Alcoholism

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 Addiction

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.

Opioid Addiction

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.

Substance Abuse

Substance abuse treatment programs in Idaho may be able to address the unique needs of individuals struggling with drugs and alcohol. These rehab programs include detox, medication-assisted treatment, residential drug and alcohol rehab, and outpatient programs. Therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy, or dialectical behavioral therapy, trauma-informed therapy, and process groups address the underlying causes of addiction. You’ll also learn coping skills, relapse prevention strategies, and tools to enhance your relationships — which are skills for long-term recovery.

Outpatient

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).

12-Step

Many recovery centers base their treatment models on 12 step programming, which emphasizes spiritual development and peer coaching. 12 step recovery is designed to help participants address the root causes of their addiction, take accountability for their choices, and let go of that over which they are powerless. Though these programs prioritize spiritual growth, religious affiliation isn’t required. Participants regularly attend anonymous, free, peer-directed meetings and are mentored by a peer sponsor.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Family Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

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.
