To find out if there are any drug rehab treatment or counseling facilities serving people in Utah that are suitable for your needs, please call 1-888-966-3784.

There are hundreds, if not thousands of different types of alcohol addiction and drug detox and rehab programs. When choosing a drug rehab center for yourself or a loved one in need, it is important to become educated on the different types and what the end results are.

Types of drug rehab programs include detoxification, outpatient counseling, short-term inpatient treatment (30-day program) and long-term residential treatment (longer than 60 days). Within these there are also medical models that use substitute drugs in the treatment process and there are drug-free programs that do not prescribe more drugs to addicts. Most drug rehab centers have some type of aftercare or follow-up program as well.

On average for the country, approximately 90% of addicts go through outpatient treatment services instead of entering a residential rehabilitation program. (Source: SAMHSA) Longer-term residential treatment is overall more effective and a drug-free rehabilitation approach is better in the long run for the addict.

Detoxification is only the first step on the road of addiction treatment. Most rehab centers consider detoxification to be when the addict is no longer under the influence of the drug, but this is actually only withdrawal.

At the Narconon Drug Detox and Rehab Program we have a very unique and effective detox procedure that actually rids the body of the old drug residues, which in turn eliminates physical cravings for the drugs and allows a person to feel much healthier mentally and physically. This is called the Narconon New Life Detoxification Program and is part of the Narconon Drug Detox and Rehab Program's long-term residential treatment.

To make a successful recovery, the addict needs new tools in order to deal with situations and problems that are part of everyday life. Factors such as encountering someone from their days of using, returning to the same environment and places, or even small things such as smells and objects trigger memories which can create a desire to use drugs again. This can hinder the addict's goal of complete recovery and prevent them from permanently regaining control of their life.

The Narconon Drug Detox and Rehab Program provides the life skills necessary to overcome these barriers and have a successful, permanent recovery so that former addicts can lead a healthy, productive and drug-free life.

The Narconon Drug Detox and Rehab Program has helped thousands of people from all over the United States and other countries overcome addiction. The results speak for themselves. Approximately 70% of Narconon program graduates remain drug-free.

Regardless of where you are in the country, contact a Narconon consultant today to get the help you're looking for.

Utah Drug Information provided by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration

Drug Situation: Mexican poly-drug trafficking organizations dominate all facets of illegal narcotics distribution throughout Utah. Sources of supply for methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, and marijuana are primarily located in California, the southwest, pacific northwest, and Mexico. Methamphetamine production and abuse are the primary drug threats in Utah.

cocaineCocaine: Cocaine is encountered throughout Utah. Kilogram quantities are available along the Wasatch Range, which stretches from Provo to Ogden and includes approximately 75 percent of the state's population. Mexican organizations tend to dominate large scale cocaine distribution, although several other groups are capable of distributing kilogram quantities. In recent years, purity levels for cocaine in Utah have remained relatively stable, but prices have risen. Crack cocaine is available in ounce quantities, though it is confined primarily to larger cities.

opium poppyHeroin: Heroin is a serious problem in Utah. Mexican brown and black tar heroin are available throughout the state with multi-ounce and larger quantities distributed in major cities. Southern California is the source area for multi-ounce and pound quantities of heroin after being smuggled from Mexico. Mexican organizations trafficking in heroin also distribute cocaine and methamphetamine. Higher purity levels of heroin have recently been encountered through undercover purchases and seizures.

Utah Methamphetamine Lab Seizures

methamphetamineMethamphetamine: Methamphetamine is the primary drug threat throughout Utah. Mexican poly-drug trafficking organizations dominate the distribution of methamphetamine, most of which is produced in Mexico and southern California. The methamphetamine supplied by these organizations has increased in purity in recent years.

Over the past four years, there has been a decline in methamphetamine labs in Utah. This is attributed to a number of factors, including strict precursor legislation (that was passed by the Utah Legislature in 2000), community awareness and education campaigns, and aggressive law enforcement efforts. Currently, most labs discovered in Utah are small (as measured by the amount of product made per cook) and rudimentary, compared to super-labs that were the norm several years ago. Despite the dramatic reduction in illegal clandestine labs, methamphetamine remains the drug of choice throughout Utah.

In August 2003, the owner of a Salt Lake City-based business was federally indicted for Conspiracy to Distribute Pseudoephedrine and Ephedrine to be used in the illegal manufacture of methamphetamine. In addition, the owner of another business based in Ogden was sentenced to 97 months imprisonment on 2 counts of Distribution of Pseudoephedrine and Ephedrine to be used in the illegal manufacture of methamphetamine. As a result of the investigation, three local businesses that supplied precursor chemicals and glassware for methamphetamine production have been put out of business.

ecstasyClub Drugs: MDMA and GHB are a problem along the Wasatch Front. They are available through dance clubs and private parties. Many abusers of LSD and other hallucinogens are now dealing and using MDMA and GHB because of their availability and profitability. MDMA distribution in Utah is controlled by structured organizations with domestic sources of supply in the southwestern United States.


marijuanaMarijuana: The majority of marijuana encountered in Utah is of Mexican origin. Marijuana is also grown in the remote areas of the state, which are most conducive for growing operations due to the fertile soil. Also, the importation of marijuana from British Columbia, Canada, remains active in Utah.

In July 2003, DEA Metro Narcotics Task Force personnel assisted the United States Forest Service and Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office (Canyon Patrol) with the seizure of 8,800 marijuana plants from a remote area of Big Cottonwood Canyon. This marijuana seizure was the largest ever in Utah. A sophisticated gravity-flow watering system was utilized in the grow operation. Illegal migrant workers were utilized to tend to the harvest, reflecting an increasing trend of having illegal aliens brought to Utah in order to plant, grow, and cultivate marijuana. By growing the marijuana domestically, trafficking organizations are able to avoid having to smuggle the marijuana across the border. It should also be noted that due to the remote location and rough terrain of the grow site, the Utah Department of Public Safety assisted in the eradication of these plants by utilizing helicopters to fly out thousands of pounds of equipment and marijuana.

Utah Drug Violation ArrestsDEA Mobile Enforcement Teams: This cooperative program with state and local law enforcement counterparts was conceived in 1995 in response to the overwhelming problem of drug-related violent crime in towns and cities across the nation. Since the inception of the MET Program, a total of 436 deployments have been completed nationwide, resulting in 18,318 arrests. There have been two MET deployments in the State of Utah since the inception of the program: Salt Lake City and Midvale.

DEA Regional Enforcement Teams: This program was designed to augment existing DEA division resources by targeting drug organizations operating in the United States where there is a lack of sufficient local drug law enforcement. This program was conceived in 1999 in response to the threat posed by drug trafficking organizations that have established networks of cells to conduct drug trafficking operations in smaller, non-traditional trafficking locations in the United States. As of January 31, 2005, there have been 27 deployments nationwide, and one deployment in the U.S. Virgin Islands, resulting in 671 arrests. There have been no RET deployments in the State of Utah.

Special Topics: The State of Utah participates in the Rocky Mountain HIDTA, which is based in Denver, Colorado. The DEA Metro Narcotics Task Force receives funding from HIDTA. In mid-2001, a HIDTA Investigative Support Center (ISC) was established in Utah and co-located with the DEA Salt Lake City District Office. The ISC supports drug task forces throughout the state.

In February 2003, the DEA Metro Narcotics Task Force began participating in a nationwide, coordinated investigation into the Ismael Zambada-Garcia drug trafficking organization, responsible for smuggling tons of methamphetamine and cocaine into the United States. Information obtained from the nationwide investigation helped agents identify members of the Zambada-Garcia organization operating in Utah. Several of these members acted as drug couriers who traveled to California to pick up large amounts of drugs and brought them back to Utah for distribution. During one such trip, the couriers were stopped and 10 pounds of methamphetamine were seized. In June 2003, DEA Metro learned of another shipment of drugs that was being driven from California to Salt Lake City. Ultimately, the vehicle was stopped and approximately 11 pounds of cocaine were discovered that had been vacuum-sealed and secreted in a false compartment within the gas tank of the vehicle.
