My stay here at first was very welcoming and helpful. The staff seemed to really care about your recovery and wanted the best for you. As I continued to live here, I noticed certain rules changing randomly and some only being enforced to certain individuals. I was discharged from here due to the fact I forgot to make the staff aware of prescriptions I had received from my doctor's which I was told beforehand was perfectly allowed to take while you stay here. Since I had forgot to let the staff know of these medications, I received a pleasant text from one of the owners stating, "You tested positive for Suboxone and failed to let the staff know of your new prescription medications. Since you are back on your fancy new cocktail you can go somewhere else to swallow that crap. You will be discharged in the morning ." Now this was my first time receiving any sort of communication from this individual and to me really showed an enormous amount of disrespect, I have been on these medications for over 15 years and there is a very good reason why. As far as the Suboxone goes, I have never taken that medication in my life, I did receive a shot in my back which was an opiate, due to a car accident I was involved in a while back, and have the paperwork showing it. If you are one of the lucky individuals here they will show some grace and forgiveness and give you a 2nd chance and let you continue to stay here. I however was not granted that opportunity and was abruptly let known at 9:30pm that I had to pack my bags the next morning. 2nd chances should be gave to everyone or not given at all. Best of luck to anyone who stays here. Clearly the owner doesn't want to acknowledge their are exceptions for some. We'll
see if they can fool the MFCU.
Response from the owner1 month ago
This program is a sober recovery house meaning a person is working on themselves without the drugs and "doctor shopping". We are not a cookie cutter program. Residents sign an agreement to inform staff of any new medications. If a person uses drugs/alcohol at Hannon House you may be discharged at staff discretion asap. It is about keeping the men safe who are working towards a clean and sober life. I always say as the owner. " You can fool the fans but not the players." 
Staff are rude and need to better customer service skills.
Very disheartening for staff to be rude when someone is seeking information about their services.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Programs
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.
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
Clinical Services
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 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 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.
