Port of Hope is a nonprofit, state-licensed substance abuse treatment provider in Nampa, Idaho. The organization traces its roots to 1971, when it began as a sober living environment in a former Basque rooming house in Twin Falls. Over the decades it has expanded into a residential and outpatient treatment center now operating out of facilities in Nampa and Boise, and it has served tens of thousands of individuals during that time. The Nampa campus meets federal health and safety standards and is licensed by the State of Idaho.
Program Structure and Services
The Nampa facility provides social model detoxification, intensive residential treatment with a standard length of stay of 90 days (with 60- and 30-day tracks also available), intensive outpatient programming, and individual and group counseling. Court-approved DUI evaluations and education classes are offered as well. Port of Hope operates as a non-medical program and does not incorporate medication-based treatments, though nearby medical centers are accessible when additional support is needed. The program is described as rigorous, and the organization emphasizes that enrollment requires a sincere willingness to engage in the recovery process.
Approach and Counseling Team
The center’s philosophy is rooted in providing a safe, home-like setting where recovery can take hold. Staff work to equip men and women with the practical knowledge and self-awareness needed to sustain long-term sobriety, drawing on education, peer support, and both individual and group counseling. A number of the counselors on staff bring their own lived experience with addiction to their professional roles, and the clinical team includes professionals holding CADC and CCS credentials.
