And unfortunately, many residents just don’t know where to get the help they need to recover.
This guide to addiction resources in Salmon, Idaho takes a look at some of the best of these resources, from local support groups to professional treatment programs.
With addiction, a strong willpower can only get you so far. And unfortunately, most addicts who try to quit without building up a solid support system will succumb to cravings and end up relapsing soon after going clean.
Local support groups are great places to build up that essential support. They’re open to anyone looking for help, are usually free, and are found in most cities across the country.
Below are some of the best support groups in the Salmon area.
Perhaps the most popular support group in the world, Alcoholics Anonymous was founded in 1935. And since then, it’s grown to have more than 2.1 million active members in 2017.
It’s also the first group to use the 12-step model of recovery.
There are plenty of AA groups taking place around Salmon too.

Finding the right local support group is a pillar of any effective recovery program. But many times, these groups alone won’t be enough to stop a recovering addict from relapsing – especially during the initial stages of getting clean.
That’s where professional treatment programs come in. These programs use evidence-based strategies and techniques to give patients the best chances at long-term recovery. And without them, many people trying to quit will end up relapsing soon after getting clean.
There are two stages to professional treatment in particular: detoxification and rehabilitation.
Detoxification comes first. It’s focused on getting patients through the trying first stage of quitting called withdrawal. That’s when the body first readjusts to functioning normally without the addictive substance.
But withdrawal also comes with a variety of uncomfortable symptoms. Some of these symptoms include:
Many recovering addicts have such a hard time with this phase that they end up turning back to using just to find some sort of relief.
A professional detoxification program is designed to make these symptoms far more manageable. Plus, they also prevent and treat the numerous complications that can occur, some of which can be deadly without the right kind of help.
Drug and alcohol rehabilitation comes after detoxification. And it’s primarily concerned with the more long-lasting effects of addiction like compulsive drug-seeking and self-destructive behaviors.
These programs tend to use one-on-one counseling, group talk sessions, behavioral therapies, and other methods to reverse these behaviors and help patients adopt healthier life strategies.
There are a variety of different rehabilitation programs, but the three most common are inpatient, outpatient, and intensive outpatient programs (IOPs).
Salmon, Idaho has a number of addiction resources that residents can use to stay safe, sober, and supported throughout their recovery.
And when a professional treatment program is needed, Ashwood Recovery in Boise is hands down one of the best options in the state.
Ashwood Recovery is a three-tiered outpatient program that offers fully individualized programs with one of the highest staff-to-patient ratios in the region.
And whether you’re looking for drug rehabilitation or treatment for alcoholism, each program is nationally accredited by the Joint Commission.
However, we know that there’s no perfect program for everyone. A quick chat with an addiction specialist can help you determine if you’re a good fit.
We’re passionate about anyone’s recovery, though. So even if we aren’t a good match, we’d love to help you find a program that is.
