Port of Hope is a nonprofit substance abuse treatment center with locations in Boise and Nampa, Idaho. Founded in 1971 as a sober living environment in an old Basque rooming house in Twin Falls, the organization has grown over the decades into a full residential and outpatient treatment provider, serving tens of thousands of men and women along the way. Port of Hope is licensed by the State of Idaho and meets federal health and safety standards.
Treatment Services
Port of Hope offers social model detoxification, intensive residential treatment, intensive outpatient programming, individual and group counseling, and screening and assessment services. The center also provides court-approved DUI evaluations and education classes. As a non-medical facility, the program does not use medication-based approaches, though medical centers are available nearby if assistance is needed. The standard residential program runs 90 days, with 60- and 30-day options also available. The organization describes its program as demanding, requiring a genuine commitment to treatment from those who enroll.
Program Philosophy and Staff
Port of Hope’s approach is built on the belief that lasting recovery is most effective in a warm, safe, home-like environment. The program is designed to give men and women the tools they need to guide themselves toward lasting recovery through education, self-knowledge, and peer support. Many of the center’s counselors are themselves in recovery, bringing personal experience and insight to the work they do alongside their professional training. The organization’s leadership includes its founder and CEO, Regan McCook, and staff hold certifications including CADC and CCS credentials.
