    One of the first things an addict should do when entering treatment is to abstain from using illicit drugs completely. Depending on the length of time that the person has been using, the addict may have to go through alcohol or drug withdrawal. Fortunately, detox doesn’t have to be done alone, and withdrawal symptoms can be managed medically in an inpatient or outpatient setting. While detox may be uncomfortable, it is not life-threatening. Detoxification allows the addict to rid the body of all traces of drugs or alcohol and gives the addict a clean slate for their recovery.

    To assist with alcohol or opioid abuse, or a co-occurring condition, Discovery House offers an outpatient treatment program. For their rehabilitation and other services, the Utah patient will go to the treatment center, yet return home every night. After most of the program is completed, the level of mandatory participation reduces.

    Treatment is just a first step in sustaining sobriety. After rehabilitation, counseling for aftercare helps the person adapt to a life without drugs. A sober living facility in Salt Lake City, job therapy, or educational assistance may be included in this service, managed by Discovery House. This is when a preventive strategy for relapse starts to take shape.
