Tailored Mental Health Care for Teens and Their Families

This program offers specialized care for adolescents experiencing anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, and other mental health challenges. Teens receive a mix of traditional and innovative therapies—including Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)—in Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) settings. Case management, family therapy, and virtual options help strengthen the support systems around each young person, with dedicated care for military and tribal families.

A Restorative Space That Feels Like Home

The residential setting in Pocatello blends natural beauty with warmth and comfort. Wooded hillsides and natural light frame communal spaces designed for reflection and connection, creating an atmosphere that feels more like a mountain home than a clinical center. This environment reinforces emotional safety and calm—key ingredients for healing.

Integrated Mental Health and Dual Diagnosis Care

Care is trauma-informed and structured to support people living with both mental health conditions and substance use. Clients participate in individual, group, and family therapy using evidence-based and experiential approaches. With residential, outpatient, and virtual treatment options, the program provides stability that adapts to life’s changes, allowing clients to maintain progress at any stage.

What Patients Say

Moonlight Mountain is regularly described as life-changing. Clients often highlight the warmth and dedication of the staff, as well as the strong peer support and sense of belonging. Some choose to extend their stay voluntarily, crediting the program with helping them through trauma and into lasting recovery.
