Aspen Grove Behavioral Hospital

They provide inpatient hospital, outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Provo is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines and opioids. Coming off alcohol without medical supervision can be dangerous, which is why it matters that this is one of 5 places near Orem that do it.

They offer a program for veterans. Whether they bill the VA is a separate question, and the answer differs between places even inside Orem.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Orem, not all of them do.

They treat both. A diagnosis left untreated while the substance use is treated is the usual reason a first attempt does not hold, and Provo is the nearest place to try instead if this one does not fit.

They treat young people from 12 up, so a parent calling from Orem about a teenager is in the right place.

The useful comparisons are concrete: the level of care, whether there is a prescriber, what the aftercare is, and the cost. Any place promising a specific outcome is telling you something about itself rather than about treatment. Ask both places for the daily schedule and compare those rather than the brochures.

Documents and medication first. Everything else is a comfort question. The usual banned list covers alcohol, anything containing it such as mouthwash, aerosols, sharp items and outside food. Put the medication list together before anything else, and include doses and who prescribed them.
