Wasatch County Family Clinic

Wasatch County Family Clinic (WCFC) is a substance use treatment facility located at 55 South 500 East in Heber City, Utah, serving residents of Wasatch County and neighboring Utah County. The clinic operates under the wasatch.org network and offers therapeutic services designed to help individuals and families navigate substance use and related challenges. For those facing a withdrawal crisis or needing structured medical oversight at the start of treatment, WCFC provides an accessible local option in a community that often lacks specialized services.

The clinic’s levels of care span three distinct tiers: medical detox, a standard outpatient program, and an intensive outpatient program (IOP). Medical detox represents the clinical entry point for individuals who require supervised withdrawal management before stepping into lower levels of care. The IOP provides a more structured schedule for those who need frequent clinical contact without full residential placement, while the outpatient program supports ongoing recovery with regular therapeutic appointments.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a confirmed therapeutic method used at the clinic, offering clients a structured, skills-based approach to understanding and changing the thought patterns that drive substance use. The clinic also addresses co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis, recognizing that mental health conditions frequently intersect with addiction and require concurrent clinical attention. Services are provided in English.

Wasatch County Family Clinic accepts a broad range of payment sources, including Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, self-pay, sliding scale fees, and financial assistance — reducing financial barriers for individuals who might otherwise delay or forgo care. The clinic also serves court-ordered populations, making it a resource for individuals navigating the legal system alongside addiction treatment. Hours run Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and the clinic can be reached at (435) 654-3003.

Wasatch County Family Clinic offers medical detox services in Heber City, making supervised withdrawal management available to residents of Wasatch and Utah counties without requiring travel to a larger metro area. For individuals whose substance use has created physical dependence, starting treatment with medically supervised detox is often the safest and most clinically appropriate first step.

Following detox, clients can transition directly into the clinic's outpatient or intensive outpatient programs, creating a clinical continuum within a single organization. This step-down structure allows the treatment team to maintain familiarity with each client's history as care progresses from acute withdrawal management into longer-term therapeutic support.

Beyond medical detox, Wasatch County Family Clinic operates both a standard outpatient program and an intensive outpatient program (IOP). The IOP is structured for individuals who require more frequent clinical contact than traditional outpatient allows — typically those transitioning out of detox or those whose living situation supports outpatient care but whose clinical needs remain significant.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a core therapeutic method within the clinic's programming. CBT is a structured, goal-oriented approach that addresses the behavioral and cognitive patterns underlying substance use, and it is particularly well-suited to outpatient settings where clients are actively navigating real-world triggers and stressors between sessions.

Wasatch County Family Clinic is equipped to treat co-occurring disorders, also referred to as dual diagnosis — the clinical presentation in which a substance use disorder exists alongside a mental health condition. Treating only one condition while leaving the other unaddressed is a recognized barrier to sustained recovery, and the clinic's programming accounts for both.

This capability is particularly relevant for individuals who have experienced anxiety, depression, or trauma alongside their substance use and who need a treatment setting that can manage the clinical complexity of both. The clinic's dual diagnosis focus is built into its confirmed treatment framework, not offered as a peripheral add-on.

Wasatch County Family Clinic accepts a wide range of payment sources: Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, self-pay and cash, sliding scale fees, and financial assistance. This breadth of accepted payment methods reflects a facility oriented toward accessibility rather than exclusivity, which is consistent with its role as a community-based clinic in a county that is not heavily resourced with addiction treatment options.

The clinic explicitly serves court-ordered populations, meaning individuals referred through the legal system can access the full range of services — including medical detox, IOP, and outpatient programming — alongside other clients. The clinic is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and can be reached by phone at (435) 654-3003 or by email at comments@wasatch.org.
