About
Mountain Valley Recovery is dedicated to assisting young-adult males facing addiction as they navigate their path toward lasting recovery. Offering a comprehensive residential program that spans 9-12 months, this rehabilitation center is situated in the serene environment of Holden, Utah. Participants receive personalized, evidence-based treatment under the supervision of licensed professionals, with a maximum of 15 residents at any time, facilitating individual attention. This program is particularly well-suited for those who have encountered setbacks with relapse or have found brief treatment regimens ineffective.
The philosophy at Mountain Valley Recovery emphasizes empowerment and self-sufficiency for clients, acknowledging the distinctiveness of each individual’s journey. A tailored approach is employed to align with the personal goals and aspirations of every participant. Treatment incorporates the most current evidence-based practices, delivered through the insights and expertise of trained professionals. Each client engages in one hour of personalized counseling weekly with a therapist specializing in substance use disorders, mental health issues, and sexual addiction. Group sessions employ various therapeutic modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), mindfulness strategies, and motivational interviewing, all aimed at enhancing communication and interpersonal skills. Certified peer support specialists, who share their own recovery experiences, play a crucial role in guiding clients toward a safe, sober, and healthy lifestyle. Additionally, individualized therapy for families or couples is available, but it may not be suitable for every client.
Alongside therapeutic interventions, clients immerse themselves in skill development, equine therapy, and recreational activities. This holistic methodology fosters a sense of fulfillment in sobriety and establishes a groundwork for integrating recovery into daily life. As participants acquire new vocational skills, interact with animals, enjoy nature, and adhere to a structured environment, they cultivate self-esteem and confidence to realize their potential.
While the distractions of their previous lifestyles are removed on the ranch, clients engage in a realistic program where they are encouraged to contribute to household responsibilities and seek job opportunities. As they approach the conclusion of their program, clients can secure employment, laying the cornerstone for financial independence. Mountain Valley Recovery is committed to supporting clients’ transitions from treatment to ensure a lower risk of relapse, promoting sustainable recovery pathways. They reinforce the coping techniques learned during therapy and advocate for active participation in ongoing support networks such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
At Mountain Valley, clients find camaraderie not only on the ranch but also in the nearby community, located two hours south of Salt Lake City. Numerous local volunteers assist by providing job leads, hosting meals, celebrating achievements, and offering encouragement. Spanning 80 tranquil acres, the facility provides a communal living experience, with spacious shared areas and dormitory-style bedrooms featuring bunk beds. Residents also partake in daily chores and meal preparation. For recreation, clients partake in activities such as skiing, bowling, off-road excursions, hiking, and trips to cabins.
