ABOUT RENAISSANCE RANCH
Renaissance Ranch offers addiction treatment in line with the beliefs and practices of the Mormon Church. The Bluffdale, Utah facility provides gender-specific long-term residential and intensive outpatient care for men and women who are struggling with substance use disorders, including those who have received a dual diagnosis of co-occurring mental health conditions. Family involvement in the recovery process is a priority and a long-term education program is available for loved ones. Detoxification services are not available on-site.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Clients are expected to have been through detox prior to beginning treatment at Renaissance Ranch and referrals to a recommended facility are provided if needed. After completing a scheduled assessment on-site, clients begin a program typically lasting a minimum of six months. Residential rehab is 60 days, followed by another 120 days of outpatient care.
The Renaissance Ranch website presents a holistic approach to recovery, built on 12-step and therapeutic community models. Both emphasize personal responsibility and peer support. While therapy is also faith-based, clients are not required to be a church member. In addition to spiritual, social, and psychological recovery (which is supported by cognitive behavioral therapy), residents can expect to participate in experiential and physical activities, which include adventure and animal therapies. The residential program also incorporates work therapy. Among the gender-specific concerns addressed are socialization, trauma, and shame.
After developing a thorough discharge plan and completing two months in residence, clients begin participating in some form of structured, outpatient program. They may stay in a recommended sober housing facility or their own residence, supported by case management plans addressing employment, housing, and holistic wellness. Clients take random drug tests and continue attending group therapy sessions, beginning with more frequent, multi-evening meetings for 90 days before transitioning into once a week for 60 days. An array of counseling services are available in Bluffdale and at other Renaissance Ranch facilities throughout Utah, Idaho, and Arizona.
Aftercare also offers an active alumni network with 12-step meetings and recreational outings such as golf.
Successful graduates of the ranch's six-month program may return for relapse-recovery treatment at no extra cost should they require it.

WHAT ALUMNI SAY
Of 15 former clients who submitted reviews to Rehabs.com for Renaissance Ranch, more than half reported that the program saved or changed their lives positively. Reviewers specifically praised the alumni program, improvement in family relationships, and transferable skills learned during treatment. One alum polled more extensively awarded ratings of four or five out of five stars for each metric measured, including the staff's level of training and experience, the program's capacity to treat co-occurring disorders, and the facility's cleanliness and upkeep.
The three alumni who provided critical reviews complained of not enough individual counseling and an approach to recovery that was not as serious or spiritual as expected. They tended, however, to indicate moderate satisfaction with accommodations.
WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY
The six friends and family members of alumni polled by Rehabs.com to date provided more mixed feedback. A metric measuring the overall effectiveness of treatment received ratings split evenly between one star and four or five stars, for an average of 2.8 out of five. Two reviewers agreed with the critical alumni who wanted more one-on-one and more evidence-based therapy. On the other hand, all five asked to rate the facility's cleanliness and upkeep agreed it was very good, with an average rating of 4.4. Ratings also leaned positively toward the affordability of treatment, involvement of families in the program, and holistic offerings, with average 3.3-, 3.2- and three-star ratings respectively. The latter aspects are areas of emphasis on the facility's website.
