Raise the Bottom Addiction Treatment

Federally Certified Opioid Treatment in an Outpatient Setting

Raise the Bottom Training and Counseling Services provides outpatient substance use treatment in Boise with a clear focus on opioid recovery. As a federally certified opioid treatment program, it offers methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone as part of medications for addiction treatment (MAT). Its outpatient model gives clients access to structured care without stepping away from work, family, or other daily obligations.

Counseling Paired With Medication and Telehealth Access

Treatment combines medication support with individual, group, family, and couples counseling, along with telehealth therapy for added access. Core approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, trauma-related counseling, anger management, relapse prevention, and substance use education. This combination gives clients both medical support for cravings and withdrawal and practical therapeutic tools they can use in everyday life.

Treatment for Co-Occurring Mental Health and Complex Needs

The program treats substance use disorders alongside co-occurring mental health concerns and serves clients with a wide range of needs, including trauma histories, chronic pain, and pregnancy or postpartum-related concerns. Comprehensive substance use and mental health assessments, medication for mental health conditions, mental health services, and trauma-related counseling support a more integrated approach to care. Specialized programming for veterans, older adults, and clients involved in the criminal justice system adds to the program’s breadth.

Practical Support That Strengthens Daily Stability

Raise the Bottom extends care beyond weekly counseling through services that support day-to-day stability. Case management, housing services, transportation assistance, employment counseling or training, help connecting to social services, discharge planning, continuing care, overdose education, and follow-up after discharge all help clients stay engaged in treatment and build a steadier routine. That mix of medical care, counseling, and recovery support makes this program a strong fit for people who need outpatient treatment tied closely to real-life recovery needs.

Client Reviews

Reviews point to caring staff, steady recovery support, and a welcoming clinic atmosphere. Some clients also suggest the program could improve around communication, wait times, and how some policy or dosing decisions are handled.

• Staff & Care Experience (80% positive): Many clients describe counselors, nurses, and front-desk staff as kind, respectful, and nonjudgmental, saying they felt heard from the start.
