This is the best mental health provider I have had. I met the owner at one point and she is beyond knowledgeable on medication and finding the right therapist/therapy style. After a year of being a patient my mental and physical health was better than it had been in years.

A treatment program that cares more about the patients than their bottom line. They always answer their phones and offer a variety of treatment services that treats the person in totality. Highly recommmend!

Mediocre therapy center. "when things aren't well with my husband or family, therapy tends to be more about me than my client." That is what my therapist told me 2x in person. How unprofessional! I was paying $112 an hour at the time. I left a vm for the office manager Amanda at the time and never got a call back. Since I got unprofessional treatment, an object thrown at me and sarcasm in therapy; I want to know if I could get some of my money back. Apparently you cannot report a therapist to the state of Utah that is an intern who is pursuing their masters degree. If the office management does not address the "interns" unethical behavior, how many other patients are experiencing poor treatment? I am calling by regence blue cross to describe my experience with Alpine centers.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Intensive Outpatient

Clients often choose to enter intensive outpatient programs (IOP) when they exit inpatient rehab. Others turn to IOP as an alternative to hospitalization. Intensive outpatient rehabs offer high-level care for clients in early recovery and those at an elevated risk of relapse, typically requiring them to commit to between nine and 20 hours of treatment per week. The most prevalent treatment modalities include psychotherapy, recovery education, medication assisted treatment (MAT), and holistic therapies, such as meditation.

Aftercare

12-Step

Participants in 12 step programs engage in rigorous group counseling, peer coaching, and personal development. Though 12 step recovery is rooted in spiritual principles, religious affiliation is not mandatory. The steps model promotes participants' emotional and psychological healing, which is presumed integral to sustained sobriety. Regular attendance at group meetings is expected. These meetings are free, anonymous, peer-led, and accessible day and night in most communities. Gender and age-specific programs and other specialized formats are common.

Intervention Services

If your friend or family member is suffering physically or psychologically from substance use but denies there is a problem, it might be time for a drug intervention in Utah. This process involves meeting with an intervention specialist from a facility's intervention services program. This specialist will interview family members to gain an understanding of the situation, then facilitate the intervention. Their expertise can prove invaluable in navigating this complex confrontation.

Partial Hospitalization Program

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.

Medically Assisted Detox

Medical detox is the safest way to remove addictive substances from your body under the care of medical professionals. In an inpatient environment, you'll be monitored 24/7 by doctors, nurses, and clinical experts, who will help keep you as safe and comfortable as possible and administer medication if needed to treat any withdrawal symptoms. The process may take up to a week or longer depending on your needs, and is often at least partially covered by insurance.

Programs

Adult program

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 Adult Program

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.

Military Program

Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Clinical Services

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.

During dialectical behavior therapy in Utah, you'll work on developing four main skills. Interpersonal effectiveness helps you manage your relationships. Mindfulness keeps you present in the current moment rather than worry or regret. Distress tolerance helps you accept emotions. Emotional regulation gives you the tools you need to successfully manage intense emotions.

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.

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.

The foundation of motivational interviewing in Utah rests on four pillars: partnership, evocation, acceptance, and compassion. The therapist collaborates with the client, encouraging them to explore their options and make informed decisions about making changes in their lives.

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.

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.

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.

Alpine used to be an amazing addiction and recovery treatment center. I have been going to Alpine for about 12 years now. In the beginning, they were genuine and truly made it feel like they cared about helping people struggling with addiction. It truly felt like they wanted to help anyone and everyone that was seeking recovery. At one point it felt like a place full of caring doctors and therapists working together to make a difference in their patients' lives. However, over time my views have changed entirely. Many of the doctors and counselors have come and gone but I have kept going to Alpine Center even after they stopped accepting my insurance and it became a 2-hour commute for every appointment. I did this because I was grateful for them providing treatment and because I felt like it was worth it due to how much I thought they cared for the patients. Recently though, it feels like quite the opposite. They no longer seem interested in maintaining sobriety and helping their patients. More and more it feels like they are either burnt out by the difficulties that addicts present to them or they are only in it for the money. Perhaps it's both. I used to recommend others to go here for treatment but now, all I have to say is that if you want to change your life and your future and are looking for a team to support you in your journey I would suggest looking elsewhere as I am currently doing. I have nearly relapsed on multiple occasions due to circumstances outside of my control and rather than hearing me out and helping me, I was told to look at going to an ER then after paying my regular $100 co-pay my appointment was changed last minute to a phone call which was no problem until after my whole 3-minute phone conversation talking to my provider, my treatment plan was changed and my prescription frequency without even informing me. Then when calling the MA line and leaving a VM telling them about what I thought to be a mistake I did not get a return call from anyone. I finally called again after 2 weeks to again leave a VM and finally got a return call I was informed about the changes made to my treatment even though the APRN never said a word about it during our 3-minute, phone appointment that cost me $100 out of pocket. This is only one of the many issues I've encountered after being assigned to a new APRN who knows nothing about my history as a patient and doesn't seem to care to find out. Appointments are expensive and rushed and he is unwilling to work with me as a patient but will change things without informing the patient and I'm told I am not able to switch to the only other Doctor available at the clinic. If you intend to stay sober 12 years in the future and want a team that is caring, informative, and works with the patient as a team to maintain sobriety I would look elsewhere. The pain they have caused me recently has shown their mission statements and descriptions on their website are all just words and they are in it for the money. Even reaching out to the owner or director for guidance is pointless when they used to be willing to help as much as possible. I will be looking for a new provider which is a shame because I really used to see Alpine Center differently and was so grateful to them years ago.

AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTI started going to Alpine Centers for about 5-6 therapy sessions due to becoming a new parent and my mental state deteriorating due to the heavy amounts of stress and other personal traumatic experiences in my life. I seeked help for my depression, separation anxiety and suicidal thoughts due to my living situation. Through my first therapy sessions I went over my situation and the first therapist was very dismissive and judgmental of what I was going through. I was just coming off Maternity leave and also needed a letter of accommodations to be able to take care of my daughter from home for a couple months since my work approved it and I needed time to figure things out , we could not afford daycare and have negative and traumatizing experiences from previous family member's children being put in daycare. I had my last session with Tracy the office manager who when I explained everything to my living situation, mental state etc. He completely invalidated what I was going through in my life and as a new parent, he judged me and my need to work while watching my child even though I had exhausted all options and I needed some more time, and he also asked very inappropriate questions about my partner, and overall I feel disgusted after that session just by the way I was treated.This place did not feel like a safe space , this place did not feel like they were there to understand and help me grow. I had to basically beg for a short term 6 month accommodations letter while I figured things out . Tracy and I agreed to have another Therapy session after the 6 month period to check in on how I was doing and if this was helping me. 2 months later when my work called to verify the letter. Tracy told them to cancel my accommodations due to not seeing me in 2 months even though we spoke about our next session being after 6 months. He never communicated this to me, knowing how much my life depended on this request he asked them to cancel. Thankfully I'm currently going to a therapist who is actually here for me and was able to advocate for me and have my back.THIS PLACE IS SKETCHY, I always paid my sessions upfront due to my insurance not covering this location, but then I get a random bill from Alpine Centers from my insurance even though I never provided them with any insurance information or card.Getting a call back from then is impossible even when you let them know how urgent it is. Weeks would go by and I would never get a call back and I would always have to make an appointment again.Please avoid this place they are only after your money and not here to help you surpass what situation you are going through or make you feel safe.
