<p><strong>ABOUT PROJECT REALITY</strong></p> <p>Project Reality is a nonprofit organization that has been providing <strong>drug addiction treatment and prevention services</strong> since 1970. Two facilities, one each in Salt Lake City and Provo, Utah, offer <strong>treatments primarily for opioid abuse and dependency</strong>. The Salt Lake City program is located in a business neighborhood on the same block as the Utah Department of Workforce Services and also operates a drug testing laboratory on-site.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Walk-in and phone screenings are available for clients who want to begin participating in a Project Reality opioid use treatment program. Substance abuse is treated as a disease with biological, psychological, and social effects and to address these the facility provides <strong>mental health and addiction counseling in conjunction with medication-assisted therapy</strong> (MAT). MAT involves ongoing psychiatric and physical assessments, lab work, and medication dispensing and monitoring.</p> <p>Integrated treatment programs incorporate evidence-based therapies designed to assist clients in achieving <strong>improved health and independent living</strong>. Methadone and Suboxone maintenance and detoxification services are all offered, along with <strong>individual, group, family, and couples counseling</strong>.</p> <p>Project Reality’s <strong>prevention program</strong> focuses on supporting families that may be <strong>at risk for substance abuse</strong> and its related consequences and circumstances, including illegal activity. Classes for parents and children are scheduled during approximately two-month cycles and address topics such as <strong>management of emotions, problem solving</strong>, communication skills, and ways to reduce risk factors in communities.</p> <p>Additional services offered include HIV testing and counseling, case management, and various community outreach activities.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>Among the treatment team members listed on the facility’s website are <strong>Ph.D.-level psychologists</strong>, licensed substance abuse counselors, physicians, licensed practical and advanced practice nurses, registered pharmacists, and social workers.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>While feedback from alumni for Project Reality is mixed, some former <strong>clients agreed on the strict and challenging nature of treatment</strong>. Rehabs.com received a survey response from a single alum to date who wrote that the facility provided a “hard but fair program.” Asked to rate on a scale of one to five the effectiveness of treatment and the availability of counseling options, they awarded four-stars rating for each. </p> <p>Reviews from secondary sources at the time of this writing expressed several differing opinions. Based on <strong>six ratings on Google to date, the facility has earned 3.8 out of five stars</strong>.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> Several claimed that the facility saved their lives and thanked various staff for their aid. On the other hand, Sammie was the only Google reviewer to date to leave a negative comment. "Compared to other methadone treatment centers, this one SUCKS. The only perk is that they have county funding. Other than that, this place is a complete joke," they wrote in a one-star review.</p> <p>Additionally, three YellowPages.com <strong>reviewers were split in their opinions of staff</strong> with one-, two-, and five-star ratings, based on five stars.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small> Two alleged mistreatment by staff while one described staff as “genuine.” They also wrote that staff “utilize their abilities to assist others in need.”</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>Project Reality receives funding from county governments and the United Way and is able to offer a <strong>sliding fee scale</strong> for services. Self-pay, private insurance, and Medicaid are accepted.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://goo.gl/a96xJ2" target="_blank">https://goo.gl/a96xJ2</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.yellowpages.com/salt-lake-city-ut/mip/project-reality-6686188" target="_blank">https://www.yellowpages.com/salt-lake-city-ut/mip/project-reality-6686188</a></small></p>
