Redwood Place Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Redwood Place is a men's sober living home in Riverton, Utah, in Salt Lake County, run through the Foundation for Family Life's MentorWorks program.

A Men's Recovery Home Tied to Reentry Support

MentorWorks builds its housing around people transitioning out of incarceration, and Redwood Place gives men coming through that program a stable address while they rebuild a routine. The Foundation for Family Life pairs housing with an assigned mentor and access to employment through Wasatch Staffing, so a resident's first weeks come with more than a bed: a plan for work and someone checking on how it is going.

Mentorship as the Core of the Program

Unlike a sober house that leaves residents to find their own footing, MentorWorks assigns a personal mentor to every participant to help build a sustainable reentry plan. That structure answers a need specific to people leaving correctional custody, where the first months outside carry the highest risk of losing housing, work or sobriety all at once.

Licensing Behind This Residence

Utah requires housing of this kind to hold a license from the Utah Department of Health and Human Services Office of Licensing, under Utah Code 26B-2-117 and the state's Recovery Residence Services rule. Utah does not publish certification levels, so licensing status is the record that applies statewide.

Riverton in Salt Lake County

Riverton is a growing city on the southwestern edge of the Salt Lake Valley, within Salt Lake County and a reasonable commute from the county's employers along the I-15 corridor. That geography matters for a program built around finding work quickly: Riverton sits close enough to the valley's job market without the cost or density of living downtown.

One of Three MentorWorks Houses in Riverton

Redwood Place is one of three men's residences the Foundation for Family Life operates in Riverton alongside Vine Recovery Residence and Myers Place. Participants move through the same mentorship program regardless of which house they are assigned to.
