Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

car-building 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.

bed-front iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

book-medical 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.

house iconSober Living Homes

Each sober living home in Montana maintains strict rules that residents must follow. This structured environment is designed to provide a safe place of support and accountability for residents to establish and maintain sobriety. To remain in the halfway house, residents must pay their own rent, which varies by location. Some homes include utilities and other services, which can make sober living homes quite affordable.

truck-medical 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.

Individual Therapy

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.

Trauma Therapy

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.

Family Therapy

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

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.

First of all the bad review was bullcrap, if your not serious about getting straight, and you can't take the advice and change your life, you dont get on Google review and try to trash the people that were helping you.Next Damian and Ryan are beast at their jobs it takes alot to deal with grown men, who are learning how to be grown men, all the time. Even big josh is patient and on point when it comes to his job.Terri and Bob, man I can't say enough I was a mess and still a mess half the time. But they and their program saved my life. I learned new ways to cope with tragedies and to change my behavior based on principles and not emotions. Not everyone can create doors in people's lives where all they have had before were walls. Bob and Terri can. So yeah they were key in my recovery. I love em. What they have designed , here in montana to me is what I call family. Thank you

The Hannon house has helped me discover who I want to be as a person and have also provided just enough structure to my life to give me a sense of stability. I'm truly greatful for the Hannon house and without their support I may have never gotten out of prison. People like Bob and Teri make me want to be a better person.

I've been doing this over 12 years since I was 16 years old and have been through almost every d.o.c. program there is and have relapsed everytime. Instar and the Hannon house is by far the best program I have ever been to.. I am doing the best I have ever done in my entire life and I wouldn't be where I am today without everyone at instar especially Ryan Lehman. Everybody was completely against me getting out and actively advocating against it due to my criminal history but Ryan stood up for and vouched for me and did everything he could to help me get into the Hannon house.. instar literally saved my life by giving me this opportunity and with the help of the treatment they provide through one on ones and groups I have managed to not only maintain sobriety but to pull my life together and actually succeed and realize that I want something better than what I have been allowing myself to have. I just want to thank everyone there for actually caring and going out of their way to show me a better life and to help me obtain it.

I would give this place negative stars if it were possible. I strongly suggest you reconsider when making a choice that has so much bearing on your future happiness and success. There are so many better options right here in town when it comes to treatment.

I can assure you this place is a joke. I was only required to attend 1 hour per week of group therapy while residing at the "Hannon House" which is their sober living facility, which is not in accordance with state requirements. So when I left instar and went to another company I found out that I had to start the whole process over again. There was constant favoritism between staff and clinetel that seemed very selective and unprofessional to me. Drugs were common place inside of the sober living facility and I was eventually robbed by a former co-inhabitant of the Hannon House but that did not happen on the property though I never would've had the opportunity to fall victim to this individual had I not became aquatinted with him through instar. When I was staying there they had a live-in peer support "specialist" there that has the minimal required training for the job and all he did was play video games all day long. He has a fridge and a hot plate and toaster in his room and if he would have had a bathroom in there I am 100% certain he would have never left his room. The decision to trust instar with my treatment was one that I still regret to this day. The story of my own personal involvement with instar left me discouraged and disgusted with the system as a whole. I feel a deep sense of responsibility in sharing this information so that you have the opportunity to make the most informed and educated decision possible in regards to your own recovery. I was finally able to pull myself up off the floor and find great success and personal growth that continues to this very day, and I found it in the Narcotics Anonymous program and with the help of the amazing sponsor I met in the meeting rooms of NA and I am now living a very rewarding and emotionally full filling lifestyle. Remember, you're not in this alone and you do have a choice when it comes to your own recovery. And that choice is something that will affect the rest of your life so don't take it lightly and do your research before committing yourself to something that could possibly set you back months if not years.

I've been in the system for many years, been through every institutional group the system has none of them ever worked for me, the way that instar has your back is unlike anything I've ever been through. It's not a system of forcing things down your throat honestly it's like they are one of your friends showing u how to do something to better your life. They focus more on the positive things an how to get there. It's not the same old boring groups where all everyone talks about is negative things, it's about life. All I can say is everything positive in my life right now is happening because instar an the Hannon house took a chance on me, an all I can say to that an the hole in star family is THANK YOU
