Wasatch Recovery Treatment Center

Alcoholism

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.

Drug Addiction

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.

Dual Diagnosis

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.

Opioid Addiction

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.

Substance Abuse

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is what makes Wasatch Recovery the best place to seek lasting recovery and healing. This type of therapy is typically a one-on-one approach that includes a therapist designing a recovery plan for the patient or their loved one. Their custom recovery plan is determined by what the therapist uses to accompany the therapy sessions that the patient will participate in. These sessions become a time for the therapist to understand the patient or their loved one to better assist in understanding addiction and how to overcome it. CBT does not have a distinct definition because of the diverse therapeutic techniques used. Some of the therapies that fall under CBT are: Rational Behavior Therapy, Rational Emotive Therapy, Rational Living Therapy, Cognitive Therapy, and Dialectic Behavioral Therapy. All of these therapies are based on the cognitive models and trends in relationship to emotional response.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

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.

Group Therapy

The majority of each client’s structured treatment time is spent in daily group therapy and psycho-educational classes. Groups are limited to a maximum of 16 clients and are conducted by a licensed clinician. These groups allow clients to address specific issues related to their substance abuse and its consequences. In group therapy, clients learn to elicit social support, develop interpersonal relationships, and give and receive feedback from their peers. Wasatch Recovery counselors use group techniques from a variety of sources including Rational-Emotive Behavioral Therapy, cognitive restructuring and re-framing, and psycho-education.

Individual Therapy

Individual counseling will happen as per assessment needs. All residents will receive Individual treatment while at Wasatch Recovery. This treatment gives the residents time to address individual issues in a more confidential atmosphere where very personal issues can be addressed in safety.

Motivational Interviewing

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.

Trauma Therapy

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.

Couples Therapy

Couples at any stage of their relationship may benefit from couples therapy in Utah. It is designed to keep relationships on the right path by teaching both partners healthy forms of communication and conflict resolution.

Family Therapy

Family therapists work with all members of the family unit to understand the impact that addiction has had on the family collectively and individually. Together they develop strategies to help their loved one recover. The therapist facilitates open discussions between family members to help build resilience and improve interactions. Ultimately, this supports their loved one's path to sobriety.

Life Skills

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.

Nutritional Therapy

Recreational Therapy

Recreational therapy helps you in your addiction recovery program by improving your overall well being. Activities can include sports, music, and nature excursions that give you positive experiences, reduce your cravings, and offer the opportunity to reduce your stress. These aid in your addiction recovery.
