Steps Recovery Centers - Payson

This center provides compassionate, evidence-based care for adult men and women (ages 18+) struggling with substance use disorders-including alcohol, opioids (heroin, fentanyl, prescription painkillers), benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamine, and other drugs-alongside co-occurring mental health conditions (dual diagnosis) such as depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and mood disorders.

The center’s philosophy blends proven clinical therapies with optional spiritual principles rooted in the 12-Step model, emphasizing personal responsibility, holistic healing, and long-term sobriety in a supportive, home-like environment. Situated in a peaceful, semi-rural setting near the Wasatch Mountains, the Payson location offers a calm retreat from urban distractions, allowing clients to focus deeply on recovery amid fresh air, natural beauty, and a sense of serenity.

Treatment begins with comprehensive medical, psychiatric, and psychological assessments by a multidisciplinary team (physicians, psychiatrists, licensed therapists, nurses, and counselors) to develop fully individualized plans. Core programs include medically supervised detox, residential inpatient treatment (typically 30-90 days or longer), and step-down options like Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) for continued support. Therapies draw from evidence-based modalities: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care (including EMDR), motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, mindfulness, experiential therapy, individual and group counseling, and family programming (counseling, education, and visitation). Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is available when clinically appropriate.

Clients stay in comfortable, semi-private rooms with home-like amenities, enjoy nutritious chef-prepared meals, participate in fitness activities, yoga, meditation, art therapy, and outdoor recreation in the surrounding valley. The center emphasizes building emotional resilience, healthy coping strategies, life skills, and strong support networks for sustained success.
