Cirque Lodge is a private and exclusive addiction treatment facility where individuals and families can find answers and care for their struggles. We have two premier facilities for those seeking the very best in residential addiction care. Our very private “Lodge” is nestled in the mountains of Sundance Utah. The “Studio” (formerly Osmond Studios) is located in Orem Utah at the mouth of Provo Canyon. Treatment is based upon the 12-step modality. It is personalized to meet the needs of the individual. It involves a family program of treatment, activities, and workshops for families. All of this is combined with the efforts of our spiritually founded experiential program.
We also provide a number of alumni programs and privileges. Alumni who are close enough can continue to participate in weekly aftercare meetings and other locally hosted workshops and activities. Our alumni can also take advantage of the Guesting Privilege. Guesting allows the alumni to return to the facility for 3-4 days and receive care when needed. This is ideal for refocusing efforts on sobriety and getting centered on recovery. It is a lifetime privilege for any alumni who have remained sober.
