-
You must be an adult with no criminal
history of violent or sex offenses.
-
You must qualify financially. There are
different forms of payment that ARA will accept.
A) Self-pay (arrangements to be made with Executive
Director. Call Jack Gaskill at 208-522-6012).
B) State assistance: A person must first complete a phone
screening with the state to determine eligibility (1-800-922-3406) prior
to admission.
C) Some people who do not qualify for the first two forms of
payment may apply for United Way funds (eligibility
determined by Executive Director. Call Jack Gaskill at 208-522-6012).
D) ARA has contracts for treatment and transitional living through
the Idaho Department of Corrections. Your caseworker or counselor
along with ARA clinical staff determines eligibility for these
programs. You must be enrolled or have completed treatment successfully
inside of prison to access this program.
-
ARA does not accept insurance,
Medicaid or Medicare as forms of payment for treatment.
-
You must complete a full assessment of
your addiction issues before admission into treatment. Appointments can be
made for an assessment by contacting Sid Hamrick via telephone
(208-522-6012), mail (see mailing address at top of this webpage) or
email.
-
The average wait from point of first
contact to admission is five to 14 days for self-pay, and 45 to 90
days for people accessing state assistance. This extended wait time is
accounted for by the high volume of Idaho residents accessing the state
treatment system.
-
The average stay in treatment is between
six to eight weeks.
-
You will need to have had a Tuberculosis
test done within the eight months prior to your admission date. You will
not be admitted to treatment without the results of that test.
