They have an inpatient adult mental health unit that’s designed for those who need structure and support to overcome anxiety, depression or unstable moods as well as help with suicidal thoughts or after a recent suicide attempt. They use a team of psychological providers, licensed therapists, mental health professionals and registered nurses who use a multidisciplinary treatment approach that addresses each person’s different needs. They mainly use group psychotherapy and individual medication management in a controlled, comfortable and secure environment.
They have a Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU) which is for adults who need a high level of structure to overcome psychosis, aggressive behaviors or mood instability. This is an intensive inpatient treatment program.
They have a Detox and Courage to Change Medicine Program that uses medication and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help recognize the substance abuse cycle and learn strategies for long term recovery. They also have a Courage to Change Addiction Medicine Rehab Program which is a 30 day inpatient rehab program where you’ll have 24/7 nurse supervision and focus on daily recovery through interventions, relapse prevention and addressing trauma.
They have two intensive outpatient programs here, one for adults and another for adolescents. The adult outpatient program is for those who have tried a general outpatient program and didn’t have success. It’s also for people who’ve been hospitalized for any addiction or psychological issue and need added support when they return back to their everyday lives.
The adolescent intensive outpatient program is for people aged 13 to 17. It meets three times per week for three hours per day, to provide in-depth mental health treatment. It runs Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 4-7 pm to accommodate school schedules.
They also have the Strong Hope Military Trauma Program which is a mental health and substance abuse treatment program for members of the military, military families and veterans. It’s an evidence based PTSD treatment protocol focused on combat trauma, military sexual trauma and childhood trauma.
This program is also focused on addiction and those with dual diagnosis, anxiety, depression and other behavioral health issues. They have separate programs for women and men too.
For short term psychiatric programs they accept most major insurances and many Utah Medicaid plans. For the residential or inpatient 30 day addiction program they accept Medicare and TRICARE, and for the military trauma program, they accept TRICARE East, TRICARE West and TRICARE Overseas as well as referrals from your local VA.
