Inpatient Rehab

Inpatient rehab is exactly that, a program where the client resides in the facility for a given period of time while receiving treatment for a drug or alcohol addiction. Several factors help determine the length of an individual’s rehab stint. These include the type of substance, whether there are more than one substance, the severity and history of the addiction, the age of the client, the general health and emotional state, and if there are any co-occurring psychiatric conditions involved.

There are several objectives of an inpatient program:

To detoxify the client from the substance of abuse
To stabilize the client emotionally and physically
To examine the contributing factors to the addiction
To teach clients new coping skills and relapse prevention strategies
To provide a social support system through group therapy and recovery meetings
To provide education about addiction and recovery management

Inpatient Services

To achieve these objectives, the inpatient rehabilitation program will utilized a combination of different therapy formats, such as individual therapy, group therapy, and family therapy. Medication may be prescribed to assist with withdrawal symptoms and to reduce cravings to help prevent relapse. Additional activities that aid in relaxation and stress relief, such as art and music therapy, yoga, guided meditation, and mindfulness training, round out the program.

Outpatient Rehab

As an alternative to inpatient rehab, outpatient treatment can offer more lifestyle flexibility. The client is permitted to stay in their own home outside of treatment hours, which gives them the freedom to continue to engage in the workplace or with schooling. Because the client can continue to earn an income and doesn’t have to pay for room and board, outpatient programs can be far less costly than inpatient programs.

Outpatient rehab is not appropriate for serious addictions with a long history of drug or alcohol use. It is best suited for milder drug or alcohol problems, or as a step down from a completed inpatient program.

Outpatient Services

Treatment elements resemble the inpatient programs, but at a reduced intensity. Each client has a customized treatment plan with specific requirements they are expected to adhere to. The emphasis of outpatient rehabs is on building a social support system through group sessions and 12-step or similar recovery communities, and to provide individuals with support and guidance for continuing sobriety.

Dual Diagnosis Utah Treatment Programs

There is a common connection between mental health disorders and substance use disorders, and they often present as co-occurring conditions. When this is the case, the dual diagnosis patient requires treatment for both the substance use and mental health disorders in order to achieve a successful treatment outcome. Dual diagnosis treatment programs feature the necessary professional expertise to treat patients presenting with both types of disorders, and will have on staff a psychiatrist and a medical doctor who specializes in addiction, in addition to the clinical treatment professionals.

Mental Health Utah Treatment Programs

When mental health conditions become more moderate and severe an inpatient or residential level of care may be the best path of treatment. The inpatient and residential levels of care can provide 24/7 monitoring and support. These levels of care provide direct access to psychiatrists and therapists who will provide a comprehensive treatment plan. A variety of treatment elements often include are one on one therapy, group therapy, management of medications, yoga, meditation, equine therapy, art therapy, music therapy and more.

Treatment Programs for Mental Health Conditions

Mental health disorders impact 43.8 million Americans each year, according to statistics provided by the National Alliance on Mental Illness. While mental health providers have some success treating assorted mood disorders, there are instances when a patient is not experiencing a significant improvement in symptoms and may benefit from more intensive treatment.

Treatment for mental health disorders may have several different clinical settings with varying levels of care. For the most serious psychiatric conditions, such as psychosis, schizophrenia, or someone displaying suicidal actions, a psychiatric hospital offers the individual a safe place free from stress where they will be monitored and stabilized until the crisis passes.

Lower intensity mental health treatment can be found in mental health rehabs that treat depression, anxiety disorders, and eating disorders by augmenting psychotherapy and medication with group therapy, various classes depending on the disorder, family therapy, and holistic activities.
