Wasatch BH Special Servs District Foothill Residential Treatment Center

Wasatch BH Special Services District provides medical detox and residential treatment for adults in Utah County who are ready to address substance use and begin a structured recovery process. Medical detox is the clinical starting point — a supervised environment where individuals can safely move through withdrawal before transitioning into the next phase of care. For many people, this step is what makes long-term recovery possible.

From detox, residents can move into the residential treatment program, where the work of building a sustainable recovery takes shape. Residential treatment at Wasatch BH is not simply extended detox — it is an immersive phase of care focused on the behavioral, psychological, and social dimensions of addiction. For families supporting a loved one, knowing that both levels of care exist within the same organization can provide meaningful continuity during what is often an uncertain time.

Substance use rarely exists in isolation. Wasatch BH Special Services District treats co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis as central to its clinical work, not peripheral. Trauma and PTSD are confirmed focus areas, and the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) gives clients a structured method for understanding the connections between past experiences, current thinking, and substance use behavior.

This dual diagnosis focus matters for the recovery community because it acknowledges that lasting sobriety often depends on treating the whole person — not just the substance use. For individuals who have experienced trauma, or who are managing a mental health condition alongside addiction, Wasatch BH's approach offers a clinical framework that addresses both sides of that reality simultaneously.

Few addiction treatment centers in Utah serve as broad a population as Wasatch BH Special Services District. Veterans receive specialized attention, and TRICARE is accepted as a payment method — an important detail for active-duty and veteran families navigating their coverage options. Pregnant women have access to maternal mental health services alongside substance abuse treatment, reflecting an understanding that pregnancy and recovery intersect in clinically complex ways.

The center also serves young adults ages 18 to 25, seniors, and individuals who are court-ordered into treatment through its criminal justice programs and jail transition program. Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals and those with HIV/AIDS support needs are also among the populations explicitly served. This breadth is not incidental — it reflects the public behavioral health mission at the core of what Wasatch BH does.

One of the practical realities of long-term recovery is cost, and Wasatch BH Special Services District is structured to minimize that barrier. The center accepts Medicaid, state insurance, private insurance, TRICARE, and self-pay or cash payments. A sliding-scale fee option is also available, meaning that payment is adjusted based on a client's financial situation rather than a fixed rate.

For individuals and families who have been deterred from seeking residential treatment or medical detox because of financial uncertainty, these options are worth understanding before ruling out care.
