Located within the scenic Teton Valley right on the border of Wyoming, Victor is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and fresh air lovers alike. But within this small-town community lies a serious problem with drug and alcohol addiction.
And like so many other places across the state, many residents of this idyllic Idaho town struggle through the difficulties of addiction all on their own.
But thankfully, there are so many different resources that recovering addicts can take advantage of to stay safe, supported, and sober.
This guide to addiction resources in Victor, Idaho looks at some of the best resources in the area. And hopefully, it shows that no has to struggle through a substance use disorder on their own – especially in Victor.
Home › Drug Information › Victor Resource InformationWithout a doubt one of the most important factors in a recovery program is a strong social support network. Sure, willpower and dedication are helpful. But without emotional and motivational support, most recovering addicts will fall back into the cycle of addiction soon after quitting.
Local support groups are some of the best places to find the social support needed to overcome cravings and stay sober for good.
These groups are often free to attend, open to all, and widely available in most cities across the country.
Below are just some of the best local support groups in the Victor, ID area.
Perhaps the most well-known support group, Alcoholics Anonymous was founded in 1935 and has since grown to have more than 2.1 million members around the world.
What helped make this program so successful is the model of recovery it developed – the 12-step approach. This recovery modality is actually so successful that it’s been endorsed by the National Institute on Drug Abuse for helping maintain sobriety.
And in the Victor, Idaho area, there are quite a few AA meetings to choose from.

One of the very first offshoots of AA, Narcotics Anonymous was founded in 1953. And it has since used a modified 12-step approach to address substance addictions of all kinds. That means that addictions to heroin, cocaine, meth, and yes, even alcohol are all treated through NA.
Meetings are also free to attend, just like AA. And membership is open to anyone who is looking for a way to better control their substance abuse.
There are quite a few meetings around Victor too.

While alcoholism can lead to some very self-destructive behaviors, many friends and family members of problem drinkers are also often hurt along the way too. And for them, getting the right kind of support can end up being even harder.
That’s where Al-Anon comes in. This 12-step program helps victims of a loved one’s alcoholism by giving them the support and guidance they need to stay happy, healthy, and safe.
There are a number of Al-Anon groups taking place around Victor, ID too.

Many young people have an especially hard time opening up to support from groups like Al-Anon. And part of the problem is being surrounded by people two, three, or even four times their own age.
Alateen gathers people of similar ages (usually 10 to 20 years old) so that members feel more comfortable sharing their experiences and learning from those of others.
There are two Alateen groups in particular taking place in the Victor area.

Just as AA has Al-Anon, Narcotics Anonymous also has the friends and family group Nar-Anon. And that means that people hurt by their loved one’s substance abuse of any kind have a place to turn to for support.
Unfortunately, there aren’t any Nar-Anon groups taking place within 100 miles of Victor. However, you can have a look at their online meeting directory here to find a group close to you.
Growing up in an alcoholic home can be devastating. And for many, the trauma experienced here can often carry over well into adulthood, causing serious emotional and functional problems that may last a lifetime without help.
Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACoA) is another 12-step group devoted to helping adults who went through the traumatizing experience of growing up with an alcoholic and are still having problems. And it’s been a vital source of healing for many.
There are quite a few ACoA groups meeting around Victor, ID to have a look at.

The 12-step approach to recovery is a powerful one. However, it isn’t right for everyone. But luckily, there are a few alternatives to consider.
SMART Recovery is one of the best of these alternatives. These non-spiritual groups use the latest in addiction research to give members real-world strategies for coping with cravings, avoiding triggers, and staying sober permanently.
There are a number of SMART Recovery groups happening around Victor to have a look at.

While attending in-person meetings like those above is the best way to get much-needed support, not everyone will be able to make it into these face-to-face groups. It could be a full schedule, a lack of transportation, or even just embarrassment because of the numerous stigmas surrounding addiction.
No matter the reason, there are other options. And online groups are some of the best.
These groups can take place through a variety of mediums, including email, chat-rooms, or even video calls. Each group has their own way of meeting.
Below are the best places to start finding an online group that works for you.
Support is a vital part of any successful recovery. But it and it alone often isn’t enough to keep recovering addicts from turning back to substance abuse. And this is especially true during the initial stages of getting clean, which can often be the hardest.
That’s where a professional addiction treatment program comes in. These programs are founded on evidence-based strategies and techniques that are actually proven to help during the initial stages of recovery.
And without these formal programs, many addicts simply won’t be able to resist turning back to substance abuse soon after first trying to quit.
There are two main types of programs in particular: detoxification and rehabilitation.
Detoxification – Stage one of the recovery process, detoxification is just as helpful as it is vital for staying clean. That’s because it deals exclusively with the withdrawal phase – when the body is first re-learning how to function normally without the addictive substance.
And it’s during this phase that a number of extremely uncomfortable side effects known as withdrawals assault the recovering addict.   Â
Some of the most common withdrawals include:
These withdrawals can often be so overwhelming that recovering addicts will feel compelled to turn back to using just to get relief from the symptoms. And thus, they often begin the cycle of addiction all over again.
A professional detoxification program treats these symptoms to make them far more manageable. And they also protect patients from the serious and sometimes deadly complications that can occur along the way.
Rehabilitation – This stage comes after detox. And it deals more with the mental side of addiction by treating the compulsive drug-seeking and self-destructive behaviors that are so common with addiction.
Most programs use a combination of one-on-one counseling, group talk sessions, and behavioral therapies.
There are three main types of rehab programs too.
Unfortunately, there aren’t any addiction treatment centers within Victor itself. That being said, making the choice to travel outside of Victor can in fact be a great long-term decision for your recovery. Â
Doing so actually opens up the door to a wider variety of treatment programs. That means more treatment methods, strategies, and proven expertise are available to choose from. And that can translate into a higher rate of success.
There are a few other benefits to travelling for treatment to consider. Below are some of the best. Â
