About Forte Strong

Forte Strong is a residential treatment program for young men in St. George, Utah. They provide residential mental health treatment and coaching for young adult men aged 18 through 30. Specifically, this program is for men struggling with failure to launch syndrome, avoidant personality, social anxiety disorder, and adjustment disorder. They do not treat drug addiction or provide detox services.

Forte Strong defines failure to launch syndrome as young men who are struggling in their lives, work, or classes, and still live at home with their parents. They may have intense anxiety about doing adult tasks and may escape their stress by playing video games. This independent living program uses a combination of life coaching and therapy to help treat the necessary skills to thrive.

This program uses a five step approach that includes connection, discovery, coaching, being challenged, and repetition.

Former clients say they felt guided and cared about. They felt like treatment was effective and successful. Other clients said that the staff is extraordinary and that the program helped redirect their lives.

I (Jackson Freitas) began this program a little unsure of how it would work. I grew to absolutely love this program and its staff. This program has helped me become so much more independent, trustworthy, and just in general feel like I am worth something. All of the staff who are employed here want to help the students. Countless times I have heard from the coaches here that this job is so much more rewarding because of what this job allows them to do, such as helping their students. Brook Price as the program director always makes sure that the program benefits its students. I attended this program for around 6-7 months and I did graduate from here, I do not regret coming here at all. All I have is appreciation for the coaches/staff.

Forte Strong has helped me tremendously. There have been many changes to the program in the time that I have been here, of course there were some that I liked and didn't like, some that helped me and some that didn't. I also learned that if I want to see change in myself, I need to put the effort in to achieve that change. For the first few months, I didn't really put in any effort, and after learning that no effort = no gain, I started to put in the work to see change in myself. After nearly a year, I believe that I am a completely different, more mature, and a wiser person. I'd also like to quickly thank my wonderful mother for giving me this opportunity to grow!

Accepted Insurance

Forte Strong works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, 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 iconOutpatient
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.
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
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.
partial-hospitalization iconPartial 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.

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-program thumbnail image
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 thumbnail image
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.

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.

So I graduated Forte Strong roughly two months ago, having stayed for ten months. In the time this program completely changed my outlook on life and showed me how to carry myself in an entirely different way. My life has become some much healthier as a result, and left me with a strong support system that it helped me develop. I can probably go on for hours on how this program helped me but all that I will say here is that this place changed me for the better, and I am confident it will help anyone else who gives the program a chance.

Response from the owner5 months ago
Thank you for your positive feedback, Hayden! We're thrilled to hear that our program strongly impacted your life for the better. It's encouraging to know that you've found a healthy lifestyle and a strong support system. Your words are of great value to us and to others considering our program.

The program looks nice but it is not. The guys in the program are not as happy as they seem . Program is a lot harder than it looks. You have to get scans which can be quite difficult. Do not come here. You will probably end up regretting it.

Response from the owner10 months ago
Hey Caleb! We appreciate your struggle and know how hard you've been working. Change is not easy, and nothing in life that's worth it comes easy. The program can be difficult at times because it is designed to hold up the mirror to us and reflect back who/where we currently are. This can be uncomfortable, especially when we are at a place that we don't want to be. This discomfort is what helps to initiate positive, actionable, and sustainable change towards greater independence! You can do it!

As a parent, I m impressed with the straightforward conversations/practical applications/focused direction, and time spent really delving into my sons experiences and ideas in how he may grow.Forte Strong is transparent, encouraging, and truly cares about the young men and are not solely focused on their bottom line of making money, but instead on the ability to grow and how to get there. This is rare these days, and something I have a deep appreciation for. Thank you especially, to Will, for your patience and knowledge.
