Admissions
Youth Care of Utah accepts adolescents ages 11-18 who are experiencing emotional or behavioral problems including depression, mental health issues, and/or drug or alcohol abuse. Youth Care’s Residential Treatment Program combines an accredited school program, recreational therapy, behavior modification, and if necessary, substance abuse counseling. Tuition includes all therapy sessions, psychiatrist visits, academic program, recreational activities and room and board.
Adolescent Residential Treatment tuition is $480 per day. Many times this cost is covered by health insurance or there are student loans available. Please confirm the current daily rate with an Admissions Counselor.
Day Treatment Programs provide the same therapeutic program as their respective residential programs, but instead of living on campus, students live with families at night and on weekends. Day treatment tuition is $380 per day.
