Multiple Options in Addiction Treatment
An outpatient treatment program is most appropriate for those whose recovery is sufficiently stable. During outpatient programs, clients can stay at home or in a sober living program.
Our Intensive Outpatient Program in Utah, like our Residential and Day Treatment Programs, begins with an assessment by our clinical team. Our addiction IOP in Utah is typically scheduled for three hours a day, three days a week. Based on this assessment and diagnosis, an Individualized Treatment Plan is then prepared.
Based on the above assessments, an Individualized Treatment Plan is developed and will form the basis for treatment. This ITP can be adjusted at any time based on the progress that the client is or is not making in their treatment. At Spirit Mountain Recovery, both the addiction and mental health disorders are treated simultaneously.
A key to our Intensive Outpatient Program is its flexibility in the types of treatment you will receive, and the periods you can devote to your treatment. Treatment times are set to accommodate your work schedule, insurance, school and family obligations.

No matter what level of addiction treatment care you choose, the goal of therapy is to help you achieve lasting sobriety. All licensed rehab programs use various evidence-based therapies and alternative treatment models to ensure you receive the help and guidance you need to get sober. However, not all levels of care achieve this goal in the same manner.
The different levels of care (inpatient, outpatient, and intensive outpatient) offer different levels of treatment intensity based on the nature of each program. At Spirit Mountain Recovery, our intensive outpatient program in Utah offers a higher level of care than standard outpatient programs, serving as a bridge between inpatient treatment and fully independent recovery.
In an inpatient program, you are required to live at the treatment center while participating in therapy. The rehab provides everything necessary for you to place your complete focus on healing and overcoming addiction. During inpatient treatment, you will have access to 24/7 care and support that addresses your physical, emotional, and nutritional needs. Inpatient or residential programs are ideal for someone struggling with a severe addiction or who has experienced relapse after previously going to rehab.
Two other widely used levels of care are intensive outpatient and outpatient programs. While both reference outpatient care, they are different in many ways. A key difference between residential care and any type of outpatient treatment is housing. Outpatient programs allow you to seek necessary addiction treatment care and support while still living at home. Outpatient programs are generally more flexible and structured around helping you achieve your treatment needs on a schedule that considers other obligations such as work and family. Outpatient treatment programs ensure anyone who is motivated to get well can attend group therapy, individual therapy, or peer support sessions in the evenings or at other times that do not conflict with their schedule. Because outpatient programs are less intensive than traditional inpatient care, they often last six months or more as it can take longer to reach your treatment goals.
Substance abuse intensive outpatient programs typically fall somewhere between outpatient and inpatient care. An IOP also allows participants to reside at home while going to addiction treatment therapy. At Spirit Mountain Recovery, our intensive outpatient program in Utah often acts as a bridge or transitional program between inpatient and outpatient care. “Stepping down” to IOP for addiction treatment offers a step between intensive inpatient care and the freedom of returning home for those who have completed inpatient treatment but are not yet comfortable returning home without ongoing support. Intensive outpatient programs are also beneficial as the first course of treatment for someone with a mild to moderate addiction, minimal co-occurring mental health concerns, and an environment at home that is stable and safe.
The most significant benefit to choosing IOP treatment is the ability to receive intensive addiction treatment care in a treatment environment that allows you to remain fully immersed and active in your day-to-day obligations. These programs help reduce some of the fear and stigma surrounding “leaving home” to go to an alcohol or drug rehab. Because an IOP for addiction treatment allows you to remain involved in work and family activities while getting help to overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it is not uncommon for people to feel more comfortable choosing this treatment method.
At Spirit Mountain Recovery, our intensive outpatient program in Utah offers a similar level of treatment intensity to that found in the inpatient treatment environment. It is important to remember that certain factors unique to your treatment needs suggest inpatient care as a first step might offer a greater opportunity for success. However, an IOP program may be the right first step for you if you have a mild to moderate substance use disorder and your home environment is free from substance use triggers. While many people choose outpatient level care because it allows them to remain at home, staying in an environment surrounded by triggers can also be one of the most significant challenges to intensive outpatient treatment. For some, this ongoing exposure to the triggers, including people, events, and places, that led to and furthered addiction may lead to an increased risk for relapse.
One of the primary components used in intensive outpatient treatment is group therapy. Participation in group therapy or peer support groups offers the opportunity to give and receive support from like-minded peers who share similar challenges. Group therapy sessions also provide a chance to work on and improve communication skills that can be so vital to maintaining effective interactions with others after treatment ends. By participating in peer support groups and group activities, you can learn how to engage in social events without using drugs or alcohol to feel comfortable. Group and individual therapy sessions are also utilized to help you develop and practice healthier and safer coping tools needed to overcome relapse triggers in the future.

Sumner Adams2025-03-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Spirit Mountain Recovery has brought joy and gratitude back into my life. I had been to seven treatment centers over the last twelve years prior to coming to SMR. It was explained to me before arriving that their style of programming is a little different than my experience in the past. It is not just a traditional 12-step program. They put in emphasis on experiential therapy that allows clients to get out in the beautiful Utah wilderness every week instead of sitting at the house day in and day out. This aspect of the program has allowed me to rediscover my passion for the outdoors and reignite the fire I had lost for hobbies such as hiking, snowboarding, pickle ball, going to the gym etc. They also give us the opportunity to meet and develop relationships with the local recovery community through going to meetings throughout the week. The staff made the experience for me during my four months I was there. Each staff member from the lowest level position all the up to the owner made themselves available at anytime when needed. It was clear that they all truly cared about each client and came always from a place of compassion and love. The staff to client relationships was unlike anything I’ve experience before in past treatment centers. Most of the staff are in recovery and majority of them are alumni of SMR, so being able to relate to them on a personal level came very easy. Honest recovery work requires a lot of vulnerability and the staff provides a very safe place for this to happen. They have been in the exact spot the clients are in during their recovery journeys so they fully understand the pain and sadness we feel in early sobriety. Lastly, SMR is not done with you when you leave the center. Between the monthly alumni meetings and calls from the staff to check-in, they really want to remain involved within our recovery journeys which allows those important relationships that were built to continue on. This is just another part of the program that separates them from others. There will always be a special place in my heart for Spirit Mountain. I am forever grateful to this program and the people I met as a result. If you or a loved one is struggling with substance abuse, I highly recommend Spirit Mountain. You will be shown love, acceptance and compassion and will have the opportunity to build a foundation of recovery that can bring a life of peace and serenity that we loose when we are stuck in the pit of substance abuse. I wish I had found Spirit Mountain back in 2013 but am so glad I found it when I did. It changed my life and continues to better my life each and everyday. D J2024-09-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It would be dramatic to say that Spirit Mountain Recovery saved my life, BUT they did provide the compass and leadership that lead me along the path to self discovery and healing I so desperately needed to actually begin living life. The staff are almost entirely in recovery themselves or have worked in that field for many years, and most of those in recovery (all but one FT staff member) went through Spirit Mountain. As such, they were not only qualified to light the way but have also lived the journey firsthand and so were able to easily see the pitfalls and challenges that inevitably present themselves and demonstrated daily how to navigate them effectively. All of the activities were ultimately based on learning to live a satisfying life of recovery--living with purpose and joy through connection, willing honesty, and discomfort (where growth happens) without the need for substances to alter what I am truly feeling and thinking in the moment. Being active is an important aspect of the experience at Spirit Mountain, and for me that was hugely beneficial because my additions sucked all of the pleasures of life from me, I no longer desired to do anything but feed the beast. I highly recommend considering Spirit Mountain Recovery if you desire to find out once again, or possibly for the first time, what life can and should be lived like. Sean Murnane2024-09-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing program. Amazing staff. Highly recommend for anyone who needs help with addiction. Kev D2024-09-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great place to get sober. I came for recovery and stayed for the food. Amazing staff. Worth every penny to achieve sustained sobriety. Jared Pate2024-09-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great times. Sober. Good people. Food good. Shawn Toney2024-09-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I don’t normally write reviews but on this occasion it was necessary. I want to say thank you to all the staff at S.M.R. For helping me with a life long struggle of addiction. I honestly thought I was a lost cause and that my life was set in stone with addiction. I was wrong in that thinking and with the help and guidance of the staff I can now say that my whole outlook on life has changed. They opened up my eyes into seeing what life is really about and how to deal with tough life decision in a healthy way instead of self sabotage. It doesn’t just stop after you leave the house either they remain in contact with me and are always willing to talk and help out with whatever you have going on in life. I consider some of them my closest friends to this day and will never forget what they have given me and my family. Jobey Shaver2024-05-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It is really hard to put into words what Spirit Mountain Recovery has done for me, and my family. I went to SMR a very broken and hopeless individual with no chance of happiness. It didn't take long to realize that the staff actually cared about me, which was hard to comprehend since I didn't care about myself. Although I had no understanding of the process and treatment they were providing I buckled down, did what was asked and embraced the uncomfortable. The results are amazing. I am the happiest I have ever been and my family is too! Thank you SMR for showing me how to get out of my own way. I am now the husband and father I always wanted to be. Nate Harper2024-04-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot share enough good words about SMR. At the darkest time of my life, I desperately seeked for a family that would help me in my healing journey. SMR embodies love, compassion, and a deep understanding of human life and suffering. The staff at SMR are beyond amazing, and the program is designed with the client in mind. If you’re not sober and want to be, SMR will help take you there, without a doubt Jaiden Snyder2024-04-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love the staff and the recovery program they provide! Beautiful area, great sober activities they take you out to do! Comfortable, cozy very accommodating. Big Thanks for all you guys do!
