About State Hospital North
State Hospital North is a psychiatric hospital in Orofino, Idaho. They provide inpatient care for adults who need immediate help for severe mental illness. They also treat co-occurring conditions, like drug and alcohol addictions. Most people attend this program under a civil commitment offered through the court system.
The facility can hold up to 55 people at a time. Their goal is to stabilize you and address your symptoms so you can return to your community as soon as possible. Once they’ve reached that point, they’ll work with you and your family to decide what the next best step should be. They work closely with regional mental health centers that can offer follow up support after your hospitalization is over.
One of the things I like about this facility is that they balance medication and therapy with hands on activities to help you heal physically, mentally, and emotionally. During your inpatient treatment, you’ll participate in counseling sessions to help you understand and address your behavior. You’ll also exercise, focus on your nutrition, and attend educational classes that teach you how to live in recovery. If you need primary care at any point, they offer those services, too.
While one former client calls this the best place to go for inpatient care, others have shared stories of unprofessional conduct from the staff members and say the team’s communication needs serious work.

They added on to my diagnoses and over medicated me to the point I was drooling all over the place.I was hospitalized here in 2021 and now I m currently living in Washington.I tell my therapist everything and they told me that I don t have anti social personality disorder.They also told me that having assaultive behavior doesn t mean you have anti social personality disorder.She told maybe I was defending myself or I was taught to be assaultive at a young age.Now I m currently diagnosed with Bipolar with unspecified psychosis.Im also not taking hard core drugs anymore :)I have been going to Lourdes Counseling Center for almost a year now :) I bet you these people are diagnosing me correctly,because the mental health professionals known me for a long time:)
This is a horrible place to put your love one. If you want them to go quickly then put them here. My sister came out worse. When I called her she told me they were hurting her. For three days they would not let me talk to her. I kept calling three times a day. Finally I was able to get her out. She was in bad shape.Communication with them is terrible.Don t put ur love one here
Nearly killed me. The drug they administered is considered as being in the top ten worst drugs for your liver by Goodrx. Also.. a verified psychiatrist who worked here and quit told me it was a nightmare.

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
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.
Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.
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 Clients requiring treatment in an inpatient rehab are often those who need stabilization support as they exit detox or contend with a life crisis. Residing at the treatment facility enables clients to focus exclusively on their recovery. They engage in extensive psychotherapy and recovery-focused life skills training to support their sustained sobriety and prepare them for outpatient and community-based care. Evidence-based holistic therapies, such as experiential therapy and meditation, are also commonly available.
24-Hour Clinical Care The initial phase of addiction treatment typically involves 24-hour clinical care in Idaho. During this time, medical staff supervise the withdrawal process and treat any adverse symptoms or reactions that occur. These medical experts can prescribe and administer a number of medications proven to ensure the recovery process goes smoothly. For alcohol detox, benzodiazepines, valium, and Librium are often used to relieve symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. For cocaine detox, antidepressants such as desipramine or phentermine are used to treat cocaine withdrawal.
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
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.
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.
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.
Clinical Services
Research has shown that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in Idaho is one of the most effective forms of therapy to treat substance use disorders and accompanying mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression. The focus of this method is to learn about and change patterns of thinking and behavior.
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.
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.
Part of recovery is replacing unhealthy habits with healthy life skills. These include psychological skills and social skills that allow you to thrive post treatment. While in rehab in Idaho, you'll work on developing these skills so you have the tools you need for a new life.
Chronic substance use leads to biochemical imbalances that contribute to cravings and poor mental health. Nutrition therapy works to restore balance by giving your body the nutrients it needs for optimal performance.
Nicotine replacement therapy gives your body a small, controlled amount of nicotine to reduce withdrawal and cravings. Formats include patches, gum, and lozenges. These tools can double your chances of quitting long term.
