Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
When considering treatment for your teen, we recognize you have important questions about insurance coverage, family involvement, and daily life at our facility.
We’re pleased to explain that most insurance plans cover treatment costs, and we offer extensive family support through weekly therapy sessions, while also maintaining educational continuity through partnerships with local schools.
Your teenager will have access to either private or semi-private rooms in our gender-specific housing areas, and we encourage family visits during designated Sunday hours to maintain those vital connections during the recovery journey.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance typically covers all or part of teen addiction treatment costs, thanks to federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
We work with most major insurance providers to help families access the care their teens need, and our admissions team will verify your coverage before treatment begins.
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 subject to stricter limitations than medical benefits.
If you’re unsure about your coverage, we’ll help determine your benefits and explain any out-of-pocket costs.
For families without insurance, we offer additional payment options and can discuss financial arrangements that make treatment accessible.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Yes, parents and guardians can visit their teens during designated visitation hours every Sunday.
To ensure the safety and therapeutic integrity of our program, we require all visitors to be at least 18 years old and receive prior approval from our clinical staff.
Before participating in visitation, family members must attend one of our Family Support Sessions, which helps create a foundation for productive interactions during visits.
These sessions provide valuable insights into the treatment process and equip families with tools to support their teen’s recovery journey.
We’ve found that structured visitation, combined with our extensive family therapy program, strengthens family bonds and contributes significantly to long-term recovery success.
Should you have specific questions about visiting your teen, our admissions team is always available to provide detailed information.
Do you offer support to family members?
Through our thorough family support program, we provide extensive resources and services to help family members steer their teen’s recovery journey. We offer weekly family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and support groups that help parents and siblings understand addiction, mental health, and effective communication strategies.
Our all-encompassing family support includes regular progress updates from our clinical team, training in boundary-setting techniques, and guidance on creating a supportive home environment.
We’ve found that families who actively participate in our support programs typically see better outcomes in their teen’s recovery journey, which is why we’ve integrated family therapy as a core component of our treatment approach.
Additionally, we connect families with community resources and ongoing support groups that extend beyond their teen’s time at Montville Adolescent Center.
What educational coordination is offered?
Understanding that education shouldn’t stop during treatment, we maintain strong partnerships with local school districts to guarantee your teen stays on track academically.
Our program dedicates two hours daily to structured academic work, ensuring seamless curriculum integration with your child’s home school.
We’re committed to preventing any academic disruption during treatment, which is why our staff coordinates directly with your teen’s teachers and guidance counselors to align coursework and secure attendance credits.
Through our extensive educational support system, we provide structured classroom time, academic assistance, and regular progress monitoring, while our 1:1 staff-to-client ratio allows us to address individual learning needs.
When your teen returns to their regular school environment, they’ll be prepared to continue their academic journey without falling behind.
Will my teenager have their own room?
At Montville Adolescent Center, teens have access to both private and semi-private room options. Our facility’s thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize comfort and security while promoting a therapeutic environment that supports recovery and personal growth.
We’ve arranged our accommodations across gender-specific housing floors, ensuring appropriate separation and privacy for all our residents.
Each room, whether private or semi-private, comes equipped with essential furnishings and storage space, allowing teens to maintain a sense of personal space during their stay with us.
When considering room assignments, we carefully evaluate each client’s specific needs, treatment goals, and clinical recommendations to determine the most beneficial living arrangement.
For teens who may benefit from additional peer support, our semi-private rooms offer opportunities for supervised socialization while maintaining appropriate boundaries.
Do you prescribe medications?
Medication management is a key component of our thorough treatment approach at Montville Adolescent Center. When it comes to prescribing medications, we maintain clear communication with parents and guardians, discussing any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions before implementation.
We’ll work closely with your teen’s current healthcare providers, which is why we request a signed Release of Information (ROI) form to facilitate seamless coordination of care.
If your teen has an existing psychiatrist or primary care provider, we’ll collaborate with them throughout treatment to guarantee continuity of care. This communication allows us to verify previous treatment history and effectively plan for post-treatment medication management.
Our medical team carefully evaluates each teen’s needs, making certain that any prescribed medications support their overall treatment goals and recovery journey.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Yes, rules and structure play an essential role in our teen treatment program at Montville Adolescent Center. We maintain clear expectations, including adherence to daily schedules, participation in therapy sessions, and respect for staff and peers.
Throughout their stay, teens must follow our structured daily routine, which encompasses medical check-ins, academic work, and therapeutic activities.
Our core rules include maintaining appropriate boundaries, refraining from physical or verbal aggression, and participating actively in all scheduled programming.
We’ve established guidelines around personal electronics, approved visitation, and communication with the outside world to guarantee focus on recovery.
Additionally, teens must comply with our dress code, maintain their living spaces, and follow all safety protocols, including proper medication management and substance-free requirements, which help create a therapeutic environment conducive to healing and growth.
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 key advantages for their recovery journey.
By creating physical distance from negative influences and triggers at home, we’ve found that teens can fully focus on their recovery without daily environmental pressures or social complications. The separation also helps break unhealthy relationship patterns and peer group dynamics that may have contributed to substance use.
Additionally, out-of-state treatment provides a fresh start in a neutral environment where your teen isn’t known by others, allowing them to work on personal growth without preconceptions or judgments.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve seen how this geographical change often leads to increased engagement in therapy, as teens feel more comfortable opening up when they’re removed from their familiar surroundings and social circles.
How do I get started?
While deciding on the right treatment location is important, taking the first step toward getting help is straightforward. Our admission process begins with a simple phone call to our dedicated counselors, who’ll conduct a brief 10-minute pre-assessment of your teen to guarantee we’re the best fit for their needs.
Once we’ve completed the initial assessment, we’ll verify your insurance benefits, if applicable, and discuss any financial considerations or payment options that might be relevant to your situation.
After addressing these practical matters, 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, answering questions and providing the information you need to make informed decisions about your teen’s care.
