About Walker Center – Gooding
Walker Center operates from 605 11th Avenue East in Gooding. The site sits in Gooding County, which shapes which public funding routes apply. Nearby communities include Jerome. The practical catchment runs wider than the city limits, taking in people who travel in rather than finding care on their doorstep.
Hospital inpatient care, detox and residential treatment are delivered here, alongside medication-assisted treatment and care for co-occurring mental health conditions. Which level fits depends on the assessment rather than on what is available, so the useful first question is what that assessment involves.

Detox and Rehab Services at Walker Center
Withdrawal management covers alcohol, benzodiazepine, cocaine, methamphetamine and opioid dependence and is handled on site rather than referred elsewhere. Someone starting in detox can move into residential care without changing provider or repeating an intake. Ask what the assessment involves before you commit.
Residential runs both short and long term, so the question at intake is which length the assessment points toward. Buprenorphine and naltrexone are available and paired with counseling rather than prescribed alone. Trauma-specific services run alongside, which matters where the two are tangled together.

Walker Center Address, Location and Contact Information
The address is 605 11th Avenue East, Gooding, ID 83330, in Gooding County. The catchment reaches Jerome. Confirm what a program covers before traveling in, since the level of care listed is not always the level with capacity. Ask what the assessment involves before you commit.
Ask what a first appointment involves and how long the current wait runs before making the trip. Opening hours shift with staffing, and an evening slot one month may not exist the next. Waiting times vary with capacity, so call ahead rather than arriving unannounced.

They treat you like animals
I was truly blessed to get the chance to go to this treatment program. I have been to many different programs some 45 days some a year, but the 60 days I spent at the walker center did more for me than any of them… combined. The staff at the walker center really do care about each and every one of the men and women who have the opportunity to seek treatment through them. I don't think there was one staff member that I disliked and that's not easy for me to say about most of the places I have gone to. If you need help or are struggling with addiction this place will help you. They will help you get the skills you need to work through the trauma you have had in your life that keeps you from recovering. Thank you for everything you all did for me. I miss everyone there and can't wait till I can come back on alumni day. God bless. Shanisy
As someone who has struggled with addiction for 20 years, and attended several other inpatient treatment centers. Going to The Walker center is the BY FAR best decision I’ve made in my life. If you need help, please go… to the walker center and get it. The approach taken to recovery is amazing and in many ways unorthodox, Which as an addict is exactly what I needed. 58 days clean and sober today thank you !
The walker center was the best decision I’ve ever made! I was at my lowest point and in a place of desperation when I decided to call the walker center. It was a decision that changed my life completely and I am beyond… thankful! The staff is great and most importantly you get to share a bond with the other residents trying to better their life as well! If you’re struggling I can’t recommend this place more!!
This place was a joke. If you're looking for real help i recommend Moonlight Mountain. At the Walker Center the councilor Jenn made me feel uncomfortable and like I couldn't be open and feel safe like I should have and… she kept forgetting about me. My clothing was stolen and then after they finally found it in someone else's laundry the head councilor Vince had the audacity to tell me that I was just needing to change the way I look at things. He was inconsiderate and did not make me feel like I was in a safe space. I would give 0 stars if I could
This is a wonderful facility. I was given great tools to stay sober. The staff is friendly and compassionate. I would recommend Walker Center anyone who wants help to stay sober.
The Walker Center changed my life. I was terrified, I had never been in treatment before, I just knew it wasn’t for me. Little did I know just how amazing and life changing my 2 months with the Walker Center would be. I… owe my life to the amazing staff and know that I wouldn’t still be here today if they hadn’t have helped me. Seeing the world from sober eyes has been an amazing experience, one that I won’t ever take for granted. They gave my kids their mom back… I can’t say enough good about this place. If you need help, I highly recommend giving The Walker Center a chance. The staff, lectures, groups, food, classes and atmosphere were all great. Thank you Walker Center.
I just spent 60 days at the Walker Center. The staff was absolutely amazing (CSS's, counselors, admin, etc.) I highly recommend this facility to anyone that is struggling with addiction. -Tony Moran
I spent 45 days at the Walker Center. The staff is truly amazing and supportive, the group meetings are informative, and my overall recovery is going well, thanks to the Walker Center. We highly recommend treatment here.
This place was amazing Dan was my counselor and he is the best 5 star for sure didn’t complete a 60 or 30 day treatment due to some of the people in the group I was in but would definitely recommend anyone to go there… they give the help addicts need to over come addiction!!!! CSS staff are amazing!!!!
The Walker Center gave our son back to us. It is definitely a life changing experience that I highly recommend.
Saved my life best decision I ever made was coming here definitely saved me
This place likely saved my life. Very good program with a lot of education and self help. Staff phenomenal, the counselors, the CSS's, I mean everyone is supportive, helpful and super nice. The food is good and you get… fed plenty. My experience here has been amazing.
The Walker Center is a great place to go if you want to stop drinking or using drugs. The staff are very friendly and professional, and you learn a lot and they help you a lot. I highly recommend them. I was there and… it saved my life. Now I'm happy not using drugs or drinking alcohol. I 100% recommend them.
I am not a patient at this facility but my son Elias is He is continuing to make progress in his recovery I am very glad he took the initiative to get sober The Walker Center has been great! I reached out to other… facilities with no help whatsoever Walker Center was on it right away! I trust in their facility fully because they care for you as a person and not a number I feel my son can get through this as he has been given the tools he needs to continue his journey
This place is amazing and very helpful. Lots of supporting interpreters provided helped alot also. Nice wonderful staff and CSS there.
This place saved my life. I highly recommend if you want to change your life and get sober.
Very grateful for this place the staff is great and the food is awesome
The Walker Center is giving our addict the tools necessary to live a healthy life. Family program was eye opening for them, as well as us.
It's a great place to go I would recommend it to anybody
The Walker center is incredible.I love it and can't wait to finish.
My time at the walker center was excellent. And I got to learn alot about myself and got all the coping skills and tools to help me in my journey to a sober life. And I highly recommend the walker center to anyone who… might need help in getting sober.
I have never been to a treatment center this well run ever, and I've been to 6 other treatment centers, 5 in Idaho. The treatment I received here was beyond superior!. The counselors were awesome, the staff were more… than helpful in every way. Even the CEO here is like nothing I've ever experienced before. I never suggestion another treatment center to anyone that is having trouble with addiction. Even if you live in another state I would still recommend coming to the Walker Center, the trip is well worth the treatment you well receive here! What a pleasure to know I'm leaving with the maximum skills one can learn in a treatment center. My sincere thanks to all the staff here at the Walker Center 🙌 🙏 👏 Sincerely Jay Malone
This facility is spectacular
