Levels of Care

Inpatient

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

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.

Aftercare

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

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 Homes

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

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.

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.

Treatment

Alcoholism

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.

Drug Addiction

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.

Dual Diagnosis

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.

Mental Health and Substance Abuse

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 Addiction

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

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

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

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.

Individual Therapy

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.

Motivational Interviewing

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.

Trauma Therapy

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 Therapy

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.

Family Therapy

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.

Life Skills

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.

Recreational Therapy

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.

Response from the owner2 months ago

Thanks Michael and congratulations on your recovery. Odyssey has a successful program, but YOU put in the hard work and that's why you succeeded. The people who worked with you will love hearing your comments about them.

Lots of fake reviews here. Don't fall for it.

That simply is an absolute lie Leia. If we were faking our reviews we would have erased yours.

Matthew Haight

Working at Odyssey House has been a life-changing experience for me. This place truly changes lives. Every day, I see the positive impact it has on individuals and families. The supportive and compassionate environment helps people on their journey to recovery, and being a part of this team has been incredibly rewarding. I've grown both personally and professionally, and I am grateful for the opportunity to make a difference, because Odyssey House has made a difference in my life.

Thanks for being part of the Odyssey House team Matthew. You are part of our caring staff and your efforts help Odyssey achieve its goals and make the program so successful. We've changed the lives of thousands of people over the years and we are gratified that working here made such a difference in your life as well.

Donna Arnold

This is a great program. My son did so well here.

We love hearing from people like you Donna and we are so glad the Odyssey program worked so well for your son. Thank you for taking the time to write a review. The key for a long future for your son is staying associated with the recovery community.

Marisela Urcino

Odyssey House has tremendously helped me find & re-builed my relationships, gaining knowledge and new skills when I am struggling, Odyssey has helped me find the right way to recovery, best of all has guided me to find myself again, a better version of myself. I couldn't have done it without Millcreek inpatient staff members, Sugar House outpatient staff members, my therapists, and my peers without their support it would've been harder. Thank you Odyssey House!

Thank you for the great review Marisela. Odyssey House is glad you found a better version of yourself and we thank you for all the hard work you put into your recovery. You may not know it, but reviews like this mean so much to the staff, the therapists and your peers. It keeps them going with the belief and love for the Odyssey slogan that "WE ARE RECOVERY!"

That Hispanic Boy

I ve found the community to be very friendly and involved. This is my first week here. Lots to learn still. Carlos Guzman 2100 south location

Thanks for the review Carlos. You do have a lot to work through since this is your first week. Remember to stick with it through the ups and downs and you will find long term recovery if you put in the hard work. We wish you well in your journey.

Theresa Riehle

These people are DANGEROUS. Expect to experience threats and bullying, assault -grade gaslighting, outright lying and manipulation, and- in the event you attempt to call out this abuse for what it is, the staff is absolutely willing to file a false report with local law enforcement, for no reason other than punish you for it.*Important note: One of the "consequences" openly disclosed by the organization as a whole is that they will, by their own statement, "simply rest on the fact that you cannot not be taken seriously as you are just a disgruntled addict."First, the events described did not happen to me, but to my daughter. What I witnessed cannot be gaslighted away in such a pretense;Second - my daughter had been referred to Odyssey house, and was admitted to Odyssey house (a months long process in coordinating) VOLUNTARY, for impatient treatment for MENTAL HEALTH conditions, not under a court order for addiction counseling. This terrifies most, as it starkly illuminates the complete lack of understanding and capacity on the part of the staff-on-site required for them to even minimally perform the most basic aspect of their job.

Thanks for your review Theresa. Odyssey House takes every client seriously with love and caring. We would never write someone off as a disgruntled addict. Most of our clients in our mental health facilities have a dual diagnosis of mental health and drug addiction and we specialize in treating them both. We have thousands of successful clients over the years and a staff that cares about each one. We applaud you and your daughter for seeking help. If one program doesn't work out for you, perhaps you should try another. It is our hope that your daughter goes on to lead a healthy and happy life.

I loved working with the teens there. (I felt like i was treated as a psychtech and am a lcsw ) The therapeutic community was opposite of trauma therapy for my clients. I was told to work many graveyard hours because the casemanager had elsewhere to be. I was told this is trial by fire with no back up help. That was over 12 years ago and I pray to God your teen living is very much different. I know one recent client found help there. I am giving 3 stars to be dialectical that my experience was not great as a therapist, and I am appreciative that others found that treatment helpful. I hope your program has become trauma therapy oriented. I want anyone seeking help to find it and Odyssey house has helped many. My lower review was due to working there and being treated like a client with the whole wolf ticket reporting and working 24 hour shifts because i was the new guy. Hope much has changed after 10 years.

Hello BN. It's pretty hard to respond to a review that has no details. Perhaps you could elaborate on the 1 star rating.

Odyssey House has given me the tools and the know how to start rebuilding my life. The staff at Lighthouse were welcoming and kind and even though I had to spend the first ten days in quarantine they never stopped challenging me to overcome my fears and doubts or encouraging me to embrace my strengths and my story in hopes that I may inspire someone who is still struggling in the nightmare of addiction. I have connections to the sober community now that have made a positive impact on my every day life. Thank you Odyssey!!

Thank you Destiny. Starting out in quarantine because of Covid must have been difficult, but you continued to do the hard work it takes to overcome what you call the nightmare of addiction. Odyssey House has a professional staff that is welcoming and kind, but remember that you put in the hard work. Stick with your connections in the sober community and you will go far.

Dwaine Gee

I am thankful for the inpatient and outpatient treatment I am getting. Dwaine Gee

And we are thankful you are getting the treatment you are seeking Dwaine. It's a long, hard program going through residential and outpatient treatment, but we hope it will make a huge improvement in your life in the years to come. Thanks for the review.

Wendy Martin

I am writing this review to express my profound gratitude to Odyssey House for the incredible impact their treatment facility has had on my dear friend Meagan who was struggling with addiction for years. From the moment she entered the program, we witnessed a transformation that can only be described as life changing. Today my friend is living a healthier, happier life and it is all thanks to the exceptional care and support she s received from Odyssey House. Her h journey to recovery has been nothing short of remarkable, and we owe a debt of gratitude to everyone who played a part in her transformation. If you have a loved one struggling with addiction, I wholeheartedly recommend Odyssey House.Thank you, Odyssey House, for giving my friend a second chance at life.Wendy Martin
