Wow! I can t say enough good things about my experience from 2017/18.Trama therapy was game changing from Tammy!! She helped me soooo much, she help my youngest! My oldest son was making progress but shut down and as he was 18 I couldn t make him finish- wish he would go back. Honestly everyone could benifit from this type of therapy! It was game changing for me. I learned to have a voice, I noticed all my diagnoses ( mild bi polar, depression, ptsd, anxiety) all decreased by at least 70%. I found adding Jesus to my mindset w healing and Tammy understands everyone s different. You want to put it into the higher power ( what is that for u?) God, the earth, elements , whatever and its personalized for your faith or spirituality. I manage all my diagnoses. They don t manage me. I use my choice of things to help like oils, vitamins so on .Everyone has so kinda trama and need to learn to heal. This review is late, but still feel ppl need to know this service / therapy is game changing if your ARE READY TO HEAL, BREAK CYCLES/ generation trama!!!

I have been to several different counselors throughout the years and they have made small dents in my past traumas. I began seeing Tammy when I was in a very bad place mentally and felt defeated. I have made huge strides in my life with Tammy's help. I cannot begin to express my gratitude for what she has done for my family and I. She genuinely cares about her clients and and has a natural talent for helping people. She is an avid listener and works hard at getting to the core of your issues and helping you work through them. Her entire office is very compassionate and upbeat. I would recommend her office to anyone just beginning their counseling journey or anyone who feels like they are not achieving results with their current counselor . The right counselor can make all the difference in the world.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

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.

Treatments

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 rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

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.
child-program thumbnail image
Child Program
The providers who specialize in the children's rehab space understand the specialized needs that this population faces. School-based and social services such as tutoring and family counseling are often central to treatment. Child programs may also address the needs of youth experiencing substance abuse in the home, including a parent's or sibling's addiction.
seniors-program thumbnail image
Seniors Program
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
military-program thumbnail image
Military Program
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).
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.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

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 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.

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.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

I went through severe trauma to where I couldn't even function.I used to hate the idea of therapy and thought what would talking about my problems do? It turns out therapy can save your life. I've been going to Tammy for 2 years and my life has significantly changed.I love Tammy she's the best and Brenda (the lady in the office) has dealt with my issues more times than I can count without frustration or anything. Thank you Tammy! You've saved my life.

The most atrocious counseling center in Idaho Falls. I've been going here for awhile and it seemed to help at first but then all they focus on is getting you off the schedule. Had an issue with rides and they kicked me off after THEY couldn't figure out why my rides weren't showing up. Everyone is always on vacation when needed. Would never recommend this place to anyone.

Response from the owner11 months ago
We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced regarding you recent transportation and scheduling issues. We understand that it can be frustrating and distressing when important appointments cannot be attended. We make every effort to assist our patients with transportation provided by the State of Idaho for individuals that have difficulty or no transportation. First and foremost, we regret any miscommunication or lack of clarity. Our intention is always to provide reliable an accessible counseling services to our patients, and we deeply apologize for any inconvenience caused by our shortcomings. We do, however, have an important policy in place regarding no-shows or missed appointments. Our schedule is designed to accommodate as many patients as possible, with limited time slots available. When patients consistently miss their scheduled sessions without prior notice, it prevents other individuals from receiving the care they need. To ensure fairness and availability to all, we are left with no choice but to remove clients from our schedules after repeated no-shows. That being said, we understand that emergencies and unforeseen circumstances can sometimes arise, causing you to miss your appointments. We encourage you to reach out to our office so we can reevaluate your situation and aim to find a suitable resolution. We genuinely value your business and the opportunity to be of assistance to you. Please know that we are open to discussing alternative solutions, such as rescheduling, telehealth, or exploring other avenues for counseling support, depending on you specific needs and availability. Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience caused, and we hope to have a chance to make it right. Please contact your counselor at your earliest convenience , and we will be more than happy to find a way to meet your counseling requirements. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

BUYER BEWARE!! My husband and I at the time enrolled in couples counseling as a last ditch effort to save our marriage. We scheduled an appointment with Cooper, not sure what to expect. He talked to us a bit and gave us homework to try. We went back a couple of times, it just wasn't helping us.Fast-forward a few months and we get a bill. I called the office and asked if they had billed both of our insurances. No, they had not. We get another bill from them. I called and asked if they billed our secondary insurance, no they had not. I finally get an email from our secondary insurance that they had processed the claims.Our secondary insurance company is through CIGNA. Pettingill is contracted with them, which means they have to adjust off what the contracted fee is, and not charge the patient anymore.I called the office to pay the balance that our contracted fee was. The receptionist tells me she can't take a payment and will call me back. She calls back and says that the balance I want to pay is not acceptable and I need to pay in full. She said she would talk with the billing lady and call me back.I'm not sure why the billing lady wouldn't just talk to me in the first place? The billing lady finally calls me and says "I hear you are confused about your bill"? Um, no I am not confused, I know how my insurance works. She proceeds to tell me that they are contracted with CIGNA, but will not be billing me their contracted rate. I asked "Are you contracted with CIGNA"? She said "yes". I said "so what I am hearing is that yes you are contracted with them, but you are going to charge me the full fee"? Yes, she said, Cooper cannot survive on $50.My friends, this is not how ins works. This would be called insurance fraud.The billing lady said "I will not take a payment from you, I will call CIGNA and have them write a letter stating we can charge what we want". She proceeded to tell me "I will deal with you later" and hung up on me.I called CIGNA to verify I was understanding my insurance correctly. The agent said yes, that is exactly how it works.Check your bills folks.

Response from the owner1 year ago
Darcy Eames. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. It is not our policy to have the receptionist answer billing or insurance questing and we try to defer this question to the billing manager. Unfortunately, our billing manager was out of the office the Friday you called. Hopefully she was able to get back to you with the answers you were looking for. Best regards.

Tammy has literally rescued me and my children! I was looking for someone who does Rapid Eye Therapy as well as counseling after my neurosurgeon told me to start seeing a counselor for PTSD. She helped me with far more than just that and I love Tammy so much that I just kept going and continue to go after two and a half years because I love what she does for me! Even my children who initially hesitated with counseling as many do, actually ask me to call and make appts for them and they too love going! I could never repay Tammy for what she s done for my family!! Thank you!
