Typically, clients at Kootenai Behavioral Health start with detox. You’ll have 24/7 medical supervision to make sure you’re safe and as comfortable as possible while you detox. After this, you’ll go into the intensive outpatient program.

At its core, this program focuses on group therapy. You’ll attend group sessions 3 times per week for 8 weeks. The program will include evidence based therapy techniques for substance use disorder like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. You may also receive family therapy and addiction education. Group sessions will also include courses in life skills, coping, trauma resolution, self care and relapse prevention.

After eight weeks of intensive outpatient treatment, you’ll transition to weekly outpatient support meetings once each week. Group sessions are available with telehealth too for those days when you don’t have a way to get to the center, don’t have time for the commute, or just aren’t feeling up to an in-person gathering.
