The worst medical staff of all is in this place, are ill-prepared to meet the needs of patients. Also, everything they offer on their website is a farce, they didn't fulfill any of what they promised.
About Recovery Ways – Brunswick Place
The Recovery Ways Brunswick Place is a Murray, Utah-based facility that provides addiction treatment to adults. They are accredited by the Joint Commision and were chosen as a top provider in 2024 by Newsweek.
This Utah drug rehab center relies on holistic methods to ensure a fulsome treatment practice. Here, clients can get medical detox, residential treatment and different levels of outpatient care. They accept most private health insurance plans and work with clients who are self-paying.
A Structured Environment For Recovery
The Recovery Ways Brunswick Place offers a state-of-the art facility with a welcoming non-judgemental environment. Their care focuses on physical wellness, creative therapies and mindfulness. During inpatient care, you get around-the-clock support with a structured and immersive daily schedule.
I like that patients get nutritious meals and get to enjoy participating in seasonal recreational activities such as bowling and yoga. One of their most striking features, to me, is their multi-sensory room. In it, there is equipment that engages or calms the senses to help clients learn to self-regulate.
With clients in better control of their emotions, they can be less likely to relapse. In addition to this treatment, staff members may use therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and eye movement and desensitization and reprocessing to help you recover.
Outpatient Care For Continued Healing
The Recovery Ways Brunswick Place offers different levels of outpatient care to continue your healing. They provide partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient programs, and aftercare. In the aftercare program, you’ll continue to get access to education and support to support your long-term sobriety.

They start off seeming very nice, and the staff is friendly at first. But once you’ve been there for a while and they find out more about you, they begin to treat you judgmentally. There are about two or three people there who are genuinely sincere and do care, but the rest seem to be more focused on control than compassion. Beware of this company they’re manipulators who take advantage of people trying to recover. I remember one of the other occupants there threatened my life, and when I wanted to leave because my job and home was on the line, they refused to release me. I was basically held hostage for 30 days. Be cautious about that one clause in their agreement. Also, every time you take a drug test, you’ll be charged even though they don’t tell you that upfront. Those are hidden fees that show up only after you leave the clinic.
You will send your loved one there an alcoholic and return addicted to vaping. They don’t allow you to send any of that with them. After they are there two weeks they give them access to a smoke shop with delivery’s to the door. Shifting addiction to something else is all they do.
I would put 0 stars if it were possible. I won't have enough space to say everything, so I will say what I can. I was admin here for mental health on 4-29-2025. I was discharged on 5-5-2025 suicidal to my house because of a legality they didn't want to deal with. They will never admit to it so they don't get into trouble, however how things went down I'm pretty positive that's why. The clinical director Linda orchestrated the whole thing. She talks to me with my case manager Tyson, tells me I'm going to another place that only deals with mental health, I found out was a lie & makes me sign a white box on a computer screen to which I have no clue what I'm signing while emotionally distraught & she knows I'm currently suicidal. Instead of keeping me here until I get to the other place she discharged me home. She wasn't willing to wait until family can pick me up she cordinates a driver to take me home. Staff helps me pack my things & I have no time to verify if it's all there. I'm almost home and I realize my wallet and some other belongings of mine behind the desk are still there. My husband drove me back to get them. I get home and it's 8 pm & I realize they never gave me my meds. I call and find out I was supposed to sign saying I have my meds. I tell them they should have to bring them to me since it's their mistake. They tell me they won't bring things to someone they forgot. I tell them that legally they were supposed to & it's dumb to send a suicidal person home w/o their meds, they won't budge. I go back at 10:30 & it takes them 1 hour to count my meds. I finally sign for everything. I get home & don't have my phone charger & some more things. I call them the next morning & again at noon. They say they will check & call back. I had to call 3 hours later. I go to get my things that evening. I received an email earlier that day saying I discharged at 11:35 pm when I signed everything, another legality. Now today 5-8-2025 they can't even be bothered to fax lab results to my specialist who ordered it so I can go over it. They treated me less than human & a lot of legalities. I will tell everyone NEVER to go here, worst mental health facility ever! Update: The place I was supposed to go to just told me I'm not a good fit. So now I have to contact my insurance company to figure out where else to go. So recovery ways discharged a mentally distraught person to home and no where else to go. They're damn lucky I want to get better or my husband would have a lawsuit against them if I were to hurt myself or kill myself!

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.
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.
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.
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.
Clients receiving services in a rehab aftercare program have generally been stable and sober for a period of weeks and months and no longer require high intensity treatment. Many have stepped down from inpatient rehab to outpatient treatment. Others have been discharged from formal treatment but need support in maintaining their sobriety. Clients typically work with their case manager and care team to develop a long-term care plan that aligns with their unique needs and goals.
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.
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 with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.
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.
In order to ensure your safety during the withdrawal process, rehabs offer 24-hour clinical care in Utah. You have access to experienced medical staff around the clock, and they can adminsiter treatments or perform clincial interventions that lessen withdrawal symptoms and make you more comfortable. Teatments can include medications, nutritional supplements, and mental health counseling.
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
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.
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 (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.
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.
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.
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.
The Family Program is an integral part of the recovery process at Recovery Ways. The primary purpose of the program is to educate and support patient’s families in the many ways that the family system has been impacted. The facility wants to help family members understand their loved one in treatment and be able to help them once they are done with treatment. This program is often a big step towards restoring trust and forgiveness in the relationships that may have been lost because of the addiction. Addiction is commonly referred to as a “family disease” and people usually do not know how to start repairing the damage done by addiction with professional therapists understanding, communication, and trust can be done for everyone involved building a healthy foundation for a healthier future for the patient and their family.
Life skills training helps you handle the daily obligations of work, school, and family. It rebuilds your self awareness and self confidence so you can face these challenges with healthy coping strategies rather than succumb to relapse.
Active addiction can quickly lead to malnutrition. This makes recovery even harder because your body doesn't have the nutrients it needs to function. During nutrition therapy, you'll learn about the effects of substance use on the body, how food can help your mental health, and how to maintain a nutritious diet.
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.
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.
