House of Hope Virtual 5k

Founded in 1946, House of Hope is the oldest provider of substance use disorder treatment in Utah providing a continuum of residential, day treatment, outpatient, and aftercare services throughout the state. Originally named The Utah Alcoholism Foundation (UAF), House of Hope initially served men with alcohol use disorder. It was in 1953 that UAF opened House of Hope, a residential treatment facility, in Salt Lake City to serve women struggling to overcome substance use disorder. Our mission is treating substance use disorders, rebuilding lives, strengthening families, and empowering women.

Since 1946, House of Hope has evolved to meet the specific needs of women with children throughout Utah. In 1992, we expanded to meet this goal by opening the Douglas Street Women and Children’s Facility where women could have their children reside with them while they were in treatment, a first-of-its-kind program in Utah. House of Hope expanded its children's treatment services in 2003 by opening the Hope Center for Children, which provides therapeutic care for the children whose mothers are in treatment at House of Hope.

Today, House of Hope has seven residential and outpatient facilities in Salt Lake City and Provo serving women and women with children. With individualized treatment plans, women at House of Hope receive trauma-informed therapeutic services that allow them to heal and rebuild themselves and their families in recovery.
