Raise the Bottom Training and Counseling Services

Raise the Bottom Training and Counseling Services operates as a certified Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) and CARF-accredited outpatient clinic in Boise, Idaho. The outpatient program model means clients engage in structured addiction treatment — including medication-assisted treatment, individual therapy, and group therapy — while remaining rooted in their home communities in Boise, Nampa, or Pocatello.

For people in recovery who need more than a short intervention but are not candidates for residential treatment, an outpatient program offers a sustainable middle path. Raise the Bottom's weekday morning schedule (Monday through Friday, 6:00 AM to 12:00 PM) is built around the realities of working adults and caregivers who cannot step away from daily responsibilities while still prioritizing their recovery.

Opioid addiction rarely travels alone. Raise the Bottom's outpatient program addresses trauma, PTSD, and co-occurring mental health disorders as part of its core treatment scope — not as a separate referral. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is integrated with medication management and group therapy to give clients tools that support recovery across multiple dimensions of their lives.

This dual diagnosis capability matters especially for populations like veterans, who often navigate both substance use and trauma simultaneously. By keeping these treatment threads connected within one outpatient program, clients work toward recovery without being passed between providers or losing continuity of care.

The clinic's population scope is one of its most distinctive features. Raise the Bottom serves veterans, pregnant women, young adults (18–25), seniors, men, women, individuals with HIV/AIDS, and people who are court-ordered into treatment. This breadth reflects a program designed to meet people where they are — regardless of age, background, or the circumstances that brought them to treatment.

Family-centered care is built into the program, recognizing that recovery affects entire households, not just the individual seeking help. For families navigating a loved one's opioid addiction in the Treasure Valley, Raise the Bottom offers a program that actively involves them in the recovery process.

Raise the Bottom accepts an unusually wide range of insurance coverage, including Medicaid, Medicare Part B, TRICARE/VA, and commercial plans from Aetna, Blue Cross of Idaho, Regence BlueSHield, Cigna, United Healthcare, Molina Healthcare, PacificSource, and others. Oregon Medicaid is also accepted, which may benefit clients near the Idaho-Oregon border or those with cross-state coverage.

Self-pay and state insurance options are available for those without commercial coverage. Multiple clinic locations extend access across the region, making it more realistic for clients in Nampa and Pocatello to participate in ongoing outpatient treatment without excessive travel burden — a practical consideration for anyone committed to long-term recovery.
