Extended Analysis — Civic Intelligence Record

The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare was established in 1972, consolidating the state's public health and social services functions into a single administrative body. Its creation reflected a broader national trend toward integrated human services governance, bringing together previously fragmented programs covering medical care, child welfare, and public assistance under unified state authority. The department has since grown to encompass Idaho's most expansive social infrastructure portfolio.

The agency operates under the executive branch of Idaho state government and is directed by a gubernatorially appointed director. Its administrative reach spans multiple program divisions, including Medicaid, behavioral health, child protective services, and public health preparedness. Leadership is accountable to the Governor's office, and the department's programs are subject to oversight by the Idaho Legislature, which controls appropriations across its service areas.

The department administers a broad array of direct services to Idaho residents, including healthcare coverage through Medicaid, food assistance through federal nutrition programs, foster care and adoption services, and licensing and certification for healthcare workers operating in the state. It also operates nursing facilities and manages vital records for the state. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the department served as the primary coordinating body for Idaho's public health response, managing testing, vaccination distribution, and public communications.

As Idaho's Medicaid administrator, the department channels substantial federal funding into the state's healthcare economy, making it one of the largest conduits of federal dollars in Idaho government. Medicaid and other federally matched programs constitute a significant share of its total budget, creating ongoing fiscal interdependence between state appropriations and federal matching requirements. Procurement activity indexed across 18 URLs reflects active vendor and contractor engagement across health services, technology, and facility operations.

Health About Opioids Opioids Prevention resources and services Explore this Section About Opioids Fentanyl Overdose Prevention Overdose Response Offering Support Resources About Opioids An opioid is a strong medication used to treat moderate to severe short-term or chronic pain. Heroin and illicitly manufactured fentanyl are examples of non-prescription opioids. Opioid Use Disorder or dependence can develop with prolonged use of opioids. In 2024, Idaho experienced 212 deaths related to opioid overdoses. The Division of Public Health offers resources to prevent overdoses and get help. Risks of taking prescription opioids Anyone who takes opioids can be at risk for addiction, accidental overdose, or death. Chances of an opioid overdose increase when: Opioids are taken alone Opioids are mixed with other substances Opioids are taken in larger amounts or more often than prescribed Opioids are restarted at the same dose after taking a break from using opioids Check out DHW’s Drug Overdose Data Dashboard Go to Data Dashboard Drug overdose in Idaho 212 Deaths related to any opioid 2024 38% Overdose deaths in Idaho involved fentanyl 2024 443 Emergency Department Visits Related to Any Opioid Overdose [Excluding Deaths] 2024 Opioid information Common opioids GENERIC NAME Brand names Street/Slang names Oxycodone OxyContin® O.C., Oxycet, Oxycotton, Oxy, Hillbilly Heroin, Percs Hydrocodone Vicodin®, Lortab®, Lorcet® Vike, Watson-387 Morphine Kadian®, Avinza®, MS Contin®, Duramorph®, Roxanol® M, Miss Emma, Monkey, White Stuff Codeine Tylenol® with Codeine, TyCo, Tylenol® #3 Captain Code, Cody, Lean, Schoolboy, Sizzurp, Purple Drank;  With glutethimide : Doors and Fours, Loads, Pancakes and Syrup Fentanyl Duragesic®, Actiq®, Sublimaze® Apache, China Girl, China White, Dance Fever, Friend, Goodfella, Jackpot, Murder 8, Tango and Cash, TNT Hydromorphone Dilaudid® D, Dillies, Footballs, Juice, Smack Meperidine Demerol® Demmies Oxymorphone Opana® Biscuits, Blue Heaven, Blues, Mrs. O, O Bomb, Octagons, Stop Signs Methadone Dolophine®, Methadose® Fizzies, Amidone, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Dollies, Dolls, Done, Meth Buprenorphine Suboxone®, Subutex®, Zubsolv®, Bunavail®, Butrans® Sobos, Saboxin, Oranges, Bupe, Box, Boxes, Stops, Subs   How to use opioids safely 3 Key Steps 1. Keep your doctor informed.  Inform your health care professional about any history of substance use disorder. All patients treated with opioids for pain require careful monitoring by their health care provider for signs of misuse and addiction, and to determine when these medications are no longer needed. 2. Follow directions carefully.  Opioids may result in side effects, including drowsiness, constipation, and depressed breathing depending on the amount taken. Take the lowest dose needed to control your pain and never more than prescribed. Taking too much could cause severe respiratory depression or death. Do not crush or break pills. This can change the rate at which the medication is absorbed and lead to overdose and death. 3. Reduce the risk of drug interactions.  Don't mix opioids with alcohol, antihistamines (e.g. Benadryl, Claritin), barbiturates, or benzodiazepines. Combining any of these substances with opioids could lead to life-threatening respiratory depression. Talk to your health care provider for more information on drug interactions when taking opioids. Naloxone can save a life. Learn how to use and get naloxone Naloxone (brand name Narcan) is the medication that can reverse an opioid overdose. Carry Narcan with you. It could save a life.

Program Education and Training Voucher (ETV) National Youth in Transition Database Resources for Youth Coordinator Contacts About Extended Foster Care (EFC) About Extended Foster Care (EFC) Youth who are nearing age 18 in foster care will have opportunities to discuss extended foster care with their caseworker and other supportive individuals during the process of transition planning. If you are in foster care and getting close to age 18, it’s important to plan for your future and talk about your goals with your family services worker. You can choose to stay in foster care past 18 if you want. With   Continuous Foster Care (CFC) , your case can stay open until you turn 23. If you leave foster care in Idaho but later decide you want to return before age 23, you may be able to join Voluntary Post-18 Foster Care (VFC) . For more information Speak with your case worker Placement options in Extended Foster Care (EFC) Young adults in extended foster care (EFC) have a variety of options. Some young adults, in agreement with the resource family, continue to reside in their current foster placement. Others choose to reside with other supports such as extended family or friends or reside in their own apartment or home. When the young adult wishes to live independently, outside of a licensed placement, the young adult must speak with their caseworker to help determine whether the placement option is safe and appropriate, and a Supervised Independent Living Placement (SILP) application will be submitted.  The Supervised Independent Living Placement (SILP) allows for the young adult to live independently and receive a monthly maintenance payment to assist with room and board. The young adult must demonstrate a level of maturity and responsibility that is appropriate for a SILP to qualify. They must be able to manage expectations without daily supervision and minimal case management. Some examples of SILP settings may include an apartment or home, shared housing, host homes, or college dorms.  Voluntary Extended Foster Care (EFC) Young adults who opt out of EFC and exit foster care at 18 still have the option to return to extended foster care or EFC at any time before their 23rd birthday.  Young adults participating in voluntary extended foster care must meet the same requirements outlined for continuous extended foster care. Voluntary extended foster care provides the same placement opportunities as continuous foster care, including the Supervised Independent Living Placement (SILP) option if the young adult qualifies. A voluntary foster care case cannot be open for more than 180 days. The young adult will sign a program agreement on the first day of the voluntary EFC case.  Just as in continuous foster care, the young adult can also terminate the voluntary foster care agreement at any time.  Requirements for Extended Foster Care (EFC) To participate in continuous foster care (CFC), the young adult must have their foster care case extended through a court order before turning 18, while being in the legal custody of Child and Family Services (CFS) or Tribal Court in Idaho. The young adult must be meeting at least one of the following requirements:  Completing a high school diploma or a program leading to an equivalent credential, such as a GED; Enrolled in an educational institution which provides post-secondary or vocational education; Participating in a program or activity designed to promote, or remove barriers to, employment; Employed for at least 80 hours per month, OR Incapable of doing any of the activities described above due to a documented medical condition. Participants in the extended foster care program can transition between the above criteria to meet extended foster care (EFC) requirements. If a young adult participating in EFC is no longer meeting one of the above requirements, there will be a 30-calendar day grace period to assist the young adult in becoming eligible. After 30 calendar days, one of the criteria must be met or the EFC case will be terminated.  A young adult participating in continuous extended foster care (EFC) is not required to participate until their 23rd birthday. The young adult is able to terminate this agreement at any time.  Turning 18 and beyond Turning 18 in Foster Care This link will take you to a brochure with information about what you should consider for your future when turning 18 in Foster Care.

Why have Guidelines? Children are active learners who learn through play. Play is fundamental to a child’s learning. Children learn through experiences and relationships with the people and objects in their world. Experience through play, shared knowledge, curiosity, and sense of wonder are foundations for children’s learning. Each child learns in unique ways. Children have unique characteristics that influence learning. The rate of development and learning varies for individuals and is not the same for every child of the same age. Learning may be uneven or occur in spurts. An individual’s learning is impacted by genetics, culture, environment, experiences, interests, motivation, and approaches to learning. Children receive learning opportunities that support their unique needs in inclusive environments. All children, who are developing both typically and atypically, are supported with opportunities to grow and learn in inclusive settings in child care, school, and community activities. Learning is most meaningful when it is integrated across all areas of development. Children construct knowledge and integrate new ideas and concepts into their existing understanding. Their achievements in language and learning are influenced by the social and emotional aspects of their development. Communication influences mathematical and scientific understanding. There are no clear lines between the domains of development or areas of learning.

and Caregiving Resources, services, and supports for kinship caregivers Explore this Section About Kinship Caregiving About Kinship Caregiving About Kinship Caregiving For children who are placed in foster care the preferred placement is with kin. Kin are relatives, tribes, or people with a family like relationship with the child or their parents before coming into care. Kin may qualify for immediate or expedited placement of children if a safe and suitable caregiver is identified. Children are able to stay connected to their family connections, cultural traditions and community. Kinship caregiving is often challenging because it changes relationship dynamics between the child and caregiver as well as other family members. Idaho Kinship Program Idaho has tens of thousands of kinship caregivers who take on the role of parenting when the child’s parents are unable to. These living arrangements may be made formally through a social service agency but are most often arranged without formal intervention. Family members voluntarily take the children into their homes during times of family crisis.   This can be challenging from legal, financial, and emotional standpoints. If you are one of the kinship care providers in Idaho, you are not alone, and help is available. 2-1-1 Idaho CareLine Learn more about kinship resources from the 2-1-1 Idaho CareLine 2-1-1 Idaho CareLine Idaho resources, services and supports Resource and Navigation services Provides emergency and short-term assistance to families so children may be cared for in their homes or in the homes of relatives.

Children at Risk (CARTF), a nonpartisan, broadly representative organization with concerns related to children at risk in Idaho, is dedicated to providing informed recommendations to the Idaho Governor regarding issues related to child abuse and neglect. In 1988, by executive order, Idaho Gov. Cecil Andrus established the Governor's Task Force on Children at Risk. The group's first assignment was to review research on sex crimes against children and develop recommendations to address the issue. This included reviewing testimony from public hearings, national research, and interviews with investigators, treatment providers, law enforcement personnel, perpetrators, citizen advocates, victims, and their families. Findings and recommendations were published in "A Report on Idaho's System for Protecting and Serving Children at Risk of Sexual Abuse." The report had 14 specific recommendations. Most of these have been followed to completion. Since 1988, the task force has continued to make recommendations to the Governor on issues pertaining to Idaho's children.
