Cottonwood Creek Behavioral Hospital

They provide inpatient hospital, outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Boise is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Which substances a place handles matters more than the word detox, and 2 of the 8 centers near Meridian offer one at all.

They treat both. Confirm it for the specific diagnosis rather than in general, because mental health treatment and recovery support services covers a lot of ground and Meridian may have a narrower service than a bigger city would.

They have a program for veterans. Ask whether the group is veterans only, because for a lot of people that is the point of it and in Meridian it may be mixed.

Meridian has 26 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

The block you are offered and the time the work takes are two different things, and that is the honest answer. Two centers quoting the same number of days can mean very different hours of treatment inside them. Ask what the schedule is day by day, because that is what you will be living.

The useful question is not whether a plan covers treatment but which level of care it will approve. An in network center costs less, and network lists go out of date, so it is worth verifying rather than trusting the list. Ask what the appeal process is before you need it.

Documents, prescriptions, clothing, and the phone numbers you would struggle to replace. A notebook and a couple of books are allowed almost everywhere and are worth more than most of what people pack. Sort the keys, the mail and the animals before the day rather than on it.
