About Youth Care of Utah

Youth Care is a campus-style rehabilitation center in Utah that serves adolescents and children. The center offers residential treatment, accredited academic programming, and day treatment options. Youth Care works with young boys and girls who struggle with anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, behavioral health challenges, oppositional defiant disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), suicidal thoughts and self-harm, as well as co-occurring substance use. Treatment may include behavior modification, family therapy, recreational therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Many of the programs are organized by gender and age. Youth Care also collaborates with The Jason Foundation, which focuses on raising awareness and preventing youth suicide. The center is accredited by the Joint Commission and typically accepts most major insurance plans.

Youth Care is designed to feel like a college campus, with housing arranged according to gender and age, including shared accommodations. The grounds include both indoor and outdoor basketball facilities, yoga classes, a community garden, a fire pit area, and an on-site fitness center. During all activities, clients are supervised and can participate in engaging outings designed to build confidence and skills.
