ABOUT ROAD TO RECOVERY – POCATELLO CLINIC

TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Road to Recovery offers GAIN assessments to new clients to inform individualized treatment plans. Clients are encouraged to participate in community-based 12-step groups while they undergo treatment.
The Pocatello Clinic offers both an intensive outpatient program (IOP) and an outpatient program. The IOP program requires seven to 10 hours per week of programming. At the end of IOP treatment, clients transition to regular outpatient programming.
Treatment modalities include daytime individual counseling, group counseling in the evenings, Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), as well as relapse prevention, case management, recovery coaching, and life skills. An anger management and challenging denial workshop is also offered.
There are specialized programs catered toward women that address female-specific difficulties such as “family problems, lack of economic self-sufficiency, physical and sexual abuse, and the inability to cope with caring for children.” Pocatello Clinic can provide referrals to a variety of additional resources for pregnant women and women with children.

WHAT ALUMNI SAY
The two alumni surveyed by Best-rehabs.com to date provided mixed feedback regarding their experiences at Pocatello Clinic.
The alumni gave the facility’s cleanliness four- and five-star ratings. One anonymous alum noted that while it was a “good, clean facility” and the counselors were positive and willing to listen, it was overcrowded and did not offer individualized treatment. “For instance, group classes would contain people with all different types of substance abuse. It would have been nice to be with people that had similar addictions to me,” they wrote.
The alumni gave four- and five-star ratings for the staff’s level of training and experience and three- and four-star ratings for the facility’s holistic treatment options.
The other alum gave the facility four out of five stars for treatment effectiveness and noted that the facility “got me off the pills and taught me coping skills,” but also complained that it was too expensive.
FINANCING
According to the facility’s website, the Clinic accepts some private insurance, as well as BPA (state funded), IDOC (Department of Corrections), and Medicaid funded clients.
