About First Step House Residential
Residential treatment for adult men is offered at First Step House, a nonprofit residential program in Salt Lake City. The program admits adult men.
They mainly serve men with a substance use disorder who are at moderate or high risk of criminal behavior.
Outpatient treatment from the same operator is elsewhere in Salt Lake City, and recovery housing isn’t on this campus (those addresses come at intake).
The 36-Bed Orientation Unit
First Step House has 76 beds, and new residents spend their first two weeks in an orientation unit with 36 beds.
Residents live in dorm style housing with group rooms and daily meals, so a room and food are taken care of for the person’s stay.
The house also offers moral reconation therapy, a structured counseling method, along with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.
Plan on 2 to 4 weeks for a bed, which is the typical wait, and most admissions come by referral, though you can refer yourself.
Residents are funded through Medicaid, County benefits, Medicare or VA benefits and you may still qualify for help without them.
A sliding fee scale uses income and family size, and the program serves Salt Lake County in Utah.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Inpatient and residential programs provide round-the-clock medical and emotional support as you live at the treatment facility. This level of care may be recommended if you have severe addictions or mental health conditions since it removes outside distractions and allows you to focus solely on therapy. |
In outpatient therapy, you’ll attend therapy sessions several times each week while living at home. This is ideal if you have a strong support system and a lower risk of relapse. Outpatient treatment offers flexibility to maintain work, school or family obligations. |
Dual diagnosis programs address substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions simultaneously. This integrated approach to care improves the likelihood of long term recovery and stability by addressing the root causes of addiction. |
Sober living homes provide a supportive and substance free environment for you to live in as you overcome your addiction. Residents must follow house rules and support each other’s recovery journeys. Sober living fosters accountability and stability during this critical phase of recovery. |
