Journey Treatment Center - Baylors House

A Clear Continuum from Residential Care to Outpatient Support

This program is designed for adults seeking treatment for substance use in the Salt Lake City area. A central focus is helping clients move through levels of care — residential to a partial hospitalization program (PHP) to intensive outpatient programming (IOP) — without feeling like they are starting over each time. That step-down structure can be especially helpful for people who want steady guidance while they return to work, family responsibilities, and daily routines.

Residential Treatment With Social Detox and Structured Therapy

Baylor’s House provides residential care in a home-like setting, with social detox/withdrawal support available for people experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms and needing added medical oversight. Residential stays typically last 30–90 days, giving time and space to stabilize, build coping skills, and practice new routines. Treatment is grounded in evidence-based approaches, including motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), EMDR, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT), and 12-step facilitation. Baylor’s House also offers accelerated resolution therapy (ART) as part of its clinical approach.

Step-Down Programming That Supports Real-Life Transition

For clients stepping down from residential care (or coming from inpatient services), day treatment (PHP) provides a structured bridge back to everyday life. The program offers a minimum of 20 hours per week over 4–5 days, with an emphasis on practicing coping skills while re-entering personal responsibilities. Intensive outpatient programming (IOP) is offered in the mornings and evenings — an option that may work for people who need ongoing support while maintaining work or other obligations.

Recovery Community, Wellness, and Practical Supports

Journey highlights fitness and connection with others in recovery as part of the experience. Clients may have access to music therapy through Fit to Recover, reiki, and a partnered hip hop dance class at Dance Tech Studios in Park City, a space to express emotions through movement. The facility also offers recovery supports such as continuing care, discharge planning, outcome follow-up, peer support/mentoring, recovery coaching, housing services, and employment counseling or training. Transportation assistance is also available, which can reduce barriers to staying engaged in care.
