About Salt Lake Behavioral Health

Salt Lake Behavioral Health is located in South Salt Lake, Utah. They provide inpatient and outpatient treatment to those with mental, behavioral or substance use disorders. They’re licensed by the state of Utah and accredited by The Joint Commission.

They have an inpatient adult mental health unit that’s designed for those who need structure and support to overcome anxiety, depression or unstable moods as well as help with suicidal thoughts or after a recent suicide attempt. They use a team of psychological providers, licensed therapists, mental health professionals and registered nurses who use a multidisciplinary treatment approach that addresses each person’s different needs. They mainly use group psychotherapy and individual medication management in a controlled, comfortable and secure environment.

They have a Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU) which is for adults who need a high level of structure to overcome psychosis, aggressive behaviors or mood instability. This is an intensive inpatient treatment program.

They have a Detox and Courage to Change Medicine Program that uses medication and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help recognize the substance abuse cycle and learn strategies for long term recovery. They also have a Courage to Change Addiction Medicine Rehab Program which is a 30 day inpatient rehab program where you’ll have 24/7 nurse supervision and focus on daily recovery through interventions, relapse prevention and addressing trauma.

They have two intensive outpatient programs here, one for adults and another for adolescents. The adult outpatient program is for those who have tried a general outpatient program and didn’t have success. It’s also for people who’ve been hospitalized for any addiction or psychological issue and need added support when they return back to their everyday lives.

The adolescent intensive outpatient program is for people aged 13 to 17. It meets three times per week for three hours per day, to provide in-depth mental health treatment. It runs Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 4-7 pm to accommodate school schedules.

They also have the Strong Hope Military Trauma Program which is a mental health and substance abuse treatment program for members of the military, military families and veterans. It’s an evidence based PTSD treatment protocol focused on combat trauma, military sexual trauma and childhood trauma.

This program is also focused on addiction and those with dual diagnosis, anxiety, depression and other behavioral health issues. They have separate programs for women and men too.

For short term psychiatric programs they accept most major insurances and many Utah Medicaid plans. For the residential or inpatient 30 day addiction program they accept Medicare and TRICARE, and for the military trauma program, they accept TRICARE East, TRICARE West and TRICARE Overseas as well as referrals from your local VA.

This place is very disappointing. My brother who is mentally ill was not provided resources when transitioning out of their facility. They gave him a 30 day supply of medication and are dropping him off at a homeless shelter. They do not listen to their patients. They do not communicate with the families who are trying to get their loved one treatment. SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN and strip everyone from their licenses and credentials. Strip Dr. Faizi of his license!!! They are the prime example of why people end up on the streets untreated and end up dying. SHAMEFUL. SHAMEFUL. SHAMEFUL.Update: The person who told us this information was the director herself, Amber. However, now a receptionist was telling us that they don t release patients without a care plan and talking with the family about resources. So, someone is lying or there s a LOT of miscommunication. Someone better figure it out!!Update: They actually called my mom and gave her the run down on his treatment, what medications he s on, and that they are releasing him (to a homeless shelter) in a few days. Glad to see this issue somewhat resolved , but the amount of stress and frustration that we ve been through is enough for us. It took them 2.5 weeks to get to this point. Still, communication would have been nice. Hopefully they will be more consistent this way in the future.Update: They sent him to Rescue Mission in Salt Lake and told my brother that there was a transition program for him, but there is no program that exists. They gave him a phone number to call in case he had any questions, it was the directors number. He called said it was him calling and they said we don t know who you are . He spiraled and the volunteers there had to call medic to take him to University of Utah. I am so disgusted with this place and their miscommunication.

I was in here for 11 days, and it was genuinely hell. It worsened my mental health, and I would have rather been locked in a padded white room. I had a seizure due to the unsafe handling and quick diagnosing of pills, and was denied the right to go to the hospital, even while the left half of my face went numb, and was having full body tremors. The staff were constantly aggressive and diminishing, and the safety procedures were even worse. I hardly ever saw the therapist my entire stay, and got little to no actual help while here.

Accepted Insurance

Salt Lake Behavioral Health 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.

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 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.
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.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive 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.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically 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

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 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.
seniors-program thumbnail image
Seniors Program
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.
military-program thumbnail image
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).
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 (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 (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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Active addiction can quickly lead to malnutrition. This makes recovery even harder because your body doesn't have the nutrients it needs to function. During nutrition therapy, you'll learn about the effects of substance use on the body, how food can help your mental health, and how to maintain a nutritious diet.

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.

I was in their mental health unit due to a mental health crisis. This is the scariest mental health center I have ever been in/to. Unfortunately, I have had several institutionalizations in my lifetime. This place was scary. The bathroom door is really excessively short and low. Anyone taller than 5'6" can clearly see into your private bathroom. They can literally see you shower. You have to leave your bedroom door open so there is zero privacy in the toilet & shower. I used my toilet and shower and got dressed with the bathroom lights off because it was so bad. That was issue #1.I have some extreme food allergies and am a food controlled diabetic. They couldn't figure out how to check my blood sugar before meals so i could choose foods based on my numbers. This is a life threatening issue. They also couldn't figure out why this would upset me. Issue #2. They also refused to accommodate my food allergies for the first three days i was there. Friday, Saturday, Sunday staff (same ones who couldn't figure out the need for the blood sugar tests) So for the first three days i was there, i basically had yogurt for breakfast & salad for lunch and no dinner because I couldn't safely eat the other menu items because they didn't have anything that I could eat without having an allergic reaction. This was issue #3.The chef who came in on monday was great. He asked what I needed and I sinply requested to have a chiken breast cooked with salt & pepper only. He made sure there was one available for me for lunch and dinner the rest of my stay. This was the one great thing that happened while there. Thank you, my man.I have CPTSD and the staff was having a very difficult time understanding why i couldn't share a room with someone. They sent me into several panic attacks during admission on the floor due to trying to force me into a shared room. The second day they placed another patient in my room and then couldn't understand why i refused to go in there and sleep. I spent most of the night awake on the couch in the day room. I even offered to sleep in the behavior control room. They just kept insisting I had to share a room. This isn't a "too good to share a room issue". I can't share a room and sleep due to the abuse from my childhood. This is issue #4.They have all sorts of patients mixed together in co-ed dorms. Some are mental health patients, some are violent offenders, some are detoxifying . This created a very dangerous situation. Me and several other women were on a list written by a violent sex offender with what horrible fantasies he wanted to act out; complete with murders. (Remember the bathroom doors) Issue #5.They use coercion to get sedation. When that didn't work their psychiatrist purposely incited multiple back to back panic attacks until I threw up and finally agreed to the sedation that he was going to force on me at that point. This is issue #6. This was by far the worst violation of his power. It left me in fear for my safety for my entire stay.If you have a choice, DO NOT GO HERE!

I just went through detox of fentanyl at this facility and I will tell you it may not be the picture perfect scene it's not it's a hospital facility but if I had my choice of a view or the outstanding help the staff at this hospital provided I will choose the help all day long. From tech to lunch lady and everyone in between what an amazing bunch of folks I will be honest I can't remember some of the name but Dr Boz (I think that is how you spell it) the nice Dr from what I believe to be eastern Europe accent sounded that way anyway. and the male nurse when I got there were the most compassionate caring people never say thanks enough. I can't remember the nurses name Mike or something like that I cannot remember. Then the night nurse and weekend. Nurse his name was Sonny what an incredible human being knew how to keep it professional but at the same time had enough empathy and compassion for his job wish the profession had a million of him. And all the techs and other staff yan yan I think her name was a Asian lady really sweet and very helpful. Sorry supposed to be a review not a memoir however if you need help for Fentanyl abuse which I hope you never do this place was above and beyond accommodating and very helpful and class act staff whom I appreciate very much.
