About Mountaintop Behavior Health:

Mountaintop was established in 2022 when our founders had a strong drive to help foster youth in the state of Idaho and that there were limited resources for foster youth who were no yet ready for foster care, home or adulthood but had either made enough progress in their treatment or did not need the intensive care provided by lockdown facilities. We have been successful in many reunification cases, adoptions, fosters as well as youth aging out of the program. Mountaintop believes in looking at each client as an individual and caters their treatment specifically to their needs and abilities. We were with a diversity of clients with many different backgrounds typically in the age range of 13 to 18 years old. Many of our clients have attachment and trauma ranging in severity. Also many of our clients have been in foster care for an extended period of time and have been unsuccessful in other treatment program or foster homes. We empower all of our clients to achieve their goals and support them in their mental health journey.
