Alcoholism is compulsive alcohol consumption that results in significant physical and mental health problems. A person with alcoholism, or alcohol use disorder (AUD), is typically unable to stop drinking on their own and experiences withdrawal symptoms if they do stop. Treatment at alcohol rehab in Idaho is necessary to break this dependency. This treatment process provides the detox, therapies, and support systems needed to achieve and maintain long-term recovery.

Drug rehab in Idaho provides treatment for addiction to drugs. It usually includes a combination of treatment methods that can involve counseling, medication, and a variety of evidence-based therapies. Programs are designed to help individuals manage their substance use disorder long-term.

In Idaho, dual-diagnosis rehabs treat individuals facing both mental health and substance abuse challenges. These specialized inpatient and outpatient facilities provide comprehensive care with the goal of treating both conditions and improving overall physical and mental well-being. Therapeutic treatments include therapy, mental healthcare, counseling, educational groups, recovery meetings, and aftercare planning with relapse prevention strategies. By the time you complete the program, you’ll have all the tools you need to maintain your sobriety and improve your quality of life.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Outpatient rehab programs are generally less intensive than inpatient care and are designed principally for clients who are medically stable, who have completed detox and/or inpatient care, and who are not at an elevated risk of relapse. Evening, night, and weekend services are commonly available, and most outpatient rehabs offer a variety of treatment modalities to align with clients’ unique needs. These typically include psychotherapy, recovery-focused life skills training, and/often, medication assisted treatment (MAT).

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Clients in an intensive outpatient program (IOP) are typically in early recovery or are at an elevated relapse risk. This includes those who are exiting detox or inpatient care, those in crisis, and those who have chosen IOP in lieu of hospitalization. Intensive outpatient treatment involves a minimum of nine and a maximum of 20 treatment hours weekly. Most rehabs offer a variety of services, including medication assisted treatment (MAT), addiction counseling, recovery-focused life skills training, and holistic therapies.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
