Outpatient Substance Abuse Treatment
Substance abuse is a major socio-economical issue that affects nearly every community in the United States.  In the past there have only been inpatient detox centers around the country available to help in the treatment of individuals suffering from substance abuse.  In the last few years research has provided new treatments for substance abuse that are available in an outpatient setting.

The staff at Integrated Healing Arts-Utah offers discrete, safe, and closely monitored outpatient substance abuse and relapse prevention treatment.  As with the other conditions that we treat, we emphasize the mind-body-spirit connection.  We recognize the biological, psychological, spiritual toll addictions have on the patient as well as their loved ones and work to help healing in all these aspects on the road to recovery.

Our staff works together as a team to facilitate each client’s recovery from substance abuse.  We combine a variety of conventional and complementary approaches, tailored to meet the needs of each client.  Our integrative approach is enriched by the diverse medical training and background of our providers.

The outpatient substance abuse treatment available here at Integrated Healing Arts-Utah begins with an initial medical assessment to determine which treatment options would be best.  It is usually beneficial to have family members and/or significant others involved at this stage.  The treatment recommendations may include a referral to an inpatient treatment program or detox facility if felt to be necessary.  Generally we will attempt to facilitate recovery in the outpatient environment as we feel this is most beneficial in the recovery process for individuals.  We may suggest further medical evaluation also as appropriate and needed along with a full psychiatric or psychological evaluation.

The treatment plan will be developed by our team which will involve our physicians and often a psychologist or others as appropriate.  Clients are then scheduled for drug or alcohol detoxification and medical management as appropriate.  This is done in our comfortable office, usually in one of the rooms with a stunning view of Mount Timpanogos.  

A client may choose to engage in optional treatment modalities during and after their substance abuse treatment.  Other optional treatments available at Integrated Healing Arts-Utah:
