At Legacy Outdoor Adventures, we are committed to making access to high-quality mental health and substance abuse care as affordable and seamless as possible. Unlike many programs that require families to submit “superbills” for reimbursement, we have invested in the licensure and expertise needed to pre-authorize and bill insurance directly. This approach significantly reduces out-of-pocket expenses for families, making lasting healing more accessible. We work with a variety of insurance providers, leveraging our licensure to secure pre-authorization and billing, ensuring that families can focus on recovery without unnecessary financial stress.

Legacy Outdoor Adventures is licensed by the State of Utah as a provider of mental health and addiction treatment. Many insurance companies will cover part of the cost of Legacy Outdoor Adventures for medically necessary treatment. Legacy programs have the ability to preauthorize and bill insurance.

Building Community Through Alumni Programs

Just because someone completes treatment at Legacy Outdoor Adventures doesn’t mean that they can no longer be active in its community. Alumni are a frequent presence with annual in-person reunion events, weekly support calls, and an opportunity to volunteer as guides after one year of sobriety. Not only does this keep alumni connected to the community that helped them, but it also provides a means to help others achieve recovery, too.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does rehab cost in Utah?
Rehab in Utah can vary in cost depending on the type of program you’re interested in and the facility itself. It can also depend on how much of a program insurance can help cover. 

Insurance can cover some or even the majority of rehab. The level of care that insurance will cover depends on the specific program and facility that you’re looking into. It can also depend on your insurance provider itself. To determine how much insurance may cover our program, you can reach out to a member of our admissions team.

Whether you need outpatient or inpatient care depends on several different factors, including the severity of your addiction or mental health struggle and whether or not you have a good support system at home. It can also depend on whether you have a co-occurring disorder or if you’ve tried outpatient care in the past and have been unsuccessful.

The length of time you stay at a drug rehab facility depends on the type of program that you are taking part in. At Legacy Outdoor Adventures, a typical stay is 90 days.

Rehab refers to the treatment phase in which you receive professional help achieving sobriety. Recovery refers to the long-term journey of maintaining that sobriety.

We treat alcohol and drug addiction alongside mental health disorders or trauma. Our comprehensive dual diagnosis treatment addresses all active disorders. The majority of individuals seeking treatment have one or more co-occurring conditions. Some of the conditions we treat include: 

  • Major depressive disorder (MDD) and other mood disorders 
  • Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and other anxiety or panic disorders 
  • Personality disorders 
  • Schizophrenia 
  • Trauma and multigenerational trauma 

The majority of individuals with drug or alcohol addiction have at least one co-occurring mental health issue affecting their quality of life when they enter treatment. Addressing all conditions simultaneously improves their quality of life and increases the likelihood they will adhere to the program guidelines.

We offer a Legacy Family Program as part of our residential treatment, providing families with ongoing updates and support while a loved one is undergoing treatment. Our Legacy Family Program offers weekly therapeutic updates for family members, telehealth family therapy sessions, in-person family workshops, and more to foster healing not just for the individual in treatment but for their family systems as well.

Many people with substance use disorder find it challenging to see the reality of their condition and their need for help. Addiction affects how people process and respond to circumstances in their lives. The clinical team at Legacy Outdoor Adventures collaborates with families to help them navigate the intervention and intake process. Families often play an integral role in ensuring individuals with SUD get the support and treatment they need to rebuild their lives.
