About Intermountain Hospital

Intermountain Hospital is a dual diagnosis mental health and substance use disorder treatment center for adolescents and adults, located in Boise, Idaho. They offer many different kinds of psychiatric services, including age specific inpatient treatment programs, partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs, and community referrals. To direct clients to the appropriate resources, they provide 24/7 risk assessments in person or online.

If you need to begin your recovery journey in a safe and sober environment, inpatient treatment may be the recommended first step. Here, they offer four different types of inpatient programs based on age. The Journeys Program and CAST Program are designed for teenagers, helping them overcome thoughts of hurting themselves and substance abuse disorder, respectively.

The New Start Program is for adults who need alcohol and drug rehab services and may also require treatment for co-occurring conditions. The Generations Program helps senior adults who are struggling with substance abuse and mental health concerns. Clients can receive counseling and rehabilitative services through all of these programs.

This strategic separation is one aspect of the facility that I believe is truly unique. It allows everyone to receive dedicated support from a team that is experienced and qualified to treat their specific condition.

If you need outpatient programming, those services are available as well. Outpatient services usually include a combination of individual and group counseling, recovery focused education, and life skills training. The goal is to prepare clients to successfully contribute to their homes, workplaces, and communities as they live a life of health and sobriety.

One of the things that clients love the most about this facility is the caring team. Reviews note that the staff members go above and beyond to make sure clients are comfortable and have access to the services they need. This includes connecting clients to community resources that can provide continued assistance when treatment is complete.

Levels of Care

Inpatient

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.

Medically Assisted Detox

Medical detox is the process of removing addictive substances from your body in a medically supervised setting. With the aim of keeping you as safe and comfortable as possible, a team of licensed medical professionals monitors your vitals and may provide medications if needed to alleviate any withdrawal symptoms. Medically assisted detox is generally partially covered by most private insurance and insurance plans under the Affordable Care Act.

12-Step

Many recovery centers base their treatment models on 12 step programming, which emphasizes spiritual development and peer coaching. 12 step recovery is designed to help participants address the root causes of their addiction, take accountability for their choices, and let go of that over which they are powerless. Though these programs prioritize spiritual growth, religious affiliation isn't required. Participants regularly attend anonymous, free, peer-directed meetings and are mentored by a peer sponsor.

Treatment

Dual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Mental Health and Substance Abuse

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Clinical Services

Individual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Motivational Interviewing

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.

Family Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy

Nicotine replacement therapy gives your body a small, controlled amount of nicotine to reduce withdrawal and cravings. Formats include patches, gum, and lozenges. These tools can double your chances of quitting long term.

Shane Kempton

A family member was transferred to this facility when seeking medical attention because they knew something was wrong with them Neurologicaly which affected their mind. While they where there they continued having something affect their nervous system, and when it hit really bad they asked for help, to go to a medical facility for a Cat Scan, and was told they had to wait until a provider showed up for work, they would not call anyone to come look at them, that's pretty sad that a patient has to wait and suffer, not knowing what is going on with them and wait for a provider to show up before getting proper medical attention. They could be dieing and be told they have to wait.

I would like to thank Intermountain, the New Start program. And my hats off to their awesome staff, especially Chris, a most awesome social worker, who goes above and beyond. And also to Jodie, who was such asset to my recovery. And who can forget "Hurricane" Hillary, who always helped start the day right, and a shout out to Robert who does outpatient classes across the way. Three times at the very least Intermountain and the wonderful nurses, techs, and counselors have saved my life... Much thanks and respect.

Nancy, Matt, Brandee and Forrest made my visit to the ICU feel safe. Their compassion was genuine and their kindness was sincere. They took time to get to know me and validate my struggles and feelings. They helped me rebuild a sense of self worth. It's not easy being a patient in a BH unit but they made it a lot less scary.

Hi, Meghan. Thank you for taking the time to share your kind words with us! Compliments such as these are held very dear to our hearts.

Great except now I'm stuck with abilify that is making me feel like tearing my skin off because relaxation is a thing of the past because it's not for me bit thanks for forcing it on me!

JC Price

Having had experience with other facilities, Intermountain Hospital Staff had about the same amount of compassion for my loved one and myself as I would expect from prison staff. My concerns for my loved one in their care were treated with indifference and denial. I would only recommend using the facility for yourself or a loved one as a last resort.

Hi, JC. Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us with your concerns. We take your comments very seriously and would like to learn more about your loved one s concerns.

Wreck It Felix

I haven't been there myself, but I have two very close friends there. One coming back for like a week every month. The other staying in there for years. From what I hear, the nurses are not very nice to them. And the fact my friends have to deal with nurses that are not nice to them, when they are in there for a reason concerns me and makes me worried for my friends. I admit I have not been there but the things I hear from my friends concern me.

Some of the staff at this facility should definitely be prosecuted. I am sick at the treatment I suffered first hand by these employees and health care staff. They illegally hold people against their will without reason or cause. Once they have control they continue to abuse it and strip your rights away from you treating you like an animal. I will be looking into as much legal action as possible so what happened to me does not happen to anyone else. The female psychiatrist should be fired and prosecuted immediately. This behavior is disgusting. If you need mental help please contact people who love you that will not worsen your mental state at the moment and for months after.
