Jodi Lycett CMHC

Primary Therapist Maple Mountain Recovery

I believe that every person is doing the best they can with the circumstances and tools they've accumulated. I love engaging in crucial conversations that help others see a new way to think and behave. People are amazingly resilient. Everyone is capable of change, and my favorite part of being a counselor is watching that change happen. I utilize EMDR, Narrative Therapy, and ACT techniques to help people heal from trauma, anxiety and addiction. Maple Mountain has an atmosphere of love and belonging that creates a safe place to heal. The best part of my job is knowing that my clients are taken care of and loved here at Maple Mountain. Clients are able to make progress quickly here, and it is beautiful to watch. I look forward to working with you!

More Information

According to the U.S. Department of Health, Utah ranks fourth in the nation when it comes to the nonmedical use of pain relievers. This means that there are many of people in Utah who are taking powerful drugs without the supervision of a doctor, and they might be developing addictions as a result. Many more people are developing addictions to street drugs like heroin, or addictions to alcohol. Getting over an addiction alone can be difficult, but with help, you can learn how to keep your addictions under control for the rest of your life.
Detox: The First Step
Some Utah drug rehab programs provide detoxification services to clients who need help getting clean. Other facilities ask clients to go through detox in a hospital or some other setting before they enroll in care. Regardless of where you get help, if you take specific kinds of drugs, you might very well need assistance in order to wean yourself away from the drugs you’re taking.

Addictive drugs can leave a semi-permanent footprint on the brain, fooling those cells into believing that they must have access to the drugs you’ve been taking. As a result, if you try to stop, you might experience withdrawal symptoms such as:

The symptoms you’ll feel, and the severity of those symptoms, can vary dramatically depending on the drugs you’ve taken and the length of time that you’ve taken the drugs. In a detox program, you may receive medications and other treatments that could ease your distress and make the process easier to complete.

Living With an Addiction

In a story about prescription drug abuse, a Utah resident who was once addicted to prescription painkillers said, “I’d wake up in the morning and feel that I’d have to take two painkillers just to get out of bed.” This might sound familiar, but life doesn’t have to be like this. With treatment, you’ll learn how to feel calm and at ease, even when you don’t have access to drugs.

Therapy and Aftercare

After detox is complete, you’ll begin the real work of addiction care. Here, in your Utah drug treatment center, you’ll work with a counselor to learn more about how addiction works and what tends to trigger your cravings to use drugs. You’ll receive counseling to help you overcome prior trauma and learn how to develop healthy relationships. You might also participate in support group meetings, allowing you to learn more about the techniques other people use in order to keep their addictions under control.
