Life Stone Counseling Center

Located in American Fork, UT, Life Stone Counseling Center operates within the UT regulatory framework as a licensed addiction-treatment provider.

Care levels at Life Stone Counseling Center

Life Stone Counseling Center is an outpatient-focused program (Outpatient, Dual Dx) — patients live at home or in sober living and attend treatment sessions. This level of care is clinically appropriate for mild-to-moderate substance use disorder, or for patients stepping down from residential. Operational prerequisite for admission: documented clinical assessment establishing medical necessity for the specific level of care Life Stone Counseling Center provides. The ASAM Criteria 4e framework is the benchmark standard for this assessment and is referenced in most major payer medical-necessity documents.

Insurance and payment

Life Stone Counseling Center operates primarily on commercial insurance. The implication for patients: higher typical cost-share, potentially more intensive programming, and the full burden of MHPAEA parity-rule dynamics — including appeal rights when the plan denies. The facility also accepts TRICARE or military benefits. The operational prerequisite for admission is written documentation of: (a) network contract status; (b) prior authorization; (c) cost-sharing structure; (d) medical-necessity criteria applied. Absence of any of these four increases the probability of post-admission financial disagreement.

Specialty programming

The facility's documented specialty programming includes: Clients who have experienced trauma, Persons with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Evaluation of specialty-program alignment requires documented review of clinical team credentials, specialty-specific programming hours, and integrated assessment protocols. Specialty designation without documented clinical infrastructure is a recognized marketing pattern in the sector.

Before you call

Pre-admission due-diligence for Life Stone Counseling Center: (1) ASAM 4e level-of-care documentation matching clinical assessment; (2) written Verification of Benefits specific to insurance product; (3) MAT policy documentation (particularly buprenorphine and methadone continuation protocols for opioid use disorder patients); (4) accreditation verification via CARF or Joint Commission provider-search tools; (5) state licensing status confirmed via UT behavioral-health regulator inspection records. If the clinical situation involves opioid use disorder, confirm explicitly whether Life Stone Counseling Center offers medication-assisted treatment — buprenorphine, methadone, or naltrexone. Programs that do not are operating outside the current standard of care.
