Southwest Behavioral Health Center

The Southwest Behavioral Health Center serves multiple counties in Utah. The outpatient clinic in Washington County is this location in Saint George. This is also the organization’s administrative office. This clinic provides outpatient substance use and mental health treatment. Services include crisis support and employment services.

Southwest Behavioral Health Center accepts Medicaid and may also take other insurance coverage. You can contact them directly for more details.

Substance Use Treatment in Washington County

Southwest has a wide range of services for adults and youth. They deliver comprehensive assessments, including court ordered evaluations. They also facilitate DUI offender classes, HIV education and screening and IV drug user information and treatment.

Counseling is available in individual and group format and uses evidence based approaches such as motivational interviewing and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). They also offer medication assisted treatment (MAT) and integrated treatment for co occurring mental health and substance use disorders.

I like that they provide trauma focused therapy options, such as Recovery-Oriented Cognitive Therapy (CT-R) for PTSD and Seeking Safety among others. Trauma is a common root cause of substance use and mental health concerns, and reprocessing those events can significantly reduce triggers.

Employment Services For Recovery

Southwest Behavioral Health Center sees employment services as an essential part of treatment and recovery. They supply job search strategies, help with your resume, and practice for interviewing skills. You can also access integrated employment opportunities and long term support.

I think it’s nice that they also help you enroll in any social services you are eligible for. This could include assistance with rent, bills and food, along with educational benefits, social security and more.
