Drug and alcohol addiction is something that affects everybody in this country in some way. Addictions have an impact on every level of society, from the affected individuals to their families, from the criminal justice system to the health care system, and from loss of production to loss of jobs. Meanwhile, it is important to understand that addiction is not a life choice. Rather, it is a chronic mental illness that requires continuous treatment and management. There is, thankfully, an increased understanding of this, which has led to public health officials in Provo, UT, to put systems in place to increase awareness of and access to adequate treatment facilities.

Getting Help for a Drug or Alcohol Problem in Provo, UT

There are some significant challenges to get people in Provo into treatment. The first difficulty is that people with an addiction are generally in strong denial about their situation. The secondary issue in Utah is that so many people are members of the Church of the Latter Day Saints, in which any type of substance abuse is not tolerated. This makes it even more difficult to identify those people who need help and to put an intervention in place to get them into treatment.

In most cases, therefore, those who do seek treatment do so because they have been ordered by the drug court. At that point, they will start with a period of detox, which is when their body becomes clean from their chosen substance. This is accompanied by significant withdrawal symptoms and should therefore be medically supported at all times.

After detox, patients will enter rehab, which is offered on either an outpatient or an inpatient basis. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is important to work with the individual to identify the method that will work best. During rehab, people take part in individual and group therapy. Where appropriate, family therapy is also offered, but this is often unsuccessful in Utah due to the aforementioned stigma associated with substance abuse within the Mormon church.

After rehab, patients must be provided with aftercare. This will ensure that they can return to the "real world" and become productive members of society. Aftercare can include such things as a continuation of therapy, sober living facilities, 12 step programs, drug testing, and more.
