24 hr assessment and admissions hotline:  By calling 888 786-6425, you will be connected with an experienced addictions crisis manager who can then address your concerns and assist you in making appropriate arrangements for treatment.
Interventions:  If you are faced with a loved one who needs treatment, but is not seeking it, we have experienced members of our staff and affiliations with nationwide interventionists, who can arrange for and carry out intensive motivating interventions with your family and the addicted loved one.
Assistance with financial arrangements:  Our hotline specialists are very familiar with all of the accessible options to help cover the treatment cost. These may include family members, local church leaders, mental health substance abuse insurance, lending institutions (serenity loans with a link here).

Transport: Once a person has expressed willingness to receive treatment at Summit Lodge, getting the person there in an efficient, safe, secure manner, is a priority. Sometimes, a reliable family member can be assigned this responsibility. However, often it is prudent to use our transport services. We can and do send an experienced chaperone to anywhere in the country to chaperone and transport a client directly to SL from home, the hospital, sites of intervention, etc.

Alumni Support : Clients and families who graduate from the SL program understand that the recovery work has just begun. Our support of our alumni's efforts include the following:
1. Alumni support groups. This is a weekly support group meeting held both in the Salt Lake metropolitan area and at the lodge. This is held weekly, is free, and is required for two years of those graduates who live in those areas. Similar programs are arranged for those who live outside of those areas.
Each client throughout their stay is discussing with their peers and with the staff, what healthy plans will be in place on graduation. This includes where they will be living, who they will associate with, who they will not associate with, what follow up appointments need to be arranged (e.g. psychiatry, counseling, step down substance abuse treatment, etc). Prior to discharge, clients are required to have completed a continuing care plan and discharge appointment sheet. Information includes what his or her triggers might be, what contingency plans and supports will be in place, plans for obtaining a 12-step sponsor and attending specific 12-step meetings. Family is also prepared with Al-anon and other support group information. This continuing care plan and discharge instruction information is shared with spouses or parents, sponsor, follow up physicians and counselors, etc.
Often, especially with young adults, it is necessary to continue some level of structured treatment for 3-12 months after intensive 'primary treatment'. This may include a sober living (group home) living setting, transitional life skills residential treatment, wilderness experiential program, intensive outpatient (day treatment) substance program. Consideration and discussion of these recommendations commence early in the treatment process and involves treatment team, client, and involved family.

2. Support phone calls. We provide regular follow up phone calls to our recent graduates. This tapers over time. The 24 hr hotline can also serve as support after graduation.
