Port of Hope Centers

Closed: Coeur d'Alene, Idaho

About Port of Hope Centers

Port of Hope Centers had three nonprofit drug and alcohol treatment centers, of which this was one in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. They provided several services as a certified nonprofit organization where you could receive affordable treatment from experienced and trained mental health professionals. Unfortunately, this location has now closed, but Port of Hope still has locations in Boise and Nampa.

Social Detoxification with Nearby Medical Assistance

They offered screening and assessment here to help determine your needs and identify a substance abuse problem. This information allowed the staff to create a customized plan for your situation and needs. Treatment may have started with social detoxification, which was a non-medical environment where you would have the support of knowledgeable professionals to help you through withdrawal.

No medications were used but there was nearby medical assistance should the need arise. Their intensive residential treatment program provided a home like environment where you stayed for 90 days while attending therapy sessions and educational classes. The length of your stay depended on your initial comprehensive assessment.

Once you completed the residential portion of your recovery journey, they offered an intensive outpatient program that included required classes and professional counseling. You could also begin your program in the intensive outpatient program when your assessment indicated this level of care was best for your treatment.

Programs for Driving Under the Influence

They offered driving under the influence – DUI – evaluation services that met court mandated assessments and provided DUI education classes to help understand the consequences of your choices.

Individual and group counseling sessions were available on site in a positive and safe environment where you could receive support and hope from others who were in similar situations.

They began as a sober living environment in 1971. As a non-profit organization they depended on the community’s support to be able to provide low cost treatment to people who need it most.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

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.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Clients participating in a rehab aftercare program receive a variety of services designed to support their sustained sobriety and successful reintegration into their home, workplace, and community. Rehab aftercare services may include formal outpatient care, such as addiction counseling and recovery education provided in an outpatient treatment center. They may also include community-based services, including 12 step program induction, peer coaching, and vocational training. These programs are typically designed in partnership with the client's case manager.

Many recovery centers base their treatment models on 12 step programming, which emphasizes spiritual development and peer coaching. 12 step recovery is designed to help participants address the root causes of their addiction, take accountability for their choices, and let go of that over which they are powerless. Though these programs prioritize spiritual growth, religious affiliation isn't required. Participants regularly attend anonymous, free, peer-directed meetings and are mentored by a peer sponsor.

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

When an individual's life is negatively impacted by substance use but they are resistant to treatment, a drug intervention in Idaho may be appropriate. Drug intervention programs are designed to break through this resistance and motivate the person to get help. During the intervention, the specialist helps loved ones bring reality to the individual and break through barriers that are preventing them from getting the help they need.

Aa a form of outpatient treatment, a partial hospitalization program (PHP) typically requires a minimum of 20 hours' treatment per week for an average of 90 days. PHPs commonly include individual therapy, group counseling, relapse prevention strategies, and medication management. The program duration may span around 90 days but can be tailored to your needs. Insurance coverage for a partial hospitalization program can vary, however, is often fully or partially covered.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in Idaho provides treatment for addiction to drugs. It usually includes a combination of treatment methods that can involve counseling, medication, and a variety of evidence-based therapies. Programs are designed to help individuals manage their substance use disorder long-term.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

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 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.

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.

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.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

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.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

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.

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.

Group therapy teaches participants in Idaho how to learn and practice conflict resolution skills. Within the group, you learn how to improve relationships and reduce stress. Both of these are crucial for achieving and maintaining your recovery.

Men and women in Idaho may choose a customized drug and alcohol treatment approach using individual therapy. This focuses your attention on the unique challenges in your life and helps you understand the triggers and stressors that increase your risk of drug use. You develop healthier coping strategies to promote sustainable sobriety.

I WISH I could give -5 stars. I never really do reviews and if EVER it’s positive. But this place is just downright HORRIBLE. Kim (the receptionist) could be very friendly, but god forbid you say something (anything) that rubs her the wrong way, she’ll literally straight talk down to you, make you feel like crap for no reason. I came in early one time and she was obviously just having a bad morning, and she gave everyone checking in, an attitude , she’ll yell at you and slam her window shut too. It’s just so unprofessional, grown adults who cannot control their temper. Especially in a place where people come for help and are very vulnerable. Do not work in a healthcare clinic if you can fly off the handle at any moment. The nurse practitioner (Vince) does NOT like addicts in general I’ve heard it myself. And he didn’t even try to hide it. Which really begs the question why you would even work at a place strictly for addicts? We’re all just trying to get better and keep a needle out of our arm and dying. Nobody LIKES being an addict. But at a place where we desperately need help and to get talked down to like your smaller than him because you’ve used before is mentally so frustrating and just sad. I can’t tell you how many times he’s made me cry, and even then he doesn’t lighten up. Even if you’re being transparent and not giving any reason to deserve every encounter to be that way. Even if he’s bit being rude to you… you can just obviously tell he judges and just does not want to talk with you. Then the dosing nurse in the back… she also has crossed the line so many times with so many people. The whole lobby can hear her literally yelling at patients anytime this happens. She’s told patients to shut up, to not talk to her, she’ll put her hand up to your face, roll her eyes and say “whatever” . I mean… I have never in my life seen professional adults treat people the way they do, and it’s pretty often, and it’s multiple people nonetheless! I understand customers can be frustrating, or rude, but hold your composure. Tell them to exit the building. Whatever… but instead of trying to de-escalate, the make it 19x worse by screaming back , cussing like sailors at us, and will go back and forth. It’s like they need to get the last word or something. I get being frustrated and dealing with difficult people. But you’re nurses, and customer service representatives. You cannot act like that! If you can’t control yourself , then don’t work with customers. Find another job. Because this job isn’t for the weak. I get it, it’s hard. But you chose this job. I think you all should do us and yourselves a favor and leave. Bring in new people that actually care about our recovery and helping us. You know? The way it should be? There’s absolutely no discipline at this place. They say/do whatever and never even get talked to. And now it’s been a while if this, so it’s just gotten so much worse and it’s pretty out of control. They’ll talk crap about other customers, RIGHT in front of other customers. There’s favoritism between clients and the people that work there as well. I’m so surprised this place is still standing. But one day it’ll catch up. Most of the people that need to come here cannot leave since it’s the only clinic close. They serve us medication that makes us sick if we don’t take it. So it’s difficult to go somewhere else. A lot of people I’ve talked to, including myself… ABSOLUTELY DREAD GOING IN THERE. It WAS a very friendly and nice place at one point…. Literally blew other clinic out of the water because you didn’t just feel like a number. But now I’d rather go to the other ones, even they didn’t treat us the way BHG does. You feel LESS than a number. I’m not writing this to just be petty, and try to sabotage or anything. But to let other clients know it’s not them, it’s the staff…. So…many… people I’ve talked to feel the same about everything in this post. So I’m talking for so much more than myself. It’s just very sad. I hope to god things change at some point, but I’m not holding my breath.
