About Volunteers of America Utah VOA Detoxification Center
Volunteers of America Utah VOA Detoxification Center is a CARF-accredited substance use treatment facility located at 697 West 4170 South in Salt Lake City, Utah. Serving the broader Salt Lake Valley, this center operates around the clock — 24 hours a day — making it accessible to individuals and families who need withdrawal management support without delay. It stands out as one of the few facilities in the region that combines medical detox with a dedicated Center for Women and Children under one roof.
The facility offers two primary levels of care: medical detox and residential treatment. Medical detox provides the clinical foundation for safe withdrawal management, staffed and structured to address the acute physical demands of stopping substance use. Following detox, residential treatment gives patients the opportunity to continue their recovery in a structured, supervised setting without returning to the environment where substance use occurred.
VOA Utah’s detox center operates continuously, meaning intake and care are not limited to business hours. Accreditation through CARF reflects an independently verified standard of care that the facility maintains. The presence of a Center for Women and Children signals a program design that goes beyond a one-size-fits-all model, addressing the distinct needs of women — including those with children — within the detox and residential framework.
The center serves both men and women, and the dedicated women and children’s programming makes it a meaningful option for mothers seeking medically supervised detox who cannot be separated from their children’s care considerations. Payment options include Medicaid and self-pay, lowering a common barrier to accessing inpatient detox in Salt Lake City. For individuals in the Salt Lake Valley who need medically supervised withdrawal management today, VOA Utah’s 24-hour operation means help is available when it’s needed most.
