Anyone with intellectual reasoning skills, which is often lacking here in both staff and students, would spend a day in here and realize that this is more like a child prison than a rehabilitation or treatment center. The goal of the Habibian s, who own the center and many others like it, is not to rehabilitate children as they have no personal connection to aiding struggling teens, the goal is to fill up as many spots possible so profit is maximized. You can see this in the obvious differences in treatment between students who privately pay and students who publicly pay. Students who are court ordered are often paid for through the court and Red Rock will restart their programs over something trivial in order to ensure the payments for an increased period of time, whereas private paid students are treated more fairly as their parents or whoever is paying can pull them from the program at anytime. The therapists have about the same amount of knowledge as my undergraduate psychology major university peers, who definitely currently do not possess the knowledge to give a therapy session, and these therapists don t actually have the social skills that are necessary for therapists to learn in order to personalize treatment and just reiterate whatever the generalized plan that the high-ups in the school tell them to. Maybe this is satisfactory to parents who want to present falsehoods to their children in order to gain some reigns over them, but when your therapist can t explain the difference between dependency and addiction and are telling your child that they need to go to NA for the rest of their lives from only smoking pot, it s hard to take seriously. They skew information as if Heroin and Pot are equivalents and being forced to sit in a room and listen to people who were intellectually subordinate compared to every other professional I have ever interacted with on the topic of addiction, they didn t have anything past a basic understanding of the subject while I understood how THC works in the cannabinoid receptor on the axon terminal and how it affects your brain specifically, it was seriously frustrating. Everyday staff are even less bright, a lot are helpful, but for the most part they have no more qualifications than a server at Red Robin. Should someone with the qualifications of a server at Red Robin be overseeing teenagers with severe problems? No. Which is why kids have been hit by staff, given drugs by staff, refused to be taken to the nurse by staff, violently and incorrectly restrained by staff, harassed and verbally assaulted by staff. I was personally in the room when a kid with severe fetal alcohol syndrome was hit straight in the face by an angry staff member. It s obvious that when they don t like a kid they restrain them harder. You won t hear any of this from your kid while they are there, the program has a strict no bashing rule and they will restart your child s program and force them to stay longer if they bash the program, nobody wants to face this, which is why the majority of success stories are just people who faked their way through the program. All of this plus they try very hard to force Mormonism on you, requiring students in the final stages of their programs to participate in drives that are done solely by the Mormon church, reading quotes from the Bible and Book of Mormon constantly, and even constantly putting in the program that you should attend scripture to advance further. Even though success is very arbitrary as I learned nothing from this program besides that youth treatment centers are inhumane and now have severe PTSD mostly in the form of severe generalized anxiety and didn t utilize anything from this manipulative program, yet am in my second year studying Computer Engineering at Virginia Commonwealth University. All that s left in my life of this program is an irreversible anger at the people who put me there and severe mental health problems that currently need therapy to fix.Be careful before you send your kid here, you probably won t get what you bargained for.

The staff are as helpful as some are hurtful. I went for help and at times I felt like I was getting worse. A particular staff named John c. Was a hypocrite, often doing what he told the students not to. He has used restraint methods where he slammed a student on his head twice. He lies and when he s mad he abuses his power. But he was the only staff I constantly had a problem with. The rest of the staff are always there and understanding, preparing us for the outside world.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
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.
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.
12-step icon12-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).
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

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.

Programs

teen-program thumbnail image
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
child-program thumbnail image
Child Program
The providers who specialize in the children's rehab space understand the specialized needs that this population faces. School-based and social services such as tutoring and family counseling are often central to treatment. Child programs may also address the needs of youth experiencing substance abuse in the home, including a parent's or sibling's addiction.
program-for-men thumbnail image
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 thumbnail image
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.

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.

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

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.

Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and dysfunctional eating patterns. Many psychologists and other mental health professionals consider eating disorders to be food addictions, meaning food is being used in an addictive way (similar to drug or alcohol addiction). Certain substance abuse treatment programs will have treatment for eating disorders as one of the services offered. An eating disorder may also present as a co-occuring disorder or dual diagnosis alongside drug and alcohol addiction.

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.

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 learning is a method they use to teach students and help them develop knowledge, skills, and values from direct experiences outside the traditional classroom setting.

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. Family therapy is available to visiting families on a quarterly basis, as well as being an integral part of the Family Weekend Program.

Fitness therapy blends exercise with psychotherapy for a fun, inspiring, and effective way of treating addiction and other issues. By incorporating movement into counseling sessions, clients become more empowered, motivated, and goal-oriented, all while strengthening their bodies and becoming more flexible. Fitness Therapy is usually used to complement a course of treatment (inpatient or outpatient) to make it even more successful. Increasing the connection between a patient’s mind and body helps both with healing as well as in creating new, healthy habits.

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.

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.

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.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

Rational Behavior Therapy (RBT) is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy meant to be short-term and comprehensive. It was intended to help clients become more self-sufficent and move forward without the need for expensive, ongoing therapy. It includes an emotional self-help method called “rational self-counseling,” the purpose of which is to give clients all the skills needed to handle future emotional issues by themselves, or with significantly less professional help.

Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being. In addition to the camps and seasons they play, students are encouraged to play our recreational sports such as bowling, tennis, and golf.

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.

Anyone with intellectual reasoning skills, which is often lacking here in both staff and students, would spend a day in here and realize that this is more like a child prison than a rehabilitation or treatment center. The goal of the Habibian s, who own the center and many others like it, is not to rehabilitate children as they have no personal connection to aiding struggling teens, the goal is to fill up as many spots possible so profit is maximized. You can see this in the obvious differences in treatment between students who privately pay and students who publicly pay. Students who are court ordered are often paid for through the court and Red Rock will restart their programs over something trivial in order to ensure the payments for an increased period of time, whereas private paid students are treated more fairly as their parents or whoever is paying can pull them from the program at anytime. The therapists have about the same amount of knowledge as my undergraduate psychology major university peers, who definitely currently do not possess the knowledge to give a therapy session, and these therapists don t actually have the social skills that are necessary for therapists to learn in order to personalize treatment and just reiterate whatever the generalized plan that the high-ups in the school tell them to. Maybe this is satisfactory to parents who want to present falsehoods to their children in order to gain some reigns over them, but when your therapist can t explain the difference between dependency and addiction and are telling your child that they need to go to NA for the rest of their lives from only smoking pot, it s hard to take seriously. They skew information as if Heroin and Pot are equivalents and being forced to sit in a room and listen to people who were intellectually subordinate compared to every other professional I have ever interacted with on the topic of addiction, they didn t have anything past a basic understanding of the subject while I understood how THC works in the cannabinoid receptor on the axon terminal and how it affects your brain specifically, it was seriously frustrating. Everyday staff are even less bright, a lot are helpful, but for the most part they have no more qualifications than a server at Red Robin.

Red Rock was definitely hard to go through and be there and at first I would have never written such a positive review about them, but this place seriously kept me alive. I appreciate this place and the people their so much because they helped me find myself again and never gave up on me or anyone. Thank you so much. *Green Unit*

I'm now a woman of 30, I had the displeasure of being in this program as a teenager (as well as the wilderness part that was shut down just a couple of years after my enrollment). I would NOT suggest this program for ANYONE! I would suggest Outward Bound or another program that is less damaging. This place should've been shut down years ago. It makes me ill to think that parents are still sending America's youth there...disgusting.

This school is run by religious fundamentalists out to make money. My sister came out worse than she went in. Whoever is writing positive reviews is an idiot. This place should be SHUT DOWN, and many staff members should be thrown in prison.
