Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
We recognize that parents and families have many questions when considering teen rehab treatment, from insurance coverage and visitation policies to educational support and living arrangements.
Our thorough program includes regular family visits during designated Sunday hours, coordination with your teen’s school district to maintain academic progress, and both private and semi-private room options to guarantee comfort during their stay.
Through verification of insurance benefits, family therapy sessions, and personalized academic planning, we’re dedicated to making the treatment process as smooth as possible while addressing your most pressing concerns.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Insurance coverage typically plays a major role in accessing teen addiction treatment. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), most insurance plans now cover all or part of adolescent addiction treatment services, including detox and residential care.
We’re pleased to share that we accept most major insurance providers at Montville Adolescent Center.
To understand your specific coverage and potential out-of-pocket costs, we’ll work directly with your insurance company to verify benefits. Our admissions team will thoroughly explain your coverage options, including deductibles, copayments, and any pre-authorization requirements.
For families without insurance coverage, we offer various payment options and can discuss financial arrangements that make treatment accessible for your teen.
Can I visit my teen while they’re in treatment?
Parents and guardians can visit their teens at Montville Adolescent Center during designated hours on Sundays.
We recognize the importance of maintaining family connections during treatment, which is why we’ve established a structured visitation protocol that supports our therapeutic environment.
To ensure the safety and well-being of all our clients, we require visitors to be at least 18 years old and limit visitation to immediate family members and legal guardians.
Before any visits can occur, our clinical staff must review and approve all potential visitors, and family members are required to participate in a Family Support Session.
This process helps create a supportive atmosphere that aligns with your teen’s treatment goals while providing you with valuable insights into their recovery journey.
Do you offer support to family members?
Family involvement forms a central part of our thorough treatment approach at Montville Adolescent Center. We provide extensive support services for families, including weekly therapy sessions, educational workshops, and regular updates on their teen’s progress.
Our family therapy program helps address underlying issues, improve communication patterns, and establish healthier family dynamics.
Through our dedicated Family Support Sessions, we equip parents and guardians with essential tools to understand addiction, recognize warning signs, and effectively support their teen’s recovery journey.
We also maintain open lines of communication with families through our clinical team, who provide detailed progress reports and collaborate on treatment planning.
Additionally, we offer resources and referrals to family support groups, ensuring that parents and guardians have access to their own network of support throughout their teen’s treatment process.
What educational coordination is offered?
Educational coordination at Montville Adolescent Center guarantees your teen won’t fall behind academically during treatment. We work directly with your child’s home school district to confirm proper attendance credits and maintain curriculum alignment throughout their stay.
Our program includes two dedicated hours of structured academics daily, integrated seamlessly with therapeutic activities.
We’ve established partnerships with local schools to provide extensive educational support, including specialized instruction and curriculum materials that match your teen’s current academic progress.
Our staff coordinates with teachers and counselors at your child’s school to facilitate a smooth shift both during treatment and upon return to regular classes, while our structured learning environment helps maintain educational momentum through individualized attention and progress monitoring.
Will my teenager have their own room?
Montville Adolescent Center’s housing arrangements include both private and semi-private rooms, giving teens options based on availability and clinical recommendations.
Our gender-specific housing floors guarantee comfort and security, while our thoughtfully designed living spaces promote a therapeutic environment that supports recovery and personal growth.
We recognize that room arrangements play an essential role in treatment success, which is why we carefully consider each teen’s individual needs when making room assignments.
While private rooms may be available, many of our clients benefit from sharing semi-private accommodations, as this setup can foster positive peer relationships and develop vital social skills.
In both scenarios, we maintain strict supervision and structured daily schedules to guarantee a safe, supportive environment where teens can focus on their recovery journey.
Do you prescribe medications?
While room arrangements address the physical aspects of our care, medication management represents another key component of our thorough treatment approach.
When it comes to prescribing medications, we maintain open communication with parents and guardians, discussing any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions before implementation.
If your teen currently works with a psychiatrist or primary care provider, we’ll ask you to complete a Release of Information (ROI) form, enabling us to coordinate with these healthcare professionals throughout your child’s stay.
This collaborative approach allows us to verify previous treatment history and effectively communicate any medication adjustments for post-treatment care, ensuring continuity in your teen’s medical management while they’re in our program.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Rules and structure play an essential role in our teen rehabilitation program. At Montville Adolescent Center, we’ve established clear expectations that help create a safe, supportive environment where recovery can flourish.
Our teens must follow daily schedules, attend all therapy sessions and academic periods, participate actively in group activities, and maintain appropriate boundaries with peers and staff.
We require our clients to respect the facility’s zero-tolerance policy for drugs, alcohol, violence, and inappropriate behavior, while also adhering to our dress code and personal hygiene standards.
Additionally, we regulate phone and electronic device usage, limiting contact with the outside world during the initial treatment phase to help teens focus on their recovery.
These guidelines aren’t meant to be restrictive but rather to provide the framework necessary for successful treatment outcomes.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Sending your teenager to an out-of-state rehabilitation facility can offer several key advantages for their recovery journey. The physical distance can provide a fresh start, removing them from negative influences and triggers in their home environment that may have contributed to their substance use.
We’ve found that this separation often allows teens to focus more intently on their recovery without local distractions or peer pressure.
Additionally, out-of-state treatment can offer specialized programs that mightn’t be available locally, such as our 1:1 staff-to-client ratio at Montville Adolescent Center.
The change in environment can also help break unhealthy patterns and relationships while fostering new perspectives.
This geographical distance typically encourages deeper engagement in treatment, as teens can’t easily leave the program when challenges arise.
How do I get started?
Starting the admissions process for your teen is straightforward and can typically be completed in a single day. When you call our admissions team, we’ll connect you with a dedicated counselor who’ll conduct a brief, 10-minute pre-assessment over the phone to confirm we’re the right fit for your child’s needs.
After completing the assessment, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and discuss payment options that work best for your family’s situation.
Once the financial aspects are addressed, we’ll schedule an intake appointment at our Montville Adolescent Center in Towaco, where our clinical team will conduct a thorough evaluation.
Throughout this process, we’ll work closely with you to gather necessary medical records, complete required documentation, and guarantee a smooth shift into our program.
