Drug Rehab Centers in Draper, Utah

My child spent several months at YouthCare, about five years ago. I was terrified for them, because I kept seeing frightening reviews as well as really good ones and didn't know who to believe. I even went to visit after their first few weeks, and insisted on having an absolutely private conversation with my child, so they could be frank with me about whether or not they were being treated badly. I was prepared to bring them home, if they gave me reason for concern. I was relieved to be told, cautiously, that although the work was hard and they didn't necessarily like the place, my kid felt that it was doing what they needed a residential treatment center to do. They asked me to leave them there to finish the work they needed to do, and with a glad heart, I did.Six months later, I did bring them home... in triumph, and with the joyful support of the staff. They had made a commitment to take suicide off the table, even when they might feel like it, and they were well on their way to gaining control over their self-harm urges. They had a full tool box of coping tools for when they had a tough time, and they were miles more healthy than when they had begun at YC.My kid now does outpatient therapy twice a week. They have remained stable in their commitment to stay alive, and even found that much of the time, they genuinely *want* to live. They're taking their GED this winter, and plan to get a job in a retail store run by family as their next step. They're making progress, slow but steady, and the learning they did at YC is an enormous part of the foundation for that progress.I will forever be grateful that I was brave enough to risk sending my child to YC and that they were brave enough to tell me that they should stay. When they went to YC, my child was helplessly in the grasp of feelings they did not understand and could not control. When strong feelings come now, they are skilled and confident in how they can handle them.Many thanks to YC and all the skilled and caring staff who make it what it is.I do want to add something that my child said, which I believe is important for anyone considering residential treatment (for themself or their child) to understand:"Any residential treatment is going to cause trauma. That doesn't mean it's a bad place, nor that it isn't necessary. It just means that the way you have to live in a residential treatment center is going to cause trauma as well as help to heal it. Expect that you will later have to do the healing from your residential treatment as part of your eventual treatment process. That's not a reason to avoid doing residential if you need it. It's just part of the deal, the same way surgery to stop internal bleeding will have to include making a cut that also, in itself, bleeds. So the surgery makes you recover from the original wound and then you also have to recover from the wound made by the surgery. That doesn't mean you don't get surgery because you've heard that it cuts into you."So be aware. Any residential center will leave some trauma behind. That includes YouthCare. Doesn't mean they're a bad place. It means residential is a really hard thing to have to do, and like surgery, you only go through it if you really need it.

I am both stubborn and resistant, which has proved to be a dangerous and difficult combination for my healing process. For me, I might have had a different experience than most as I was discharged early from residential. I had some of my best and worst days here all within my stay, yet I will never take back the fact that I went for treatment. It was life changing, and I wish I could express the change I understood, felt, and even showed. Deer Hollow will forever have a place in my heart, and I wouldn't take back my stay and treatment for anything in the world. I met one of the best therapists I have ever had here. And even though our journey was short, I hope that one day I will be able to show how much of an impact both he and Deer Hollow had on me. Some of my favorite memories are from here. Thank you, Deer Hollow, for helping me when I thought that all of my options had been explored. I found hope here, for the first time in my life.

I learned coping skills that I never thought even existed and I was able to learn how to connect with people and communicate in effective manners. I also learned about resources that I can use when I am outside of Annie's house as well and I learned it all at annie's

When wanting to make positive changes in your life there is such a mental part involved to moving forward in that direction. When this change is ready to happen in you, you need to have the right tools to make those changes a reality. I have been so impressed with Corner Canyon. They have these tools in place for your change to happen. They have staff ready that engage with you every step of the way. They understand your individual situation as and they have the programs in place to create the positive changes you desire. As I watched my closest friend transform this last year and today celebrate her one year of success I saw that her desire with the support of this facility made all the difference.She understands the steps its going to take to fight her demons and she still meets regularly with one of the most amazing sponsors to keep her on that path of recovery. Thanks for letting me take this journey with her and Thank you for pushing her the right amount to see her true potential
