Comprehensive SUD and Mental Health Treatment in Utah County
Approximately 45 miles south of Salt Lake City, Utah, Orem is a scenic area at the base of the Wasatch Mountains and close to Utah Lake. The city has stunning views of Mount Timpanogos, and residents enjoy taking in outdoor activities such as hiking and cross country skiing.
The SUD programs include residential detox at one of the organization’s nearby inpatient treatment centers in Provo, if appropriate. There’s also an intensive residential treatment program at the Provo location.
The program includes therapy, education, and assistance with developing skills for daily living. MAT is also available for clients with opioid addiction.
Adult Drug Court and Drug Offender Reform Act (DORA) Programs
The Orem location also offers adult drug court programs via referrals from attorneys or judges. Two adult drug courts handle probation and felonies. Three family drug courts are for adults with children involved in the Division of Child and Family Services.
When offenders plead guilty to felony or drug related charges, they may be offered an alternative to incarceration through the drug courts. The court provides SUD and behavioral health treatment services and structured supervision at the Orem location.
Additionally, drug involved, nonviolent offenders may be given the option of the Utah County Alternative Probation program (UCAP). The program provides supervision services within the community. Offenders are referred by judges through the Utah County Sheriff’s Office. Individuals in the programs are subject to drug testing.
Rehab Score
Our Methodology
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.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient 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.
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.
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.
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.
