Alcohol treatment is a necessary step in overcoming an addiction to alcohol. At Ascend Recovery, we focus on affordable alcohol treatment in Utah such that the patient will live without his or her addiction.
The first hurdle in alcohol treatment is withdrawal. This barrier is the first symptom that alcoholics must treat: the immediate symptoms of withdrawal are handled followed by the process of long term alcohol treatment. All alcoholics who have been chronic experience these symptoms of withdrawal when they suddenly stop drinking; they range from mild shakes and discomfort to life threatening tremors. Long-time, heavy drinkers who have decided to quit should seek a reliable alcohol treatment facility.
The withdrawal phase in alcohol treatment begins with an observation period. During this duration, the patient is monitored to ensure that their heart rate, breathing, body temperature and blood pressure do not drastically spike or dip. In rare cases if the person being treated heavily abused alcohol, sedatives and tranquilizers may have to administered to depress the central nervous system. These medications are only given if the symptoms progress so rapidly that they become left-threatening and need to be controlled.
The step after withdrawal is the longest and most difficult in any person’s alcohol treatment. This stage is often called rehabilitation, or rehab. During this time, the patient learns to control his or her abusive urges towards alcohol in order to live a life free of alcohol dependency.
There is no magic pill to alcoholism and we at Ascend Recovery realize this fact. Our alcohol treatment facility in Utah provides a small, homelike living situation to our patients. This environment allows us to provide a safe, comfortable and, more importantly, custom, tailored programs to ensure our patients continued sobriety.
Many different programs to help people during their alcohol treatment. Ascend Recovery blends a variety of these methods including the 12-step model and some medications to create a best-fit alcohol treatment plan for the patient. Ascend employs therapeutic techniques, using group and individual therapy, experiential therapies, western physical assessment and medical intervention as well as holistic healing techniques such as a specialized nutrition program and a core family program to help families effected by alcoholism. We use any and all of these techniques to design the best treatment for our patients so they may be successful in their alcohol treatment.

Ascend Recovery strives to lessen the financial burden by providing treatment that is 30% less expensive than the industry standards. We also provide a much smaller and more intimate facility comprising of only 8 residents in which the patients feel at home and safe during the beginning and hardest part of their alcohol treatment.
