Deer Hollow Recovery

They offer inpatient residential, outpatient and telemedicine. The practical difference is whether you sleep at home or at the center, and are 8 other centers inside 14 miles if neither suits.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Draper, about a mile away.

They treat mental health alongside the substance use, so both sides are handled in one place. Ask whether the psychiatric side is on site, because in Draper that is the part that varies.

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

They do video appointments, which matters if Draper is a drive for you.

The questions that separate two programs are concrete ones about staffing, medication and what happens afterward. Any place promising a specific outcome is telling you something about itself rather than about treatment. Ask for the daily schedule, because it is the most revealing single document.

Inpatient takes you out of your life for a while. Outpatient treats you inside it. A clinician settles this on risk, history and circumstances, and the assessment is a single appointment. Ask whether they offer the middle levels, because many only offer the two ends.

Bring the paperwork, the medications and enough clothing for a week. Most places do laundry. Most residential programs search bags on arrival and hold anything they do not allow until you leave. Ask for the written list before you pack, because every center's version differs.
