How to Apply
The Other Side Village is a Democratic Therapeutic Community (DTC), and participation is entirely voluntary. Our services are provided at no cost, and no health insurance or referral is required. We provide essential daily needs, including housing, meals, clothing, and personal care items, along with access to health services, education, life skills training, meaningful daily activities, ongoing support for program graduates, and opportunities to build a healthier, more purposeful, and self-reliant life.
To apply to join The Other Side Village, please call (801) 618-1234 or email us at info@theothersidevillage.com. There is no cost to participate in the program.
If you are a family member, spouse, significant other, friend, or neighbor and you know someone who needs this level of help, know that the person you love and care about needs to be the one to ask us for help. It is important for them to ask us directly and we won’t be able to accept requests from someone on their behalf. You are still welcome to contact us with questions or to facilitate the interview, but an important part of this process is that the person needing help has a sincere desire to change, be able to independently complete activities of daily living, and needs to be able to ask for help themselves.
Applications are received and reviewed on a rolling basis. All of your responses are secure and confidential. Once your application has been received, a member of the Admissions team will contact you.
