About us

First Step House is a full-service drug and alcohol treatment facility that serves adults with a variety of therapies. It is situated in Salt Lake City, Utah. A broad spectrum of people may access their services since their Grant Street clinic accepts Medicare and Medicaid and offers reasonably priced treatment alternatives. First Step House provides long-term rehabilitation programs that are customized to each client’s specific requirements, in addition to inpatient and outpatient programs. Additionally, they provide veterans work-based programs and specialized assistance with the goal of fostering healing via employment and professional advancement.

Men with drug use problems may get residential rehabilitation via First Step House’s inpatient program. A diverse team of experts with expertise in addiction services is available to clients. To promote long-term rehabilitation, the program combines life skills instruction with individual and group therapy. In order to provide complete treatment that addresses clients’ general health and welfare in addition to addiction, case management services are also offered.

Individualized therapy is available at First Step House for people who would rather get treatment outside of a hospital. The outpatient program focuses on treating each client as an individual and creating customized treatment plans meant to position them for long-term success. It does this by using evidence-based treatment methods including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

First Step House’s long-term recovery programs provide continuous assistance via peer support, individual treatment, monthly service projects, career possibilities, and recovery groups. In addition to these services, the REACH programโ€”which stands for Recovery, Engagement, Assessment, Career Development, and Housingโ€”aims to promote self-sufficiency. The goal of this program is to decrease recidivism by using evidence-based techniques and providing a comprehensive treatment plan.

The assistance of homeless veterans is a fundamental component of First Step House’s purpose. In addition to medication management, job help, healthcare coordination, financial education, and limited legal aid, they provide housing services tailored especially for veterans. Assisting veterans in regaining independence, stability, and dignity is the aim.

First Step House provides services to a target group of very low-income people who suffer from severe and persistent behavioral health issues, such as mental illness and drug use disorders. The facility strives to provide its clientsโ€”many of whom have been homeless or incarceratedโ€”a stable environment and the tools they need to start over in life.
