28-DAY ALCOHOL DETOX & REHAB PROGRAM IN BOISE, IDAHO

What's Your Day One?

Admission Day is often the most important. Not only does this mark the day that you made the decision to take back your own life, it is also the day where we get to know you and begin creating your personalized treatment plan to recovery.

Although Day One is very important, it is certainly not the easiest day. There is a lot to do to prepare both you and our staff for the road ahead. Here is a breakdown of what you can expect on your Day One:

• Once you arrive, an admissions representative will begin the intake process by recording your basic information and background. At this point there will be some paperwork, medical background checks, insurance forms, and payment processes to go through in order to get you set up in the system.
• When all of the necessary paperwork and questionnaires are complete, you will be introduced to your Greeter. A Greeter is another patient, like you, who already knows the ropes - facility floor plan, schedule, and all of the basic necessities for getting comfortable during those first days at Northpoint. Your Greeter will give you a tour of the facilities and explain a few of the things to expect in the coming days.
• Next, you will be given a complete medical assessment, biosocial exam, and, if possible, a psychiatric evaluation by our on-site doctors to determine where your health is at, physically, socially, and emotionally. If a psychiatric evaluation is not possible the first day, it will be performed very soon afterward. Once all of these assessments are complete, the doctors will formulate an initial treatment plan and prescribe the appropriate medications to help soothe withdrawal symptoms during the detox phase. At this point, your personal counselor will also be advised on your individual medical needs and the recommended treatment plan for the following days.
• From the very first day, on-site medical professionals and counselors will begin to formulate the right discharge plan for you. Northpoint offers several different discharge plans and aftercare programs to smooth the transition into a liberated sober lifestyle. This program will be discussed and planned from Day One.

Days 7 - 28: Rehabilitation

Also called residential care, rehab is the process of treating your psychological and social dependence on alcohol. The process begins as a slow transition during detox and progresses to a full 56 hours of treatment each week thereafter. During this phase, a large variety of activities, therapeutic practices, evaluations, and treatments will help your counselors to determine the nature of your psychological addiction and the best ways to overcome it. Here are a few of the treatments and therapeutic activities we offer during residential care:

• Cognitive behavioral therapy
• Dialectical behavior therapy
• Personal counseling
• Gender-specific process groups
• Education and classes on a variety of subjects
• Mindfulness
• Bibliotherapy (therapeutic storytelling)
• Art therapy
• Strength-based therapy
• Local community activities and assimilation
