Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that families have many questions when considering treatment for their teenager, from insurance coverage and visitation policies to educational support and living arrangements.
At Montville Adolescent Center, we work closely with insurance providers to maximize coverage, offer weekly family visits and therapy sessions, and maintain strong partnerships with local schools to keep teens on track academically.
Our facility features both private and semi-private rooms in gender-specific housing floors, ensuring comfort and appropriate accommodations throughout your teen’s recovery journey.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Most insurance plans cover all or part of adolescent addiction treatment costs due to federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
These laws require insurance companies to provide coverage for essential health benefits, including mental health and substance use disorder treatment, ensuring that teens can access the care they need.
We accept most major insurance plans and can help verify your benefits to determine coverage levels.
Our admissions team will work directly with your insurance provider to maximize your benefits and explain any out-of-pocket costs.
If you don’t have insurance or need additional financial options, we’ll discuss alternative payment arrangements to help make treatment accessible for your teen.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
During treatment at Montville Adolescent Center, family visitation takes place every Sunday during designated hours.
We recognize the significance of maintaining family connections throughout your teen’s recovery journey, which is why we’ve established clear guidelines to guarantee meaningful visits.
All visitors must be family members or legal guardians who are at least 18 years old, and they’ll need to receive approval from our clinical staff before visiting.
Additionally, we require family members to participate in a Family Support Session prior to their first visit, as this helps create a more supportive environment for your teen’s recovery process.
Our structured visitation policy allows us to maintain a therapeutic setting while fostering vital family bonds that contribute to long-term success in recovery.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family support stands at the core of our therapeutic approach, with extensive services designed to help parents and siblings traverse their loved one’s recovery journey.
We provide thorough family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular progress updates to guarantee families remain actively engaged in the treatment process.
Through our family-centric programming, we’ll help you understand addiction’s impact on family dynamics, teach effective communication strategies, and provide tools for supporting your teen’s recovery.
Our weekly family therapy sessions address fundamental relationship issues, while our educational workshops cover topics such as boundary-setting, recognizing triggers, and developing healthy coping mechanisms.
Additionally, we maintain open lines of communication between our clinical team and families, offering regular updates on treatment progress and providing guidance for post-treatment success.
What educational coordination is offered?
At the heart of our teen rehabilitation program is extensive educational coordination that keeps students on track academically. We partner directly with each client’s home school district to guarantee attendance credits and maintain curriculum alignment, dedicating two hours daily to structured academic pursuits.
Our educational coordination includes thorough progress monitoring, where we maintain regular communication with teachers and guidance counselors to track assignments and testing requirements.
Through our partnerships with local schools, we’re able to provide seamless curriculum integration that allows students to continue their studies while in treatment. Additionally, we offer academic support services, including supervised study periods and tutoring assistance, making sure that our clients don’t fall behind in their coursework and can shift smoothly back to their regular academic environment after completing treatment.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Teens at Montville Adolescent Center have access to both private and semi-private room options.
Our thoughtfully designed living spaces prioritize comfort, safety, and personal space while maintaining appropriate supervision levels for adolescent residents in recovery.
We’ve structured our gender-specific housing floors to promote a supportive community environment while respecting individual privacy needs.
For families considering our program, we’ll work with you to determine the most suitable room arrangement based on your teenager’s specific treatment requirements, clinical recommendations, and available space.
Our semi-private rooms foster positive peer connections and accountability, while private rooms may be available for teens who’d benefit from additional personal space during their recovery journey.
All rooms are monitored regularly by our professional staff to guarantee resident safety and well-being.
Do you prescribe medications?
In accordance with our medical protocols, any medications prescribed during treatment involve careful consultation with parents or guardians.
Our medical team guarantees transparent communication about any proposed medication changes or additions, discussing both benefits and potential side effects before implementation.
For teens who already have an established relationship with a psychiatrist or primary care provider, we’ll need a signed Release of Information (ROI) form to facilitate seamless communication.
This documentation allows us to verify previous treatment history and coordinate medication management effectively.
Through this collaborative approach, we’re able to maintain continuity of care and guarantee that any medication decisions align with your child’s overall treatment plan, while keeping you fully informed throughout the process.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Structure and discipline form the foundation of our adolescent treatment program. We’ve established clear guidelines that all teens must follow, including maintaining respectful behavior toward staff and peers, participating in all scheduled therapeutic activities, and adhering to our structured daily schedule.
Our rules prohibit the possession of drugs, alcohol, weapons, or unauthorized medications, while also restricting the use of personal electronic devices during treatment.
We require teens to attend all group sessions, individual therapy appointments, and academic classes, maintaining appropriate dress code and personal hygiene standards throughout their stay.
To guarantee safety and therapeutic progress, we’ve implemented strict protocols regarding physical boundaries, communication with others outside the facility, and conduct during family visitation sessions.
These guidelines create the stable, supportive environment necessary for successful recovery.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
While our structured rules create a strong foundation for recovery, many parents wonder about the advantages of choosing an out-of-state treatment facility.
At Guardian Recovery’s Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve found that physical distance often creates emotional space for true healing and personal growth, allowing teens to focus entirely on their recovery without daily pressures from their existing social circles.
Out-of-state treatment also offers teens a fresh environment, free from negative influences and triggers that may have contributed to their substance use.
We’ve observed that this geographical separation helps break unhealthy patterns while providing opportunities to develop new perspectives and coping mechanisms.
Additionally, our location’s proximity to major metropolitan areas makes it accessible for family therapy sessions, which remain vital to the recovery process, while still maintaining that beneficial therapeutic distance.
How do I get started?
Taking the first step toward teen addiction treatment is straightforward at Montville Adolescent Center. When you’re ready to begin, simply contact our admissions team, and one of our dedicated counselors will conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment over the phone to guarantee we’re the right fit for your teenager’s needs.
After completing the initial assessment, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and discuss any financial considerations.
Our team will then work with you to arrange a convenient intake time that works best for your family’s schedule. Throughout this process, we’ll maintain open communication to address any questions or concerns you may have about your teen’s treatment journey, while our clinical team begins developing a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your child’s specific needs and recovery goals.
