About First Step House Residential
First Step House Residential in North Grant Street is a 76-bed residential recovery program for adult men diagnosed with substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health conditions. This is one of three residential recovery options First Step House offers in Salt Lake City, Utah. They serve veterans, individuals involved with the criminal justice system and the medically indigent population without financial resources to access quality care. This also includes men at risk of or struggling with homelessness. Individuals whose pattern of substance misuse poses a danger to them and to others are particularly prioritized.
Comfortable Accommodations for Recovery
The facility is fully furnished to optimize comfort, boasting dorm-style rooms, a professional kitchen and a group meeting room alongside common areas and laundry equipment. Clients are provided healthy meals three times daily while living onsite. Snacks are available throughout the day as well.
Clients benefit from the support of master ’s-level clinicians dedicated to helping them overcome substance dependence in a respectful and clinically efficient manner. These experts are trained in evidence-based practices and regularly update their knowledge to ensure they meet current standards.
Tailored and Evidence Based Residential Treatment
The program creates an interactive community space where you can achieve healing by engaging in treatment across multiple levels. Treatment is personalized to achieve the best recovery outcomes following a thorough intake assessment.
You’ll attend individual and group therapy alongside life skills classes and addiction education sessions. You’ll learn about the disease of addiction and its cycle, stages of recovery and warning signs of relapse.
You’ll also gain communication skills, stress/anger management and other practical tools that inspire sober living and relapse prevention programming. Therapists use a variety of proven techniques to help residents address patterns of negative habits that fuel substance use. These proven practices include rational emotive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing and moral reconation therapy as well as shame resilience and dialectical behavioral methods.
They also offer relapse prevention programming and medication assisted treatment. This technique can particularly benefit those with opioid use disorder. It involves using FDA approved meds to curb physiological cravings and alleviate painful withdrawal symptoms.
Residents receive financial and employment counseling, attend outside support groups and complete therapeutic assignments during weekends and evenings. They also participate in job search, recreational activities and house chores. There are opportunities for medical and legal visits as well. Family members, friends, and other natural support networks may visit you while living on-site.
The program also involves peer support services and comprehensive case management. Your case manager helps you take care of secondary issues that may impede your lasting healing. They can coordinate with primary care providers to facilitate treatment for untreated medical and dental conditions.
They can offer supportive employment, transitional & permanent housing assistance and transportation and legal aid via linkage to community services. Addressing these issues ensures holistic recovery in which the physical, emotional and psychological needs of the patient are taken care of. Most residents transition to outpatient care for ongoing support upon graduation.
The facility also offers long-term recovery management following outpatient treatment. Most residents receive funding for treatment via Medicaid, Salt Lake County Behavioral Health Services or the US Department of Veterans Affairs.
