About Volunteers of America, Utah – Men’s Detoxification Center – Salt Lake City

Volunteers of America, Utah – Men’s Detoxification Center is a social model residential facility in Salt Lake City, Utah. You’ll benefit from a safe, stable environment to manage the physical symptoms of withdrawal. They serve men aged 18 or older who are starting their addiction recovery journey.

One of the best features I noticed was their program is very affordable. Depending on bed availability and your eligibility you can stay in their program for free for up to 30 days. They also assist you with applying for Medicaid if you don’t have insurance. For those who don’t qualify they provide a low cost fee.

Many attend detox as a first step in treatment before transitioning to another level of care. Their program provides personalized, non medical detox and withdrawal management. This means you’ll quit substances without medications. You may still have access to medication assisted treatment (MAT) after completing detox to help you sustain recovery.

Another standout feature is they provide trauma informed care. They understand that previous experiences can play a significant role in addiction. You’ll benefit from treatment that accounts for trauma and helps you work through and address triggers.

Along with withdrawal management you’ll have access to multiple services to support your journey. They provide case management, Seeking Safety groups, 12 Step meetings and peer support. They also offer assessments and connect you with ongoing care if you want further treatment.

Previous clients have mixed reviews. Some described their experiences with them as life changing and attribute their success in recovery to their empathetic staff and support. Others mentioned it was difficult to secure a bed. Recovery is a unique, personal experience, so be sure to research multiple facilities to find the best care for you.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

12-Step

12 step programs such as Alcoholics or Narcotics Anonymous are support group style programs for individuals who are experiencing alcohol or substance use disorder. At Evoke they use a holistic model of addiction care that includes using 12 step programs. These programs are an integral part of most relapse prevention plans and provide continued support and accountability that support sobriety.

24-Hour Clinical Care

24 hour clinical care provides close medical supervision for individuals in the early stages of recovery. Medical professionals monitor individuals around the clock for complications and provide immediate intervention when needed.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Medically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Sober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
