TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Opioid treatment at the Bountiful clinic takes place in a few distinct phases: intake, induction, and maintenance. Appointments must be scheduled first.
At intake, clients meet with their physician-led team to develop personalized treatment and counseling plans. Different treatment options are discussed and any questions on the process are answered by doctor, nurse, and counselor.
In the induction phase, typically a few weeks in length, clients are monitored regularly to ensure that their medication is working optimally. They will also meet with their counselor to set goals and make necessary adjustments to their recovery plan.
The third and final phase is one of ongoing maintenance. As they reach an achievable level of steadiness and stabilization, clients continue meeting with their counselor and begin attending therapy and family groups. Work and relationships are just two of the many areas where clients and their families may see immediate improvement and healing.

The New Seasons treatment team consists of a program director, physician, counselors, a pharmacist, and nurses.
