About Wasatch Recovery
Wasatch Recovery Treatment Center sits in the foothills above Salt Lake City with a residential campus in Cottonwood Heights and an outpatient and sober living facility in Sandy. The organization frames its mission in three phrases that recur across the program: instill hope, teach resilience, and achieve recovery. That language reflects a clinical model that combines evidence-based therapy with experiential activities and a strong relapse-prevention emphasis for adults working through drug and alcohol addiction.
The continuum of care is intentionally comprehensive. Residential treatment provides the foundation for long-term recovery, with day treatment, intensive outpatient, and sober living each serving as a step-down option to support reentry into daily life. Social detox manages the initial withdrawal phase under clinical supervision, and medication management addresses both addiction-related symptoms and any co-occurring mental health conditions. Virtual visits are now offered to expand access for clients who cannot consistently travel to either campus.
Clinically, Wasatch Recovery uses cognitive behavioral therapy alongside group therapy, experiential treatment, therapeutic community programming, medical assessments, and 12-step facilitation. The team describes its philosophy as holistic, treating not only the addiction but also the body, mind, and spirit. While care is available to all adults, the program highlights its mission to deliver care for financially disadvantaged individuals and families, which broadens its impact beyond clients with deep private resources.
Wasatch Recovery is accredited by the Joint Commission, accepts commercial private insurance and self-pay, and is staffed by addiction specialists who take an unusually grounded, down-to-earth tone. Whether a client begins with social detox, enters residential care directly, or is stepping down through outpatient and sober living, the program is built to support the long arc of recovery rather than a single episode.
