ABOUT INTERMOUNTAIN LDS HOSPITAL – DAYSPRING PROGRAMS
Intermountain LDS Hospital – Dayspring Programs in Salt Lake City, Utah offers a comprehensive, hospital-based continuum of care for individuals seeking treatment for chemical dependency. The facility offers a partial hospitalization program (PHP), an intensive outpatient program (IOP), and an aftercare program.
Detox is available on site.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Upon admission to Intermountain LDS Hospital – Dayspring Programs, clients meet with a clinician for an initial biopsychosocial assessment, which helps determine a diagnosis and appropriate treatment approach. Clients in need of stabilization are admitted to the detox program. After detox, clients are enrolled in the outpatient services that best fit their needs.
The Dayspring Program may utilize medication-assisted therapy such as Suboxone, Vivitrol, Campral, and Antabuse to minimize withdrawal symptoms and help curb cravings. The Dayspring Program combines evidence-based treatment methods with 12-step philosophies and practices. Once a detox completes the detox phase of treatment, patients receive a range of rehabilitative programming, which provides the tools necessary for a lasting recovery.
During PHP or IOP, patients participate in individual and group counseling sessions. They also participate in educational workshops that may focus on coping skills, the biological and psychiatric effects of addiction, and relapse prevention techniques. During treatment, patients are expected to attend 12-step meetings of their choice within the community.
Family participation in treatment is encouraged at every step. Family members can attend family therapy and education sessions with clients. Family sessions are held on Monday and Thursday evenings.
Aftercare services include counseling groups and planning services. Clients work with counselors to develop an effective aftercare plan including connecting with community-based support programs. Aftercare groups are held each Tuesday and Wednesday evening.
