Idaho Long-Term Treatment

Our professional belief at DRS is that long-term treatment offers the most benefits for a person’s recovery. Here are a few reasons why:

• During treatment, individuals can develop coping skills and gain knowledge & abilities to maintain their sobriety.
• Since the program lasts for as long as needed, the person can have ample time to address the underlying issues of their addiction.
• While in treatment, individuals can also begin restoring relationships with their loved ones that may have been affected by their addiction.
• Different forms of therapy can be included in the program, like nutritional therapy, art therapy, animal therapy, etc.

GUIDE TO FINDING TREATMENT

Paying for Treatment in Idaho

The state of Idaho offers many different substance use treatment options. Most programs accept Medicaid or private health insurance. In addition, many facilities provide other payment options.

Paying for Treatment with Medicaid in Idaho

Medicaid health insurance is accepted at most of the state’s substance use treatment programs. We recommend contacting different programs and your local Medicaid office to determine what is covered. Idaho expanded Medicaid as of January 2020.

Using Private Insurance to Pay for Drug Rehab in Idaho

Private health insurance plans in Idaho are accepted by roughly three-quarters of the substance use treatment providers within the state. It is a good idea to contact your health insurance provider to find out what insurance covers.

According to the Idaho Health Insurance Marketplace Guide, Idaho has a state-run health insurance exchange. As of 2023, eight insurers offer exchange plans in the state. The following insurers are available through the Idaho Health Insurance Marketplace for 2023:

• Blue Cross of Idaho
• Mountain Health CO-OP
• PacificSource
• Select Health
• Regence BlueShield of Idaho
• Molina
• St. Luke’s Health Plan
• Moda Health

Paying for Drug Rehab When Uninsured

There are options to help families pay for drug rehab without Medicaid or private health insurance. Consider some of the following options:

• Programs in the state accept state-financed health insurance plans other than Medicaid.
• Some programs, not many, do not accept any payment and offer entirely free treatment for all clients.
• Some treatment facilities offer a sliding fee scale to lower-income clients.
• Drug rehab providers in the state offer SOME treatment options at no charge or minimal payment for clients who cannot pay.

The barrier families face with not having health insurance is the demand for help overtaking the number of available beds. Our experts recommend contacting more than one rehab provider. Place a name on a waitlist—additionally, contact rehab providers in neighboring states. Also, consider 12-step groups and outpatient options.

DRS’ Evaluation of Idaho

Overall, there are quality substance use treatment programs in Idaho. However, most residents find the limited number of options frustrating. A well-rounded recovery pathway includes detox, rehab, and aftercare. Ideally, a client should have all three arranged, yet this is not always possible. In contrast, two-thirds of the programs offer telehealth services, which is beneficial for some, but not for someone requiring a residential drug rehab center.

On a more positive note, rehabilitation is affordable. The vast majority of substance use treatment programs in the state accept Medicaid. Private health insurance also makes it possible to cover costs. We recommend exploring the options available to you in Idaho. However, if there are barriers with wait lists and lack of needed services, consider searching in another state.
