There’s a day school that runs from 8am to 5pm on weekdays that teaches life skills to prepare you to fully transition back into your community. Breakfast and lunch are provided.

As I sit here (41 yrs old) watching a documentary called "The Program" I am reminded of the times I was locked in facilities like Youth Care. I was 12 years old and struggling with depression and issues dumped on me by my parents at too young of an age. While at this facility we were transported to UNI for AA and NA. During one of these visits I was touched by another person inappropriately and told a staff member when we returned and I felt it was safe to do so. I got a demerit and dropped levels because I didn't stand up in the meeting and immediately make a huge scene. I was scared.I was also locked in one of the rooms when you loose control, because I did after a male staff member (who used to play soccer with us) was being inappropriate as well, so I made I scene this time...the room was all bricks, no padding and covered with blood, boogers, and a fingernail was stuck to the wall...The pictures of the bedrooms bring back flashbacks of the anorexic girl still working out and hiding her workouts from staff, and other interesting nights. I don't think I would have made it through without the other Lacy from vegas.I'm just glad my mom's insurance ran out when it did.As a parent now, I will always trust my kids and never let an adult tell me not to trust them. I don't know how my mom just let them throw me in there and only talk once in a while. screw the point system!!!

Terrible experience! It was a waste of my insurance benefits and my daughter didn't get the help she needed. Not only did she not get the help she needed but we didn't get discharge planning help either. I was told it was my responsibility to set that up! I tried to get aftercare set up 2 months before my daughter was discharged and NOTHING came of it. My daughter has been discharged over a week and she has been discharged with no therapy, no med provider, NOTHING!!!Terrible communication, terrible treatment, this place is only in it for the money. Some staff are truly in it for the care of the kids but other than that, don't take your kiddos there! I was told by someone in the office regarding after care "shoulda, woulda, coulda." I would have my daughters therapist state- well we know how so so is (talking about my daughter) and how dramatic she is! Yes, i do know how she is, that's why i trusted you and your center to get her the the therapeutic help she needs! not belittle her to my face. I could never get a call back from the med provider to discuss medication options. Horrible, horrible, horrible. Would give them negative stars if i could.

Accepted Insurance

Youth Care Treatment Center 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.

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 rehab programs enable clients to integrate addiction treatment with their routine work and home life. Many facilities offer virtual services and evening, night, and weekend sessions to accommodate clients' schedules. Outpatient care typically includes rigorous psychotherapy, including group and family counseling. Most programs also prioritize addiction education and recovery-focused life skills training. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is common for clients with alcohol and/or opioid dependency.
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.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Clients receiving services in a rehab aftercare program have generally been stable and sober for a period of weeks and months and no longer require high intensity treatment. Many have stepped down from inpatient rehab to outpatient treatment. Others have been discharged from formal treatment but need support in maintaining their sobriety. Clients typically work with their case manager and care team to develop a long-term care plan that aligns with their unique needs and goals.
12-step icon12-Step
Participants in 12 step programs engage in rigorous group counseling, peer coaching, and personal development. Though 12 step recovery is rooted in spiritual principles, religious affiliation is not mandatory. The steps model promotes participants' emotional and psychological healing, which is presumed integral to sustained sobriety. Regular attendance at group meetings is expected. These meetings are free, anonymous, peer-led, and accessible day and night in most communities. Gender and age-specific programs and other specialized formats are common.
sober-living iconSober Living Homes
Each sober living home in Utah is a residence, not a treatment center. This setting does not provide clinical or medical treatment, but many residents attend recovery groups or outpatient rehab while staying at the home. The setting, also called a halfway house, offers a balance between structure and accountability and living in the "real world," to help people transition from treatment to everyday life.
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
If your friend or family member is suffering physically or psychologically from substance use but denies there is a problem, it might be time for a drug intervention in Utah. This process involves meeting with an intervention specialist from a facility's intervention services program. This specialist will interview family members to gain an understanding of the situation, then facilitate the intervention. Their expertise can prove invaluable in navigating this complex confrontation.
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
In order to ensure your safety during the withdrawal process, rehabs offer 24-hour clinical care in Utah. You have access to experienced medical staff around the clock, and they can adminsiter treatments or perform clincial interventions that lessen withdrawal symptoms and make you more comfortable. Teatments can include medications, nutritional supplements, and mental health counseling.
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

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
hiv-aids-program thumbnail image
HIV/AIDS Program
HIV/AIDS programs support disease prevention and management in high-risk individuals in recovery. Individuals who engage in intravenous drug use and other addictive behaviors are at a higher risk of becoming infected with HIV. Rehab centers that specialize in treating this population typically have a high number of nurses, physicians, and psychiatrists on staff who can make sure both their medical and mental health needs are met.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

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.

The foundation of motivational interviewing in Utah rests on four pillars: partnership, evocation, acceptance, and compassion. The therapist collaborates with the client, encouraging them to explore their options and make informed decisions about making changes in their lives.

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 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.

EMDR is a therapeutic modality originally developed to help process trauma. In an EMDR session, a patient is prompted to undergo eye movements that mimic those of REM sleep. This is accomplished by watching a therapist's finger move back and forth across, or following a bar of light. The goal is repetitive sets of eye movements that help the brain reprocess memory, which can significantly reduce the intensity of remembered traumatic incidents. Associated memories can heal simultaneously, leaving patients significantly calmer, more stable, and more emotionally relaxed.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Like many parents, my husband and I were desperate to find help for our troubled teen, but Youth Care was not the answer. My son was at Youth Care for 6? Months when he was 16 and eight years later, he still struggles with PTSD from his experience there. It is easy to feel that troubled teens are not reliable sources, so I didn t give enough credibility to what my son told us at the time. Now that he is more stable and with the hindsight of eight years, I understand better what went on at Youth Care and feel it is important to share this information.Restraints used on students often injured the students wrists, with either no or inadequate medical follow up. My son witnessed inappropriate touching by staff toward students, with no repercussions to the staff member. Education often consisted of meaningless work sheets, which were also used for punishment. Utah law requires that students have at least 10 minutes of outdoor time every day, but weeks and months went by without any outdoor time at all. This was blamed on staffing shortages (this is pre-pandemic), though staffing decisions sometimes meant one house had a lot of staff and others were short staffed. This lack of outdoor time (which has been important to my son s well being since infancy) contributed to long term ptsd which led to his living on the streets for a time due to a fear of being trapped indoors.Youth Care stresses personal responsibility, which sounds great, but in my son s time there, the reality was that students were expected to take responsibility for their diagnoses, whether or not they were actually responsible, including things like having been sexually abused. I understand that the idea was that the students would take responsibility for their actions after the abuse, but the system reinforced survivors feelings of guilt and responsibility about the abuse itself rather than giving them tools to deal with aftermath of the abuse. The point system used to promote personal responsibility was punitive, rather than therapeutic, and encouraged students to work against each other. Students were required to inform on other students if they saw a rules infraction. If staff felt there wasn t enough informing happening, students had to make things up to meet staff expectations. One friend of my son s who did make it through all the levels, was required to write a list of all the mistakes she d ever made in her life. It had to be a certain number of pages (about 14 pages, front and back) so when she couldn t fill it up with actual mistakes, she had to make things up In order to meet the requirements. When there was a rules infractions the punishment was usually disproportionate to the infraction. Refocus and isolation were common punishments. My son was held in isolation for longer than what was allowed by law and when he pointed that out to staff, they manufactured a reason to keep him longer.I wish I had known all this at the time; we would have taken our son out of the program sooner. The phone calls we had with our son partially reassured us that things were okay. Now we know that staff were listening in on every phone call and if our son had said anything negative about the program, they would have ended the call. Youth Care is a for profit enterprise, which may account for the short staffing mentioned above and their use of student labor for cleaning. Most of all, for profit status incentives Youth Care s keeping students as long as they can over providing meaningful therapeutic care.There were some good therapists and staff who really cared about the students at Youth Care, accounting for my two star review, instead of one.

Do NOT send your children here! Staff are permitted to BREAK WRISTS during restraints. During my stay at YouthCare of Utah several years ago I knew a 15 year old with both wrists broken for defiance as well as several others with severe sprains and fractures from the Gooseneck Holds. There has to be a better way. If you, as a team of multiple grown adults, cannot handle a CHILDS TANTRUM you should NOT be allowed to ABUSE said child.

I was there got my wrist broken and they did.not send me to the hospital to get a x-ray for 2 weeks they also have the worst education I have ever seen. It s like stuff you learn in prison when you are locked up for murder and you want to kill time by learning nothing. Being here and missing 8th grade made my transition into high school really hard for me to make friends and stuff. I ve got over it 100% but it s just to show you how bad this place is. I did get away with a lot cause I was cool with a lot of the staff and just kept it 100% with them at all times so I never really got yelled at other then my wrist being broken.But I do remember not being able to go to the kitchen to get a cup of water and asking a staff member can I please sit in this chair like whatttt I m going to sit wherever I want to sit it s just horrible what they do. The therapy also here sucks looking back 7 years and really growing up holding a full time job, having other therapists in the past and stuff. Just a horrible place. Schedule: wake up at 7:30-8am8:00 am eat breakfast8:30 go to school 9:00 be in school until like 5:00 or whatever6:00 deep clean the house and wipe down toilet seats that other kids sit on and stuff. Just absolutely gross8:30 go to bed.I had to repeat that everyday for 6 monthsYou can t even watch tv.Some of the staff were cool but I still talk to a few old ones and stuff and they say this place is the most messed up place they have ever worked at. So if you are a parent just think of that for realAnd whoever is struggling just realize everything will get better over time. Just be healthy go outside, learn something new everyday, and be with the ones who matter most to you in your life like family and friends. You don t need to be in a place like this I could have been there for 3 days went home and just stopped my young stupid kid behavior back in the day lolPeace out

I was there 2 years ago. The staff would constantly burn the food. Several times we woke up to the fire alarm going off. The staff did not care about being careful with their restraints. I witnessed several kids get slammed to the concrete and thrown against walls. A kid there had appendicitis and had surgery and came back the same day she had her surgery. A staff member slammed the same girl against a brick wall breaking her arm. I was exposed to way too many people who shouldn't have been there. I was fearing for my life many times there.

My story with Youth Care is not over yet. When I was 16 I was admitted to this facility for 10 months. During this time, I experienced physical, verbal, emotional, and sexual abuse. I spoke out about this abuse incessantly, and each time, the claims were pushed under the rug. I have been speaking with a detective on my claims, and there is an investigation going on about this facility as well as other Acadia facilities. As I become an adult, this trauma has affected my day-to-day life. I will be pressing charges against Acadia Healthcare, expecting compensation for the abuse. With all of this being said, all of the changes that this facility NEEDS to make, I do believe there is hope for facilities like this. The therapy was absolutely wonderful. My therapist was an intern named Kristen, who changed my life. I also think the constant "process groups" for hours every week really did a lot of good for me.

I am very thankful and happy for the support my son received at Youth Care. His therapist Jake was outstanding and connected with him right from the start. While no parent wants to be in a situation where their child has to receive this kind of treatment, I am grateful that a place like Youth Care exists. He made great progress while he was in the program and is now doing much better.
