When our son arrived at Forte Strong, our family was exhausted, overwhelmed, and honestly out of answers. What started as a slow decline over several years had eventually spiraled into depression, anxiety, substance abuse challenges, hospitalizations, and interactions with law enforcement. We had reached the limits of what we could do on our own and knew we needed help. What we didn’t fully understand at the time was that Forte Strong would not only help our son—it would help our entire family. Our son is incredibly bright and capable, but he also struggles with autism and ADHD, diagnoses he did not receive until adulthood. Looking back, so many things made sense through that lens, but by the time he arrived at Forte, our family dynamic had become unhealthy in ways we didn’t fully recognize. Forte Strong helped us see that with honesty, compassion, and zero judgment. One of the greatest gifts Forte gave us was helping us understand that growth requires discomfort, struggle, accountability, and independence—not constant rescuing. They taught us how to separate what feels urgent from what actually is urgent, how to hold boundaries, and how to support our son without unintentionally reinforcing unhealthy patterns. The staff at Forte Strong are exceptional. They deeply understand young adult men and the challenges they face, and time and time again they were able to predict situations and behaviors with remarkable accuracy. As frustrating as that occasionally was in the moment, it was also incredibly reassuring because it meant our son was in the hands of people who truly knew what they were doing. The weekly parent webinars and family support were equally life-changing for us. They provided practical guidance, emotional support, and a community of parents who understood this experience in a way few others can. Those calls became one of the most meaningful parts of our week. Most importantly, Forte Strong helped give our son his life back. His progress has not been linear—there have been setbacks along the way—but he is in a far healthier and more hopeful place than he was before arriving there. He has built friendships, coping strategies, confidence, and independence in ways we honestly once thought might not be possible. Forte Strong is not a “quick fix,” because there is no quick fix. What they provide is something far more valuable: structure, accountability, support, expertise, and the opportunity for real growth—for both the young men there and their families. We will always be deeply grateful for the role Forte Strong has played in our son’s life and in ours.

What a great program!!! teaches you how to become independent step by step!!! Each step you take builds a great ladder of success as an adult. From budgeting, to managing a vehicle, to finding the perfect job. Are there gonna be some bumps and complications along the way, definitely, but with the support of the staff coaches and your housemates, you can get through it fast. I’ve learned that there are a lot of of great benefits and opportunities that arrive from here. A great example is that I’ve been working at two jobs I enjoy, plus I met my wife during the program. We have been married one year this year!! I hope many of the new faces at forte get to discover this same bonding and companionship that I had.

Accepted Insurance

Please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Forte Strong works with several private insurance providers, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Intervention Services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate.

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers intensive treatment to those with moderate to severe addictions while allowing them to return home. It is often an alternative to inpatient hospitalization and a "step-down" option from residential programs. PHP treatment is tailored to your needs and lasts an average of 90 days. Weekly sessions are up to 8 hours for 5 days a week and can include relapse prevention, medication management, and behavioral therapy services. The cost of PHP treatment varies but is often fully or partially covered by providers.

Treatments

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings. CBT is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

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.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective treatment, as it often covers root causes of the problem, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people some conditions to shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

Couples at any stage of their relationship may benefit from couples therapy in Utah. It is designed to keep relationships on the right path by teaching both partners healthy forms of communication and conflict resolution.

Their son's failures can be distressing for parents, who want nothing more but to see their children spread their wings and successfully leave the nest on their own. Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in treatment.

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). They immerse their students in a myriad of learning opportunities and in an environment centered around experiential learning which is why they feel Forte Strong is perfectly located for their students.
