Residential Recovery with Community Roots
Instar Community Services operates a licensed ASAM 3.1 recovery residence for adult men in Helena, Montana. Known as the John “Scott” Hannon House, this 12-bed residence offers a stable, therapeutic environment that bridges clinical care with community reentry. Residents live on-site while participating in outpatient services and are required to engage in work or structured life-skills activities each week, reinforcing daily routines and accountability during recovery.
Peer Mentorship and Real-Life Guidance
Instar integrates peer support throughout its services. Certified peer mentors and recovery coaches help clients navigate everything from early sobriety to housing and employment barriers. This real-world guidance is especially important for those reintegrating after incarceration or navigating complex social systems. The program includes support with transportation, legal advocacy, medical access, and life planning.
Trauma-Informed and Whole-Person Care
Treatment at Instar is grounded in trauma-informed care and built to support people with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. Clients have access to evidence-based therapies including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, and 12-step facilitation. Counseling is offered individually and in groups, with options for telehealth when needed. The program also accepts and supports medications for addiction treatment (MAT), whether prescribed on-site or externally.
Patient Reviews
Many clients describe Instar as life-changing, noting the staff’s dedication to going "above and beyond." Reviews frequently mention the clean, welcoming environment and the emotional connection clients develop with staff. Some clients credit the program with helping them not only overcome addiction but also rebuild their lives after incarceration or homelessness.

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.
Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:
- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.
- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.
- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.
- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.
Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.
How we evaluate treatment facilities
These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.
Important disclaimer
We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
