Allumbaugh House's Online Review Report Card

This place has literally save my life. Considering Allumbaugh House is a non-profit that doesn't accept payment or health insurance, they work harder and with more compassion then any other treatment facility in the valley. (I've been through a few of them, though I'm not proud of it.) They treat everyone that comes through there doors with kindness, equality and patience and understanding. 5 stars every time.

They love you ❤️💜✝️❤️

We service the building,but the staff is great and the guest are kind also..very very clean facility!

I know many people who owe their lives to Allumbaugh House.

So professional and helpful

The Allumbaugh House is truely a gift to this community. It is a non- judgemental environment to begin your recovery journey. The staff are amazing!

Do not drive yourself to the Allumbaugh house. Circumstances may arise that prohibit you from staying for the desired amount of time needed to recover. Meanwhile, you are extremely medicated unable to make appropriate decisions. They are then quick to release you with your keys to your vehicle. It’s a recipe for disaster. This is a time in which you are most vulnerable and extra precautions should be taken. It’s been my experience as well as others with whom I’ve spoken with that some of the staff are frustrated with the task at hand. I understand the difficulties of dealing with patients that are struggling with drug addiction, not the most glamorous or grateful group of people. However, compassion and due diligence are key to a successful recovery. I felt cornered and without direction. Instead of exploring options with me such as referring me to the suboxone clinic or had a more mild tempered staffer explain the Withdrawal process to me to better understand what I was experiencing the male staff member raised his voice to assure me that this was the best they had to offer. I felt threatened and made the decision to release myself. This was not a wise decision. I was sleep deprived, enduring withdrawal symptoms, and my mind was extremely cloudy from the medication they prescribed. It’s negligible to be short tempered with a person in this position and then release them with a set of car keys. This is not an anomaly. It’s just a matter of time before someone leaves there in distress and hurts themselves or others.

A passel of Angels with one primary mission; LOVE

The Allumbaugh House is incredible, and has helped several friends of mine turn their lives around, assist them through detox, and helped get them set up with outpatient treatment.To answer some questions/concerns, found in the reviews -- The average length of stay is 5 to 7 days, however opiate detox services last 7 to 10 days.- They can only accept patients that live in the Region 4 district, so Ada, Elmore, Boise and Valley County. The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare (one of its major funding partners) has determined the residency criteria. Nampa and Caldwell residents are in District 3, and must access services based out of their region.- This is a voluntary facility so patients have to willingly want to come in for services.- They are non-profit, so they don’t have funds for a full time receptionist. Patients or family members/friends referring someone have to leave a message with a good phone number on the general voicemail box line, and staff does phone calls back throughout the day. After a few days, they won’t keep calling without someone making contact with them.- Cell phone time is from 10:30am to 11:00am, and 6:00pm to 6:30pm. You can call the patient line, and patients can answer anytime it is not group time. If it is during group time, before 6:00am, or after 11:00pm, the line will just ring and ring because the phones aren’t accessible for patient use then.- Patients coming in for detox can refer themselves, however patients for mental health services have to be referred from another agency, such as the E.R., Mobile Crisis, crisis center, their doctor or counselor.

This place is a life saver. When you have no where to go except up, this place is an excellent step in the right direction. Me and my husband have almost 2 years clean thanks to the friendly staff and great food. Thank you!! We need more places like this to help our city help their citizens become normal functioning without the use of drugs or alcohol.
