Our Methodology
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
Financing your treatment can make treatment more accessible. You'll work with your care provider to set up payment plans, including interest rates and repayment timelines. Financing options vary widely and not all programs offer them, so be sure to get the full details before enrolling in treatment. If you have insurance or other benefits, financing may help you cover your remaining out of pocket expenses.

Telehealth The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
When you enter a drug rehab in Utah, the process usually involves four stages: treatment initiation, early abstinence, maintaining abstinence, and advanced recovery. Treatment methods can rely on medications, counseling, or both, in either an outpatient or inpatient setting.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
In Utah, individuals looking for substance abuse treatment can find several inpatient and outpatient treatment programs. Typically, you can expect the program to include evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), psychoeducation, skills development groups, and experiential therapies, like equine therapy, and adventure therapy. By receiving expert addiction treatment and learning new coping strategies, you'll drastically improve your mental health and the ability to achieve long-term sobriety.
When treating substance use disorder and a mental health condition, the best approach is to treat both conditions at the same time. Known as dual diagnosis treatment, this kind of specialized care provides you with 24/7 access to medical and mental health professionals, group therapy in order to provide a supportive peer group, and family therapy which helps to improve relationships with loved ones.
Therapists may use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in Utah to address substance use and mental health disorders. The main focus is to change thinking patterns, which leads to behavioral change. Subtypes of CBT include exposure therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and acceptance commitment therapy.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.
This therapy is an opportunity for the client to better see themselves in the eyes of others. Deer Hollow helps their clients understand how they interact with others and how their words and actions might affect them. In group therapy all are equal and given a chance to gain insight into themselves through the group dynamics that naturally develop.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
The foundation of motivational interviewing in Utah rests on four pillars: partnership, evocation, acceptance, and compassion. The therapist collaborates with the client, encouraging them to explore their options and make informed decisions about making changes in their lives.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.
EMDR is a therapeutic modality originally developed to help process trauma. In an EMDR session, a patient is prompted to undergo eye movements that mimic those of REM sleep. This is accomplished by watching a therapist's finger move back and forth across, or following a bar of light. The goal is repetitive sets of eye movements that help the brain reprocess memory, which can significantly reduce the intensity of remembered traumatic incidents. Associated memories can heal simultaneously, leaving patients significantly calmer, more stable, and more emotionally relaxed.
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
Recreational therapy helps you in your addiction recovery program by improving your overall well being. Activities can include sports, music, and nature excursions that give you positive experiences, reduce your cravings, and offer the opportunity to reduce your stress. These aid in your addiction recovery.
Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.
Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.
When your body no longer gets nicotine from cigarettes, you will most likely experience withdrawal and craving symptoms. Nicotine replacement therapy is designed to ease these symptoms so you are more comfortable and less likely to relapse.

WARNING: DO NOT SEEK HELP HERE! As a fellow firefighter and veteran, I urge you to avoid this place at all costs. I was abandoned and left in a dire situation. Thankfully, the VA crisis hotline and supportive friends saved me; otherwise, I wouldn't be here writing this. I ...
The best treatment facility I have encountered, they helped me in so many ways. I have a great life now. They made me accomplish many things.
The treatment I got here for my addiction and eating disorder has forever changed my life. I have 3 years with out a lapse in my Eating Disorder. I've had a few bumps in sobriety but I have mainly stayed sober.
Despite my difficulties and frustrations deep diving into my past traumas, while utilizing the different modalities offered at DH; I did the strenuous work to process and find my path to peace again. Investing in myself has been the greatest gift. DH’s Therapists, medical staff, chefs, and techs were genuinely committed to helping me through my processing. Thank you very much for your support and continued assistance on my trajectory finding happiness and joy again. Let it be known, RNs need nurturing too; this is a special place to find it.

When you are serious about recovery come to Deer Hollow. It will not be easy, but it will be worth it. I am a Paramedic that came up in the time of “stuff those emotions down”, I’m here to tell you that does not work. They come back with a vengeance and hopefully you don’t take your own life before you get help. Give Deer Hollow a chance, The staff is top notch and they have been through similar stuff and achieved Victory. You will be with peers going through the same stuff, no matter what their background we are more alike than different. I thank the people of Deer Hollow for saving my life. Don’t believe the lie that you are telling yourself, “that I’m not hurting anyone else” there are people in your life that love you and want to help.
DH very well may have saved my life! I had never been to anything like this before and had never been to a therapist, so I went in with no prior experience of what to expect. The entire team was so supportive and knowledgeable and clearly passionate about helping! I have started rediscovering myself along my journey here and am starting to do something that I haven’t done in years… actually look forward to things and the future. Thank you DH for everything!
The experience I had here will never be able to be condensed into enough words. If I didn’t find Deer Hollow I wouldn’t be here today. I was a broken soul, suffering daily, and when I walked into the house it was like I finally saw a shred of hope. Brett was my therapist and he fought for me and saved my life. He gave me something different. I tell everyone about my experience because there is no shame, only hope. Thank you Deer Hollow!
I went to Deer Hollow and stayed at the pioneer house. I was in a bad place mentally and was looking for anything to help me. Everyone I met seemed to be in a similar place and searching for answers that we desperately needed. I can honestly say Deer Hollow saved my life. Thanks to everyone at Deer Hollow.
I went to Deer Hollow in 2020 in October. There was so much love and Help from everyone there they had your back always. I am very grateful for them. I know they saved my life. All of the things that I was taught there were so awesome. I agree with the cure for the pain is the pain on our coin. It wasn’t always nice for me. But they help me to navigate through things that I thought I could do myself. I couldn’t actually do it by myself. I needed their help. It is a great program. When I was there, I was told that they were ranked number three in the nation.. That’s so true because what they did for me was. Save my life. I tell people even today about Deer Hollow and what it had done for me. The trauma work was spot on. I looked at so many other facilities and it only dealt with drugs and alcohol, not trauma. There needs to be more places like Deer Hollow everywhere so people that want to go and help themselves is there for them. tell all your friends and people you know that are struggling. Deer Hollow is the place to go. They go over and above for you no matter what. Thank you, Deer Hollow Sarah McDonald.
My time at Pioneer House was life changing. From the moment I walked through the door I knew I was safe and surrounded by people that had gone through it, were going through it or professionals. I had found the right people and place to help me begin effectively healing my trauma.
I came to Deer Hollow (Pioneer) with no desire, love or will to exist in my heart. I left full of love, hope and peace. I’ve never felt better in my life. The work is hard, but if you dive in you can really change. The staff is amazing and your peers will be too.
Nothing has helped me come back to myself like the treatment at Deer Hollow. The effects of Complex PTSD had been ruling and ruining my life for decades. I felt hopeless and helpless and full of shame before my stay. I feel calm, connected and compassionate again. I feel like myself. I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience I had here.
This facility is not ADA compliant and they refuse care instead of making accommodations for a service dog. This is an American business it is accountable under title 3 of ADA. This is refusing care cause of a disability this is not legal nor does it show a facility that cares about making legal accommodations. I also do not appreciate a non licensed staff member try to tell me he thinks I am not mentally strong enough for the program. This is clear discrimination based on my svc animal.and unprofessional to have a former patient / uncertified staff member try to tell me I am no mentally prepared.
Completely life changing! Would recommend for all walks of life.
