How Do Evidence-Based Practices Improve Recovery Outcomes?
At Legacy Outdoor Adventure, we utilize evidence-based treatment to promote the best possible addiction recovery outcomes. This includes options like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). These practices have been proven to be successful in treating substance use disorders, trauma, and other mental health struggles such as anxiety and depression.
For example, with CBT, this type of therapy allows people to become more aware of their own negative thought processes or behavior patterns. From there, they can work toward addressing these issues and replacing them with more positive, healthy patterns. In the case of substance use disorder, an individual can become more aware of the root causes of why they turn to drugs or alcohol. They can then work to address that issue as part of the treatment process.
Evidence-based practices can also help support long-term recovery because of the skills that they help the individual develop. These skills include critical things such as healthy coping mechanisms for stress and other negative emotions. This may also include things such as emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness.

Substance Use Disorders We Treat
Which Types of Substance Abuse Are Addressed?
At Legacy Outdoor Adventure, we treat both alcohol addiction and multiple types of drug addiction. This includes addiction to prescription medications, such as opioids, stimulants, and benzodiazepines. We also treat addictions to illicit drugs such as heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine.
One thing that sets us apart from other addiction rehab centers in Utah is that we also specialize in treating co-occurring disorders. We understand that treating those with a dual diagnosis is a delicate process. Because of this, our experienced team will utilize integrated treatment that addresses both a person’s mental health disorder and substance use disorder simultaneously.

How Are Alcohol and Drug Addictions Treated Differently?
With alcohol treatment, one of the top priorities is to first stabilize the individual as they go through the detoxification process. This involves treating any potential withdrawal symptoms and ensuring medical supervision in order to keep the individual safe in case they experience a health emergency.
With drug addiction, treatment can look different depending on the type of drug being treated. This is because different drugs lead to different withdrawal side effects. Therefore, the interventions that are needed can vary.
The type of substance that is being treated can also impact the type of damage inflicted on the body and mind. For example, with alcohol use, there may be damage to the liver or cardiovascular system. In the case of cocaine, there could be damage to the heart. As a result, this can also influence the type of treatment needed.

Residential and Inpatient Treatment Programs
What Does a Residential Treatment Center Provide?
A residential treatment center provides a safe, stable, and supportive environment for an individual to get sober and begin their recovery journey. This is also an environment where they can get the mental health services they need all under one roof. As part of this kind of treatment, the individual will live full-time at the facility for the duration of their treatment. Clinicians will be available around the clock to provide counseling, monitor withdrawal side effects, and provide any other treatment services needed.
Through a residential treatment center, an individual also has the ability to be among their peers. This includes both in a casual setting and through 12-Step support group meetings. Peer support can strengthen accountability and allow everyone to learn from one another.
