The staff provides inpatient care to individuals who are experiencing a life threatening crisis. After finishing their stay at the facility, they can be referred to Western Montana Mental Health Center’s addiction treatment location if needed.

The staff might begin teaching you coping skills that can be effective for avoiding substance use as a coping mechanism. The treatment team and the crisis facility staff focus on guiding you towards resolving your crisis and helping you develop a plan for continuing care after you leave the facility.
A great sober activity you can consider is visiting the various history and art museums that are in town. One option that I think stands out is the Montana Natural History Center. It has an art gallery, a native plant garden, and interactive exhibits.
