Our mental health outpatient program allows us to serve those struggling with serious mental illness (SMI), as well as those struggling with mild to moderate mental health conditions. Our substance use disorder outpatient program allows us to serve those with substance use disorders who have completed residential treatment or people whose substance use disorders are stable enough that outpatient services are clinically warranted.
We operate one outpatient treatment facility located at Medina Place Apartments located at 434 South 500 East (2nd Floor), Salt Lake City, UT 84102. This facility provides substance use disorder and mental health outpatient treatment for adult men and women and for tenants living at this facility.
For those entering our outpatient program, we do a thorough assessment to determine if an outpatient level of care is best suited for individual’s needs. First Step House strives to ensure that each patient receives the appropriate services according to their needs. To accomplish this, we employ diverse therapeutic modalities across our continuum of care. Our therapists help patients address obstacles to their recovery and stressors that may occur outside of a traditional residential treatment setting. Outpatient services also include weekly family groups and monthly family activities. These groups and activities offer families insight into behavioral health conditions.
We have a strong team of skilled, experienced, and compassionate therapists and case managers who work with our outpatient clients to deliver Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)-based clinical treatment and targeted case management services aimed at helping patients successfully manage their behavioral health condition, become stable in the community, sustain or obtain employment, and access permanent housing.
Comprehensive behavioral health assessment, individual therapy, group therapy, psychoeducation classes, medication management, and/or case management services.
Clients typically receive between 5 to 20 hours of treatment per week, depending on their individual treatment plan.
First Step House is a place to make a new start, where people learn and practice the skills necessary to live productive and meaningful lives. Although we offer a multitude of programs and services, we have outlined the outpatient behavioral health treatment process below.
“First Step Outpatient has helped me so very much!! It is a very safe environment that keep me motivated and drug free. The staff is some of the best listeners I have encountered. They really care!”
“The outpatient treatment program offered by First Step House not only helped me in my recovery from drugs and alcohol, but also in every other aspect of my life as well….If you’re thinking of joining First Step House, stop thinking and get steppin’. The only thing you have to lose is unnecessary suffering.”
We offer a true continuum of care including evidence-based substance use disorder and mental health treatment, targeted case management, supportive employment, healthcare, and physical housing. We advocate for and case manage people from homelessness and triage to treatment completion, recovery housing, employment, permanent housing, and self-sufficiency.
At First Step House, we recognize that treatment is necessary, but insufficient on its own for sustaining the long-term, whole health needs of an individual. Offering supportive services in conjunction with behavioral health treatment creates long-term positive outcomes for our target population. We are a research-based healthcare provider committed to transforming the cultural norms of our sector that contribute to health disparities and inaccessible or ineffective care.
