Assessment Counseling and Educational Services (ACES)

ACES designs their outpatient addiction treatment around two primary program tracks that accommodate different stages of recovery. The intensive outpatient program provides three group therapy sessions each week supplemented by bi-weekly individual counseling, creating a robust support structure for individuals transitioning from higher levels of care or those requiring intensive community-based treatment.

Their specialized relapse prevention programming offers flexibility through dual scheduling options - participants can choose either six weeks of twice-weekly sessions for intensive focus or twelve weeks of once-weekly meetings for extended support. This adaptable approach allows the recovery center to meet individuals where they are in their recovery journey while maintaining consistent therapeutic contact.

The recovery center addresses substance use disorders alongside co-occurring mental health conditions through integrated treatment programming. ACES serves trauma survivors and individuals with PTSD, recognizing that successful addiction treatment often requires addressing underlying psychological factors that contribute to substance abuse patterns.

Court-ordered clients receive the same quality programming as voluntary participants, with scheduling flexibility that accommodates legal requirements while fostering genuine recovery engagement. The center's experience with diverse populations - from young adults establishing early sobriety to seniors addressing late-life addiction issues - informs their comprehensive approach to community-based recovery support.

Located in Salt Lake City's Millcreek area, ACES provides accessible addiction treatment for Salt Lake County residents through extended operating hours and multiple payment options. Their weekday schedule running until 8 PM accommodates working professionals, while Saturday morning sessions provide additional flexibility for those with non-traditional schedules.

The outpatient clinic accepts Medicaid, private insurance, and self-pay arrangements, removing financial barriers that often prevent individuals from accessing consistent recovery programming. This commitment to accessibility extends to their educational services component, which provides additional resources for individuals building long-term recovery foundations within their existing life structures.
