- Residential Addiction TreatmentAcqua Recovery is a sanctuary where people come to stop the misuse of drugs and alcohol and begin a life in recovery. Tucked away in a peaceful, 12-acre property, Acqua offers peaceful meditative spots, relaxing water features, and a host of amenities promoting mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being. Here, you will rest, reset your focus, and rediscover the beauty of life without drugs and alcohol. At the same time, our evidence-based, trauma-informed approach to addiction treatment ensures that you'll experience the highest levels of professional care and treatment for your disease.
- Personalized TreatmentAddiction is a complicated disease that requires a sophisticated, customized approach. We draw from each patient’s experiences, preferences, personality, needs, and values to develop an appropriate course of treatment. We combine medically-informed therapies with experiential and meditative activities to deliver a holistic recovery experience.
- Experienced ProfessionalsAcqua Recovery is proud to have several Master-level clinicians on staff. These experts use their many years of education and experience to deliver treatment that works. Other staff members are caring and connecting. Many are in recovery themselves, or have family members that have made the journey. Together, our team is a welcoming and effective recovery community - the perfect mix of science and sanctuary.
- Addiction Recovery Coaching ProgramEveryone in recovery deserves a guardian angel. Meet our recovery coaches. Our addiction recovery coaching program is truly one-of-a-kind. At Acqua, each client is teamed up with a nationally-certified recovery coach that will build a relationship of trust to support the recovery process. The coaches closely follow each client's progress during and after treatment, providing encouragement, feedback, and the opportunity for adjustments along the way. Reconnecting in a healthy way with other individuals is a very important part of recovery. Our recovery coaching program is a great way to create the sense of connection and accountability that fosters lasting addiction recovery.
- AftercareDuring treatment, you will begin to understand your patterns of thinking and action. Our Masters-level clinicians will help you find the root causes of your addiction and help you begin to heal them. For many, though, that healing must be a lifelong process. As you come to the end of your stay at Acqua, our team will work with you to identify appropriate next steps. Perhaps you may want to enter an Intensive Outpatient Program here in Utah, or maybe a sober living is right for you. It might even be time for you to fly home and get back to your family and career. No matter what your vision for the future, our team will ensure that you are set up for success: continued healing and recovery.
