Co-occurring Substance Use and Emotional Distress Concerns

Intermountain recognizes that emotional distress and substance use impact each other.  The program blends mental health and substance abuse services to help youth and their families cope with the combined effects of both disorders.

Masters level, dually trained therapists with experience in mental health and substance use treatment provide individual and family therapy, and crisis management designed to help the child and family re-establish healthy coping mechanisms and trusting relationships. Treatment focuses on developing and maintaining motivation to make positive life changes. A relationship based approach is used to support the youth in developing healthy peer and adult relationship skills.

Offered as community based outpatient treatment to sustain the child and family after intensive treatment has ended or for youth who are currently abusing substances at Intermountain’s Clinic.
