Montana Based Addiction Treatment and Recovery Support
Elk Ridge Recovery is located in Great Falls, Montana, serving individuals and families throughout Montana and the surrounding region. Our program provides compassionate, structured addiction treatment for people struggling with substance use, alcohol addiction, and co occurring mental health challenges.
For many people, getting help close to home can make treatment feel more accessible and less overwhelming. At Elk Ridge Recovery, clients receive care in a peaceful Montana setting where they can focus on healing, rebuild stability, and begin creating a healthier future.
Our services are designed to support the full recovery journey, including residential addiction treatment, dual diagnosis support, therapy, family involvement, peer support, aftercare planning, and continued recovery resources. When a client needs medical detox before entering treatment, we work closely with trusted local hospitals and medical providers to help coordinate that next step safely.
What We Treat
Elk Ridge Recovery supports adults facing a wide range of substance use and mental health concerns. We understand that addiction rarely happens by itself. Many people are also carrying trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, family stress, or unresolved emotional pain.
Alcohol Addiction
We help individuals struggling with alcohol use by providing structure, support, relapse prevention planning, therapy, and continued recovery guidance.
Opioid Addiction
Our program supports individuals struggling with opioid use, including fentanyl, heroin, and prescription pain medications. Care is focused on stabilization, accountability, recovery education, and long term support.
Prescription Drug Addiction
Prescription medications can become difficult to stop without help. Elk Ridge Recovery supports individuals working to recover from misuse of pain medications, sedatives, stimulants, and other prescription substances.
Stimulant Addiction
We treat substance use involving methamphetamine, cocaine, and other stimulants with a focus on emotional regulation, routine building, craving management, and recovery planning.
Polysubstance Use
Many people struggle with more than one substance. Our team helps clients identify patterns, understand triggers, and build healthier ways to manage stress, emotions, and daily life.
Co Occurring Mental Health Challenges
Addiction and mental health often overlap. Elk Ridge Recovery provides support for clients experiencing concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, mood instability, ADHD symptoms, sleep issues, and stress related challenges.
Levels of Care in Montana
Elk Ridge Recovery provides a supportive treatment environment where clients can begin healing with structure, accountability, and compassion.
Residential Inpatient (Typically ~30–45 Days)
Residential treatment gives clients the opportunity to step away from daily triggers and focus fully on recovery. This level of care provides routine, support, therapy, and a safe environment where individuals can begin rebuilding their lives.
During residential treatment, clients may participate in individual therapy, group therapy, relapse prevention education, emotional regulation work, peer connection, wellness programming, family support, and personalized recovery planning.
Dual Diagnosis Support
Many clients entering treatment are also facing mental health concerns. Our dual diagnosis approach helps address addiction and emotional wellness together, rather than treating them as separate issues.
By supporting both substance use and mental health, clients can better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and recovery choices.
Family Support
Addiction affects the entire family system. Elk Ridge Recovery encourages healthy family involvement when appropriate, helping loved ones better understand recovery, communication, boundaries, and the importance of continued support.
Family support can help repair trust, reduce confusion, and create a healthier foundation for life after treatment.
Peer Support and Community Connection
Recovery is stronger when people do not feel alone. Peer support gives clients the opportunity to connect with others who understand the recovery journey. Shared experience, encouragement, and accountability can help clients feel seen, supported, and motivated.
Peer connection can also play an important role after treatment, helping individuals stay engaged in recovery and connected to a supportive community.
Aftercare Planning
Treatment is only one part of the recovery journey. Before leaving care, clients work on a personalized aftercare plan that may include outpatient treatment, sober living, therapy, peer support, alumni involvement, vocational resources, recovery meetings, family support, and ongoing wellness routines.
Aftercare helps clients transition back into daily life with direction and support.
Our Clinical Approach
At Elk Ridge Recovery, we believe effective addiction treatment should care for the whole person. Substance use can affect physical health, mental health, relationships, employment, family life, and personal identity. Our approach is designed to help clients address these areas with dignity and compassion.
Personalized Care
Every client has a different story. We take time to understand each person’s needs, goals, challenges, and strengths so treatment can be built around the individual.
Evidence Informed Treatment
Our program may include individual therapy, group therapy, recovery education, relapse prevention, coping skills, emotional regulation strategies, motivational support, and practical life skills.
Trauma Informed Support
Many people entering treatment have experienced trauma, loss, or painful life events. Our team provides care that emphasizes safety, trust, respect, and choice.
