Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
Understanding the logistics of teen rehab treatment is essential, which is why we’ve compiled answers to parents’ most pressing questions about insurance coverage, family visits, academic continuity, and living arrangements at our facility.
We accept most insurance plans and work closely with families to verify benefits, while offering regular Sunday visitation hours and maintaining strong partnerships with local schools to guarantee your teen stays on track academically.
From our semi-private rooms to our extensive family support programs, including mandatory Family Support Sessions, we’ve structured our program to address both clinical needs and practical concerns that parents typically have when seeking treatment for their teenager.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance coverage is widely available for teen addiction treatment, thanks to key federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
These laws guarantee that insurance companies must cover essential health benefits, including mental health and substance use disorder treatment, without imposing unfair limitations.
We’re pleased to accept most insurance plans at Montville Adolescent Center, and we’ll work with you to determine your specific coverage.
While treatment costs vary based on individual needs, our admissions team can verify your benefits and explain exactly what’s covered.
If you don’t have insurance, we’ll discuss alternative payment options to make treatment accessible.
We recognize that maneuvering through insurance can feel overwhelming, which is why we’re committed to making this process as straightforward as possible for families seeking help.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Family involvement remains fundamental to a teen’s recovery journey. At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve established structured visitation protocols that balance therapeutic progress with essential family connections.
Parents and legal guardians can visit their teens during designated hours on Sundays, following specific guidelines we’ve developed to support the recovery process.
To guarantee a therapeutic environment, we require all visitors to be at least 18 years old and receive prior approval from our clinical staff. Additionally, family members must participate in a Family Support Session before their first visit, which helps create a more meaningful and supportive interaction.
We recognize the importance of maintaining family bonds during treatment, which is why we’ve integrated these carefully planned visitation opportunities into our all-encompassing recovery program.
Do you offer support to family members?
At the core of our treatment approach lies extensive family support programming. We recognize that addiction affects the entire family unit, which is why we’ve developed thorough support services that include regular family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and ongoing communication with our clinical team.
Through our family-centric approach, we provide weekly updates on your teen’s progress, facilitate structured family therapy sessions, and offer educational resources to help you understand addiction and recovery.
Parents and guardians receive guidance on establishing healthy boundaries, improving communication, and supporting their teen’s recovery journey. We also host family support groups where you can connect with others facing similar challenges, share experiences, and learn valuable coping strategies.
Our goal is to equip families with the tools and knowledge needed for successful long-term recovery.
What educational coordination is offered?
Education remains a top priority during treatment at Montville Adolescent Center. We partner directly with each teen’s home school district to guarantee they don’t fall behind academically while receiving treatment.
Our program includes two dedicated hours of structured academic instruction daily, complemented by physical education activities.
To maintain educational continuity, we actively coordinate with school administrators to facilitate attendance credits and align our curriculum with each student’s academic requirements.
Our staff works closely with teachers and guidance counselors to obtain current assignments, guaranteeing seamless integration with the student’s regular coursework.
We’re committed to supporting academic progress through individualized attention, maintaining a 1:1 staff-to-client ratio that allows us to address specific educational needs while teens focus on their recovery journey.
Will my teenager have their own room?
While educational support forms a key part of our program, parents often ask about living arrangements at Montville Adolescent Center. We offer both private and semi-private rooms in our gender-specific housing floors, guaranteeing comfort and security for every teen in our care.
While private rooms are available, we find that many adolescents benefit from having a carefully selected roommate who can provide peer support during their recovery journey.
Our thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize both safety and comfort, featuring well-maintained accommodations that create a home-like atmosphere. Each floor includes inviting common areas where teens can socialize during designated times, while their rooms serve as personal spaces for reflection and rest.
We maintain strict supervision protocols and room assignment policies to guarantee all residents feel secure throughout their stay.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medication management represents an essential component of our adolescent treatment program.
Before making any changes to existing medications or prescribing new ones, we’ll thoroughly discuss the options with parents or guardians to guarantee everyone understands and agrees with the treatment approach.
We maintain open communication with your teen’s current healthcare providers, which is why we request a signed Release of Information (ROI) form to facilitate discussions with psychiatrists and primary care physicians who’ve previously treated your child.
This collaborative approach allows us to verify past treatment protocols and effectively coordinate any medication adjustments during your teen’s stay, while also guaranteeing a seamless shift for post-treatment care and ongoing medication management.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Montville’s treatment program maintains clear behavioral expectations and guidelines that all teens must follow to guarantee a safe, therapeutic environment. We anticipate residents to follow their daily schedules, participate in all therapy sessions and activities, and demonstrate respectful behavior toward staff and peers.
Additionally, we’ve established specific boundaries around personal space, dress code, and appropriate communication to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety.
Since structure is essential for recovery, we require teens to maintain their living spaces, follow proper hygiene practices, and adhere to designated quiet hours and meal times.
While we recognize that adjusting to these rules can be challenging, we’ve found that clear expectations help create the stability needed for successful treatment outcomes and personal growth.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Seeking treatment out of state can offer several important advantages for teens in recovery.
Distance from familiar triggers and negative influences allows adolescents to focus entirely on their recovery journey, while the physical separation creates a fresh environment for personal growth and reflection.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve seen how out-of-state treatment helps reduce the risk of leaving treatment early, as the geographical barrier minimizes impulsive decisions to return home.
Additionally, treatment away from home often provides enhanced privacy and confidentiality, which can be particularly important for families in smaller communities.
We’ve found that teens who travel for treatment often experience increased commitment to their recovery process, as the deliberate choice to seek help elsewhere represents a significant investment in their future wellbeing.
How do I get started?
Starting the admissions process at Montville Adolescent Center is straightforward and efficient. When you reach out to our admissions team, one of our dedicated counselors will conduct a brief, 10-minute phone assessment with your teen to guarantee we’re the right fit for their needs.
After completing the initial assessment, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and discuss any financial considerations. For families without insurance coverage, we’ll investigate alternative payment options to make treatment accessible.
Once we’ve addressed the administrative aspects, we’ll coordinate a convenient intake time that works for your family.
Throughout this process, our compassionate team remains available to answer your questions and address any concerns, assuring you and your teen feel supported as you take this important step toward recovery.
