Taking Assessments

You may also be asked for a drug test at your screening at a $21 cost. Fees for drug testing and recommended treatment services will be charged on a sliding fee scale if financial information is provided. Please continue to bring in proof of income as it can have an impact on the drug test fee as well as any future service charges. Payment is not necessary at the time of service.


Treatment Entry:

If your assessment indicates that you would benefit from treatment, you will be referred to a treatment program. At the assessment, you will be given contact information and connected with a treatment program.

Early Intervention Courses:

Instead of treatment, you may be recommended for Prime For LifeĀ®, an evidence-based prevention and intervention program, designed to help people learn how to reduce their risks of alcohol and drug-related problems throughout life.   

* All treatment services are limited to Utah County residents only. You can also find providers outside our service area at https://findtreatment.samhsa.gov/

* There is a financial obligation to pay for services. Payment is calculated on a sliding fee scale based on Federal Poverty Guidelines, income and household size.
