ABOUT UTAH ADDICTION CENTERS
Set in a large two-floor ranch style house surrounded by fields, lakes, and mountains located in Eagle Mountain, Utah, Utah Addiction Centers (UAC) in Eagle Mountain is a multi-disorder treatment center providing inpatient (IP) residential treatment, outpatient (OP) treatment, and day treatment. The center specializes in addiction treatment, treats co-occurring disorders, and offers detox.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
UAC therapists first create a detailed treatment plan for clients by looking at client medical, mental, and social health history, including life and family history. Possible treatments include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and equine therapy. Family therapy is considered a crucial component of treatment.
In the 30-day primary care program, clients undergo psychological testing, stabilize themselves, and create a care plan with UAC’s staff. In the extended care program, clients address deep-seated problems and begin the transition from residential living into outpatient and aftercare. Length is determined by the clients. An average client’s schedule includes nine mental health therapy groups, nine behavioral process groups, 23 education groups, and one to three individual sessions.
In the aftercare program, clients can join alumni support groups, anytime group sessions for life at no additional charge, and continued individual therapy with their primary therapists. UAC recommends clients participate in the program for at least a year, which will also track attendance at 12-step meetings and involve ongoing communication through phone calls and text messages.
STAFF CREDENTIALS
UAC’s founder is a clinical therapist, the medical supervisor holds a medical degree and has won awards for his treatment methods, and the clinical supervisor is a licensed clinical social worker (LSCW). Clients are routinely treated by Masters level therapists, addiction specialists, clinical psychologists, and other behavioral health professionals.
