Addiction Treatment

What is it?

• Residential addiction treatment is an intensive
  program for those suffering from addiction to a
  harmful substance. As the name implies, this is
  not an outpatient intervention, but an
  intervention which means that patients will live
  at the location of treatment for an extended
  period of time. However, it is important to
  distinguish residential treatment from
  hospitalization, the latter being what patients
  in an acute condition or at risk of harming
  themselves or others should seek.

• Residential addiction treatment begins with
  detoxing the patient so that the problematic
  substance is cleared from their body. Patients
  are monitored by medical professionals and
  treated for withdrawal symptoms. Then the
  patients undergo an individualized plan to help
  them maintain their sobriety in the future. This
  may include therapies such as cognitive-behavioral
  therapy (CBT), family counseling, addiction
  education, and support groups as well as any
  additional medical interventions that may be
  required to help the patient recover.

Who benefits from it?

• Those who stand to benefit the most from
  residential addiction treatment are those for
  whom outpatient intervention has failed, those
  who cannot manage their struggles at home, but do
  not require hospitalization, and those who have
  been hospitalized for addiction recently, and are
  no longer in need of hospital care, but not ready
  to live independently.

Where can one find it?

• Residential addiction treatment centers can be
  found in nearly all metropolitan areas. Salt Lake
  City alone has 145 different locations where
  these services can be sought out. A quick online
  search easily brings up dozens of options.
  However, not all centers are right for every
  patient. The patient and their advocates should
  do ample research to find the Salt Lake City
  location that best meets the needs and situation
  at hand.

How much does it cost?

• The cost of residential addiction treatment in
  Salt Lake City and elsewhere varies widely. Some
  are completely free while others cost thousands
  of dollars per day, with everything in between.
  Again, it is important for each patient to seek
  care with the program best suited to their
  situation. This will include their budget. If
  that budget is low, dont put off treatment. Free
  care is not necessarily worse than care from one
  of the more expensive programs, and whatever it
  may cost or not cost, any program can be
  life-changing for the better. With so many
  options in Salt Lake City, anyone in need of help
  should be able to afford it.
