Accepted Insurance

Utah State Hospital 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

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.

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.

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

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.

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
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
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

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.

I went here and I absolutely hate the place, people where strict only allowing 4 people per table splitting up me and my friends, wouldn t let us hug or say goodbye when we left or when others where leaving the food made me sick and I told them that I was sick and shouldn t be walking around but they sent me to the cafeteria anyways where I threw up in a trash can. But there was one therapist who was the best I have met, we talked about cars a lot because we are both car guys and we are both part of lgbtq+ along with a few other staff I really liked. Over all don t go here if you have a choice

The people who says this place gets people better are either lying or speaking for themselves. The Utah State authorities forced me to go here during 2014 to 2015 for anger management. The problem was I was bullied by other patients and staff. Whenever I got mad the staff bullied me more and raised their voice at me and made me more mad. Then they had there hired punks called the security guards to slam me down on the ground on my face. Which, violated my human rights! This whole disgrace of a hospital was a violation of human rights! I demand an apology from this place! I'm more psychologically traumatized from Utah State Hospital than before I got admitted and it's everyone who ran Utah State Hospital's fault!Reply To An Account Named "Agony of Agonies": I gave Utah State Hospital a low rating because I genuinely had a bad experience & the rules were too hard for me to follow because they piss me off & some of the the psych techs bullied me. I can hate Utah State Hospital if I want because I'm entitled to how I feel about this mental facility wasting my time & giving me harsh treatment. Does Utah State Hospital work for some people? Okay, other people can like or love Utah State Hospital if they want to because they are entitled to how they feel too & they can't think for themselves. "Agony of Agonies" don't deny that I & some other people suffered in Utah State Hospital & shut up!Update 12-4-2024: Yeah, I'm still pissed off that I had been a patient in Utah State Hospital because forced confinement is not good for my self-esteem at the time of September 2014-October 2015 because I felt like I was unworthy to society & people hate me & discriminate against me or something. If someone has never been a patient to Utah State Hospital before & they were forced to be confined there they will probably think that is unfair & also there is a stigma against people who are in mental hospitals & they get made fun of if anybody finds out, some people won't make fun of you for being a former mental patient though because they are nice enough to understand Utah has a bad mental health crisis, but my life is ruined by Utah State Hospital because of my PTSD from getting bullied in there.

When compared to other behavioral health facilities, this place can actually help, rather than simply being expensive cells like the others.The low ratings from others is because they had a bad experience, but I promise that they are exaggerating. If you obey the rules of the unit, you ll have a far better chance of experiencing some healing.

I was a patient there from September 2023 to August 2024, I had a lot of rough moments and moments were I didn't really like the place nor the treatment team, mainly because I was passed off that I was there, but as time progressed and I actually started participating in my treatment IT helped me a lot. Thanks to the amazing staff, treatment team, school staff and my peers I made lots of memories, some better than others. There are still things I don't like about my experience and some of the staff, but it has helped me a lot. I have been out for almost 2 weeks and I am doing great!

If I could give this place less stars I would. I was unfortunately a child in the Utah state foster care system in the 1980 s and was an unfortunate captive of this institution. The staff were extremely abusive and one staff member went to prison long after I left. I was under the impression this facility had closed down and the abuse I had witnessed and endured had ended. I am shocked it is still open today.

I was a patient here for over a year when I was 15-16. It was hard at first and I wasn't accepting of a lot of the methods of treatment at first. My first half of my stay was hard and I got worse mentally by my own volition, and misjudgements induced by my mental illnesses. I eventually learned mindfulness here in a class and it is what completely changed my life around. I ended up loving it here mostly my last half and have very fond and great memories and I will always appreciate what the staff, doctors, school teachers, and therapists did for me!

I was a patient for two weeks at this hospital when I was 12, and it was completely miserable.The other young women there were threatening and aggressive(the staff did nothing about this), they gave me incorrect medication that led to a two hour psychological and physical nightmare, and the staff were unapathetic, absent, hypocritical, and sometimes downright rude.We were allowed outside once during my stay, and got to do one physical activity, which was volleyball in a barren, depressing room.They made me feel degraded, alone, and worse than anything that was already ailing me.I pray that this place has improved since my stay, but I'd still like to warn anyone considering sending your children or yourself here.
