KH Counseling and Health Center

For people in Hailey and the surrounding Blaine County area, KH Counseling and Health Center provides outpatient substance abuse treatment without requiring a departure from everyday life. Outpatient programming is a cornerstone of sustained recovery — it bridges the gap between intensive residential treatment and independent living, or serves as a primary treatment setting for those whose circumstances call for flexibility.

KH Counseling's outpatient program is built to address substance use alongside co-occurring mental health conditions, including trauma and PTSD. This dual-focus approach acknowledges what long-term recovery research consistently shows: that unaddressed mental health conditions are among the most common drivers of relapse. By treating both simultaneously in an outpatient setting, the center supports clients in building recovery that holds up in real-world conditions.

KH Counseling and Health Center takes a notably inclusive approach to who walks through its doors. The center serves adolescents, young adults between 18 and 25, adults of all genders, pregnant women, veterans, seniors, individuals with HIV/AIDS support needs, and those referred through the court system. Few outpatient programs in a community the size of Hailey serve this wide a cross-section of the population under one roof.

This breadth matters for the recovery community. It means a veteran processing trauma-related substance use, a young adult navigating early recovery, and a senior managing long-standing dependency can all access locally based outpatient care without traveling to a larger city. The center's schedule — Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. — supports clients who are balancing treatment with work, caregiving, or school.

Cost should not determine who gets access to substance abuse treatment, and KH Counseling and Health Center has structured its payment options accordingly. The center accepts Medicaid, Medicare, state insurance, and private insurance, and also works with clients who are paying out of pocket through self-pay and cash options.

For those without adequate coverage, KH Counseling offers a sliding scale fee structure, financial assistance, and payment plans — tools that meaningfully expand who can sustain ongoing outpatient care. To discuss specific coverage and financial options, contact the center directly at (208) 928-7507. Staff can help prospective clients and families understand what payment pathways are available before a first appointment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the confirmed therapeutic method at KH Counseling and Health Center. CBT is particularly well-matched to outpatient treatment because it equips clients with practical, transferable skills — ways of recognizing and interrupting the thought patterns that fuel substance use. Clients work on these skills during sessions and then apply them in their daily environments, which is exactly the context where lasting change is built.

The center formally addresses co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis alongside substance use, as well as trauma and PTSD — conditions that frequently intersect with addiction and, when left untreated, undermine recovery. By integrating mental health treatment into the outpatient program, KH Counseling positions itself as more than a standalone substance abuse program; it functions as a broader recovery center for the whole person.
