Last month, we invited the community to write inspirational notes to First Step House clients. One alumnus recently shared that he’s been clean for 22 months! We love hearing stories of our alumni doing well—thanks for sharing! #HopefulNotes #CommunityImpact

About us
The mission of First Step House is to help people build lives of meaning, purpose, and recovery. Founded in 1958, First Step House has evolved into a co-occurring capable, behavioral health treatment and housing provider. First Step House is accredited by the Joint Commission, the leading healthcare accreditation entity in the U.S., for our continuous compliance with performance standards and commitment to providing safe and quality patient care. We have been a consistent leader in the Salt Lake metro area delivering evidence-based interventions and achieving positive outcomes for individuals, Veterans, and families who struggle with high severity substance use disorders, histories of homelessness, mental health conditions, justice system involvement, and primary health concerns. We operate two residential treatment facilities, two outpatient treatment centers, and six transitional housing facilities in Salt Lake County, Utah. We are currently in the process of building two permanent supportive housing facilities for individuals with histories of homelessness, serious mental illness, and substance use disorders. The scope of services we offer include substance use disorder and mental health assessment, residential and outpatient treatment, recovery residence services, housing, case management, employment support, primary health care, peer support services, and long-term recovery management. Through our programs, we serve over 1,000 individuals per year- many of who arrive at our doorstep with very little resources, lack of family support, and numerous barriers to overcome.

A big shoutout to the amazing volunteers who joined us last Saturday to help clean up Trolley Lane Apartments! Your hard work in scrubbing, sweeping, and mopping the floors made a huge difference in preparing our new evidence-based recovery residence for 18 clients to move in. Thank you to Modern Age Law, Salt Lake City Newcomer's Club, and Wells Fargo in addition to our other volunteers. We’ll be hosting another volunteer day soon, stay tuned for more information on how you can get involved! #CommunitySupport #VolunteerAppreciation #TrolleyLaneApartments #RecoveryHousing #SaltLakeCityHousing

As we welcome fall—the season of transformation, reflection, and change—we're celebrating a client's story of recovery and purpose. Annie, whose name has been changed for privacy, came to our permanent supportive housing program after a challenging year-long state at the Utah State Hospital due to life-threatening mental and physical health concerns. When she arrived in our program, our team provided around-the-clock wraparound supports for Annie to welcome her to the community, ensure her safety, and safeguard her housing. For the past 9 months, Annie has stayed out of the hospital and has embraced her role as the Baker on the Resident Council. Talking about Annie, one staff member said, "This lady fights back against her treatment resistant depression AND an eating disorder by baking goodies for her neighbors. Her story is impressive... And she brings joy to her neighbors by baking the cake we serve at our monthly Resident Birthday Celebration. She also is constantly baking little goodies and handing them out to staff and neighbors." With each treat she bakes, she not only finds healing for herself but also spreads joy to her neighbors and staff, and her kindness is felt throughout our community. 🎂💕 #RecoveryMonth #Resilience #FindingPurpose #CommunityLove #PermanentSupportiveHousing #Baking
