About Salt Lake Behavioral Health

Salt Lake Behavioral Health is a private psychiatric hospital in Salt Lake City that focuses on mental health and addiction care. It provides both inpatient and outpatient services for issues such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, substance use disorders, and trauma. The center offers a wide continuum of care, starting with short-term crisis stabilization and medical detox, and extending to longer-term recovery options including a 30-day residential addiction program and Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) for mental health, trauma, and addiction. Care is delivered using a holistic model that combines individual and group therapy, coping and life-skill training, and recreational therapies.

Salt Lake Behavioral Health also offers specialized programs designed to meet different treatment needs.

Military Trauma Unit: The Strong Hope program is created for active-duty service members and veterans, helping them work through trauma and PTSD. Therapies may include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which is widely used for trauma-related symptoms.

Trauma-Focused Therapy: Patients with complex trauma can receive evidence-based options such as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and other expressive approaches. The trauma-focused IOP typically meets several times per week to support a stable return to everyday responsibilities.

Substance Abuse and Detox Programs: The 30-day residential program offers a structured, supportive setting with individual and group therapy, 24/7 nursing, and medically supervised detox services. This helps ensure withdrawal is managed safely under professional care.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP): For mental health, trauma, and addiction, these IOPs provide ongoing, structured treatment while patients continue living at home. The programs help participants build coping skills and maintain progress without requiring full inpatient hospitalization.
