Changing Lives, One Individual at a Time

Cottonwood Treatment Center Cottonwood Treatment Center (CTC) is a licensed 86 bed, secure Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility located in the center of Salt Lake Valley. We provide specialized residential programming with 24-hour care for our residents. The program’s philosophy is to treat every resident as a unique individual, deserving a high quality of care and treatment in a safe, secure environment. Our goal is to provide residents opportunities to develop the required skills and abilities to safely return to home or a less restrictive community based placement. To accomplish this goal, clinical staff incorporates the resident’s parents, families and/or other responsible parties into the treatment process and the program staff encourages residents to complete initial levels of their treatment plan.
