About Acadia Montana Treatment Center
Located in Butte, Montana, the Acadia Montana Treatment Center was a behavioral health treatment facility that provided wraparound care to children and adolescents ages 5 to 18. If your child was struggling with at risk behaviors, including experimenting with drugs, alcohol or other substances, this center offered supportive care to help them develop positive behaviors to guide their life in the right direction.
Unfortunately, this facility has since shut down but when they were open, they served as a safe haven for families from all walks of life, including those impacted by mental health challenges or those from military families. They also accepted insurance from most major insurance providers.
Wraparound, Evidence Based Care
Their approach to treatment here was rooted in evidence based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Because many of the children here had endured traumatic experiences, there was also a strong focus on trauma informed care.
Tranquil Recovery Environment
The facility sat on 60 acres, providing a beautiful and tranquil setting where children could focus fully on their treatment plans. It was a large facility, accommodating up to 108 children at a time. Nestled near the Rocky Mountains and close to Yellowstone National Park, the location offered a unique environment for children and their families to connect with nature and explore these breathtaking landmarks.
On the grounds, you would have found a variety of amenities including a soccer field, basketball and volleyball courts, and even a climbing tower. There was also a fully accredited school on site, allowing children to keep up with their academics while receiving treatment.
Latest Reviews
Not only is Acadia a complete mess of malnourished and uncared for patients, not even the staff like working there. If you're looking for help in any way, consider a crack den. It might provide better results than any "therapy" tactic used here.
This place is a traumatic facility to send your children to. They have disrespectful staff, bad ethics and the place is an absolute mess. I was here years ago, and it was absolutely traumatizing for me. They dissociate transgender residents and refuse to acknowledge them. The head of the place was awful about these standards, stating that you cannot feasibly change your gender, especially under such conditions as a treatment facility. The staff was okay, some were amazing, some not so much so, and many who were with me way back when have left on their own accord, thus also proving how awful they treat their employees, let alone residents. You get no knowledge of the outside world, and are left feeling as though you are jailed away from society. The therapists never help either, and you only see them on their own schedule, and not if you needed to see them at such a discouraging time. I threatened to sue them over their corrupt teachings, and my father planned on helping me and they stripped all contact from my father for 8 months! Please do not send your children here, lest they be traumatized for much of their young adult life. It has taken me up until recently to block away some of the awful memories I possessed from residing here twice within the span of 2 years for 8 months each. 0/10. Do not recommend at all! Stay far away, please!
I m putting this publicly. Parents I plead with you. Do not put your children in this facility. There are better places that provide better care. I was a resident here 8 years ago and what I witnessed to what I ve experienced is horrific. The staff did not care about the children. They were cruel to us. If a child acted out like a child did, they would inject some type of tranquilizer in the child s buttocks. My parents were not informed when this happened. They do not care. Please to all parents I implore you DO NOT put your child in here

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
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.
Aftercare Support Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
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.
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.
Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.
Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and dysfunctional eating patterns. Many psychologists and other mental health professionals consider eating disorders to be food addictions, meaning food is being used in an addictive way (similar to drug or alcohol addiction). Certain substance abuse treatment programs will have treatment for eating disorders as one of the services offered. An eating disorder may also present as a co-occuring disorder or dual diagnosis alongside drug and alcohol addiction.
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.
Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.
Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.
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.
