First Step House - 379 Redwood Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

First Step House - 379 Redwood is a men's sober living home on Redwood Road in Salt Lake City, Utah, in Salt Lake County. The property holds four separate units, labeled A through D, and First Step House runs it as part of its scattered-site recovery residence program for men.

A Multi-Unit Sober House on Redwood Road

Splitting one property into four units lets First Step House house more men at a single address while still keeping households small enough to manage day to day. Redwood Road is a major north-south corridor on Salt Lake City's west side, which puts the house within reach of bus service running the length of the valley.

What a Utah Recovery Residence License Covers

Every recovery residence in Utah has to be licensed through the Utah Department of Health and Human Services Office of Licensing, under the state's Recovery Residence Services rule. Licensing here is mandatory, not voluntary, so a licensed house has already met a set of standards the state enforces directly, with no outside association involved.

Part of First Step House's Recovery Housing Program

First Step House is a Salt Lake City nonprofit that runs treatment, reentry services, veterans housing and recovery residences together. Its men's recovery residences total roughly 52 beds across Salt Lake County, and the four units at this Redwood Road address make up a meaningful share of that footprint.

Living on Salt Lake City's West Side

Redwood Road runs through some of Salt Lake City's most accessible working-class neighborhoods, with groceries, laundromats and bus routes within walking distance. For a resident rebuilding a daily schedule, that density of basic services matters as much as the house itself.
