Our commitment to thorough care includes private and semi-private room options, coordination with your teen’s school district to prevent academic disruption, and extensive family support services through workshops, counseling, and educational resources.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers all or part of teen addiction treatment costs, thanks to key healthcare regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
Under these important regulations, insurance providers must cover essential health benefits, including mental health and substance use disorder treatment, ensuring that families can access the care their teens need.
While coverage levels vary by plan, we’ll work directly with your insurance company to maximize your benefits and minimize out-of-pocket expenses.
We accept most major insurance plans, and our admissions team can verify your coverage quickly and confidentially.

Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Every parent can maintain contact with their teen during treatment through our structured visitation program. We schedule visitation hours every Sunday, ensuring families stay connected while maintaining the therapeutic environment that’s vital for recovery.
To participate in visits, family members and guardians must be at least 18 years old and receive prior approval from our clinical staff.
Before the first visit, we require family members to attend one of our Family Support Sessions, where we’ll explain our treatment approach and provide guidance on supporting your teen’s recovery journey.
These sessions help create a unified support system, which is essential for long-term success. During visits, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in family therapy sessions, helping to strengthen communication and rebuild trust within the family unit.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family involvement forms a cornerstone of our extensive teen recovery program. Through our thorough family support services, we provide regular family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and ongoing communication to help parents and guardians understand their teen’s recovery journey.
Our licensed therapists work closely with families to address underlying issues, improve communication patterns, and develop healthy coping strategies that benefit the entire family unit.
We understand that addiction affects the whole family system, which is why we’ve created multiple touchpoints for family engagement, including our Sunday visitation program and weekly Family Support Sessions.
During these structured interactions, we offer guidance on setting boundaries, rebuilding trust, and creating a supportive home environment that promotes long-term recovery, while also providing resources for parents to manage their own emotional well-being throughout their teen’s treatment process.
What educational coordination is offered?
Our educational coordination seamlessly integrates treatment with academic progress through partnerships with local school districts. We allocate two dedicated hours daily for structured academics, making certain our teens stay on track with their studies while receiving treatment.
Our staff works directly with each student’s home school to maintain attendance credits and align coursework with their existing curriculum.
During their time with us, students receive individualized academic support that allows them to continue their educational journey without disruption.
We recognize that maintaining academic progress is essential for our teens’ future success, which is why we’ve developed an all-encompassing system that bridges the gap between treatment and education.
Our approach guarantees a smoother shift back to regular schooling once treatment is completed, helping students maintain their academic standing and confidence.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Room assignments at Montville Adolescent Center include both private and semi-private options, allowing flexibility based on clinical recommendations and availability.
We recognize that room arrangements play an essential role in our teens’ comfort and therapeutic progress during their stay with us.
Our gender-specific housing floors guarantee appropriate accommodations, while our clinical team carefully considers factors such as treatment needs, length of stay, and individual circumstances when making room assignments.
While we can’t assure private rooms for every client, we’re committed to creating living spaces that support recovery and emotional well-being.
Each room, whether private or semi-private, is thoughtfully designed to provide a safe, structured environment where teens can focus on their treatment journey while maintaining appropriate levels of privacy and comfort.
Do you prescribe medications?
Beyond living arrangements, medication management is a key component of our treatment approach at Montville Adolescent Center. We recognize that parents and guardians want to stay informed about their teen’s medical care, which is why we discuss any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions before implementation.
For teens who already have a psychiatrist or primary care provider managing their medications, we’ll work closely with these professionals to maintain continuity of care.
We simply ask that you sign our Release of Information (ROI) form, allowing us to communicate directly with your teen’s healthcare providers. This collaborative approach enables us to verify previous treatment plans and coordinate any medication adjustments that may be needed during and after your teen’s stay with us.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Yes, all teens in our program must follow specific behavioral guidelines designed to create a safe, structured, and therapeutic environment.
Our rules include maintaining appropriate boundaries with peers, participating in all scheduled activities and therapies, respecting staff and other residents, following the daily schedule, and adhering to our dress code policy.
We’ve established clear expectations regarding personal conduct, including restrictions on physical contact, mandatory attendance at therapy sessions, and compliance with medication protocols when prescribed.
Additionally, we maintain strict policies about contraband items, such as cell phones, personal electronics, and any substances that could compromise recovery.
While these guidelines may seem stringent, they’re essential for creating an environment where teens can focus entirely on their recovery journey without external distractions or negative influences.
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 distinct advantages for their recovery journey.
At our Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance from familiar triggers, negative peer influences, and established patterns can create a fresh environment for healing and growth. The separation allows teens to focus completely on their recovery without daily distractions or pressures from their usual social circle.
We’ve also observed that out-of-state treatment provides an opportunity for families to reset dynamics and establish healthier communication patterns.
Our location, just 45 minutes from Manhattan, offers the perfect balance of accessibility and distance, while our structured program guarantees teens stay connected to their academic studies through our partnerships with local schools, making the eventual shift back home smoother and more successful.
How do I get started?
Starting treatment at Montville Adolescent Center involves a straightforward three-step process.
First, you’ll connect with our admissions team, who’ll conduct a brief 10-minute pre-assessment over the phone to guarantee we’re the right fit for your teen’s specific needs and circumstances.
Next, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and discuss payment options, providing you with a clear understanding of coverage and any potential out-of-pocket expenses.
Finally, we’ll coordinate a convenient intake time that works for your family, during which we’ll complete necessary paperwork and begin your teen’s personalized treatment journey.
Throughout this process, our dedicated admissions counselors will guide you every step of the way, answering questions and addressing concerns to guarantee a smooth changeover into our program.
