Addiction Treatment for Helena and Lewis and Clark County

Addiction can change how a person thinks, feels, communicates, works, parents, and handles stress. Whether someone is struggling with alcohol, opioids, fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine, prescription medications, or more than one substance, treatment can help create a foundation for change.
Elk Ridge Recovery supports Helena and Lewis and Clark County residents with care that is practical, compassionate, and focused on long term recovery. Our program helps clients understand the patterns behind substance use while building tools for relapse prevention, emotional regulation, healthy routines, and life after treatment.
What We Treat
Elk Ridge Recovery provides care for adults struggling with substance use disorders and co occurring mental health concerns. Every person’s experience with addiction is different, which is why treatment should be individualized and centered on the needs of the person.
Alcohol Addiction Treatment
Alcohol addiction can affect physical health, mood, relationships, job performance, and family life. Our alcohol rehab support helps clients identify triggers, understand drinking patterns, build relapse prevention skills, and prepare for continued sobriety after treatment.
Drug Addiction Treatment
Drug addiction may involve opioids, fentanyl, heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, prescription medications, or polysubstance use. Elk Ridge Recovery provides structured care to help clients begin rebuilding stability, accountability, and hope.
Opioid Addiction Support
Opioid addiction can be difficult to face without support. Our program helps clients struggling with fentanyl, heroin, or prescription opioid misuse through therapy, recovery education, relapse prevention planning, peer support, and continued care coordination.
Methamphetamine and Stimulant Addiction
Methamphetamine and cocaine use can affect sleep, mood, motivation, relationships, decision making, and overall stability. Treatment focuses on building structure, improving emotional regulation, reducing relapse risk, and helping clients develop healthier daily routines.

When Local Treatment Support Is Not Enough
Helena has community based resources for mental health, substance use, crisis support, peer connection, and outpatient care. These services matter, and they can be a helpful part of recovery. Still, some people need more structure than local outpatient services can provide.
Residential addiction treatment can be especially helpful when someone has tried to stop using and keeps returning to old patterns. It can also be helpful when addiction is affecting relationships, employment, physical health, legal responsibilities, or emotional stability.
Elk Ridge Recovery is not here to replace Helena’s local resources. We are here to provide another Montana based option when someone needs a full treatment environment with routine, accountability, therapy, peer connection, and aftercare planning.
Residential Addiction Treatment
Residential treatment gives clients time and space to focus on recovery in a supportive environment. This level of care can be helpful for individuals who need more structure than outpatient treatment or who have struggled to stay sober while living at home.
Clients may participate in:
• Individual therapy
• Group therapy
• Relapse prevention planning
• Dual diagnosis support
• Peer support and accountability
• Family support when appropriate
• Wellness focused daily routines
• Life skills and recovery education
• Personalized aftercare planning
Family Support During Recovery
Addiction affects the entire family. Loved ones may feel scared, frustrated, exhausted, or unsure how to help. Family support can create space for education, honest communication, healthier boundaries, and rebuilding trust.
When appropriate, Elk Ridge Recovery helps families better understand addiction, recovery, relapse prevention, and how to support their loved one in a healthier way.
