ABOUT OGDEN REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER – ACT
Nestled in a mountain town known for its ski resorts and sports fishing, the Alcohol and Chemical Treatment Center (ACT) at Ogden Regional Medical Center is one of the oldest alcohol and chemical dependency treatment programs in Utah. Founded in 1973, the facility offers residential and outpatient substance abuse treatment services to adults. Detox is available on-site.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
According to the facility’s website, the treatment center encourages family members to participate in the treatment process. Anyone who is considering treatment is assessed and take part in an in-depth interview.
ACT offers detox to people with withdrawal symptoms, and people who may need 24-hour inpatient medical support. Along with medically monitored detox, the facility offers highly structured inpatient treatment, a day treatment program that allows clients to return home in the evenings, and an eight-week intensive outpatient program (IOP).
The inpatient program is designed for people who need medical stabilization after detox. It is also for people who need an intensive level of care.
Programming is 12-step based and includes group therapy, family education, and relapse prevention workshops. A weekly continuing care program is offered to graduates for up to two years.
