About Boyd Andrew Community Services

Boyd Andrew Community Services, operating since 1974 in Helena, Montana, provides outpatient and intensive outpatient addiction treatment across Lewis and Clark County. This recovery center offers specialized programs for diverse populations including court-ordered clients and individuals with co-occurring disorders.

Boyd Andrew Community Services stands as Helena's longstanding outpatient addiction treatment provider, serving Lewis and Clark County and surrounding areas since 1974. Based at 60 South Last Chance Gulch Street, this recovery center operates satellite offices in Boulder, Whitehall, and Townsend to extend community-based care throughout the region. The facility uniquely combines traditional outpatient programs with specialized transitional living options, creating a comprehensive recovery ecosystem for sustained sobriety.

The center provides intensive outpatient program (IOP) and standard outpatient treatment for individuals with substance use disorders, alcohol use disorders, and co-occurring conditions. Treatment addresses trauma and PTSD through cognitive behavioral therapy approaches, with specialized tracks for court-ordered clients and DUI offenders. Boyd Andrew's residential components include the 55-bed Elkhorn Treatment Center for women in Boulder and transitional living facilities for both men and women, bridging the gap between intensive treatment and independent recovery living.

Cognitive behavioral therapy forms the foundation of Boyd Andrew's treatment philosophy, addressing both addiction and underlying mental health conditions. The center recognizes that sustainable recovery requires addressing trauma and co-occurring disorders alongside substance abuse treatment. This dual-diagnosis approach ensures clients receive comprehensive care that tackles root causes rather than symptoms alone.

Boyd Andrew serves men, women, adults, and adolescents, with particular expertise supporting deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals through American Sign Language services. Court-ordered clients receive specialized programming that meets legal requirements while fostering genuine recovery motivation. The center accepts Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, and TRICARE, with sliding scale fees making treatment accessible regardless of financial circumstances. Under CEO Amy Tenney's leadership, Boyd Andrew maintains its community-focused mission while adapting to modern recovery needs.

Outpatient Programs and Intensive Treatment Options

Boyd Andrew Community Services delivers flexible outpatient addiction treatment designed for individuals maintaining work, family, or educational commitments while pursuing recovery. The intensive outpatient program provides structured support for those transitioning from residential treatment or needing more intensive intervention than weekly counseling sessions.

Both programs utilize cognitive behavioral therapy to address substance abuse patterns and underlying triggers. Treatment plans accommodate court-ordered clients and individuals with co-occurring mental health conditions, ensuring comprehensive care that meets legal requirements while fostering genuine recovery motivation. The center's approach recognizes that outpatient treatment success depends on addressing trauma, PTSD, and dual-diagnosis conditions alongside addiction.

Sober Living and Transitional Housing Options

Beyond traditional outpatient programming, Boyd Andrew operates specialized transitional living facilities that bridge the gap between intensive treatment and independent recovery. The Men's Transitional Living Facility on 9th Avenue and Women's Living Facility provide structured environments for adults establishing long-term sobriety while rebuilding life skills.

The 55-bed Elkhorn Treatment Center in Boulder serves as a residential component specifically for women, while the Helena Prerelease Center supports adult males transitioning from incarceration. These facilities create a recovery community ecosystem where residents support each other's sobriety goals while accessing ongoing outpatient services.
