Zelus Recovery is an addiction and co-occurring mental health treatment organization. They have two locations, including the treatment center in Meridian, Idaho. They specialize in treating adolescents and young adults with substance use disorder (SUD), primarily individuals ages 14-24.
The facility accepts insurance from most major health plans. They also have payment options available for uninsured clients. This outpatient recovery center is easily accessible from I-84 and Idaho Highway 55.
The facility specializes in supporting teens and young adults who face special age-based challenges when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction. Peer pressure is especially difficult for this age group, and many teens and young adults grapple with academic challenges, trauma and difficult family dynamics.
The program assists young clients in improving their confidence and navigating the difficulties of youth without turning to substances. Clients have remarked on how the program helped improve their confidence, family relationships and communication skills.
The center is nine miles from Boise, making it a convenient location for families. There are many community resources available that support healing. The 58-acre Julius M. Kleiner Memorial Park is nearby.
This is a nice place for families to relax and recharge between therapy sessions. The park has public art, a community garden, a labyrinth, obelisks and room to roam. The treatment program stresses early intervention to prevent the escalation of substance use.
They integrate evidence based therapies, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), with a holistic approach. They teach teens and young adults how to create healthy peer relationships, resist unhealthy peer pressure, and develop appropriate coping skills. Many families have credited the youth specialization and early intervention as being pivotal to helping a loved one turn their life around and maintain sobriety.
Our Methodology
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.
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.
Intensive Outpatient 
Outpatient 
Intervention Services 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.
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.
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.
Addiction is often referred to as a family disease. One reason is the great impact parents and loved ones suffer when living with the daily challenges addiction can bring. Not only is it extremely difficult to watch someone struggle with substance abuse, but caregivers often forget to make sure their own needs are being met. Zelus Recovery can help people learn how to be there for their loved one and strategies for taking care of themselves.
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.

The time I have spent here at Zelus recovery has been invaluable. The staff here strive for excellence and professionalism. I have never missed a day and look forward to coming in. They genuinely want to help those who wish to help themselves. I have struggled with addiction ...
I believe that they are more publicity than good service in terms of mental health. I was treated last year and my advances were negative month after month.
Wonderful, professional, and caring people who truly want to help. Roberto is the best therapist out there. No one compares to how amazing he is at getting to the root of people’s issues and supplying them with tools that will change their life (if you’re willing to put in the work to learn). I can never repay him for all he’s done for our family. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.
I have experience with the teen PHP program. All of the staff from the front desk to the therapists to the owner are amazing. You can tell they truly care and are trying to help teens recover from substance abuse. I do appreciate the family inclusion in the program. As the family can be a huge part in the child’s recovery. This was one of the most difficult times in our lives and truly grateful for our time at Zelus. Hope you all are doing well. 💕👍 keep up the good work
This is a team of professionals who honestly care about every single person who walks in their doors. They have separate groups for all ages find recovery. Their program is flexible and works around life commitments so that you can still participate in life while you get sober. If you’re looking for an out patient rehab, they’re look no further.
As a teen who was in the program please rethink where you send your child, my dad sent me to zelus when i was 15, zelus tore me and my dad apart putting a wedge between us, they are more worried about milking you for all they can. Roberto a “ group leader” at zelus told one of my peers that “i would never amount to anything” and that “i would never get clean” it’s been 4 years since i was kicked out of zelus for drawing on the side walk and ive been sober for 4 years no thanks are do to zelus. EVERYONE CAN CHANGE, this program makes kids feel like they’re evil instead of helping them thro the trama loneliness emotions and pain of being a teen addict.
Without a doubt, if you, your loved one or your child is willing to put in the work - this place will not only help provide the tools needed to become healthy but to stay healthy. Their system of individual and group therapy sessions, was life changing for me! Thank you! It's VERY important for me to share that from day one, I was reminded that my best thinking is what got me here. So, I highly recommend this treatment facility and its faculty. Don't over think it. Just do the work. Keep to the basics and build a strong support group of healthy 'clean' people around you. I was told to 'Go after my recovery more than I did my addiction.' The people at Zelus aren't magic and can't or won't waive a magic wand to your addition, but they will give incredible life lesson recipes, treatment plans, and counseling that can help you overcome and live healthy. Once more, thank you Zelus.
I have nothing but positive things to say about the professionals that work here and their establishment. The whole staff is incredibly professional, thorough, invested, and knowledgeable. The five star ratings are extremely consistent with my experience with them. That outlier from Topher D is absolutely NOT my experience with Zelus, and I would take that with a grain of salt and compare it to every other comment left here. I would highly recommend Zelus to my own family and friends, and consider them a gem of mental health here in the Valley.
There was no accountability or consequences for my sons negative behavior while he was at Zelus. Besides verbal confirmation that his actions were inappropriate. I feel like monetary gain from insurance was prioritized over removing my son from the program at Zelus so he could be placed somewhere better able to help him. My son has a conduct disorder and a lot of treatment facilities won’t even take kids with conduct disorders because they know kids need a higher level of care. To sum it up my son wasted two years with Zelus and on probation. Only to be released with no help and go right back to doing drugs. Please do your research and make sure this program is going to be a good fit before enrolling your loved ones. It might be helpful to have a psychological evaluation done as well.
Zelus Recovery has had a positive impact on our community through the excellent treatment provided to our young people. It is heart warming to see broken children restored and shattered families made whole.
Practical and Insightful Working with Zelus Recovery proves there are genuine, informed, and discerning professionals in the field of addiction treatment. The Treasure Valley area is fortunate to have this resource. If only every individual and family affected by addiction could have access to this kind of care and commitment.
