Starting on this page, you can search well-vetted treatment facilities through our directory. You can look for care in Utah by city, and you can explore beyond the state if you would like to go to rehab away from the distractions or challenges of your home environment.

If you have health insurance, check to see which programs and providers are covered by your plan, since these are likely to be more affordable for you. You can also speak to a benefits specialist about out-of-network options and discuss what portion of the cost your insurance covers.

Even if you don’t have health insurance, there are still other avenues to find substance abuse treatment even if you aren’t sure how you’re going to afford it.

The state of Utah provides substance abuse treatment to low-income residents through its Medicaid program. Simply go online to check your eligibility and learn how to sign up if you meet the right qualifications.

If you prefer a personal recommendation, your family doctor or therapist is a great resource. You can also attend a local Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous meeting to hear from other people in your situation how they got the care they needed.

If you’re like many others from Utah and feel like cost is the biggest barrier to getting into drug or alcohol rehab treatment, talk to the center you’re considering and ask if they offer sliding scales, payment plans, or even scholarships. You never know unless you ask, and the answer is often yes—treatment centers want to help you get the treatment you need.

Many churches and local non-profits or charities will assist you in finding treatment and may even pay for part of it. Taking the first step to ask for help is often difficult, but when you do, you’ll find a community of caring people who want to help you recover and thrive.
