What I liked the most about Pinnacle Recovery was that instead of only helping me with my addiction problem they also helped my family to get over the experiences that occurred because of me.

Latest Reviews
Highly recommend Pinnacle for anyone who wants to get sober, stay sober, and is willing to put in the work.The house is expansive, clean and always staffed. The program staff are friendly and empathetic to individuals needs. The Chef Kat is amazing and there is no shortage of healthy snacks on hand at all times. The clinical staff / therapists are excellent. They gave me tools to stay sober, helped me through the root causes of my addiction, and changed my outlook on life.
I am CERTAIN this review will be deleted since EVERY review on this page gives 5 stars. I'm sorry but that is not typical of any recovery center, let alone ANY establishment on God's green earth! I have always believed the best in people and trust EVERYONE to an extreme fault. So, as my 6 & 7 year old Niece and Nephew say "SUS"...SUSPECT, for this center!I FINALLY admitted to needing inpatient treatment, after IOP has failed (twice) and having a failed attempt at AA (ALL ON ME - no victim here) so I Googled inpatient recovery centers and I found Pinnacle. I was SO HOPEFUL that I finally found a place that checks every single box of the recovery I have sought for so many years (BONUS, my best friend lives 7 minutes away). I HAVE NOT been to this facility. PLEASE READ ON for ANYONE that is TRYING to fight for their life in recovery and has miserably failed and thinks that THIS PLACE actually gives a shit (or just bypass Alex) to save your life!I called Pinnacle at midnight (Arizona time on 10/25) to get information on their program. I was told to speak to Becca (the house manager) or Mary Kay in the morning by the super nice man I spoke to (I WISH I would have remembered his name) and was assured that they would answer all of my questions and help me in my time of need. All of the reviews do talk about how wonderful they are.Fast forward to 2:54pm (AZ time) when I called the same number and asked for either Becca or Mary Kay. I was "greeted" by ALEX. First, he asks (very unwelcoming) "how did you hear of these names"? I said "the guy I spoke to at this EXACT same phone number I called at midnight today". He replied with something like oh, do you know them personally? I do not. Regardless of this off putting conversation he proceeds to tell me he can "help" me with information on the program. He did seem to know what he was talking about but here was the problem that I NEVER even considered. I take Xanax for anxiety. I was prescribed this in my early 20's for severe panic disorder which was so crippling to where I could not drive for TWO YEARS! The Doctor I had at the time put me on this medication, I was an extremely naieve 20 year old and had NO idea what a benzodiazepine even was. All I know is that it got rid of my anxiety. The problem is, that is THE ONLY medication he prescribed for me, and 20+ years later I find out (via NETFLIX) that THIS controlled substance is WORSE THAN heroin? For ANYONE on Xanax, please watch Netflix...'Take your Pills: Xanax'. My alcoholism is all on me but a prescribed medication from a MD, I NEVER thought would make me ineligible to get into an inpatient treatment center. Nor did I think it was an addiction. I TOTALLY get that controlled substances are not allowed. I told Alex that I did not think I can wean off alcohol AND Xanax all at one time (as per my psychiatric NP that I see in Arizona AND multiple therapists I've had via IOP in the last 5 years) he began to sound VERY annoyed when I started asking MANY questions about talking to a Dr. on staff to see if this was safe to wean off BOTH at the same time! I asked if there was a chance I could speak with the Doctor, he said "I will call the Doctor (irritated) now and I will "call you right back"", shocker, HE DID NOT! I'm disgusted. This place sounded like a dream come true! IF my 1 star review is NOT removed I SO hope people read this.Thanks Alex, in helping me in my recovery! I think you should SERIOUSLY find a new line of work! I may be an alcoholic (and a Xanax "addict" WITHOUT KNOWING THAT) but I run a VERY successful company since 1995 DESPITE my alcoholism and I would NEVER treat a single one of my clients (or POTENTIAL clients) this way. It is appalling. Thankfully I'm not suicidal! If I was able to get past the "gatekeeper" I may have talked to someone on the phone (Becca and Mary Kay who I was, again, assured would welcome me with open arms) and MAYBE I would have had a better outcome or at least I would have been treated better (based on ALL of the "5 star reviews")!
Pinnacle Recovery is a great place to do your drug/alcohol and mental health treatment. By far the nicest treatment center I've ever been to. Staff is kind and empathetic to your struggles. The Chef Kat is absolutely amazing. I'm really glad I chose Pinnacle to face my problems and start the journey to get better. I would definitely recommend this place to anybody struggling with addiction that wants to get and stay sober.

Accepted Insurance
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.
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 Pinnacle Recovery’s Utah Outpatient Rehab programs are here to help those who need addiction treatment, but either cannot attend an inpatient program, or may not need the intensive therapy that inpatient offers. While they strongly recommend inpatient treatment for most patients, there are many situations in which outpatient treatment is the best option.
Inpatient Addiction treatment at an inpatient rehab center is significantly more intensive than outpatient and community-based care. Clients remain at the facility for the duration of their program, though many centers offer supervised group excursions. Inpatient treatment typically consists of extensive psychotherapy, often including group and family counseling. Many programs also prioritize addiction education and recovery-focused life skills training. Holistic therapies, such as yoga, art therapy, EMDR, and meditation, are commonly available as well.
Intensive Outpatient Intensive outpatient programs, like their Utah Outpatient Rehab, are programs that are designed for individuals who need help with drug or alcohol but are either so situated in their lives that they cannot uproot themselves and go away for 30 days, or have not advanced far enough into their addiction where inpatient treatment is warranted. Many addictions, depending on severity, need medical attention that can only effectively be given in an inpatient setting. But less severe addictions need treatment too, and this is where a program like our Utah Outpatient Rehab comes in.
Aftercare Support 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).
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.
24-Hour Clinical Care At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.
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.
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 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.
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
HIV/AIDS Program
HIV/AIDS programs support disease prevention and management in high-risk individuals in recovery. Individuals who engage in intravenous drug use and other addictive behaviors are at a higher risk of becoming infected with HIV. Rehab centers that specialize in treating this population typically have a high number of nurses, physicians, and psychiatrists on staff who can make sure both their medical and mental health needs are met.
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
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).
Postpartum Program
The postpartum period is a sensitive time, especially for women in addiction recovery. Rehabs with specialized programs for new mothers will offer compassionate, personalized care to meet each client's needs as they transition from pregnancy to this season of life. Care teams may include obstetricians, pediatricians, and social workers working collaboratively to give women, children, and families a healthy future.
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Treatment (CBT) is the practice of rewiring the brain, so to speak. They work with the patient to identify harmful thought patterns she/he have developed, and show the new, proactive thought patterns to put the patient back in control of his/her actions. Metacognition (thinking about the way someone thinks) is a powerful tool in addiction recovery.
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.
Equine therapy, aka equine-assisted therapy (EAT), is a form of experiential therapy that involves interactions and activities with horses. It does not necessarily involve riding horses, but all activities related to horses, such as feeding, grooming, haltering and leading them. A mental health professional frequently oversees the activities (often in conjunction with a horse professional), and helps patients process their thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns during and/or after the interaction.
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.
A key component of many treatment plans, individual therapy allows them the chance to get to know the patient, and give him/her professional counselling time, one on one. Their staff of licensed, experienced professionals are here to listen and offer support through your treatment.
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 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.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence based, highly effective way to address underlying issues that may have lead to the addiction. Trauma, anxiety, and other negative emotions and memories are often repressed. EMDR is used in conjunction with other therapies to resurface those repressed emotions and memories, and work through them with a professional.
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 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.
Specialists trained in creative arts therapy can incorporate methods such as art, music, and writing therapy in your treatment program. These expressive methods may be combined with psychodynamic therapy and mindfulness based approaches.
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). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.
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.
