a sustainable support system that continues long after treatment ends.
What educational coordination is offered?
Educational coordination represents a core component of our adolescent treatment program. We partner directly with each teen’s home school district to guarantee they don’t fall behind academically during treatment. Our program includes two hours of structured academic time daily, where we follow their school’s curriculum and maintain attendance credits.
We’ve established strong relationships with local school districts, enabling us to provide seamless educational continuity through dedicated classroom environments and qualified instructors.
Our staff coordinates with teachers and guidance counselors to obtain assignments, facilitate makeup work, and verify academic progress continues uninterrupted. We recognize that maintaining educational momentum is essential for our teens’ long-term success, which is why we’ve integrated academics so thoroughly into our treatment schedule, alongside therapeutic and recovery activities.
Will my teenager have their own room?
At Montville Adolescent Center, we offer both private and semi-private room options for our teenage residents.
Our thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize comfort, safety, and therapeutic benefit while maintaining appropriate supervision and support throughout the recovery journey.
For teens who may benefit from additional privacy during their treatment, our private rooms provide a personal sanctuary where they can reflect, study, and process their experiences independently.
Meanwhile, our semi-private accommodations offer opportunities for peer support and social connection, which many teens find beneficial during their recovery process.
All rooms are located on gender-specific housing floors and are regularly monitored by our attentive staff to guarantee a secure, structured environment that promotes healing and personal growth while maintaining appropriate boundaries.
Do you prescribe medications?
While our facility’s accommodations support physical comfort, medication management plays an important role in many teens’ recovery journeys.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we guarantee that any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions are thoroughly discussed with parents or guardians before implementation.
To maintain seamless care coordination, we request that families sign a Release of Information (ROI) form if their teen has an existing psychiatrist or primary care provider, allowing us to communicate effectively about their treatment history and any medication adjustments.
This collaborative approach enables us to verify past treatments and guarantee proper communication about medication plans for post-treatment care, establishing a detailed support system that prioritizes both safety and therapeutic effectiveness throughout your teen’s recovery process.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Rules and structure form the foundation of our therapeutic environment at Montville Adolescent Center. Our teens must follow a thorough set of guidelines designed to guarantee safety, promote recovery, and foster personal growth.
We require all residents to participate fully in scheduled activities, maintain appropriate boundaries with peers, and respect our zero-tolerance policy for substances or contraband items.
Additionally, we’ve established clear expectations regarding personal conduct, including following the daily schedule, attending all therapy sessions, completing academic work, and maintaining proper hygiene.
During their stay, teens must refrain from using personal electronic devices, as we believe this helps them focus entirely on their recovery journey.
While these rules may seem strict, we’ve found they create the stable, supportive environment necessary for successful treatment outcomes.
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. When teens receive care away from their usual environment, they’re removed from negative influences and triggering situations that may have contributed to their substance use.
At our Montville facility, we’ve found that physical distance creates an opportunity for adolescents to focus entirely on their recovery without local distractions or peer pressure.
Additionally, out-of-state treatment offers your teen a fresh start in a new setting, where they can develop healthy coping mechanisms and build relationships with peers who share similar recovery goals.
While we recognize that sending your child away for treatment isn’t an easy decision, our experience shows that the geographic separation often leads to more successful outcomes, as it allows for complete immersion in the therapeutic process.
How do I get started?
Starting the recovery journey for your teen is straightforward at Montville Adolescent Center. When you reach out to us, one of our dedicated admissions counselors will conduct a brief, 10-minute phone assessment to confirm we’re the right fit for your child’s specific needs and circumstances.
After completing the initial assessment, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and discuss any financial considerations, making certain you understand the coverage and payment options available to you.
Once these preliminary steps are complete, we’ll work with you to arrange a convenient intake time that works for your family’s schedule. Throughout this process, our experienced team will guide you through any necessary paperwork and answer questions you may have about our programs, ensuring a smooth shift into our care.
