Empowering Families Through Evidence-Based Addiction Recovery Programs
The Family Life Center is a central part of the Foundation for Family Life (FFL). As the executive director, Dr. Joseph White created FFL in 2010 to promote healthy family & individual life, to provide hope for those who want to write a better life story than the path they may find themselves on. He shares his gratitude for the life-saving blessing of overcoming addiction & incarceration in the video below. He highlights some of the joy found in his academic journey, the insights gained from studying substance abuse recovery in a professional capacity, & now the opportunity he has to "give back" in some small way. He is passionate about the hope available for all who want to change! He has a blessed family & attributes his story of success to faith in God, perseverance, & living true to his values. His greatest desire in life is to share with others the peace, love, hope, & joy he has found on his journey.
At the Family Life Center, our daily work is guided by a set of core principles that ensure every individual and family receives the highest standard of care, respect, and dignity.
We recognize that addiction impacts every facet of a person’s life—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. We meet individuals exactly where they are with empathy and without judgment.
True healing rarely happens in isolation. We are deeply committed to repairing, strengthening, and equipping the entire family unit so that the home becomes a lasting foundation for long-term sobriety.
Our programs are rooted in evidence-based therapeutic practices, led by licensed clinicians who hold themselves to the highest ethical and clinical standards.
We believe recovery thrives in connection. We cultivate a safe, structured, and supportive environment where individuals can build meaningful relationships and take ownership of their future.
Recovery is not a one-size-fits-all journey. To effectively address the complex nature of substance abuse and mental health challenges, the Family Life Center provides a comprehensive continuum of care.
Our specialized programs are designed to support individuals at various stages of their recovery, ensuring they have the tools necessary for a seamless transition back into daily life:
Structuring professional therapy, group counseling, and life-skills training around your daily schedule, allowing you to heal while maintaining your personal or professional commitments.
Providing safe, substance-free environments that foster accountability, peer support, and a structured bridge between treatment and complete independence.
Equipping loved ones with the boundaries, communication tools, and emotional support needed to navigate the recovery process together.
Through this multi-layered framework, we strive to reduce the stigma of addiction and build a healthier, more resilient community right here in Utah.
