About

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.

  • 24-hour medical detox operation — intake is not restricted to business hours, critical for same-day placement needs

  • Dedicated Center for Women and Children, addressing populations often underserved in standard detox programs

Medical Detox in Salt Lake City, Open 24 Hours

Volunteers of America Utah VOA Detoxification Center provides medical detox services in Salt Lake City on a 24-hour basis. For individuals in the Salt Lake Valley who are in active withdrawal or preparing to stop substance use, the facility's round-the-clock availability means clinical support does not have to wait until the next business day.

Medical detox at VOA Utah is designed to manage the physical process of withdrawal under supervision, providing the clinical oversight that distinguishes inpatient detox from attempting to stop without medical support. The facility's CARF accreditation reflects an externally reviewed standard of care that patients and families can reference when evaluating detox programs in the region.

Residential Treatment Following Detox

After completing medical detox, patients at VOA Utah have access to residential treatment at the same facility. This continuity of care means individuals do not need to navigate a transfer to an entirely new program during a vulnerable period in early recovery.

Residential treatment provides a structured, supervised living environment where individuals can stabilize after withdrawal management. Having both levels of care available within one CARF-accredited program in Salt Lake City is a practical advantage for those who need a clear, uninterrupted step-down from detox.

Center for Women and Children

VOA Utah operates a dedicated Center for Women and Children within its Salt Lake City facility. This program recognizes that women seeking detox and residential treatment often have caregiving responsibilities or family circumstances that standard co-ed programs do not fully address.

The center serves women as a distinct population, offering a pathway into medical detox and residential treatment that accounts for the specific context many women bring when entering addiction treatment. For families in the Salt Lake Valley navigating this decision, the presence of a women and children's program within a 24-hour detox facility is a significant differentiator.

Payment Options and Accessibility

Cost is a frequent obstacle for individuals seeking inpatient detox, particularly when a same-day decision is necessary. VOA Utah accepts Medicaid, making medically supervised detox and residential treatment accessible to Salt Lake Valley residents who rely on public insurance coverage.

For those without insurance, self-pay is also an accepted payment method. The combination of Medicaid acceptance, 24-hour availability, and CARF accreditation positions VOA Utah as a clinically credible and financially accessible option for detox programs in Salt Lake City.
