Drug Rehab for Utah
ON THIS PAGE
Utah is a beautiful and varied state, with landscapes ranging from the barren white of the Bonneville Salt Flats to the alpine ski resorts of Park City. Most of the population in Utah stretches along the I-15 corridor, from Provo in the south to Logan in the north. Rehab centers are clustered in the same stretch. About 12,000 people go to treatment each year, but the available centers can’t contain the 158,000 Utahns need actually help for substance abuse or addiction.
While youth in Utah have slightly lower rates of drug abuse than the national average, adults in the state use drugs slightly more often. This is why access to the Narconon drug rehab program in nearby states is so valuable. Just a short distance away in Ft. Collins, Narconon Colorado helps bring individuals back to health and life in this drug-free, residential program. A short flight away in Southeastern Oklahoma, the Narconon Arrowhead facility opens its doors to residents of all states who wish to reclaim their lives.
Drug-Free Recovery for Drug-Free Lives
At these locations and dozens of others around the world, the Narconon drug rehab program helps the addicted forge new, sober lives for themselves. On average, this transformation takes eight to ten weeks. A big advantage of the Narconon rehab program is that if a person needs longer to truly make this transition, there is no additional charge. The most important thing is that the individual learns how to retain his sobriety when he goes home.
From Detoxification to Competency in Life
The range of the Narconon program reaches from the initial withdrawal and detoxification steps at the beginning to life skill training at the end.
When one arrives at a Narconon center they then begin the drug-free withdrawal, which utilizes nutritional supplements and special physical techniques and reorientation exercises to help ease the pain and discomfort of withdrawal. In the case where a medical step down is required, we work with medical detox services so the individual can be weaned down prior to starting the Narconon drug-free withdrawal.
New Life Detoxification
This detox step is unlike anything you will find in other rehabs or medical detoxes. This one uses three elements—Scandinavian-type saunas, nutritional supplements, and exercise—to activate the body’s ability to clean out old, stored drug residues.
When a person uses drugs, their body breaks down the substances so they can be eliminated. Some residues remain, however, and have been found to affect thinking and one’s general outlook on life. What is very clear is what happens when these residues are gone: Those completing this step talk about how clear and fast their thinking is, how much more energy they have and how they now have better, brighter outlooks.
These changes set them up perfectly for the improvements to follow.
Gaining a More Objective Grasp of Life
Anyone around an addicted person knows that life looks dim to that person. There may be a lot of accidents, breakage, and messes. Bringing a person out of this fog happens on a step of the Narconon program called the objectives. This is where a person learns to relate clearly and immediately with his surroundings. His thoughts and emotions come under his control again. He can carry out choices based on his own decisions, not based on cravings, guilt, and worries.
His environment becomes brighter too, as his clearer perceptions return. This is a vital step for anyone suffering the dulling after-effects of lengthy drug or alcohol use.
Regaining Sober Living Skills
Now, a person must learn how to choose safe associates, protect his integrity and values and resolve conflicts, problems, and damaged relationships. First comes an education in basic concepts. Then, each person practices using these concepts to make improvements. Practice is important because these skills must sustain a person’s sobriety after they go home.
At the end, each person works out how he (or she) will use these skills to restore his affinity and position at home, at work, and in the community. When this extended repair is complete, he has truly recovered from the damage and pain of the past.

Utah’s New Alcohol Legislation Makes Headlines
In 2017, Utah’s Governor made headlines by signing a new law that dropped the legal limit for driving to a blood alcohol concentration of .05%. In the rest of the country, the limit is .08% but .05% is common in Europe. With this limit, an average-sized woman would be legally impaired after just two drinks in one hour. An average-sized man would not be able to drink three drinks in that hour and legally drive.
Opioid (synthetic painkillers) and heroin use are high in Salt Lake City, but overdoses are more than twice as high in rural Carbon County. There’s not much in the county besides coal mining and Utah State University, but that means there’s not a lot of employment either. Those who find work in the mine may suffer injuries and rely on painkillers to help them get back to work and keep their job. As a result, there’s plenty of pills circulating in this community and that attracts heroin dealers who want to make a buck. As a result, half the emergency room visits in Carbon County are drug-related.
With access to Narconon Colorado and Narconon Arrowhead in Oklahoma, any Utahn can see a new, sober future ahead. Call Narconon International today and learn more about this drug-free program. Your loved one could be on their way to a new sober future in just a few days.
