Questions people ask about First Step House
Is First Step House inpatient or outpatient?
They are set up for 1 level: inpatient residential. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Salt Lake City, 5 offer a bed.

People dealing with past trauma are one of the 4 groups they offer a dedicated program for.
Does First Step House prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?
They prescribe 1 medication: naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Salt Lake City.
Can First Step House treat someone who does not speak English?
They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which not every place around Salt Lake City does.
Does support carry on after discharge?
What comes next is the question to ask on the way in, not on the way out. Sober living is housing with rules rather than treatment, and the rules vary more than the brochures suggest. The free meetings listed in Salt Lake City are worth finding before you need them.
Can I bring my own medication?
The list should include anything stopped recently, because a recent change matters as much as a current dose. Where a program has no prescriber of its own, what you take stays with whoever already manages it. Write the full list with doses and prescribers before you call anyone.
What is the family's part in this?
Treatment that involves the household tends to hold up better than treatment that does not. Family sessions are often the first place anybody explains what the next year is actually going to look like. Ask what the family program actually consists of and how often it meets.
