Instar Community Services

About Instar Community Services

Instar Community Services is a licensed outpatient behavioral health provider in Helena, Montana, offering a residential recovery option alongside its clinical treatment programs.

A State-Licensed Clinic With Recovery Housing

Instar Community Services treats substance use disorder, co-occurring mental health conditions and gambling disorder on an outpatient basis, accepting Medicaid, private insurance and self-pay clients. Its residential recovery home gives men in its care, or referred to it, a stable address connected directly to that outpatient treatment.

Certification and Montana's Registry Requirement

Instar Community Services' recovery housing is certified through the National Sober Living Association, one of two organizations Montana recognizes for voluntary certification, and it is separately registered with the Department of Public Health and Human Services under the state's 2023 recovery residence law.

Integrated Outpatient and Housing Care

Keeping housing and outpatient treatment under one organization means a resident's counselor, case manager and housing provider are the same people throughout his stay, instead of three separate relationships he has to coordinate on his own.

Working in Helena and Lewis and Clark County

Based in Helena, Instar Community Services serves Lewis and Clark County and the surrounding capital region, drawing on the concentration of state government, courts and health services the city offers.

Reaching Instar Community Services

Contact goes directly to the organization. Worth asking: whether admission to housing requires being an existing outpatient client, what insurance or self-pay options are accepted, and what a typical week looks like.
