We sent our son, Will to Turning Winds in September of 2023 when he was 13 years old. It was the hardest decision we ever had to make as parents but our home life up to that point was not sustainable. Our son had significant behavior issues and school refusal. He was destructive, defiant and refused to leave the house. The work the staff at Turning Winds did with our son has changed our lives. They taught him how to communicate and connect with other kids and adults. They helped him build trust and positive relationships that didn't exist when he was home. Now that Will is home, we are enjoying the simple things that other families might take for granted like seeing our son smile and spending time together. Turning Winds changed everything for us and we will be forever grateful!

Accepted Insurance

Turning Winds 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

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Clients enrolled in outpatient rehab typically reside in their own homes and many continue to work and/or attend school while receiving addiction treatment. The frequency and intensity of outpatient treatment varies based upon the clients' evolving needs. Many programs offer a full continuum of outpatient care, including partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), sober living/halfway housing, and standard outpatient services. The most common treatment modalities are psychotherapy, life skills training, and medication assisted treatment (MAT).
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Clients participating in a rehab aftercare program have typically already completed detox and/or intensive inpatient treatment and are reintegrating into their home, workplace, and community. Rehab aftercare services generally include outpatient counseling, recovery education, holistic care, and medication assisted treatment (MAT). Many clients also continue to receive recovery support after being discharged from outpatient treatment. Case managers and care teams help clients access the services they need at each phase of the recovery journey.
12-step icon12-Step
Addiction recovery based on 12 step program models emphasize emotional, psychological, and spiritual growth. The 12 step recovery strategy depends on intensive peer support, including regular attendance at group meetings, which are anonymous, free, open to the public, and available 365 days per year in most communities. Participants also receive one-on-one mentoring from a self-selected peer sponsor as they work through the 12 steps of recovery, which relate to self-awareness, forgiveness, accountability, and acceptance.
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
A successful drug intervention in Montana requires careful collaboration between family members and intervention services. An intervention specialist helps the individual understand how their substance abuse is affecting themselves and others and understand how treatment can help. This professional may be certified as an interventionist or possess other mental health qualifications. They walk everyone through the intervention step by step, then provide follow-up services for treatment.
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
Often referred to as "day treatment," a partial hospitalization program (PHP) provides structured therapy and support while allowing you to return home each day. PHP treatment is often used as a short-term alternative to inpatient hospitalization or a step-down option after a residential program. With a minimum commitment of 20 hours per week for an average of 90 days, PHP treatment often provides relapse prevention, medication management, and behavioral therapy services. Most providers offer coverage for PHP treatment.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
Withdrawing from drugs or alcohol on your own can be difficult and even dangerous. That's why detox facilities offer 24-hour clinical care in Montana to manage this process for you. Withdrawal symptoms can lead to heart palpitations, seizures, or other severe reactions. However, in a supervised clinical setting, medical staff are available to treat these symptoms and allow you to safely detox and overcome drug dependence.

Treatments

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

teen-program thumbnail image
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
adult-program thumbnail image
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.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
hiv-aids-program thumbnail image
HIV/AIDS Program
HIV/AIDS programs support disease prevention and management in high-risk individuals in recovery. Individuals who engage in intravenous drug use and other addictive behaviors are at a higher risk of becoming infected with HIV. Rehab centers that specialize in treating this population typically have a high number of nurses, physicians, and psychiatrists on staff who can make sure both their medical and mental health needs are met.

Clinical Services

During cognitive behavioral therapy in Montana, patients learn to be their own therapists. They develop coping skills so they can change their thinking and behavior in day to day life. This helps them overcome mental and substance use disorders.

Your rehab program in Montana may include dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). This method helps you understand your feelings, accept them, and learn to manage them. With the skills you develop, you'll be able to make positive changes. Sessions include both individual and group settings.

Group therapy sessions for men and women are facilitated by trained therapists who incorporate evidence based therapies to help you recover from drug and alcohol addiction. Therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing help support lasting change and sustainable recovery.

Part of drug and alcohol addiction treatment is the use of individual therapy to encourage a collaborative process between the therapist and the patient. This helps uncover the root causes of substance use and address the personal experiences and emotional struggles that may drive addictive behavior. Ultimately, patients gain insight and develop new coping skills to support recovery.

The role of the counselor who applies motivational interviewing is to listen and reflect rather than offer advice or warnings. By expressing the client's own thoughts back to them, the therapist allows the client to reflect on their motivations and come to their own conclusions about their need for change.

Trauma therapy helps you process traumatic events that you may have witnessed or experienced. This is the first step to healing from these events, integrating them into a more coherent narrative, and improving your resilience.

Couples therapy is a form of talk therapy. The goal is to relieve distress in the relationship and improve interactions between the two partners. This often involves learning ways to manage feelings, communicate, and resolve conflict.

Family therapy offers a platform for open and honest dialogue about the challenges that addiction has created within the family unit. Using guided sessions, your therapist helps family members develop healthy communication skills and address unresolved issues. By working together, families can help support their loved one's sobriety.

Life skills are the foundational abilities you need to manage day to day life and stress. They are a set of interpersonal and psychological skills that allow you to navigate challenges and perform necessary tasks. Training in these skills is incorporated into drug rehab to equip you for success in recovery.

Typically, addiction leads to poor dietary choices, which leads to nutrient deficiencies. You don't get the vitamins and minerals you need for daily functioning, which can make recovery even harder. Nutrition therapy addresses these issues and gives you the dietary support you need to get on the right track for recovery.

Turning Winds is a program of excellence, integrity, and outcomes. The staff are all well trained, trustworthy, and passionate about helping adolescents struggling with mental health and substance use disorders while guiding them in academic recovery. Turning Winds was instrumental in helping our son move in a positive and healthy direction in his life. As a family physician, I cannot recommend Turning Winds highly enough if you are a parent searching for a residential treatment center/therapeutic boarding school for your child. If you are reading this, I know you are at a very tough juncture in life. It can be hard to know where to turn and who to trust. As a parent with personal experience and who knows other families that have entrusted the program with their children, I would suggest that Turning Winds may be the very place you are looking for.

Turning Winds was one of the biggest blessings that our family has ever found. My son is a great kid, has a big heart, and is very kind. Unfortunately, he began to suffer from anxiety and depression. And let s just say he lost his way. He spiraled downward to the point that despite our efforts to help, along with counseling, we began to worry if our son would even be alive in the near future. It was just coincidence that when we were searching for treatment facilities, we came across Turning Winds. It was beyond doubt the hardest thing that my wife and I have ever done. But in an attempt to save our son, we decided to take a leap of faith and send him there. Our son was there for 7 1/2 months. All I can say is that he came home a new kid! He is clean, respectful, and living his life the way that it was intended to be lived. The staff at Turning Winds kept us informed and updated very frequently. I cannot say enough GREAT things about this staff. They have a genuine kindness for these kids that need help. They are kind, respectful, and very willing to help when they see someone struggling. Despite my son being forced to go (which he hated at the time), he actually has some really good things to say about the staff. My wife and I will be forever grateful for the help and kindness that Turning Winds gave us when we needed it the most. Thank you Turning Winds for giving us our son back!Chad H.

My son entered Turing Winds July 7, 2023, because he was falling into a deep black hole that we couldn't help him get out. If it wasn't for the staff and I mean the whole staff at Turning Winds he would still be in that black hole. They should love to him and wanted him to be successful in life. Fast forward July 12, 2024, we have our happy go luck son back. We see that smile that we have missed for so long. We has a family are better because Turning Winds taught us skills on how to deal with our son. They taught him skills how to deal with his anxiety and all the other issues he will face. Yes Turing Winds is a business, but it's a business of Love and Restoring Hope to families who struggle with their children. Thank you Turning Wind Staff for showing our family but most of all our son the Love over the last year. You have restored Hope for us.The Proffitt's

We honestly don t know where we would be or where my son would be, if we didn t find Turning Winds. We were absolutely terrified at the idea of sending him away because of all the horror stories you see on the Internet this is not one of those places. The staff is great and always available. His counselor is absolutely wonderful! Don t get me wrong we miss our son unbelievably but we are confident that he is in the right place and we can t wait to see the young man he is becoming. He s actually excelling in school, which is some thing that was always a struggle for him We still have a road ahead of us, but we are hopeful!

We sent our son to Turning Winds in April 2023 after we had reached a breaking point with his behavior in and out of our home. What attracted us to Turning Winds initially was the intensive approach to therapy. The amount of support available to our son on site at Turning Winds was hard to find anywhere else. After going through admissions, talking to staff, talking to parents of former students, I was convinced it would be our best opportunity to get our son back on track. He spent just over a year in the program and is now back home with us. He has grown so much and in so many ways. It feels like we finally have our son back!I know there are stories of unpleasant experiences at some schools, but I never once felt concerned about our son's well-being. The staff is truly passionate about what they do and I felt his best interests were always top priority.If you need help for your Son or Daughter and are considering a therapeutic boarding school, I highly suggest you give Turning Winds a call. It has changed our lives for the better and given our son a new lease on life!
