Bear River Health Department: Comprehensive Substance Use and Behavioral Health Services
The Bear River Health Department (BRHD) offers critical and compassionate behavioral health services across Northern Utah, specializing in treatment for substance use disorders. Understanding that addiction impacts individuals and families deeply, BRHD provides accessible, high-quality care designed to support long-term recovery and improved well-being. Services are available to the community through multiple locations, including Tremonton, Logan, and Brigham City, ensuring that vital resources are within reach for those seeking help.
Substance Use Counseling and Treatment
BRHD’s substance use counseling services are tailored to meet diverse needs, offering a comprehensive approach to recovery. They provide specific treatment tracks for individuals struggling with addiction, including specialized support for pregnant persons. A core offering is the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), which provides structured, focused therapy while allowing patients to maintain their daily lives, work, or school commitments.
The department is committed to making treatment effective and affordable, accepting Medicaid and offering payments based on income through a sliding scale. This commitment helps reduce financial barriers to receiving essential care. Interpretation services are also available to ensure effective communication and inclusive treatment for all community members.
Integrated Care and Support
Addressing addiction often requires integrating various treatment modalities. BRHD offers Medication Assisted Therapy (MAT), which involves using physician-prescribed medication to help manage addiction symptoms. This treatment is often provided at low or no cost and is highly effective when combined with professional counseling services. Furthermore, BRHD provides general Mental Health Counseling Services for individuals and families dealing with related issues such as depression, anxiety, grief, and anger management, acknowledging the co-occurring nature of mental health and substance abuse challenges.
For immediate assistance during a crisis, staff are available 24/7 through dedicated crisis call lines for Box Elder and Cache counties, offering crucial support when it is needed most. These integrated services reflect a dedication to holistic recovery, treating not just the substance use, but the underlying behavioral health issues as well.
