About Ideal Option – Missoula
Ideal Option is a private, Joint Commission-accredited alcohol and drug rehab provider with more than 80 locations in nine states. Their facility in Missoula, Montana, offers outpatient services, including medication assisted treatment (MAT), for people with addiction to opioids, stimulants or alcohol. This provider takes Medicaid, Medicare and commercial insurance plans such as Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Aetna, United and Allianz. If you don’t have insurance and can’t afford to pay the full balance, you may be eligible for a payment plan or financial assistance.
MAT is the gold standard in addiction treatment. Numerous studies have shown it is an effective, safe way to help people stop using substances and maintain long-term sobriety. Ideal Option uses several medications, depending on a person’s needs. These include buprenorphine-based medications, such as Suboxone, Bunavail and Zubsolv, which can reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings, help prevent overdose and lower the risk of substance misuse.
Ideal Option also helps people who are taking methadone transition to buprenorphine. Research suggests the latter is safer because it is less addictive and does more to protect against overdose injuries.
Ideal Option Missoula is open Monday through Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., and most patients can begin care within one to three days. There’s no wait list, and they welcome walk-ins.
Some addiction treatment facilities require patients to stay sober in order to continue receiving care. That’s not the case with Ideal Option. They understand that a relapse doesn’t indicate a person isn’t committed to recovery. Rather than expelling a client from the program for relapsing, they’ll revise the person’s treatment plan to see how they can prevent future reuse.
