Assisstance For Recovery That Lasts
Those battling drug and alcohol addiction disorder may be scared to take medications. However, medication management is critical for both recovery and rehab treatments. Medication management in Utah can significantly relieve suffering from addiction and other mental health disorders.
Spirit Mountain Recovery offers medication management in Utah by a medical doctor who is also a Board-Certified Psychiatrist. The doctor can assess and diagnose substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. Each individual is medically and psychiatrically assessed upon admission for individualized care. From there, the doctor determines if a person needs detox before admission.
Medication management covers various services geared toward providing the proper medication to patients recovering from drug and alcohol abuse disorders. Medication management ensures that every patient gets the proper, personalized treatment in a safe, error-free, professional manner while in recovery.
A proper medication management regime also ensures that patients leave rehab with stable and manageable medication if applicable to their recovery. Plus, medication management goes beyond in-house recovery.
Medication management is often initially required so a person can physically and mentally take on therapy. In some cases, medication may be a long-term need. For example, some mental health issues are caused, at least in part, by chemical imbalances in the brain. The proper course of medication addresses these imbalances for correction.
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services (SAMHSA), a treatment program that pairs medication and cognitive-behavioral therapy or other types of counseling is often the most effective course of action for successful long-term recovery.
If medication management is an option, here are some things to know.
Medication management is often required to treat addiction symptoms and get a person to the point where they can positively interact with therapy. For example, a chemical imbalance will intensify some addiction problems. The proper medication can address these imbalances. Medication management can be crucial to help patients through withdrawal periods. For instance, medicine can offer individuals great relief in the first days and weeks of getting off a hard drug such as heroin.
The doctor may start with a basic prescription to see what side effects occur. From there, they can tell what medications will be the most effective. The goal is to find a prescription that works best for each patient while resolving medication issues quickly and efficiently. Spirit Mountain Recovery’s medication management in Utah offers various services to ensure each patient gets the proper medication and dose unique to them to help free the body and mind from addiction. All patients are active in their unique treatment. Everyone can weigh in on their goals and preferences regarding medication. Excellent medication management includes:

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.
