Lewiston is known for being the farthest inland port east of the West Coast, as it is situated at the confluence of the Clearwater and Snake rivers.

Founded in 1861 a year after the gold rush hit Pierce, Lewiston was the first capital of the Idaho Territory. The capital was moved to Boise in 1864.

Idaho delivers a good blend of the rural and the metropolitan, which makes it a great place to start rehab for drugs and alcohol. If you live in Idaho, consider traveling to another city or state for treatment. Traveling for rehab gets you away from all the negative conditions and toxic influences that may be a major factor in why you abuse drugs or alcohol.

Is Insurance Accepted for Drug and Alcohol Treatment?

Drug and alcohol addiction is a disease. It's a chronic behavioral, physical and psychological disease that effects the brain, organs and behavior, and it is treated by the medical community like other chronic diseases.

Since being widely accepted as a disease, more health insurance carriers are covering treatment for drug and alcohol addiction. Check with your insurance policy to see what they cover. Some may cover all of the treatment, while others may only cover a minimal amount, such as the first 30 days of treatment.

Treatment can be expensive, and the cost varies from facility to facility. If you don't have insurance and cost is a factor, consider going to outpatient treatment versus inpatient. Inpatient is a live-in facility where you are under 24-hour supervised care, and it tends to be more expensive than outpatient, which is treatment you can go to a few nights a week after work.

Also ask your treatment center if they have financial aid or a payment plan to make receiving care more affordable. Many states provide drug and alcohol rehab for people who can't afford it, and there are also foundations that offer grants for treatment that are worth looking into.
