How We Rank Listings
Our directory brings together licensed and accredited drug and alcohol treatment providers in Boise so you can compare them in one place. Listings draw on public data from SAMHSA, state licensing records, and accrediting bodies such as the Joint Commission and CARF, along with details reported by the facilities themselves.
We prioritize programs that hold current accreditation, verifiable state licensure, and transparent information about levels of care, payment options, and specialty services. A listing on this page is not an endorsement, and placement does not reflect payment from any facility. We encourage you to verify current availability, insurance acceptance, and program details directly with any provider before making a decision.

Rehab in Boise: What to Know
Boise, the seat of Ada County and the largest city in Idaho, anchors the Treasure Valley region and its behavioral health network. Our directory currently lists 32 drug and alcohol treatment facilities serving the Boise area, spanning medical detox, residential care, and outpatient services. For a broader view of options across the state, you can also browse the full Idaho rehab directory.
Ada County has the most comprehensive range of outpatient services, mental health programs, sober living, and recovery support of any county served by Central District Health, the public health district covering Ada, Boise, Elmore, and Valley counties. A regional cornerstone is Allumbaugh House, operated by Terry Reilly Health Services, which provides short-term, medically monitored detox and mental health crisis care to residents of those four counties. Access to state-funded and Medicaid treatment across the region is coordinated through Magellan of Idaho, which manages the substance use disorder network for the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare.
Fentanyl and methamphetamine remain the primary drug threats in the Treasure Valley. Ada County sits within the Boise area covered by Central District Health’s District 4, which recorded 60 of the 188 fentanyl-related deaths reported statewide in 2022, the largest share of any health district in Idaho. That local reality has shaped how Boise providers approach care, with growing emphasis on opioid use disorder treatment and medication-assisted options.
Idaho reshaped its harm reduction approach in 2024 when the Legislature repealed the state’s syringe exchange law, leading to the closure of the Idaho Harm Reduction Project. As a result, Boise’s harm reduction efforts now center on naloxone distribution, overdose education, and safe medication disposal rather than syringe services. Understanding the range of addiction treatment options available locally can help you or a loved one identify the right level of support.
Cost of Rehab in Boise
Idaho is consistently among the most affordable states in the country for drug and alcohol rehab, and Boise reflects that statewide picture. Because published cost data is reported at the state level, the figures below represent Idaho averages rather than Boise-specific pricing. Actual costs depend on your level of care, length of stay, the facility you choose, and your insurance coverage.
Cost varies widely from one program to the next, but several factors consistently shape what you will pay. If cost is a barrier, Boise has sliding-scale and financial assistance options, and verifying your benefits is often the fastest way to understand your out-of-pocket responsibility. You can learn more about using insurance for rehab before you commit to a program.
How to Pay for Rehab in Boise
Across the 32 Boise-area facilities in our directory, most accept a mix of self-payment, private insurance, and public coverage, and many offer options to help people without insurance access care. The snapshot below shows how commonly each payment type is accepted among local programs.
Understanding which of these options applies to your situation can make treatment far more accessible. The subsections below explain the most common ways Boise residents pay for care.
Medicare
Medicare covers medically necessary addiction treatment for eligible adults, including inpatient care, outpatient services, and mental health support for co-occurring conditions. Twelve Boise-area facilities in our directory accept Medicare. Coverage details, including copays and covered levels of care, depend on your specific plan, so it helps to review how Medicare covers addiction treatment before enrolling in a program.
Medicaid
Idaho Medicaid covers substance use disorder treatment, and the state’s behavioral health network is managed by Magellan of Idaho on behalf of the Department of Health and Welfare. Twenty-four Boise-area facilities accept Idaho Medicaid, and coverage generally includes assessment, outpatient counseling, and medication used in medication-assisted treatment for opioid and alcohol use disorders. Idaho Medicaid also covers naloxone with no copay at participating pharmacies.
Military Benefits
TRICARE covers inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment, detoxification, and medication-assisted treatment for active-duty service members, veterans, and their families, and 13 Boise-area facilities accept it. The Boise VA Medical Center also provides comprehensive substance use disorder care for eligible veterans in the Treasure Valley. Additional rehab resources for veterans can help service members and families navigate their options.
Insurance and Private Pay
Private health insurance is accepted at 24 Boise-area facilities, and self-payment is the most widely accepted option, at 31 programs. Under federal law, most private plans must cover mental health and substance use disorder services as essential health benefits, though your out-of-pocket cost depends on your deductible, network, and plan design. Verifying your benefits before admission is the clearest way to understand what you will owe.
Other Low-Cost Options
For those who are uninsured or underinsured, 11 Boise-area programs offer sliding-scale fees, 13 offer financial assistance, and 6 offer financing. Terry Reilly Health Services, which operates Allumbaugh House, provides care on a sliding fee scale based on income, making treatment accessible regardless of ability to pay. If you are exploring ways to reduce costs, learning about rehab scholarships is another avenue worth considering.

Levels of Care Available in Boise
Boise-area facilities offer a full continuum of care, including 7 medical detox facilities, 8 inpatient rehab programs, and 27 standard outpatient clinics, along with partial hospitalization and dual diagnosis options. The cards below show how many local programs offer each level of care.
Medical detox is often the first step for people with physical dependence on alcohol or opioids, providing 24-hour monitoring to manage withdrawal safely. Boise’s Allumbaugh House is a key regional provider of short-term, medically monitored supervised detox.
Inpatient and residential rehab offers structured, live-in care with housing, meals, therapy, and round-the-clock support, which suits people who benefit from a fully immersive environment away from daily triggers. Learn more about residential treatment and what to expect.
Partial hospitalization programs provide near-daily clinical support during the day while allowing you to return home in the evenings, bridging the gap between residential and outpatient care. See how PHP treatment fits into the continuum of care.
Standard outpatient care is the most widely available level in Boise and lets you continue working or caring for family while attending therapy on a set schedule. Explore the range of outpatient rehab formats available.
Dual diagnosis programs treat a substance use disorder alongside co-occurring conditions such as co-occurring depression or anxiety, which is essential because untreated mental health symptoms can undermine recovery.
Sober living homes and continuing care support the transition back to daily life after formal treatment, offering structure and peer accountability. A strong rehab aftercare plan is one of the strongest predictors of sustained recovery.
Specialty Programs in Boise
Many Boise-area facilities tailor treatment to specific populations and needs, which can improve engagement and outcomes when care reflects a person’s lived experience. The programs below meet the local availability shown in our directory.
Boise’s strongest specialty coverage is for younger clients, with 29 programs serving young adults and college-age individuals, a group that fentanyl has hit especially hard in Idaho. Providers also offer gender-specific tracks, with 21 men’s programs and 20 women’s programs. Alcohol remains one of the most common reasons people seek help locally, and 21 facilities focus on alcohol use disorder, while 18 address opioid use disorder. Six programs offer LGBTQ+ affirming addiction care, and 4 provide services designed for veterans and military families, complementing the care available through the Boise VA Medical Center.

Drug and Alcohol Use Statistics in Boise
Idaho reached a record 386 drug overdose deaths in 2023, the highest annual total since the state began tracking data in 1999, and fentanyl has become the dominant driver of that increase. The figures below place Boise and Ada County in the context of these statewide and regional trends.
The concentration of fentanyl deaths in the Boise area underscores why local providers have expanded access to medication-assisted treatment and naloxone. For a national comparison of these trends, see the latest national substance use statistics. Idaho’s fentanyl overdose death rate did decline 36 percent from 2023 to 2024, an early sign that expanded prevention and treatment efforts may be having an effect.
