Treatment

We treat the whole person, not just the substance use disorder.

We specialize in serving people with a dual diagnosis of substance use and mental health conditions who have been turned away, misdiagnosed, or underserved elsewhere. Here, they finally receive respectful, evidence-based care that treats the whole person – body, mind, and community.

Our continuum of treatment begins with intensive residential care, continues through outpatient and sober housing, and extends into long-term recovery management. Supportive services like case management, medical care, and employment support are built into every stage.

Treatment Steps

Everyone deserves the chance to recover.

Step 1

Orientation & Assessment

Every client begins with a comprehensive clinical and medical assessment, treatment planning, and immediate connection to supportive services.

Step 2

Residential Treatment

206 men’s treatment beds in three structured residential campuses in Salt Lake County, including REACH for justice-involved men.

Step 3

Outpatient Treatment

Flexible care that fits around work and daily life for those transitioning from residential treatment. Clients build stability and self-reliance while continuing therapy, case management, and employment support.

Step 4

Recovery Residences

Safe, sober housing for men engaged in outpatient treatment. Residents work, pay affordable rent, and prepare to move into housing of their own.

Step 5

Long-Term Recovery Management

Ongoing counseling, peer support, relapse prevention, and employment navigation to help clients sustain recovery after treatment ends.
