Southwest Behavioral Health Center

About Southwest Behavioral Health Center

Southwest Behavioral Health Center is a Utah nonprofit behavioral health provider based in St. George, running Horizon House West, a gender-specific residential recovery program in Cedar City, as part of a five-county service network.

A Regional Nonprofit Behavioral Health Provider

Southwest Behavioral Health Center serves Iron, Washington, Beaver, Kane and Garfield Counties, positioning it as one of the larger public-facing behavioral health organizations in southwestern Utah. Its residential programs, including Horizon House West, sit alongside outpatient mental health and substance use services under the same nonprofit.

A 45-Day Residential Substance Use Program

Horizon House West runs a structured, 45-plus day residential treatment model built around group and individual therapy, education classes, anger management, communication skills and relapse prevention, followed by an outpatient step-down phase. That clinical structure distinguishes it from a peer-run sober living house, even though residents live on site throughout treatment.

A Network That Extends Beyond Cedar City

Southwest Behavioral Health Center's broader residential system includes a separate gender-specific Horizon House location, supervised apartments in Iron and Washington Counties for people who no longer need 24-hour care, and dedicated women's housing with onsite childcare based in St. George. Horizon House West functions as one entry point into that larger continuum.

Serving Iron County and Southwestern Utah

Cedar City anchors Iron County and sits within a five-county service area that Southwest Behavioral Health Center covers from its St. George headquarters. That regional reach means residents at Horizon House West are connected to a provider with services and referral relationships well beyond the house itself.

Reaching Southwest Behavioral Health Center

Admissions and current availability for Horizon House West go through the organization's Washington County office instead of being handled at the Cedar City residence directly.
