Are you looking for a good residential drug treatment program? Whether you want help for yourself or a loved one, Alpine Recovery Lodge provides the inpatient treatment that anyone addicted to drugs or alcohol needs to get better.
While many of us wish it were easier to detox from drugs or alcohol, the truth is that it can be extremely challenging. If it wasn’t, many people would succeed on their own when they tried to cut down or quit. These substances work inside our brain — in our reward system and the pain and pleasure areas — so that we eventually form a dependence on drugs or alcohol. Just because not everyone becomes addicted does not mean you are weak or that there is something wrong with you. And it also doesn’t mean you can’t conquer your addiction to drugs or alcohol. We know you can, because we see people do it every day.
Regardless of whether you are addicted to drugs or alcohol — or both — the first step in beating your addiction is detox. You must rid yourself of the substances that have been controlling your life and causing you so much misery. We mentioned earlier that this stage can be difficult, but it’s easier when you are in a residential drug treatment center, because you have support staff available to you 24 hours a day. We are knowledgeable professionals who have seen countless others through drug and alcohol rehabilitation, and you can count on us.
Depending on the substance you are detoxing from, you may benefit from prescription medication. What makes Alpine Recovery Lodge different from other residential drug and alcohol rehab facilities is that we have a medical doctor on staff to help oversee your detox. Detox is frequently accompanied by sweating, nervousness, heart palpitations, panic attacks and other symptoms. Having a medical doctor on hand to ensure you are not suffering a heart attack or other medical emergency is enormously reassuring.
Additionally, if you are detoxing from a substance that may cause physical symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, muscle pain or seizures, our medical doctor can prescribe medication to ease your discomfort. Many of our clients wish to detox without the help of prescriptions, but with some drugs such as opioids, benzodiazepines, heroin and fentanyl, physical symptoms justify the use of medication. Still, we do not require anyone to take prescriptions that are not medically necessary.
You may have had therapy before — individual therapy or marriage counseling. It’s helpful, but it’s not always curative. There are a number of reasons for that, many of them individual and difficult to pinpoint. Our area of expertise is drug and alcohol rehab, and we know that with serious, long-term addictions, a residential rehab program gives you the best chance at success. That’s because it’s intensive — you will attend several therapy sessions per day during your stay here, some individual, some group and some family.
Individual therapy is critical to understanding your motivations to use drugs or alcohol. It is during these therapy sessions you might receive a dual diagnosis — an underlying mental health condition that is linked to your drug or alcohol use. Treating this underlying condition — whether it’s depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD or another condition — may be pivotal to your recovery.
Group therapy is rarely found on the outside of a residential rehab center, but it’s an essential part of recovery. Group therapy is where you meet others just like yourself — people who are addicted to drugs or alcohol and have lost control of their lives. You’ll learn they are people just like anyone — just like you — and no one here is bad, weak or immoral. In fact, they are brave — brave enough to seek help at a residential drug and alcohol treatment center.
Family therapy helps you repair the relationships that have suffered due to your drug or alcohol addiction. It is in these sessions that you and your family will practice honesty, contrition, forgiveness and optimism for the future.
We also encourage clients at our inpatient treatment program to participate in experiential therapy. Sometimes creating art, playing music or journaling can help put you in touch with emotions, feelings or even traumas you didn’t realize were affecting your daily life. Learning to express yourself through healing arts is a useful skill you can always rely on.
Once you complete our residential rehab program, you will move a step down to day treatment, also known as PHP. This step is an important achievement, because at this stage, you will be able to leave the facility every day and return home to your family. During this time, you will continue to receive support from our medical and counseling staff, and you will also work with your case manager on your transition back to regular life.
The final step in the program is IOP or intensive outpatient treatment. Here, you will continue to attend programming sessions and receive support, but on a less-frequent basis. You will come to the alcohol and drug treatment programs for fewer hours per day, and you will gradually reduce the number of days per week that you come until you are ready to graduate from our residential rehab facility.
We chose Alpine, Utah, for our residential rehabilitation center because of its awe-inspiring surroundings. Our well-appointed lodge is set right at the foot of the Wasatch Mountains, among leafy maples, towering oaks and fragrant pines. Our clients derive strength from nature, its beauty and motivational powers. We encourage you to walk outside, feel the grass between your toes, stretch out on a hammock and look up at the blue sky. Nature is healing.
Part of your healing process includes putting good things into your body. Our chef works hard creating delicious, nutritious meals for our residential rehab clients — meals that nourish you and help your strength to return. We stress the importance of meal planning and healthy choices when you graduate from our inpatient rehab program because it will help you stay strong and resist temptation.
Our residential drug and alcohol addiction treatment facility is staffed with professionals — people who know how to help you and who care about you enough to sit with you through the hard times. Detox and rehab are difficult and they’re emotional. You will always remember who was there for you and how they helped you get clean. If you’re still on the fence, you can talk to us on the phone or meet with us without commitment. We want you to see that your life can be good again. Come take a look.
