Residential Addiction Treatment
Acqua Recovery is a sanctuary where people come to stop the misuse of drugs and alcohol and begin a life in recovery. Tucked away in a peaceful, 12-acre property, Acqua offers peaceful meditative spots, relaxing water features, and a host of amenities promoting mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being. Here, you will rest, reset your focus, and rediscover the beauty of life without drugs and alcohol. At the same time, our evidence-based, trauma-informed approach to addiction treatment ensures that you'll experience the highest levels of professional care and treatment for your disease.Personalized Treatment
Addiction is a complicated disease that requires a sophisticated, customized approach. We draw from each patient’s experiences, preferences, personality, needs, and values to develop an appropriate course of treatment. We combine medically-informed therapies with experiential and meditative activities to deliver a holistic recovery experience.Experienced Professionals
Acqua Recovery is proud to have several Master-level clinicians on staff. These experts use their many years of education and experience to deliver treatment that works. Other staff members are caring and connecting. Many are in recovery themselves, or have family members that have made the journey. Together, our team is a welcoming and effective recovery community - the perfect mix of science and sanctuary.Addiction Recovery Coaching Program
Everyone in recovery deserves a guardian angel. Meet our recovery coaches. Our addiction recovery coaching program is truly one-of-a-kind. At Acqua, each client is teamed up with a nationally-certified recovery coach that will build a relationship of trust to support the recovery process. The coaches closely follow each client's progress during and after treatment, providing encouragement, feedback, and the opportunity for adjustments along the way. Reconnecting in a healthy way with other individuals is a very important part of recovery. Our recovery coaching program is a great way to create the sense of connection and accountability that fosters lasting addiction recovery.Aftercare
During treatment, you will begin to understand your patterns of thinking and action. Our Masters-level clinicians will help you find the root causes of your addiction and help you begin to heal them. For many, though, that healing must be a lifelong process. As you come to the end of your stay at Acqua, our team will work with you to identify appropriate next steps. Perhaps you may want to enter an Intensive Outpatient Program here in Utah, or maybe a sober living is right for you. It might even be time for you to fly home and get back to your family and career.

Meet the Staff
DAN PARRISHCEODan Parrish was named President and Chief Operations Officer of Acqua Recovery in September 2019. He joined the team in 2018 as Director of Marketing and has made a career-long commitment to help those struggling with addiction and its underlying mental health and behavioral causes and triggers. His mission is to ensure every individual receives the treatment and education necessary to recover and to find the resources that best suit their needs. With over 10 years of sobriety, Dan brings true empathy to those in distress and believes the path to recovery starts with each individual finding their true self. “Addiction is a disease we can only successfully treat by meeting it with compassion and honesty. If we do not find the reason why the cycle of self-medication started, how can we find the road to sobriety?” Dan is passionate about creating a program that facilitates long term success in both Mental Health and Substance Abuse.- DR. DANIEL PICKRELLMEDICAL DIRECTORDr. Pickrell is a physician with interests in addiction and psychiatry. He strives to identify the underlying cause of substance use. His understanding of addiction as the overlapping symptoms of biopsychosocial development is the foundation to his care model. He is committed to helping both patients and families understand that addiction is a treatable medical illness. He has been involved in the treatment of addiction for the last 17 years. His experience with patients suffering from addiction and mental health issues is what motivated him to attend medical school. Like many people in the substance abuse field his life has been directly impacted by the illness of addiction. This has helped him develop a unique understanding that each patient is an individual and requires an individual treatment plan. He values patient autonomy and is committed to assisting patients in developing a recovery plan that they can embrace. Acqua is the perfect location for Dr. Pickrell, as he can frequently be found fishing on the nearby Provo river. His love for the outdoors and an active lifestyle has drawn him to the beautiful Wasatch Front.

- JANNELL JONES ACMHC (ASSOCIATE CLINICAL MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELOR)MASTERS-LEVEL CLINICIANJannell has lived in Heber since the age of 4. She always said she would leave Heber some day and yet she is so grateful she stayed. Jannell comes from a large family and has 5 siblings. She has had interest in wanting to become a therapist starting from when she was in high school. It took her some time to complete the process. She has been married for 22 years and together her and her husband have 5 daughters. All of her daughters are grown and living their own lives which makes being an empty nester really fun for Jannell. She went back to school in 2012 and completed her bachelors in behavioral science in 2015 at Utah Valley University and then went on to complete her masters degree in August 2018 at University of Phoenix. She began working in a private practice office until she received the opportunity to come to Acqua. During her time in private practice she saw many clients who suffered with addictions and often referred them to inpatient care. She has a deep place in her heart for anyone struggling with addiction due to those clients, family members and friends that she has seen struggle over the years. Jannell has wanted to be a part of the process of helping those in need. Jannell think the hardest part of going through the process with one of the clients is knowing and watching them be ready to leave. She feels like a mother bird who sends her little birds out of the nest to fly on their own. She wants them all to continue on their journey and have the greatest success. Jannell is so grateful to be apart of the lives of the clients here.
