Walker Center's residential program is for adults over the age of 18 and treats drug and alcohol addiction as a disease.The client's length of stay at The Walker Center is determined by clinical needs, minimum standard stay is 28 days. Our residential program, located in a beautiful, modern facility in Gooding, Idaho, offers gender-specific and gender-separate treatment. This best practice standard gives clients the opportunity to discuss important issues and explore the realities of their addiction without the distraction that often comes in mixed-gender programs. Walker Center uses a number of different treatment modalities to help clients build the foundation for a lasting recovery. Cognitive Behavioral Group counseling is the preferred method in helping clients get a clearer, more realistic picture of how addiction has impacted their lives and the lives of those around them. Group counseling also helps clients discover that they are not alone, not the only one whose use of alcohol and/or drugs has wreaked havoc within the home, work, relationships, finances, health and within their own personal value system. Walker Center offers experiential-based therapies on our state-of-the-art CHALLENGE course — all designed to give clients direct, meaningful and personal feedback by interacting with the environment. These experiential exercises, when combined with the other elements of our program, offer a powerful experience in helping clients make different choices and uncover new strategies in dealing with old problems.
