About Wasatch Behavioral Health
Wasatch Behavioral Health (WBH) is a substance use treatment facility located at 1157 East 300 North in Provo, Utah. Established as a special service district, WBH operates within Utah County and serves individuals seeking structured, medically supervised care for substance use disorders. The facility’s intake process is coordinated through its Provo location, making it a centralized access point for residents pursuing detox and residential treatment in the region.
WBH provides two primary levels of care: medical detox and residential treatment. The medical detox program addresses the withdrawal phase of recovery under clinical supervision, offering patients a monitored environment as substances clear from the body. Following detox, the residential treatment program allows patients to continue care on-site, providing a continuous treatment pathway from acute withdrawal management through stabilization and early recovery.
Clinically, WBH incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a therapeutic method and addresses co-occurring disorders alongside substance use — a meaningful distinction for patients whose addiction intersects with mental health conditions such as trauma or PTSD. This dual-diagnosis capability means patients are not redirected elsewhere when underlying mental health concerns surface during treatment.
WBH serves a notably broad population: men, women, veterans, pregnant women, young adults ages 18 to 25, and seniors and older adults are all explicitly included. On the financial side, the facility accepts Medicaid and offers financial assistance, removing cost as an automatic barrier for those without private insurance. For individuals or families in Utah County weighing detox options, WBH’s public-district model and multi-population focus set it apart from privately operated programs.
