This place is awful! The staff and nursing were terrible! They kept giving my son medicine that I had to tell them 6 times not to give him! If he didn't take it , he would get in trouble! My son has stomach problems and the bathrooms were locked! My son's medications were all switched causing him to now have some kind of heart problem! The staff were mean to the kids and encouraged kids to fight! I fought to get my son discharged from there since he was there on a court order! I also reported them to the Child protective service in Utah! My son came back missing half his clothes, his shoes, his prescription glasses, and all the things I sent him there! His blood test upon dismissal, showed he was dehydrated and malnutrition! He also lost at least 20lbs while there! This is so sad to see because they are supposed to be helping kids! They greatly failed my son and I am sure others! When I tried to inform the therapist, which is who you are supposed to inform of any problems, nothing would get done! There were so many problems with this place! I sure hope for the sake of the kids, that something gets done!

Other Forms of Payment

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

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.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

aftercare iconAftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Treatments

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.

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 (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions 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.

Rational Behavior Therapy (RBT) is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy meant to be short-term and comprehensive. It was intended to help clients become more self-sufficent and move forward without the need for expensive, ongoing therapy. It includes an emotional self-help method called “rational self-counseling,” the purpose of which is to give clients all the skills needed to handle future emotional issues by themselves, or with significantly less professional help.

Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.

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.

I was placed here back in 2018-19 and the year I was there was absolute hell..the main source of my trauma from there is towards the end of my stay, me and a group of girls with a therapist went on a mountain climbing trip but when I was about halfway up I slipped and severely dislocated my knee but they refused to let me down until I got over the ledge I had slipped on. When I finally was brought back down the therapist aggressively put my knee cap 'into place' and made me walk the 2 miles back to the van without support. When we got to the facility i tried talking to the nurses but they said my knee was fine and refused to look at it. Over the course of about a month and a half I went without any medical treatment to my knee, denied all pain medication and the nurses, staff and even my own therapist called me an attention seeker and drug seeker until we got a new nurse who examined my knee and she immediately took me to the hospital where they found out my knee cap was split in 3 different place with bone fragments scattered in my thigh and permanent ligament damage. I still can't walk on it properly without severe pain and my knee will just pop out of place now with the slightest pressure. That's not even the most of what happened, I suffered fractured ribs on numerous occasions from unnecessary restraining done by staff. I was once tackled and thrown into a concrete wall because a staff member believed I was on a phone call longer than normal when in reality I had just started and my grandmother had to hear the entire interaction, once the staff realized the phone was still on they just hung up and refused me any phone calls for almost 2 months and even then it was supervised until I was discharged. If you love your child and know they need help, do not under any circumstances send them here. This place is built on fear and abuse.

If you love your children, please do not send them to Provo Canyon School — at either location. This program is not about healing; it is about control, fear, and trauma. When I was first placed at the Provo campus, I immediately lost all dignity. On arrival, they strip you down, make you squat and cough, and then hand out medication to everyone, whether you need it or not. Children are treated like numbers, not people. My identity was reduced to my laundry number, 318. Solitary confinement (called a “dial 9”) was used constantly for the smallest reasons — refusing medication, not wanting to get up, or simply speaking up. This is not therapy; it is punishment. Later, I was also placed at the Springville campus, where I saw even younger children — as little as 5, 6, and 7 years old — being treated exactly the same way as the older kids. Watching small children restrained for throwing tantrums was heartbreaking and deeply wrong. No child should ever go through that. At Springville, the staff even created a program just for me called Right Before Speak. Because I told the truth about my father’s verbal abuse, they forced me, for an entire year, to write down everything before I was allowed to say it — even if I just needed to use the bathroom or ask for food. This damaged me in ways I am still healing from today. In school, by the time I finished writing my answer, the class had already moved on. That program silenced me and made me afraid to communicate, a struggle I still carry as an adult. I spent nearly three years in this system, and as a 30-year-old parent now, I can say with certainty: Provo Canyon School does not help children. It harms them. It strips away trust, creates trauma, and leaves lifelong scars. Parents, please reconsider. If you are thinking of sending your child here, know that this is not a safe or healing place. I would never, ever put my own children through what I endured.

2025- If your child’s support or treatment needs are severe DO NOT SEND THEM HERE!!!! My daughter REGRESSED exponentially while here! Their system of having a child’s therapist be the main person in charge of their treatment is completely flawed. My daughter’s therapist was at a loss for how to negate some serious issues she was having so I was referred to the student life director. When i was explaining my daughter’s behaviors and actions the director was audibly GASPING over the phone. She had NO IDEA of any information about my daughter even though she had been in treatment there for seven months!! Also, take all incident reports and boundary violations with a grain of salt as I discovered they aren’t even written by the staff members who were involved in or witnessed said incidents. Lastly, if your child is hyper-sexual or has poor sexual boundaries do not even consider sending them here. If students engage in sexual acts staff member will only verbally encourage them to stop. That’s all. Grown adults stand around watching minors engage in sexual acts with no intervention to stop it other than words. Provo states they do not recognize students’ immediate safety and welfare to be in danger when they are engaging in sexual acts so they refuse to physically intervene and stop said acts. An absolute joke.

I went here myself from 14 to 16 years of age. I had many a horrific experience of assault and absolute neglect. I was put on so many conflicting medications that I'm still dealing with serious health issues today as a result. The food was no better than basic prison food, often finding plastic bits while eating. I had gotten food poisoning several times from the ridiculously poor quality of food, even finding mold in the prepackaged foodstuffs. One incident i was assaulted while in the shower and staff did nothing to stop it. I was even attacked in my bed one night and nearly had my throat slit by a fellow participant. Staff merely gave me a bandaid and told me I shouldn't be provoking people. I was asleep when it happened! Another time the other three girls that i shared a room with were planning to attempt to run away and when staff found out they lumped me in with the rest. They dragged me out of my classroom nearly breaking my arm. I protested and got my face slammed into a wall. I was thrown by my hair into the obs room while my nose was bleeding everywhere. I was given nothing to clean myself up and was left alone in the room till the next afternoon with no food or water. It was often freezing in those rooms as they were bare concrete and we were given nothing to help, being put in raggedy shorts and a t-shirt full of holes and no socks. I often begged my parents to take me out of there, but they were told lies by the staff that made them believe I was lying about everything I went through. Please please PLEASE do NOT send your children here!! I beg you to reconsider
