Okay! So, a fabulous place to get treatment. They treat you well here, and it is a comfortable environment to share your problems and get the help you need. I want to write that I've never seen a clinic highlight so much that I mattered as a person, and this was crucial for my recovery and giving me the optimism I needed to continue my life. I saw people get help for addiction, anxiety, and trauma, and no matter their experiences, they were always reminded that they mattered. This coupled with their methods of treatment are what helped me get better.For highlights: I enrolled in their IOP program, meaning I went to their clinic in Sandy 3 times a week, for 2 hours those days in the evenings for group therapy. I was impressed with their treatment process. Monday evenings, you learn and engage in a therapy process called Mind-Body Bridging (MBB), Tuesdays is a check in with learning about breathing/meditation, and Thursdays is meditation/yoga. All of these, while they may seem kind of trivial, actually help if you take them seriously and apply them outside of the clinic.They also had me meet with a doctor, an individual therapist, and a "recovery specialist" who helped me delve even deeper into the roots of my problems (essentially, another therapist). All of these aspects played a huge role in my treatment process. The doctor prescribed me meds for my specific problem that my normal healthcare provider would have never thought of to prescribe, and it was a gamechanger. Next, my individual therapist, handpicked by the director of the clinic who she thought I would click with best, ended up being one of the best therapists I've ever had--Shawn was very understanding and crucial in my recovery. Finally, the recovery specialist was a unique aspect to an IOP program, and he played a role in which I was able to reflect on my life and figure out the "roots" of my challenges--this included figuring out my values, journaling, and most importantly, asking myself "why" things were important to me. Trust me when I say that taking this seriously will help you figure out where you've been, where you are now, and where you can go, hopefully in a different direction if you've been through hard experiences.Places to improve:--Punctuality. Often in the evenings, the facilitator would wait up to 20 minutes to start because we were waiting for others to trickle in. I get that we want to look out for everyone--I also think that if people care about their own treatment, they'll make an effort to show up on time like I did. I paid a lot for this program--I wanted every moment to count. That being said, I did enjoy the chill conversations I had with other clients and the facilitator while we waited--and punctuality could still improve.--Staying on task. Some evenings, we would get off track because we were having so much fun with conversation. Or, we would get off track because one client or another would unintentionally share so much that a good chunk of the night was more about them than the group. I think it could definitely help if the facilitators put more effort into keeping the group on task. It happened enough to be noticeable, though not enough to knock a star off this review.--Clear road to graduation. This program did not make it clear what they expected for me to graduate. For this program, partway through I had to ask, "hey, what do I have to do to graduate, I'm feeling like I've made a lot of progress." What followed was actually fairly complex. I had to meet with a separate counselor and complete 4 different long assignments (which I didn't know there were 4 parts to until I completed part 2, which I thought was the end) then get approval from him and my counselor. There was probably more looked at, but in general, I had to ask and it was not made known to me otherwise.--Enrolling and questions. Questions about enrolling and finances took some time to get answers to, because the woman in charge was always in meetings. Having an assistant could help.

Pathways is a place of miracles. I and so many others have come to pathways feeling unheard, misdiagnosed, hopeless, like no matter what you do you’re not good enough, and given up on by other outpatient or inpatient treatment. Pathways is a treatment center, but more than anything, it becomes your family. The friends I have made in my peers are lifelong, and I feel safe knowing that I can come anytime and my friends in the staff are lifelong too. I came to pathways with an undiagnosed eating disorder, zero will to live and the belief that my trauma wasn’t trauma, and everyday I leave group, I leave with compassion, affirmations I can believe in, and hope for my future ❤️ Recovery is not easy, but this place will support you through all the hard things. The trauma track is life altering (thanks Josh), the therapists are all so so kind and amazing at their jobs, the front desk staff and recovery specialists are my best pals, there’s this amazing yoga and meditation teacher and we all get so pumped to see her, the doctor is super cool and always wears cool outfits and is really diligent about finding the right meds, and Tchelsey, Chrissy, and Amy have been the only reasons some days that I continue to choose recovery from my eating disorder. If you’re at all on the fence about getting help, just go to the free consultation and meet with them and get a snack and you will be comforted and loved just as you are.

Pathways completely changed my life. They saved my life and taught me how to continuously improve on it. Pathways was my sixth hospitalization and it is hands down the best treatment I have ever received. I will always be grateful for pathways.

Pathways Real Life Recovery equipped me with the invaluable tools and therapy I needed to overcome my addiction issues. I couldn’t speak more highly of their CBT approach, excellent staff and flexibility while in their care. This was the best investment I’ve ever made.

To say this program has changed my life would be an understatement. I am still undergoing treatment, but would not be able to push through without the support and skills these amazing people work so hard to provide. I am so impressed with the staff which have grown to feel more like family. The world needs more people like what you will find here at pathways!

We found Pathways 2 years ago when one of my daughters hit rock bottom in her mental health journey. After her first visit with Michelle, she immediately felt heard and understood. Her time at Pathways literally saved her life. Her experience gave her sibling, who has been battling severe depression for 7 years and was not able to hold a job, or function on most levels, the inspiration they needed to enter the Pathways Inpatient program at Glenwood. It was life changing and life saving. After completing the inpatient program and the out patient program, they are now thriving, working full-time, and living a completely different life.Both continue to use the tools they have learned from Pathways in their real life experiences.Finding Pathways is one of the best things that has happened for our family. We will be forever grateful.

This place has changed my life. Never before would I have believed that I could be this happy! I spent most my life on drugs. I come from a life that gave me no chance. And now I'm clean, happy, and pursuing my dreams. I'm even going to college! Anyone can get sober. If you want to truly heal and be happy, go to Pathways. Go to a consultation, take that first step. I promise you won't regret it. If they would push school back a couple years and teach this to our children, the world would be a better place. Thank you to Pathways for helping me to change life!

Pathways saved my life. I was in a really dark place before I went to their inpatient and continued onto their out patient program. They were very honest with me about my addiction and they were very honest about how I felt being there, which I was as well, I didn't want to lose my family. Their approach is very out of the box and not 12 step related although if the 12 steps work for you they will add that to your program. They also have sessions about core root issues to ones addiction rather than just talking about the surface issues which are just symptoms. The groups are very engaging. They always followed up with me both in and outside the program once I graduated. They really care about their patients. They even helped me find a therapist after I graduated. They set you up for success and aren't in it for the money like so many other treatment facilities.I highly recommend Pathways. FYI they do not accept Medicare bc Medicare only covers and recognizes social workers for mental health. They will work with you on payment plans and work very hard to make sure that you get the treatment that is needed.I entered the program at the age of 67, it is never to late to get help and live a sober and productive life.

We are truly grateful for the kindness and creativity shown by Tchelsey, in her efforts to help my family with a plan, to pay for my son's recorvery costs. Tchelsey, Kim and Michelle are selfless and are determined to find means to support their patients and the families. Their commitment is a testament to their character. The methods they implemented, with the financial burdens, have been innovative and have provided us with hope during a difficult time.Our son did IOP and then needed something more and is now in Glenwood, Utah at the Pathways Wholeness Center. His experience at the Pathways Sandy location was great and he loved everyone there... especially Amy Hansen who was his personal therapist. She is an amazing therapist. Pathways has many levels of care for those with substance abuse, mental health disorders, and trauma… of all kinds. We know it will be a life saving blessing, to our son, to spend this time now in residential treatment.We cannot thank everyone at Pathways enough for their generosity and support. All of the employees are making a big difference, as they carefully support individuals with their specific needs, and help them recognize that their lives are of value and they are loved!

I am so blessed to be with pathways. I finally feel like I am in the right spot with the right people. The executive team is beyond amazing and I have never seen anything like this before. A CEO (Michelle) and COO ( Tchelsey) are some of the most amazing humans on the planet. They know each client by name and take care of them like they were their own children. It’s amazing to watch such beautiful results come from such a beautiful program.

This review won’t do the justice for all the amazing things that I have to say about Pathways. First off, coming to Pathways seriously might be the best decision that I have ever made in my life. I feel like every single person on this planet, weather you are recovering from addiction/trauma or not would benefit from all the lessons that I have learned in my time here. The staff is absolutely amazing and truly cares about every person that walks through the door. Pathways is such a safe place to get whatever type of help you need and is literally the definition of a judgement free zone. The more open and vulnerable you get in group sessions and in personal therapy, the more you will enjoy doing this amazing work of recovery. This place saved my life and I will forever be grateful for it.

It took some willingness on my behalf and persistence of the staff to make me realize that I am worth living life to it fullest sober. Everybody who works there really cares and are willing to do what it takes for each individual. I have been to several residential treatment centers. Best place i have been it truly saved my life.

Pathways is not just an exceptional place to find recovery and help when you need it. It’s a safe place to grow, to heal, and to get help with whatever it may be that you need help with.No two people are the same, and Pathways, and everybody involved in this treatment facility understand that you are unique and so is your experience. They will help you if you are ready to help yourself. I promise you that.Every single individual right down from the owner, to the COO, to the doctor to the behavioral therapists to the nursing staff to the staff itself meet you with the understanding that they will literally do anything for you. This place saved my life, and for that I’ll be grateful as long as I live.

I don’t think I would be alive right now if I hadn’t found Pathways. I was at rock bottom with my mental health and while I was afraid to enter residential treatment, I was also afraid of the only other option I felt I had at the time, suicide. Entering this program is the best thing I have ever done for myself. They have provided me unconditional support and love, as well as the tools I never knew existed to learn about myself and how old thought patterns and beliefs have been holding me hostage. Yes, it’s hard work. And it’s work that no one else can do for you. It’s the hardest work I’ve ever done. But they offer the best support and most well rounded approach I’ve ever experienced and I wouldn’t change it for the world. Thank you Michelle, for helping me see that I am worthy of this opportunity to live and be happy, and for creating this incredible program. Thank you to every single soul at Pathways for everything you do. Your love and care has not gone unnoticed and you will forever be treasured in my heart. ♥️

The approach taken here for addiction recovery is fresh, and just feels right. Absolutely love the team and the whole experience. They offer both inpatient and IOP programs, very convenient programs for whatever your needs are. Definitely recommend this company.
