I have been seeing Kacie for about 2 years now and she is so great. I've had a wonderful experience with her! Even though our appointments are all telehealth there is still that important connection between counselor and patient.

The Counsellor did not let me know she was going to have a baby although I am very happy for her. It is not ok to just leave me hanging and now have to find a new counselor.

I feel very sad and disappointed. I think I've been with ambitions around 4 years maybe longer. When Covid-19 broke out people stayed home. I went down for what was normally my appointment either with counseling or the med management dr. either way I drove down there there was only the secretary and the councilors, etc. We're home. I had two appointments with the med management doctor who I talked to over the phone. But know one called me and told me about teleconference. I don't know why I didn't think about it except I was have even more trouble with my anxiety and depression. I even told doc. To up some meds. So I was sooo shocked when they let me go with no references. I was having some trouble with phone but they could've sent instructions in the mail. I wanted to see my counselor but thought she wasn't counseling. Now I've been feeling more and more depressed.

Accepted Insurance

Ambitions of Idaho works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
aftercare iconAftercare 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).
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
When an individual's life is negatively impacted by substance use but they are resistant to treatment, a drug intervention in Idaho may be appropriate. Drug intervention programs are designed to break through this resistance and motivate the person to get help. During the intervention, the specialist helps loved ones bring reality to the individual and break through barriers that are preventing them from getting the help they need.

Programs

Adult program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Clinical Services

Group therapy teaches participants in Idaho how to learn and practice conflict resolution skills. Within the group, you learn how to improve relationships and reduce stress. Both of these are crucial for achieving and maintaining your recovery.

Men and women in Idaho may choose a customized drug and alcohol treatment approach using individual therapy. This focuses your attention on the unique challenges in your life and helps you understand the triggers and stressors that increase your risk of drug use. You develop healthier coping strategies to promote sustainable sobriety.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy

The goal of trauma therapy is to help you mentally, emotionally, and physically heal from the effects of witnessing or experiencing a traumatic event. Your therapist helps you process the experience and develop effective coping strategies. This improves your emotional well being and your ability to function in the community.

Unlike other more coercive methods, motivational interviewing does not impose change on the client. Instead, the therapist asks questions, listens, and reflects the client's thoughts back to them. This helps the person come to their own conclusions and supports making changes on their own terms based on those conclusions.

During family therapy in Idaho, members have a safe space to express their feelings about the impact addiction has had on the family unit. The process helps reduce the stigma associated with mental health and enhances each member's understanding of addiction. By promoting a unified approach, family therapy helps to support the recovery journey.

Couples therapy provides the opportunity to discuss challenges in the relationships and learn healthy ways to work through them. Therapy may address issues such as your roles, beliefs, finances, health, substance use, and children.

One of their therapists (French) agreed to meet me on a Thursday and I arrived and she said my appointment was for the previous day. I know for a fact I double checked my appointment with her and write it down when we made it. I would not have agreed to a Wednesday because I have a class that day and time. I found this very unprofessional and a waste of my gas and time. And that is only ONE of the MANY scheduling disasters that have I counted with them.I am also in desperate need of my medication right now which has been also unprofessionally delt with. I have gone without meds for 3 weeks now. And I have not gotten direct answers from anyone I ve called. This is extremely neglectful. My entire experience with ambitions has been neglectful. I ve been transferred on the phone a billion times to people who don t have answers, The doctors switch buildings all the time and it is very confusing and I have wasted my gas and time more than once going to the wrong place. And the counseling is subpar as well. They end early if there isn t much to talk about. They do not go in-depth. They do not establish trust or rapport I would not advise anyone to come here for medication or therapy unless you want to spend endless amounts of time on the phone and going without necessary medication for weeks.

You have to take 3+ months of therapy before they'll prescribe you any medication for anyone with depression, anxiety etc. and they ask way too many personal details that dont have anything to do with medical health or history. Very invasive.
