Individualized Treatment Plans for Opioid Addiction
Utah opioid treatment programs use therapy, prescription medications, and other services to help clients learn to manage their condition. Legacy Outdoor Adventures utilizes personalized care plans to ensure that every client receives the level of support they need to progress in their healing journey. Clinicians collaborate closely with clients and their loved ones to schedule appointments and develop effective treatment plans.
Medication-Assisted Treatment With Buprenorphine and Methadone
People with OUD benefit from medication-assisted treatment (MAT) that utilizes buprenorphine or methadone to reduce withdrawal symptoms. According to researchers, “[m]ethadone, buprenorphine, and extended-release naltrexone are the three medications currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating opioid use disorder.” In addition, “Treatment using agonist medication is associated with an estimated mortality reduction of approximately 50 percent among people with OUD.”
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
People with OUD often experience mental health issues worsened by chronic substance abuse. Individual and group therapy sessions help clients build healthy coping strategies and learn practical methods for managing stress. Legacy Outdoor Adventures prioritizes skill development in all programs to prepare clients for lasting sobriety and long-term success. CBT and DBT are the two most common therapeutic modalities used to address trauma-related or behavioral issues during rehabilitation.
Medication Management and Safe Prescribing Practices
Legacy Outdoor Adventures offers medication management and uses safe prescribing practices. Every treatment program uses the lowest possible dose for the shortest period of time to provide relief from symptoms without increasing the client’s risk of complications. People living in and around Salt Lake City, Utah, can trust the clinical team to provide life-saving support during addiction recovery.
Residential and Outpatient Levels of Care
Legacy Outdoor Adventures offers inpatient residential treatment programs, outpatient services, and aftercare. Clients often go through multiple levels of care, starting with detox and gradually transitioning to residential or outpatient programs. Chronic alcohol and drug addiction frequently causes behavioral health issues that require additional treatment. Clinicians work with clients to create a tailored treatment plan that utilizes various treatment services and levels of care to address their specific needs.
Adventure Therapy and Experiential Approaches
The dedicated experts at Legacy Outdoor Adventures use adventure therapy and other experiential therapies to help clients heal and build essential skills that support lasting sobriety. Spending time out in nature allows clients to practice healthy coping mechanisms in real-world situations, improving self-confidence and self-control.
According to Environmental Health and Preventive Medicine, “Nature-based interventions such as horticulture, hiking in natural environments, and engaging in outdoor activities proved to be effective in addiction treatment and promoting recovery.” In addition, “[E]ngaging with nature enhances emotional resilience and promotes healthy behaviors, potentially deterring substance use.”

Addressing Co-Occurring Mental Health Conditions
Many people who abuse opiates or other addictive substances have co-occurring mental health disorders requiring simultaneous treatment. Legacy Outdoor Adventures uses a wide range of therapeutic modalities to address co-occurring conditions impacting client health, safety, and comfort, including:
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
- Experiential therapies, such as outdoor therapy
- Family therapy
Treatment programs offer therapy sessions in group and individual settings to meet each client’s specific needs.
Dual Diagnosis Support for Substance Use Disorders
Healthcare providers at Legacy Outdoor Adventures use integrative care to treat dual diagnosis, including multiple co-occurring forms of SUD. For example, a client may have alcohol use disorder (AUD), OUD, and a mood disorder. Dual diagnosis support generally involves stress management strategies, treatment for withdrawal symptoms, and holistic therapies that promote overall wellness.
Residential treatment involves tailored care plans and 24/7 supervision to reduce the risk of complications during withdrawal or relapse in early recovery. Outpatient programs offer ongoing support, guidance, and structure during weekdays for people who do not require inpatient care.

Trauma-Informed Care and Mental Health Interventions
People who experience or witness traumatic events have a higher risk of being diagnosed with SUD, mental health issues, or dual diagnosis. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), “Children and adolescents who experience trauma are particularly susceptible to developing a substance use disorder later in life.” However, “Protective factors such as individual traits like optimism and environmental influences like healthy family and peer relationships, as well as targeted prevention interventions, can reduce the risk of developing a substance use disorder.”
Trauma-informed care and mental health treatment give families and clients the information they need to prevent future health issues related to trauma. Treatment programs teach coping strategies, educate families, and support trauma healing.

Cravings, Relapse, and High-Risk Situations
Opioid abuse can cause high-risk withdrawal situations during early recovery. Certain triggers may lead to intrusive thoughts, cravings, or relapse. Rehabilitation programs minimize these risks by providing people with a structured and supportive environment that offers access to essential recovery services throughout every stage of recovery.
Pain medication may trigger drug use, making it essential for people with chronic pain to work closely with their healthcare provider to create an alternative treatment plan for managing chronic conditions. MAT may help clients manage chronic pain while reducing opioid withdrawal symptoms.

What medications are used in medication-assisted treatment?
Methadone and buprenorphine are the primary medications prescribed for MAT during treatment for opioid use disorder. A clinician will assess the client’s physical and mental health to determine if MAT will provide the best outcome. After prescribing medications, clinicians use medication management and other services to monitor client safety and drug use to ensure they take the medication as prescribed.
Methadone is a synthetic opioid used to treat chronic pain and opioid abuse. Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist that binds to opioid receptors in the brain, and clinicians prescribe it to treat chronic pain and OUD. A clinician dispenses the medication daily and monitors the client for any changes in behavior or health.

Are outpatient programs available after residential care?
Clients generally request referrals to outpatient programs after completing residential care as a step down in the treatment process. Most people participate in an intensive outpatient program (IOP) or partial hospitalization program (PHP) before transitioning to aftercare services.
The clinical team at Legacy Outdoor Adventures has treated OUD and other forms of SUD for over 15 years. Clients who complete residential programs receive referrals to relevant outpatient programs and additional resources to support their ongoing recovery. The referrals can include specialized outpatient programs that cater to people with specific co-occurring mental health disorders.
How does Legacy address co-occurring mental health conditions?
Legacy Outdoor Adventures uses experiential therapy and other modalities to treat OUD and co-occurring mental health disorders. The type of treatment and level of support vary depending on multiple factors, including severity of symptoms, potential for complications, and general health. Addressing co-occurring disorders during rehabilitation allows people to prepare for long-term sobriety by learning how to manage their condition using positive coping strategies.
Clients learn life skills that minimize daily stressors and the risk of triggering mental health issues during recovery. Most clients continue to receive mental health treatment during aftercare. Legacy Outdoor Adventures offers comprehensive aftercare planning, alumni support, and referrals to mental health services.
What steps are taken to prevent opioid overdose during treatment?
Experts use multiple treatment modalities to ensure clients remain safe during the withdrawal process and early recovery. According to MedlinePlus, “Treatment most often involves medicines, counseling, and support, and is the same for both opiates and opioids.” Clinicians monitor client safety and comfort, adjusting treatment as needed to reduce the risk of relapse or complications.
