Rawlings Community Counseling

Rawlings Community Counseling offers structured outpatient addiction treatment and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at its Bonners Ferry clinic, providing recovery support that fits around real life. For people in Boundary County who are past the acute phase of substance use or who need an alternative to residential treatment, IOP delivers a clinically meaningful level of care — typically involving more frequent sessions and a higher degree of structure — while allowing clients to remain in their homes and communities.

The standard Outpatient Program serves those who are further along in their recovery journey or transitioning down from a higher level of care, offering continued therapeutic contact and accountability. Together, these two levels of care give Rawlings the flexibility to meet clients where they are and adjust as their needs evolve over time.

Rawlings Community Counseling treats addiction not as an isolated condition but alongside the mental health challenges that frequently accompany it. The clinic addresses co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis, as well as trauma and PTSD, anxiety, and depression — conditions that, when left untreated, can undermine recovery efforts. Therapeutic methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Brainspotting, and Group Counseling, a combination that attends to both behavioral patterns and underlying trauma.

Group Counseling in particular connects clients to a peer recovery community within the outpatient setting — an important element for people who are building or rebuilding sober support networks. For many clients in recovery, hearing from others navigating similar challenges is as clinically valuable as individual therapy sessions.

Few outpatient clinics in northern Idaho serve as broad a population as Rawlings Community Counseling. The clinic works with children, adolescents, young adults (18–25), adults, seniors, men, women, couples, families, veterans, and court-ordered individuals. That range matters: addiction affects people at every age and in every family role, and a clinic that can see a teenager, their parents, and a grandparent — each with different therapeutic needs — offers something genuinely useful to the communities it serves.

Veterans and military families will find that TRICARE is accepted alongside Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay. A sliding fee schedule based on family size and income ensures that cost is not a barrier to starting or continuing treatment. The clinic is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, at 6807 Cody Street in Bonners Ferry, Idaho.

Rawlings Community Counseling accepts a wide range of payment options, including Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay. For those without insurance or with limited income, a discounted sliding fee schedule is available based on family size and income — and the clinic's stated policy is that no one will be denied access to services due to an inability to pay.

That commitment to access is particularly significant in a rural region like Boundary County, where treatment options can be limited and financial barriers to care tend to be higher. Families and individuals researching substance abuse treatment and outpatient programs in northern Idaho should contact the clinic directly at (208) 267-0900 to discuss their specific situation and available options.
