Stewards of Recovery

Stewards of Recovery is one of the few addiction treatment centers in southeastern Idaho offering a complete care continuum — from residential treatment through Intensive Outpatient (IOP) and standard outpatient programming — within a single CARF-accredited organization. For people who want consistency in their care team and community as they step down through levels of treatment, that continuity matters.

The center's capacity of 90 means it can serve a meaningful number of individuals at any given time without losing the structure that residential treatment requires. Whether someone enters through the residential program or starts with outpatient care, the goal is the same: building a recovery foundation strong enough to hold over the long term. Southeastern Idaho families looking for a recovery center — not just a short-term program — will find that Stewards of Recovery is oriented around exactly that commitment.

One of the clearest signals of how Stewards of Recovery approaches long-term recovery is what they offer after the primary treatment program ends. The center provides safe and sober housing, enhanced safe and sober housing, and transitional housing — with separate options for men and women. These aren't referrals to outside programs; they are part of the facility's own aftercare infrastructure.

Recovery coaching and peer support continue through the aftercare phase as well, keeping individuals connected to the recovery community as they navigate the early months back in everyday life. For family members evaluating treatment centers, this kind of built-in aftercare is worth weighing heavily. The transition out of residential treatment is often where recovery is most vulnerable, and Stewards of Recovery has structured its programming to address that gap directly.

Stewards of Recovery treats substance abuse alongside mental health conditions, trauma and PTSD, and co-occurring disorders — acknowledging that most people seeking addiction treatment are dealing with more than one issue at once. The center's therapeutic methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), individual counseling, group therapy, case management, and recovery coaching, giving clinicians multiple tools to address complex presentations.

Family therapy is also part of the confirmed program, which reflects a community-oriented recovery model. Recovery doesn't happen in isolation, and involving family members in the therapeutic process strengthens the support network that individuals will rely on long after leaving formal treatment. For families in southeastern Idaho trying to understand how they can be part of a loved one's recovery, Stewards of Recovery provides a structured way to participate.

The center works with adults, adolescents, and court-ordered individuals, making it one of the broader-serving addiction treatment programs in the Idaho Falls area. English-language services are available, and the program is equipped to handle the specific documentation and compliance requirements that come with court-ordered treatment referrals.

On the financial side, Stewards of Recovery accepts Medicaid, Medicare, Magellan, private insurance, and self-pay. For those who are uninsured or underinsured, a sliding scale fee structure based on the Federal Poverty Guidelines is in place — and the center's stated policy is that no one is turned away due to inability to pay. That commitment to access is meaningful in a region where treatment options can be limited and financial barriers can delay people from getting into care.
