Sober Living Homes

Each sober living home in Utah is a residence, not a treatment center. This setting does not provide clinical or medical treatment, but many residents attend recovery groups or outpatient rehab while staying at the home. The setting, also called a halfway house, offers a balance between structure and accountability and living in the "real world," to help people transition from treatment to everyday life.

Dual Diagnosis

In Utah, dual-diagnosis addiction treatment programs have the expertise to help individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health conditions. These specialized programs are available in an intensive outpatient or residential inpatient setting, depending on the severity of the patient's mental health. Treatment incorporates therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), 12-Step recovery, skills training, medication management, and aftercare support.

Mental Health

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.

Trauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses the psychological impact of traumatic events. Together with a therapist, you identify the impact that trauma has had on your life and the factors that trigger emotional and physical responses. You develop better coping mechanisms to rebuild a sense of safety and trust in your life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

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.

Experiential Therapy

The goal of experiential therapy is to help you work through trauma or intense feelings by interacting with your environment and others. In a safe environment, you are able to resolve conflicts or challenges from the past. Techniques include adventure courses, equine therapy, martial arts, and music.

Individual Therapy

During individual therapy, men and women in Utah work with their therapists to build healthier daily habits and create coping strategies to manage stress. These are two components necessary for sustained sobriety and improved overall health.

Group Therapy

Community building is an important aspect of group therapy sessions in Utah. The sense of community building among participants encourages more transparent sharing of experiences in a judgment free environment. You create strong bonds with the people in your group that support your journey to recovery.

Family Therapy

Family therapists work with all members of the family unit to understand the impact that addiction has had on the family collectively and individually. Together they develop strategies to help their loved one recover. The therapist facilitates open discussions between family members to help build resilience and improve interactions. Ultimately, this supports their loved one's path to sobriety.
