About Walker Center Gooding Inpatient Drug and Alcohol Treatment
The Walker Center is a nonprofit that offers hope and healing to the community. Their beautiful residential facility is in rural Gooding, Idaho. They’ve been around since 1976 and offer detox and inpatient care. They’re accredited by CARF so you know you or your loved ones will be in excellent hands.
They work with many insurance providers like Aetna, United Behavioral Health, Magellan, Mountain Health and Beacon. They also have discounted self-pay options and accept Idaho State funding.
Inpatient Detox and Substance Use Treatment
During detox, you have 24/7 access to staff and constant monitoring to ensure you are safe and comfortable. They build their detox services into their inpatient program that lasts eight weeks. During these weeks, you’ll focus on mindfulness, physical wellbeing and experiential therapy. They even have an onsite ropes course.
At the Walker Center, you’ll be looked after by licensed and certified clinicians who are passionate about supporting you through your recovery. I like that they have an onsite health educator who develops a custom wellness and nutrition plan for you.
You’ll attend individual counseling sessions for personalized guidance and support. I’m impressed that they host lectures and group sessions where you can learn from others.
Family members are invited to visit on Sundays.
