Faith-Guided Residential Recovery for Men
Life House offers a structured, faith-centered residential program for men seeking recovery from substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges. Operated by Volunteers of America Northern Rockies, a long-established nonprofit ministry, the program emphasizes restoring health in body, mind, and spirit. Treatment combines evidence-based therapies with a compassionate community model that helps residents build confidence, accountability, and lasting life skills.
Integrated Clinical Care and Medical Detox
Life House blends therapeutic depth with medical and practical support. Residents have access to clinical therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy, motivational interviewing, and Seeking Safety. The program includes on-site detox and medications for addiction treatment (MAT), including buprenorphine and naltrexone, to promote safe stabilization and reduce relapse risk. Family participation and 12-step engagement further strengthen connection, healing, and accountability throughout recovery.
Skills, Structure, and Vocational Growth
Treatment at Life House is built around real-world readiness. Alongside individual and group therapy, residents take part in daily living and parenting education, corrective thinking (True Thought), and vocational preparation. GED tutoring, employment counseling, and recovery coaching help residents transition successfully into work and community life. This focus on stability, educational, social, and financial, makes Life House particularly suited for those seeking to rebuild every aspect of daily living.
Supportive Setting and Mission-Driven Purpose
The facility’s home-like environment features shared meals, quiet and visiting areas, and outdoor amenities such as gardens and open natural spaces that encourage reflection and community connection. Transportation assistance ensures access to needed services and appointments. Rooted in Volunteers of America’s 125-year mission to serve with compassion and faith, Life House provides men with the structure, dignity, and consistent guidance needed to rediscover purpose and maintain recovery beyond treatment.

Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities

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.
